CentOS - Apr 2012 - NTLMv2 compatibility in Samba 3.0.33 standard packages

Good afternoon/morning/evening everyone, 

I've been running into
the problem of clients using Windows 7 with CentOS 5.X and file/printer
sharing. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the stand samba-3.0.33-x.x.x
packages DO NOT provide compatibility with Windows Vista/7. I've had to
manually compile samba from source or use the samba3x packages to fix
the problem. Just wondering if we're ever going to have the NTLMv2
subroutines compiled into the update/centosplus repo packages. 

Thanks,

Hi Andrew,

According to the Samba website, Samba version support Windows 7 Domain 
Logons started with Samba 3.2.12.

FYI....

---snip----
Samba versions supporting Windows7 Domain Logon

Support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 using Samba Domain 
Controllers has been added to the following versions:

     Samba 3.4 or later
     Samba 3.3.5 or later
     Samba 3.3.2, 3.3.3 and 3.3.4 (with NOTES)
     Samba 3.2.12 or later

We successfully tested Windows 7 Ultimate (Build 2600) with Samba 3.4.0, 
Samba 3.3.7, Samba 3.3.5, Samba 3.3.2, Samba 3.2.15, Samba 3.2.12 and 
other versions. Also tested Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise with Samba 
3.5.6.

If you use older versions, Windows 7 box still can join the Samba Domain 
but after rebooting, you will receive an error message: "the trust 
relation between this workstation and the primary domain failed" and no 
one can logon as any domain user.

Hi Andrew,

On my CentOS 5.x > 5.6 machines, I removed standard samba, 3.0.33, and 
installed samba3x (3.5.6 at the time I did it first), for this very same 
reason.

I don't want to compile anything if I can avoid it, and use the 
supported packages from the distribution, that provides updates for it.
