Another RE: 2.2.3pre winbindd crash

[Noel Kelly]

Tim/Jeremy,

I have ended up concocting this - look OK ?

Thanks,
Noel

smb.conf = panic action = "/root/panic.sh %d"

/root/panic.sh =

#!/bin/sh

logger SAMBA PANIC ACTION Starting `date`...
/usr/bin/X11/xterm -display :2.0 -e gdb /usr/local/samba/bin/winbindd $1
logger SAMBA PANIC ACTION Stopped `date`

I always put '%d' on the end of the panic action so it can automatically
attach to the crashed process.  Sometimes some mucking around with xhost
is needed.
