[Bug 458637] Re: Windows Live Sign-In assistant prevents samba from accessing Windows 7 shares

[Thierry Carrez]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: samba
  
  Many times samba does not show ubuntu shares (printer and folders) in a windows network, but a few times does. Need to reboot the PC several times until they are shown in the network. Besides when finally is possible to access ubuntu shares, the printer is not shown, so it is not possible to print, I notice the curious thing that with just opening the file smb.conf and saving it without any modification the printer is shown in the network. Other issue with samba is that nautilus does not show "Mis documentos" shares in PCs with Win XP, but still is possible to access them just typing "mis documentos" in the text mode address bar, and it is not possible to mount Windows 7 shares, a few weeks earlier those shares could be shown and mounted.
  I am ussing Karmic Koala amd64 updated.

+ 
+ == SRU Report ==
+ Impact:
+ Users can't mount shares from Windows 7 using any libsmbclient-using tool
+ 
+ Development branch fix:
+ Natty has 3.5.6, which is the upstream version containing the fix (released Oct 2010)
+ 
+ Patch:
+ Minimal patch coming from upstream bugzilla, see comment 47
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
+ With libsmbclient installed, try to access shares defined on a current Windows 7 system.
+ 
+ Regression potential:
+ This should only affect Win7 + Microsoft Live Sign-in Assistant SPNEGO exchanges. Patch was released upstream without negative effects.
