Hello Rowland,

I do not have support contract with RedHat, and due to some application
dependency i have to be on 5.8. No choice for me to upgrade the OS. I have
choice to upgrade Samba from 3.5 to 3.6.6 through RPMs, but i am not really
sure whether it solves my core issue.
Coming back to my original query " CIFS Null Session  vulnerability ", just
i would like to understand whether any smb3.conf parameters which can help
me here, or this is something a known issue which is not implemented in
complete 3.X versions, or only 4.X versions can solve this issue. Please
let me know.
