| Warning: You appear to have a trapdoor gid system

| From 'man smbd' I learned, that the program was unable to change its

| should I do to correct it)
It's probably because you have set the uid of `nobody' to -1. This is
wrong, because, for security reasons, samba uses setreuid() to change uid
from root to nobody. However, passing -1 to setreuid() won't work:
[setreuid.2]:
Supplying a value of -1 for either the real or effective user ID
forces the system to leave that ID unchanged.
The fix is to change nobody to e.g. -2.
