Description of problem: Users on WinXP systems (and possibly other MS systems) get an error "The system cannot change your password right now because domain XXX is unavailable" (or something similar - this is translated from Dutch) when changing their passwords. This happens after applying MS patch KB 828741 (=security critical) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL 3, completely up2date. Uses Samba-3.0.2-6.3E How reproducible: Change password using a KB828741 patched system. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Change password Actual results: Got error Expected results: Changed password Additional info: This is a known issue with Samba, and Samba 3.0.4 fixes this. See 3.0.4 release notes. Please make an updated RPM available for RHEL 3
This fix is absolutely critical and should be back ported into 3.0.2 or RHEL3 samba packages updated to 3.0.4, which is preferred given the number of samba bugs 3.0.3 and 3.0.4 fix (a number of which we are running into here with a production samba+ldap environment of 100some users). Can you please update with current status? http://us4.samba.org/samba/ftp/WHATSNEW-3.0.4.txt
I've built new rpms that are currently going through QA. If you want to try them, I put a copy on http://people.redhat.com/fenlason/.samba/samba-*3.0.4-3.3E.i386.rpm Note that these have not yes been QAd, use at your own risk, etc.
samba-3.0.4-3.3E is being targeted for release in U3

A user reports "I checked the samba sites and noticed that it refereences KB 828741 (actually 828741 as MS don't use KB for patches any more. However, this is for MS04-012, when the real problem is with MS04-011 as stated in the Samba changelog. This is 835732."
