Thanks for apply the patch.

Can I request this fix get backported to the precise package too? If there's anything I can do to help make that happen, let me know.

I've been running the final version of the patch in production on precise since June 2012 (and earlier versions of the patch since at least July 2011). Samba upstream have applied the patch to the 3.6 branch, indicating they believe it's a change suitable for a stable release series.

To get this SRUed into Precise, follow the procedure from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
- adjust the bug description as per template on that page
- write an easy to follow test-case (i understand that it may require microsoft server)
- prepare debdiff with correct version number for precise-proposed bumping the dot revision
- resubscribe sponsors team

I am unsubscring sponsors team for now.

Debdiff looks good. ACK. Uploaded to precise-proposed.

Thanks!

(Don't worry if you receive a rejection email, I rejected that upload to do a new one including a second fix:

Thanks Dave.

I've tested the 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.4 package from proposed against a 2008r2 server using the test in the bug description and it works.
