now I've just getting this

The Samba 'panic action' script, /usr/share/samba/panic-action,
was called for PID 25021 ().

This means there was a problem with the program, such as a segfault.
However, the executable could not be found for process 25021.
It may have died unexpectedly, or you may not have permission to debug
the process.

panic action should run as root right?

log has this

I'm hesitant to attach a core publicly since this is a production system and it looks like it contains some private data like usernames and groups and my full smb.conf. can I extract anything useful from it?
