samba - Feb 2006 - Samba 3.0.21b / Security = Server / Windows 2003 or XP clients / AIX 5.3 = Problems...

Wondering if any one has seen the following issues with Samba 3.0.21b
with Windows XP and 2003 clients:

[2006/02/23 11:47:58, 1] libsmb/ntlmssp.c:ntlmssp_update(252)
  Failed to parse NTLMSSP packet, could not extract NTLMSSP command
[2006/02/23 11:47:58, 1] libsmb/ntlmssp.c:ntlmssp_update(252)
  Failed to parse NTLMSSP packet, could not extract NTLMSSP command

Client logs are full of these messages.  Seems to only affect 2003 and
XP clients since I upgraded to 3.0.21b since my Windows 2000 clients are
connecting with no issues.  I could connect with the same smb.conf file
with no issues on 3.0.20b; but was having a problem with 2003 servers
connecting to Samba.

I have seen other messages; but mainly with winbindd which I am not
using...  Before I post debug information, I wanted to make sure it was
not a simple fix I was missing.  Searched BugZilla; but now posting to
the group...

Thanks !

Can you get a sniffer trace to illustrate this ?

Jeremy.

I think I might be able to arrange that via our network monitoring
group.  They ( security ) frown on us running our own !

Will get it coordinated.  Do you need any other information like a
testparms and/or running smbd in debug 10 mode ?  I will try to provide
as much information as I can...

3.0.21c seems to fix the problems I was encountering with XP.  Working
on testing it with Windows 2003 now.
