I have noticed SIGSEGV messages in smbd log. so I got stack trace, and
here it is:
(gdb) bt
#0 0xff1b303c in strlen () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1
#1 0x34724 in sys_utmp_update (u=0xffbeee10, hostname=0x0, claim=0)
at smbd/utmp.c:394
#2 0x34dac in sys_utmp_yield (username=0xffbeefc0 "tsoome",
hostname=0xffbef0c0 "ipv6x.ccu.ut.ee", id_str=0xffbef1c0 "smb/1",
id_num=1)
at smbd/utmp.c:567
I think, it enouh... basically, sys_utmp_yield() will call
sys_utmp_update(&u, NULL, False); notice the NULL in second argument and
unfortunately strlen() does not like this NULL:)
fix is simple - replace NULL with variable hostname.
BTW: sys_utmp_claim() uses correctly non NULL argument.
