In general, you're likely to get much better results with a read-only root if you use current versions of packages from unstable. You seem to have found a way to resolve the issue with the Samba package, but in unstable the issue should not have arisen: /etc/samba/MACHINE.SID has been replaced by /var/lib/samba/secrets.tdb, and those wanting a read-only root can easily opt to use /var/lib/samba/passdb.tdb instead of /etc/samba/smbpasswd. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
