Hi everyone,
yesterday my small server with slack9.1 said good bye :-(
from console i got this messagge in loop series:
/sbin/agetty: /lib/libc.so.6 too small
wait 5'
there was no way to login! so boot from cd-rom and infact in /lib all
the most important lib (glibc) were corrupted! 0 size.
so I installed 'manualy' the package glibc.tgz and then the next boot
the server was again up :-))
checking the syslog, it seems that the faul is in samba daemon (smbd and
nmbd) starting with

[2003/10/29 19:49:45, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(37)
INTERNAL ERROR: Signal 11 in pid 621 (3.0.0)
Please read the appendix Bugs of the Samba HOWTO collection
[2003/10/29 19:49:45, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(39)
[2003/10/29 19:49:45, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic(1400)
PANIC: internal error
[2003/10/29 19:49:45, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic(1407)
BACKTRACE: 18 stack frames:

#2 /usr/sbin/nmbd [0x80bf39d]
#3 /lib/libc.so.6 [0x400abab8]
etc etc...

I am going to read the samba doc (I installed samba3.0.0 as tgz from
linuxpackages) to check the error.
now is up without samba but my question is: that situation is new or
someone has had already notice?
then booting form cd rom i mount the /dev/hda1 on /mnt/tmp
then of course giving the installpkg glibc.tgz all the files were copied
in /lib and not in /mnt/tmp/lib so i had to copied them manually...
is there another way no so brutal???

thanks
andrea

i don't use samba myself, but i guess that if it's common to corrupt
glibc libs, that more people would have complained by now.

install samba again, see if it does the same thing.
or maybe contact the maintainer of the package you downloaded.

you can use the '-root' parameter, see the manpage for details.

hi jurgen,
exactly you are right...too much strange to corrupte the libs....
anyway that error is reported in the bugzilla.samba but doesn't say
anything about lib...:-??? really don't know
anyway, i am wondering if the true problem is a hardware problem..for
the signal 11. wondering if it is the hard disk is living me :-(( ....
i will check..sure slack(linux) still shown his greatness :-)

thanks for the trick...:-)
cya
