ALERT - POSSIBLE SAMBA BLOCK IN WIN 2K SP3

[Javid Abdul-AJAVID1]

Just wondering where did you install samba ( i mean what version of samba
and what unix flavor )

we are running samba-2.2.5/samba-2.0.7 on solaris platform, with w2k clients
accesssing unix share via samba

am concerned if w2k cleints get sp3 updgrade , this will have any impact

thanks in advance.

OK, we are interested in this. Try 'use spnego = no' in the global section 
of your smb.conf to see if that fixes the problem. They might have gone to 
spnego. Hmmm, spnego might not be in Samba 2.2.x, so that might not be 
the solution.

It might also be sign and seal. You might have to switch off sign an seal 
in Win2K with SP3.
