My winbindd and wb-<ads short name> logs in both 3.2.4 and 3.2.6 are filled with this pattern: [2008/12/27 23:19:16, 3] libsmb/cliconnect.c:cli_session_setup_spnego(880) cli_session_setup_spnego: got a bad server principal, trying to guess ...

A fellow shows how patching the source code makes these problems go away. Other than the time on what seems like a spurious issue, are there consequences to this behavior? Is there a workaround? Thank you, list.
