[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#428618: samba: can fail with "bind interfaces only" and >128 IP addresses

[Christian Perrier]

(http://bugs.debian.org/428618)

Quoting Robert Edmonds (edmonds at debian.org):
> Package: samba
> Version: 3.0.24-6etch4
> Severity: normal
> 
> smbd can fail to start if the "bind interfaces only" option has been
> enabled, and "interfaces" is set to an interface that isn't enumerated
> by samba due to a 128 MAX_INTERFACES limit.

Interesting report.


An obvious solutions could be to increase the value of MAX_INTERFACES
but, imho, that would just be moving the problem aside.

I feel like forwarding the issue to -technical and discuss it with the
Samba Team....rather than just report in upstream's Bugzilla.

Advices?
