[Samba] Samba / Lucid / Windows 7 problem

[David Harrison]

You could try turning up the log level in smb.conf so that you can see what
Windows 7 is passing to Samba, and in turn what it is sending to
smbldap-tools (sorry I don't know what level this will require).

For reference, at one site with quite a few Windows 7 clients I am running
Ubuntu Server 9.10 with the Samba 3.3 packages from Sernet and
smbldap-tools.
I had some initial issues with Windows registry settings, but never any
issue with smbldap-tools and Windows 7.
