Vista and Samba Question

[cgregan at aptenix.com]

Since the rest of the list might also want to know, and I forgot to  
include them:

Looks like the issue is Vista security policy is set to only use  
NTLMv2 authentication. This can be adjusted in Vista.

It also appears as though the Samba team has worked out this issue on  
their side by adding NTLMv2 Authentication to Samba in v3

Here are the details for changing the policy in Vista:

Ron,
Please let us all know if this fixes the issue.
