This Red Hat Knowledgebase article applies to Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® versions 4 and 5.
Microsoft® Windows® Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) introduced additional authentication principals and differences in the methods used to encode and decode packets between peers as default behavior. The result is that Windows Vista clients cannot properly authenticate or access shares on Samba servers of versions prior to 3.0.28 once SP1 has been installed.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 4 Update 7 and version 5 Update 2 will include Samba version 3.0.28, which addresses these interoperability issues and others seen with prior Samba versions.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5 customers experiencing significant impact to their operations involving Samba servers and Windows Vista clients after installation of Windows Vista SP1 are encouraged to contact Red Hat Global Support if a solution is required before the next update release. » Read more

This will be my last post from JavaOne this year–I’m headed back home. But that doesn’t mean that the rest of the JBoss crew is. They’re here through Friday to bring you more packed mini-sessions at the Pavilion booth and a few more technical sessions.
Here’s the schedule for the rest of the week and another personal recommendation. » Read more
This is another article in our series co-publishing with Fedora Interviews.
AbiWord just had a great 2.6 release and the developers took several hours of their spare time over a few weeks period answering questions and providing information. Thanks to the team and especially MarcMaurer for his time and patience. We present you a detailed interview with the AbiWord team on a broad range of topics. » Read more
Gavin King’s packed Web Beans technical session
Monday’s CommunityOne crowd was manageable and pretty much what I expected. Tuesday’s crowd was larger, but I walked straight into the technical sessions without a problem. This morning I stepped outside for a few minutes, and when I came back in, there was a line stretching across the entire large hallway and down an adjacent narrow one. Then I realized that was the line I wanted to be in.
At the end of that long (but quickly moving) line, Gavin King from JBoss spoke to a standing-room-only crowd about the basics of Web Beans. The presentation included a lot of example code, stepping everyone through binding types, deployment types, producer methods, and more.
If you’re interested in hearing Gavin yourself, we have a video interview of him talking about Web Beans. » Read more
Hello, Red Hat Network Satellite users! We hope you’re excited about the recent release of Red Hat Network Satellite 5.1. Earlier, we gave you some details about the new Satellite exporter tool that allows you to easily populate content on disconnected RHN Satellites.
Another new feature introduced by Satellite 5.1 is multiple organization support. This feature allows you to partition your Satellite into different organizations, each with their own subscriptions, systems, and content. It provides Satellite administrators with a new way to control user and system access to resources on a Satellite server. For more details on multiple organization support, please refer to our whitepaper: RHN Satellite 5.1 Best Practices for Multiple Organizations (PDF download, ~700KB).
The Satellite Team would like to learn how we can improve this feature to better suit your needs–and we need your help. » Read more
Today was the first official day of JavaOne. I visited a couple of non-JBoss sessions that sounded really interesting, and they were–so now I share them with you. The first is about an improved web recommendation system, and the second is for improving collaboration with your off-site coworkers.
But first, if you’re here with us…
Come visit us at the JBoss booth in the Pavilion. We’re straight back and on the right when you come through the door. Every day, we’re holding 15-minute mini-sessions in the booth on the hour. You can meet the core developers and ask your questions in person. We’ve also got JBoss t-shirts and free entitlements of JBoss Developer Studio.
Also, the JBoss technical sessions are all still ahead of us. So if you’re here at JavaOne, be sure to check them out. If you’re not, keep reading this week to hear more about what’s going on.
This week Red Hat Magazine is in San Francisco to bring you to JavaOne. (Or to join you if you’re here too!) I call it day -1 because JavaOne itself hasn’t officially started yet. Today things kicked off with CommunityOne, the “free and open developer conference,” featuring a good variety of sessions and representations from across the open source spectrum. It also included beanbags in front of Star Wars on continuous loop and human hamster balls–never let it be said that developers don’t like to have fun. » Read more
