OpenSUSE / Samba: "Invalid key 0 given to dptr_close" error
After upgrading to openSUSE 13.1, the Samba configuration - which I use mainly to share a directory on my workstation-cum-fileserver to a media player on the local network - mysteriously failed to work as expected. The client could mount, but not see, any directories or files. The only vaguely relevant clue appeared to be this entry in /var/log/samba/log.smbd:
Invalid key 0 given to dptr_close
After much head-scratching, it turns out AppArmor is enabled by default on openSUSE 13.1 and was the source of the error. Resolving the issue with AppArmor brought Samba back to life.
