After I set up a new mail server, I started seeing this kind of messages when switching to the root user with sudo:

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

After a bit of digging around it was clear this was related to the Samba PAM module.

There are 2 options to get rid of the message:

1. Remove the module

apt-get remove libpam-smbpass

2. Change PAM authentication settings

pam-auth-update

and disable the option “SMB password synchronization”.
