[Bug 496160] [NEW] Samba 3.4 needed to support Windows 7 domain joining

[John Edwards]

Public bug reported:

Please backport Samba 3.4.3 to Ubuntu 8.04 to allow Windows 7 machines
to join a Samba domain.

The current version in Ubuntu 8.04 is 3.0.28, which produces these errors when Windows 7 tries to join the domain:
[2009/12/07 14:07:12, 0] rpc_server/srv_netlog_nt.c:_net_auth_2(478) _net_auth2: creds_server_check failed. Rejecting auth request from client NORDIC-XP-16 machine account NORDIC-XP-16$

Other attempts at backporting:

I've managed to successfully install the a.bono PPA packages onto Ubuntu
8.04, though they have a bug where the libpam-smbpass postinst and prerm
files run 'pam-auth-update --package' which does not exist on Ubuntu
8.04. They were also built against libtalloc2 and libcap2, which also do
not exist on Ubuntu 8.04 and so may need to be built.

Due to the large amount of differences between Samba 3.0 and 3.4 I do
not think that a patch to 3.0 will be easy, so I am requesting a
backport.

Thanks.
