Description of problem: After running 'yum update', I found that Samba no longer works. Specifically, I can no longer connect to my FC6 server from any of my Windows XP clients. I am still able to connect from other Linux clients. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): samba-3.0.24-4.fc6 How reproducible: Simply upgrade to samba-3.0.24-4.fc6 and then try to connect from a Windows XP machine. I was able to fix the problem by reverting back to samba-3.0.24-3.fc6.
Same symptoms here (connect OK from linux client using mount.cifs, can't connect from VMWare guest running XP). When I say "can't connect", the samba log indicates that a connection was created as the correct user and then closed, and the XP client says that no connection could be made.
OK, this seems to be a duplicate of Bug #235821 and rebooting the XP client fixes the problem. Given that this is a known issue, it would have been nice to have had some mention of this is the package changelog and/or package announcement.
