Bug#23903: samba: samba maps username before authenicating with NT password server

[Eloy A. Paris]

Hi,

I am the Debian GNU/Linux of the Samba package in this distribution.
Today I received this bug report but since I don't use the
authentication method this user mentions, I can't reproduce the
problem. I heard Jeremy Allison said something about a bug in 1.9.18p8
regarding user mappings and posted a patch but since the patch is
applied to the version of Samba this user is using, I am wondering if
there is something else broken...

Does anyone have a comment or suggestion regarding this?

Thanks,

E.-

To: submit at bugs.debian.org
X-Mailer: bug 3.1.5

Package: samba
Version: 1.9.18p8-1
Severity: grave

With authentication set to go to an NT server the username passed to the
server has been mapped to the UNIX username. I think this is wrong.

I have a patched reply.c by copying username just before
the username_map call and using the copy in server_validate.

This looks like an upstream bug.
