Comment 28 for bug 292791

I confirm this problem. For about two weeks I was unable to login. I don't know if I did any changes to the system.

- Local login always displayed the login-promt again
- ssh closed connection
- authentication for root-permissions within gdm was not possible, it reacted as if the cancel-button of the authentication dialogue was pressed when trying to install updates.

After removing samba and samba-common with --purge it worked again.
I backed up my /etc/samba/smb.conf before.
