Statement of Impact: Karmic shipped with a samba bug that prevented Widnows 98 client to connect to samba shares.
How this has been resolved: This has been resolved in upstream bug https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6551. It has been fixed upstream and for Lucid. I have backported the fix for karmic, which is attached to the bug report. How to reproduce: 1. Install Samba on a Ubuntu Server. 2. Connect a Windows 98 Client to an Ubuntu Server. You should get the following error message: Error 66: You have specified an incorrect network resource type. Your possible choices are (1) drive letter A: through Z for a shared directory path, or (2) port name LPT1: through LPT9 for a shared printer or modem path. There shouldnt be a regression with this patch. If you have any questions please let me know.
