Hi,
I am looking forward to successfully join and logon a Windows 7 RTM to
a Samba 3 domain.
After a little googling and experimenting I came to conclusion that
only version 3.3.4 of samba can accept such clients :

- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1225500

Furthermore, Microsoft seems to have broken even compatibility with
their own NT4 server:

In the meantime I have tested with 3.4.0, 3.3.6, 3.2.5 and 3.3.4 -
only 3.3.4 successfully allowed logons.

Something must have regressed right after 3.3.4.

Thank you,
Costin Gusa
