Looks to me like you may have hit a different bug in winbind. Try running ntlm_auth from the command line and see if it gives the same problem.

if i use ntlm_auth from the command line a Backtrace is not logged. A Backtrace Log is also not generated if Freeradius does only few "sporadic" User Authentications. If the Count of Authentication increases i get a a lot of Backtraces logged.

There are plenty of people running in this configuration, and this is the first I've heard of winbind/ntlm_auth crashing and producing backtraces. So it's likely something is odd about your setup. Have you tried Debian stable - it's possible there is a bug in the Samba version in Jessie.

ntlm_auth in freeradius not that ntlm_auth is the cause... sorry my english is really not perfect but i hope you understand what i mean...

Your English is good.

No, it doesn't say that, and you shouldn't do that. It will kill performance. Use ntlm_auth if you can't use the new patches (which aren't released yet anyway). yes of course i know that i will lose Performance but is it not better than a lot of Backtrace Logs or core dumps..

I think you should try a different version of Samba. Other people don't see that. They _do_ see performance issues with too many auths/second, which is, I believe, from the way people have to use ntlm_auth at present, which isn't really a Samba issue.
