[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#612049: Authentication with ntlm_auth or winbind running on a DC fails with NT_STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE

[Predrag Gavrilovic]

Package: winbind
Version: 2:3.5.6
Severity: normal

Using ntlm_auth on samba DC (as a part of freeradius mschap authentication) or testing wbinfo -a authentication against winbind fails with NT_STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE
Bug is alreadu reported upstream (#7481), and patch is suggested.
I have tested patch on lenny with samba and winbind from backports and it resolves the issue.
Problem actually appeared after upgrade from samba 3.4.8.
It would be nice to include suggested patch or at least some information about the bug for people trying to set freeradius EAP or Squid ntlm authentication.
