[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#948671: libsmbclient: mounting a share from Windows XP fails on timeout

[D. R. Evans]

Message #20 says, in part:

I have just come across this bug, being now unable to connect to a bullseye 
samba share from XP. The samba.conf file is unchanged from the version that 
worked on buster, the relevant part (at least, I think it's the relevant part) 
being:

----
client min protocol = NT1
lanman auth = yes
ntlm auth = yes
----

I changed the first line, as suggested, to:

----
client min protocol = CORE
----

and restarted the service with:

----
systemctl restart smbd.service
----

But the XP system still cannot connect to the bullseye service. (The XP error 
message still says: "the specified network name is no longer available".) So I 
don't think that that's a fix/workaround.
