Login fails - Win95 vs. NT4 PDC using domain=server and winbind

[Sean Trammell]

I had a similar problem with windows 95 osr2 clients accessing samba
shares during a logon script.  During the logon script, mapping to only
the samba shares fail.  After logon, everything works fine.  I also use
winbind against an NT4 SP6a PDC.  This update for Windows 95 resolved
the issue for my remaining 95 clients:

It's the 'November 12, 1999' security update.  Applying that fix to the
affected 95 computer works for me, I have no idea why based on the
description that Microsoft gives though...
