Samba 4.13.14-Ubuntu panics when a connected macOS client reboots

ag flag
nstuyvesant

Just did a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 21.10 then Samba 4.13.14-Ubuntu via:

sudo apt install samba avahi-daemon

Whenever a macOS client connected to Samba reboots, I get the following email:

The Samba 'panic action' script, /usr/share/samba/panic-action,
was called for PID 24963 (/usr/sbin/smbd).

This means there was a problem with the program, such as a segfault.
Below is a backtrace for this process generated with gdb, which shows
the state of the program at the time the error occurred.  The Samba log
files may contain additional information about the problem.

If the problem persists, you are encouraged to first install the
samba-dbgsym package, which contains the debugging symbols for the Samba
binaries.  Then submit the provided information as a bug report to
Ubuntu by visiting this link:

Only need file sharing and Time Machine for the macOS Monterey clients (no Windows clients, no printing, no Active Directory, no DFS).

Anyone seeing this?

Again, see the Debian Package Tracker link: Nobody at Debian has packaged 4.15 yet. Newer packages are being delayed by a shortage of community volunteers to do the packaging (and several important bugs). Any community volunteer willing to [learn the process](http://mentors.debian.net) can help solve that problem.

Dear @nstuyvesant, I have almost the same issue while I upgraded from samba `2:4.11.6+dfsg-0ubuntu1` to `2:4.13.14+dfsg-0ubuntu0.20.04.4`. I bisected my config, and the `%u` contained share `path`s is the problem at my side. Of course, I can't avoid that, but maybe it can help.

for the record, this samba upgrade implied the `libtalloc2` `2:4.11.6+dfsg-0ubuntu1` >> `2:4.13.14+dfsg-0ubuntu0.20.04.4` too, so I don't know which was bad.

@nstuyvesant, try to replace the `%u` contained dynamic path with a static.

No, you will need to install from source. Best you can get from a PPA is 4.14 (the "samba latest PPA" was not updated for 178 week days).

PANIC (pid 1772): Signal 11: Segmentation fault in 4.13.14-Ubuntu

You might get a better result with a couple more lines above and below this error. This one line did not have me find someone else with the same issue.

Segmentation faults are security bugs and as such will be back-ported into all supported releases. There faults are pretty common for samba; I have seen them in every samba version and 4.15.2 is already not perfect either so installing from source might not fix your issue. So it might be better to file bugreport and wait for an update.

The issue was this line in my smb.conf...

server multi channel support = Yes

Apparently, this experimental feature doesn't work well prior to 4.15 (while I use macOS clients, probably happens for other types as well). Turning it off solves the issue.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
