[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#601667: libpam-smbpass migrate breaks su (squeeze)

[Hanspeter Kunz]

Ok. I can confirm that the above issues are indeed related to #579647.

My original configuration (LDAP,samba,pam) works on lenny with samba
from backports.

After upgrading 

  libldap-2.4-2 2.4.11-1+lenny2 -> 2.4.23-6

which pulls in

  libgcrypt11 1.4.1-1 -> 1.4.5-2
  libgnutls26 2.4.2-6+lenny2 -> 2.8.6-1
  libgpg-error0 1.4-2 -> 1.6-1
  libtasn1-3 1.4-1 -> 2.7-1

the problems described above occur. After downgrading

  libldap-2.4-2
  libgnutls26

to their original versions, "su" and "pam_smbpasswd" work correctly
again.

Unfortunately, switching from libnss-ldap to libnss-ldapd (as suggested
in #579647) does not help.

So, I am afraid that until this issue is resolved, users are not able to
change their samba passwords.

cheers,
