I presume you refer to auth_ntlmssp_prepare(), which I've now fixed.

Thanks.  I didn't see that a mem_ctx was available when I first did the
patch (there was no leak, the only success path free'ed the pointer).

I wish this were wrong, but I do remember when we first learnt about
this.  At least at the time, for SMB connections (where NTLMSSP level
signing makes no sense), you really do need to ask for signing otherwise
the session key wasn't available on the server side for decrypting SAMR
password sets.

Thanks.

We actually have gensec_ntlmssp_magic() for exactly this purpose, but
it's not in a place or form that is easily exposed to the session setup
spnego code.  I'll see what can be done.

Sadly my latest Fedora upgrade broke wintest for me - I can no longer
take snapshots!  But I'll either prevail on tridge's wintest, or run the
tests manually. 

For the curious, when I try to create a new snapshot I get:
sudo virsh snapshot-create Win2008R2-5
error: internal error unable to execute QEMU command 'savevm': The
command savevm has not been found

I'll get that testing done tomorrow, and hope to have this into the tree
soon after.

Thanks!
