## Memory leak warning

* "no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory" 

If you get the memory leak error warning:
'You can also fix this issue while keeping libpam-smbpass installed by running "pam-auth-update" and remove "SMB password synchronization". Got that solution from Thomas (reusch) on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...a/+bug/1257186 '
