[Bug 239947] [NEW] HAL crashes with generated smb.conf

[Daniel Fett]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: samba

Yesterday I installed and ran gsambad to configure my samba shares. It was a bit more complicated than expected, so I didn't complete the configuration. But from the time the new smb.conf was written, the HAL stopped working:
- Nautilus crashed constantly
- When I restarted I got a message "Failed to initialize HAL"
At first, I didn't expect that this was caused by the new smb.conf and tried reconfiguring HAL, restarting HAL and so on. Without success. After 2 hours I did a dpkg-reconfigure samba and everything was fixed.

I think it shouldn't be possible to crash the HAL via smb.conf :-)

(I'm not sure whether this is a bug in samba in HAL...)

Hardy Heron,
samba 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.1
hal 0.5.11~rc2-1ubuntu8.1
