Yes. There was one issue in NTLMSSP and it has been fixed and the patch hasbeen posted, discussed, and ack'ed by Jeff Layton. I am not aware of any other issues at this time that break NTLMSSP authentication. Only change we would want to see is reconciliation of flags sent by client in type 1 (negotiation) exchange packet and flags sent by server in type 2 (challenge) exchange packet and resultant flags and data according to those flags sent by client in type 3 (authentication) exchange packet. > > Acked-by: Suresh Jayaraman <[email protected]> > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
