[Samba] [Solved?] Problem since upgrade to 4.5.1

[John Gardeniers]

Hi Rowland,

Thanks for the suggestion. So far, since adding 'ntlm auth' to smb.conf 
on the DCs we are no longer having this problem. Only time will tell if 
it stays working but at least I'm no longer getting complaints from the 
users.

regards,
John
