Good afternoon/morning/evening everyone,
I've been running into the problem of clients using Windows 7 with CentOS 5.X and file/printer sharing. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the stand samba-3.0.33-x.x.x packages DO NOT provide compatibility with Windows Vista/7. I've had to manually compile samba from source or use the samba3x packages to fix the problem. Just wondering if we're ever going to have the NTLMv2 subroutines compiled into the update/centosplus repo packages.
Thanks,

Hi Andrew,
According to the Samba website, Samba version support Windows 7 Domain Logons started with Samba 3.2.12.
FYI....
---snip---- Samba versions supporting Windows7 Domain Logon
Support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 using Samba Domain Controllers has been added to the following versions:
Samba 3.4 or later Samba 3.3.5 or later Samba 3.3.2, 3.3.3 and 3.3.4 (with NOTES) Samba 3.2.12 or later
We successfully tested Windows 7 Ultimate (Build 2600) with Samba 3.4.0, Samba 3.3.7, Samba 3.3.5, Samba 3.3.2, Samba 3.2.15, Samba 3.2.12 and other versions. Also tested Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise with Samba 3.5.6.
If you use older versions, Windows 7 box still can join the Samba Domain but after rebooting, you will receive an error message: "the trust relation between this workstation and the primary domain failed" and no one can logon as any domain user.

Hi Andrew,
On my CentOS 5.x > 5.6 machines, I removed standard samba, 3.0.33, and installed samba3x (3.5.6 at the time I did it first), for this very same reason.
I don't want to compile anything if I can avoid it, and use the supported packages from the distribution, that provides updates for it.

There are 2 options for Windows 7 support that I recommend.
The first is what Alain recommended ... there is a samba-3x version that is part of CentOS-5. The current version is:
samba3x-3.5.10-0.108.el5_8.src.rpm
That is a good option, and it will be supported with updates for the lifetime of EL5.
Another option if you want to use the smb2 protocol (the one that is used in Windows-7, 8, and Windows Server 2008 and is included in samba-4 and samba-3.6.x) then you can use enterprisesamba.org
http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/3.6/rhel/5/
I have personally used samba-3.6.x (and the standard LDAP in CentOS-5) for the last 7 months from enterprisesamba.org for $work for a Windows domain directory services without any major issues. (a domain for more than 300 users and interconnected across several US states)
