[Bug 260687] Re: Purging samba breaks login (pam_smbpass.so segfaults)

[Jelle Foks]

When upgrading from saucy to trusty,  something similar happened to me,
the upgrade failed, because the samba upgrade failed because it didn't
like that there was a secrets.tdb in both /var/lib/samba and in
/var/lib/samba/private, and the fix was similar to joctee's comment in
posting #21, but then purging libpam-winbind instead of libpam-
smbpass... Note that a failure that 'breaks' sudo is can be difficult
(or frustrating) one to fix for many users, because not everybody will
know about or how to get a root shell without it.

Title:
  Purging samba breaks login (pam_smbpass.so segfaults)

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “samba” package in Baltix:
  New

Bug description:
  pam_smbpass.so is causing segfault here. For example if I ran 'sudo
  ps', following appeared in dmesg:

  [   89.789908] sudo[4669]: segfault at 0 ip b7b98adb sp bfce50f0 error
  4 in pam_smbpass.so[b7b3c000+12a000]

  I removed package libpam-smbpass and now sudo operates ok. Anybody
  else with similar experiencies or was this just my personal problem :D
  ?
