[Bug 502878] Re: [SRU] Samba 3.4.0 won't let win98 clients to connect

[Chuck Short]

Statement of Impact: Karmic shipped with a samba bug that prevented
Widnows 98 client to connect to samba shares.

How this has been resolved: This has been resolved in upstream bug
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6551. It has been fixed
upstream and for Lucid. I have backported the fix for karmic, which is
attached to the bug report.

How to reproduce:

1. Install Samba on a Ubuntu Server.
2. Connect a Windows 98 Client to an Ubuntu Server. You should get the following error message:

Error 66: You have specified an incorrect network resource type. Your
possible choices are (1) drive letter A: through Z for a shared directory
path, or (2) port name LPT1: through LPT9 for a shared printer or modem path.

There shouldnt be a regression with this patch.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Regards
chuck
