Wow...I see what you've pointed out in the man page.  This is what I
read in the HOWTO:

>>From the Official Samba-3 HOWTO (Section 6.6.3, page 80):

"Windows 2003 requires SMB signing.  Client-side SMB signing has been
implemented in Samba 3.0.  Set client use spnego = yes when
communicating with a Windows 2003 server."   

However, it doesn't matter if it's set to yes or no, it's still broken.
:-(

Thanks,
Fran
