Back then, samba (Lenny server)  only worked with NT hashes but now (Squeeze server) they want to authenticate with Win7 (ntlm2 protocols) And configurating windows7 to accept old NT hashes is not an exit. I want to update ONLY the smb package from samba (2:3.2.5-4lenny15) to samba (2:3.5.6~dfsg-3squeeze8)

Changes? Many many..:-)

I currently have no idea whether it's hard to backport the current
squeeze package to lenny. Backporting always requires quite some good
knowledge in packaging, even more because I think we're using
packaging features, in the squeeze package, that weren't there with
the lenny package.

But, really, it's hard to tell you what might be broken in your setup
by a 3.2->3.5 upgrade:; Samba setups can be very very different. *I*
did such upgrades in the last years and most of them were fairly
straightforward but using a testbed server would anyway be
recommended (and, yes, I know it's complicated to setup..:-)).
