>Description:
	As reported in ports/60361 and ports/52859, japanese/samba
also has a problem that "users cannot change password from their
windows".
	This is because of the failure of setresgid() called from
lib/util_sec.c:restore_re_gid().
	The setresgid(2) says, "Unprivileged processes are restricted
in that each of the new IDs must match one of the current IDs." It
seems that this "Unprivileged process" is such a process whose
"effective uid or gid" is not zero.
	I checked every return value of setresgid() in
lib/util_sec.c:restore_re_gid(), and found that before smbd gets PANIC,
setresgid() fails with EPERM because it is called with the both
non-zero effective uid and gid before restore_re_gid() is called.
	When getresgid() fails and results into smbd panic, the
effective uid and gid are not 0 but the uid and gid of a user who
wants to change his or her password (or nobody).
	The patch posted in ports/60361 is not good because it does
not solve the problem and just does not see the 'security check
failed' problem. It may cause some other security problems.
	The Samba Users Group Japan (SUGJ) helped me very
much. Thanks.

	Note: Discussion on this topic in Japanese is available, see
http://www.samba.gr.jp/ml/article/samba-jp/msg15772.html and
http://www.samba.gr.jp/ml/article/sugj-tech/msg06065.html

>How-To-Repeat:
	Setup your samba as PDC or password server, and then try to
change your password from your Windows client.

>Fix:

	A diff from ports-current. New patch file is added.
