[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#650781: libsmbclient: will not authenticate using plain text passwords, regression from 2:3.5.11~dfsg-4

[Thomas A Caswell]

Package: libsmbclient
Version: 2:3.6.1-2+b1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Updated to 2:3.6.1-2+b1 and could no longer access samba shares through dolphin

Downgrading back to 2:3.5.11~dfsg-4 restores the functionality

The only server I have to test against sends the passwords as plain text.
(The following lines are in my smb.conf

[global]
client lanman auth = yes
client plaintext auth = yes

to make it work, the server is running squeeze)

Updating all of the kerberos libraries with libsmbclient does not fix the
problem.
