We are running into many ntlmv2 issues similar to a bug reported to RedHat, but with more then just the 3.0.x code (of which I know is no longer supported upstream, but RH supports): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=561325 I was unable to pin down a specific release/patch that fixed the problem, but it seems to work better with 3.4.5. Some guidance would be very helpful. In the meantime, I am going to be adding my two cents on the above bug report.
