samba - Dec 2002 - Any experience with Latest SMB Patch fro

Hello Everyone,

	I was just reading up a bit on the latest MS patch that affects SMB.

	Here is a quote that I read about it:

"...Windows Server Message Block (SMB) protocol which could enable group   
policy on domain controllers to be modified. Flaws in cryptographic   
signing implementation used by MS in SMB are the root cause of the   
problem. These flaws are fixed in Win XP SP1 or through a separate patch,   
released yesterday, which is designed to address the problem on Windows   
2000 boxes."

	Does this change in any way affect Samba? Has anyone tested out this   
patch before spreading it across all their Windows 2K/XP workstations?

	Any comments would be greatly appreciated. I wish to avoid any headaches   
that I can avoid on the network here.

Regards,

Should not effect us since Samba does not implement SMB signing.
