[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#459941: samba: security=share does not work any more

[Francesco Potorti`]

Package: samba
Version: 3.0.28-1
Severity: normal

This version shows a regression with respect to 3.0.24-6etch9.  Even
version 3.0.26 that I run on Ubuntu does not exhibit this problem.

The problem is that the setting
 security = share
does not work with Microsoft Windows 98 for shares requesting a
password.  Samba keeps saying that the password is wrong.
