[Samba] Win2k SRP could cause problems with Samba

[Gunnar Gunnarsson]

I have recently had problems with a Win2k machine not being able to map
network drives residing on a Samba 2.0.8 server. The error message
received on the client side was "Semaphore timeout period has expired"
(well, actually it was "Tidsgränsen för semaforen har uppnåtts" for you
Swedish-speakers :-).

The client was able to map network drives residing on other Win2k boxes
correctly. Further, other Win2k boxes worked fine with the same Samba
server.

It turned out that deinstalling the Win2k Security Rollup Package solved
the problem. I haven't examined the deeper reasons for this problem,
though, so I don't know how generic it is.  Anyway, I'll stay away for the
SRP for a while; it bites me with OpenSSH, too.
