[Samba] Segmentation Fault when trying to set root samba password, IPA as a backend

[Garming Sam]

It's basically a memory debugging tool available on Linux. It's a pretty
invaluable tool in diagnosing segfaults (as well as a number of other
memory issues) because it can tell you where you're accessing memory
you're not supposed to.

All you have to do is install the tool for your system and just run
`valgrind <program> <program args>`, basically just putting valgrind in
front of whatever you were doing before. It will produce some (likely
long) log of its findings, hopefully with all the line numbers from the
source code.

Cheers,

Garming
