Partimage-server crashes (need Debian merge?)

[Simon Wong]

I can start partimage-server, however, as soon as a client connects (Ubuntu or Knoppix) the server crashes mysteriously.

I see that there are newer Debian versions that mention a problem with PAM and GCC 4 which I suspect is related as the partimage log mentions trying to use PAM.

I see exactly the same problem. I also tried Knoppix (3.8.2) and Ubuntu Breezy as clients. Both times same effect -> SegFault on the server.

I will attach a debuglevel 10 logfile...

Title says it all

Maybe we should try rebuilding without PAM support? That probably doesn't matter much for this application.

[Alexandre Otto Strube (surak)]

What happened on this bug since then? Can someone please provide us some update? Thank you all!

[Rolf Offermanns (rolf-offermanns)]

Works for me in current Dapper.

[David Friedlander (dfriedlander)]

Same crash here, latest dapper.

Is this problem resolved in Feisty?

[Albert Damen (albrt)]

Tested successfully in Gutsy with partimaged-server 0.6.4-17. The server did not crash at login, the backup could be started.
Feisty uses the same version of partimaged-server.

partimaged-server changelog suggests this was solved in version 0.6.4-15:
0.6.4-15
  * PAM support is back. Added empty_salt.diff to fix the crash related to
    PAM.

[Albert Damen (albrt)]

This bug is solved in Feisty and Gutsy.
Nominated for Dapper and Edgy as this is a "crash" bug.
