Changing Samba password from Windows (ctrl-alt-del)

[James Marcinek]

I just found an interesting article:

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=15850

Indicating that a Microsoft fix causes the problem. I haven't looked at the
Samba site to confirm but I do have this fix applied (and am now looking how to
uninstall...

Does anyone know if this has been fixed in Samba?
