Samba Panic

[Ken Pratt]

Binary package hint: samba

I see this several time a day in roots email.

The Samba 'panic action' script, /usr/share/samba/panic-action,
was called for PID 5608 ().

This means there was a problem with the program, such as a segfault.
However, the executable could not be found for process 5608.
It may have died unexpectedly, or you may not have permission to debug
the process.

This started happening as soon as I placed a Windows 7 computer on the local net.

Could you please attach your /var/log/samba/log.smbd?

Thanks

Browsing through this it appears this may be caused by misconfiguration? I am using the Ubuntu 9.10 nautilus share folder to set up the shares.
