[Samba] Memory leak in winbindd

[m.o.tigchelaar at kpn.com]

Hi there,

I am having the same problem with the winbindd daemon. I am NOT using ACL...
It simply dies on me:-)

I am running Red Hat 7.2 with the latest samba.

Ken,

We have the same problem with our setup on RedHat 6.2 (2.2.20 ACL patched).
We have two servers running identical hardware and software and winbind dies
every couple of hours, sometimes more often, sometimes less often.  It dies
during the night and at weekends so it does not seem to be load dependent.

You say it is a memory leak ?  There was a nasty one in 2.2.2 but that does
not seem to be the case with 2.2.3a - just the dying is a problem.

I have had a RedHat 7.1 machine running continuous tests on winbind for the
last five days and it has not died once.  I am going to add the ACL patches
next and see if that affects winbind.  Are you using ACLs ?

Noel

I'm running Samba 2.2.3a on NetBSD.  I've been having an annoying
problem with winbindd dying inexplicably.  I finally found a test that
seems to (eventually) kill it:

  while wbinfo -t > /dev/null; do /usr/bin/true; done

The problem is a memory leak in winbindd.  Actually, wbinfo -t will
still work, but wbinfo -u doesn't (response.extra_data is always null).

Is this a known problem?  Any fixes?

Ken
