I have been keeping my machine up to date with all of the latest debian packages
using apt-get. Recently when I did this it downloaded the samba security update
"[18 Apr 2001] DSA-048 samba" and samba was broken. Users could not log in and
the smb log said things like:

[2001/04/20 20:55:50, 0] lib/util_sec.c:assert_gid(72)
  Failed to set gid privileges to (-1,1000) now set to (0,0) uid=(0,0)
[2001/04/20 20:55:50, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic(2381)
  PANIC: failed to set gid

It worked perfectly just moments before the update.
I am running debian alpha 2.2r2 with the latest updates and the
vmlinuz-2.2.18pre21-generic kernel. I am trying to compile samba from source now
to try to get this server back up.

Thanks,
Tyler "Casioqv"
