Hi Jeremy, First of all, thank you for sending us the patch!
I applied it yesterday and have been testing, it mostly works ok but let me tell you the unexpected behavior I've found.. With Windows XP, and any other client I've ever used, it doesn't matter which, if any, username the client sends to my share level security Samba servers. I specify the username for them with the "username =" smb.conf parameter and whatever the client sends me is irrelevant. In the [HOMES] section, I've got a couple directives.. username = %S valid users = %S Say I've got a UNIX user schaefer on the Samba server stercus. With WinXP I can go Start -> Run -> \\stercus\schaefer and irregardless of what username I'm currently logged into WindowXP with I'll connect to stercus as schaefer if schaefer's password is the same as my current WinXP user's password or if not I'll be prompted for a password where I can just put schaefer's password and presto I'm connected to stercus as schaefer. Using your patch and Vista, if I'm logged into Vista as someone other than username schaefer and go Start -> Run -> \\stercus\schaefer it won't connect, even if the current Vista user's password is the same as schaefer's password on stercus. So, then Vista prompts me for a username and password, I can enter schaefer and schaefer's correct password, it still won't be able to connect. What does work is if I'm logged into Vista as someone other than username schaefer I can right click My Computer, get into the "map network drive" dialogue, and in that dialogue I can specify a drive letter, \\stercus\schaefer, and, this is the key, click "Connect using a different user name" specify schaefer and schaefer's password on stercus and then the drive maps successfully. Eagerly awaiting any comments you might have. Again, thankyou for the patch, at least I have some funtionality now.

You need the attached patch. It'll be up on the Vista patches page later this week or early next.
