[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#452542: samba: Shares cannot be mounted with smbfs

[Sebastian Cruz]

Package: samba
Version: 3.0.24-6etch5
Severity: important


I recently upgraded samba from 3.0.24-6etch4 to 3.0.24-6etch5 because of
a security upgrade. That rendered some shares that I use mounted with
smbmount (provided in smbfs package) unusable. The shares got mounted
but they cannot be browsed within Gnome neither the console. Although
the shares can be browsed using Gnome helper (smb://). 

I tried browsing and "connecting as a network resource" from a WinXP
client and that worked fine.

The client machines I tried and failed were some Ubuntus and a Debian Lenny.
The samba log on the server for any of those machine says the same:

[2007/11/22 10:51:44, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_data(534)
  read_data: read failure for 4 bytes to client 192.168.0.39. Error =
  Connection reset by peer

I'd be glad to give more information if it's needed.
