Re: samba cause "kernel panic" on my server !

John the ripper does not stress the net and hard disk interfaces of the

You may also have hit a bug that is triggered only by samba.
Samba uses also not commonly used system calls, that may be less robust

I also think you should issue a bug at debian.org so that they can test
it is not a bad interaction between with the kernel.

Simo.
