[Samba] Windows XP and Samba 2.0.5a

[Jim Shanks]

Updating to a Samba 3 will provide better support for XP clients.

That said, I used 2.2.7 for XP clients for about a year.  All that was
required was setting to 0 (zero) the Windows XP registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Service\Netlogon\Parameters\requiresignorseal

Then Windows XP should authenticate.
