<p><span class=rvts6>Good morning,</span></p>
<p><span class=rvts6> </span></p>
<p><span class=rvts6>Microsoft has brought out a patch (MS08-068) for the SMB protocol. This patch, patches a flaw which is over 7 years old in the SMB of Windows. </span></p>
<p><span class=rvts6>I have a Fedora 9 Samba server running and Windows XP / Vista Clients. Does anyone have any information as to possible problems applying this patch? </span></p>
<p><span class=rvts6>Since the patch changes the way SMB authentification is checked / done, I am worried that my clients will not be able to reach their samba shares. </span></p>
<p><span class=rvts6> </span></p>
<p><span class=rvts6>regards</span></p>

<p>I can now confirm. On Vista x64 with the above mentioned Windows Patch - Samba connection will not work. </p>
<p>Uninstalling the Patch and everything works fine again.</p>
