 Package: samba
 Version: 2:3.3.3-1.1
 Severity: normal
 
 See https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6301
 Applying the patch solved the problem here.
 I experienced the problem with the current samba version in stable and 
 testing.

Well, OK.

So, what is really the value added by reporting in Debian BTS a bug
that has already been reported, analyzed and *fixed* upstream?

In don't want to sound rude, but what you're just asking us is to make
double work by  hooking up on upstream BTS,
check in what version this is fixedand wait for an upcoming
version to fix the bug anyway.

I'm not in favor of applying the patch. Diverging from upstream is
pointless at this point of development. As they have a very regular
upload schedule that guarantees us that the bug will be fixed in an
upcoming 3.3.* version, there would be no point in applying this patch,
imho.

Really, please, this is a plea to all users of Samba in Debian: until
we are getting close to the release of squeeze, please *don't* make
double bug reports when issues are already dealt with and known by the
Samba Teamunless you think that the bug makes the samba package
completely unsuitable for release (ie is release critical).

Many thanks for your care reporting, still. Again, I don't want to be
rude but more try to save our scarce resources!

I can understand that for the version in testing.
However, I also experienced it with the stable version. For that I think 
it is good to document here and maybe have it fixed (don't know how the 
rules are about this).

 Ah, I wasn't aware that the problem also happens in stable.

Reading upstream bug report makes me think this bug should be
corrected in lenny, yes. Preventing W2KSP4 clients from joining a
Debian run by Samba controllers is definitely something we don't want
for stable users.

So, sorry for the rant: you were right reporting.

I subscribed to upstream bug so that we notice when a patch is
identified.
