After changing security to ADS, did you join the realm/domain again? You might have some incorrect local databases. Can you start fresh with 4.7.6 on this box?
Also, even on a fresh 4.7.6, I couldn't get "kerberos method = secrets and keytab" to work without crashing, that's the samba bug I filed upstream. I think there is something wrong when it attempts "secrets". I was able to setup a standalone samba server and authenticate to it using plain kerberos (smbclient -k) just fine, but I had to set the dedicated keytab option to /etc/krb5.keytab (which is the system keytab file anyway). Do you really need to specify "kerberos method"? The default value (not specify it) doesn't work for you case? The bug in 4.7.4 is only when samba seems to only affect samba when used as a directory controller itself: o BUG 13228: This is a major issue in Samba's ActiveDirectory domain controller code. It might happen that AD objects have missing or broken linked attributes. This could lead to broken group memberships e.g. All Samba AD domain controllers set up with Samba 4.6 or lower and then upgraded to 4.7 are affected. The corrupt database can be fixed with 'samba-tool dbcheck --cross-ncs --fix'. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1761737 Title: [bionic] samba PANIC, INTERNAL ERROR: Signal 11 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/samba/+bug/1761737/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
