The backtrace shows it printing a name of the backend
method it's trying and failing to find:
224 char *msg = NULL;
225 if (asprintf(&msg, "pdb_get_methods: "
226 "failed to get pdb methods for backend %s\n",
227 lp_passdb_backend()) > 0) {
228 smb_panic(msg);
Do you have a log file showing what the
name is ?
It'll be what the user configured in:
passdb backend = XXXXXX
so I'm guessing a miss-spelling here will
cause the smb_panic.
We should probably print the error message
here and exit more gracefully.
