I’m running Ubuntu 14.04 Server with a LAMP stack, Samba, and FTP, no GUI, just SSHing into the server and working on it. I’m having trouble searching down a solution to this issue, but as far as I can Google for it, it might have something to do with Samba.

no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory??

The warning doesn't pop up at any kind of regular intervals or in response to the same or repeated actions. It pops up between things I’m doing - changing directories, editing files, copying stuff, and it often pops up when I first log in.

Has anyone got experience fixing this issue?

  • When do you see that message? Do you see it on a window or what?

  • It is usually a good idea to search the internet for the error message. I did it, fount this post and at the end there were 2 possible solutions.

This problem is related to the samba PAM module.

There are 2 solutions.

Solution 1:

Remove it with this command:

sudo apt-get remove libpam-smbpass

Reference

Solution 2:

Fix it by updating your PAM authentication module with this command: 

sudo pam-auth-update

Remove the SMB password synchronization by using Down Arrow a few times and then Space. Then Tab to select OK and Enter.

    What is solution #2? It is said "remove SMB password synchronization"?

  • No, just update the PAM Authentication module, Google it.

  • Both “solutions”, as you call them, actually disable password synchronization. Not a great idea, really.

Looks like the folks at Samba have address the bug and have it staged for the next release: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8449

Have you tried running fsck on your partitions? That particular error for me seemed to have disappeared after running it.
