Client:  x86 SuSE 9.1, winbind 3.0.4 (SuSE RPM,3.0.4 with #1259,#1315 & #1319)
Server:  Alpha Tru64 5.1B, Samba 2.2.9

After a YOU upgrade to the latest samba-* packages, I note that winbindd
fails to authenticate against my 2.2.9 Samba server. This could be a
problem with that server that is exposed by the new version (or it could be a 
SuSE issue) but in any case there is a change in behaviour that is worth 
reporting.

# rpm -qa | grep winbind
samba-winbind-3.0.4-1.12

# wbinfo -V
Version 3.0.4-SUSE

'wbinfo -t' is "unstable" but never checks the secret;

# wbinfo -t
checking the trust secret via RPC calls failed
error code was NT_STATUS_PIPE_NOT_AVAILABLE (0xc00000ac)
Could not check secret

# wbinfo -t
checking the trust secret via RPC calls failed
error code was NT_STATUS_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_NOT_FOUND (0xc0000233)
Could not check secret


Joining the domain again succeeds but the secret is still not verifiable.

The server reports;

  rpc_server/srv_pipe.c:(828)
  api_pipe_bind_req: unknown auth type 44 requested.

It looks like the value that should be NTLMSSP_AUTH_TYPE has been modified.

A simple strace of 'wbinfo -t' shows that the request size also seems to have 
changed from 1568 to 1824;

< write(4, " \6\0\0\30\0\0\0\351#\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 1568)

Reverting back to the 3.0.2a packages restores the expected behaviour.

Incidently, googling for "auth type 44" yields two hits - one under
a WWW search and one under a Newsgroup search but neither were resolved.
This usually means the problem is rare or that it is a thinko on the part
of the posters ;-)

There are a few more for "samba 1824" - one suggests 'you are running old 
wbinfo, pam_winbind or libnss_winbind clients'. This doesn't appear to be
the case here as they are updated with winbind itself.

Suggestions please! I am doing something really silly ?
