Windows 7 and Windows LiveID Sign-In Assistant working with SAMBA

Hi,

I have 3 computers. One running openSuse 11.3 with SAMBA and the other 2 are Windows 7 Professional boxes. I have the same user name and passwords for all three boxes.

From the Linux box I can access one of the Windows 7 boxes but the other won’t accept my user name and password. The one that won’t accept has Windows LiveID Sign-In Assistant installed. Apparantly that’s an automatic install now.

I’ve read that there is a bug with the SAMBA libsmbclient (https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7577).

I tried updating via YAST but still end up with version 3.5.4-5.1.2 and this doesn’t work.

Anyone know if 11.4 has the updated libsmbclient? If it doesn’t, does anyone know of a way to fix this problem?

Thanks
Airick

Solution was to update each SAMBA file using openSuse’s 1-click feature. A bit painful and time consuming but it worked.
