I share folders between my vista, xp, and linux boxes. This update makes it impossible to see my linux boxes from vista. Anybody know how to fix this?

I'm not sure that it is that simple -
Working with XP Pro systems it does not seem that this patch absolutely guarantees failure. I have one box that has the patch that fails and one that continues to work.
A packet sniffer showed the following:
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif][FONT=Calibri, sans-serif]On the XP system that fails a packet is received and interpreted as “NTLMSSP_CHALLENGE, Error: STATUS_MORE_PROCESSING_REQUIRED” - then the connection closes. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]On the XP system that continues to work when the same packet is received it goes on to send the username. The system that fails never sends the username.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Now, in this case the server is running "security = server" so it really isn't part of the domain but from reports to me by other folks it has also munged samba servers with "security = ad"[/FONT]

Thanks for the quick reply -
I'd like to make one point though - if the assumption that this patch is the critical change that caused these problems -
then Samba was working and dealing with NTLMv2 just fine until this patch was applied. Perhaps we are moving to NTMLv3 but then again who knows.
No doubt the samba developers will look at this and find a fix. I'm just trying to find a fix that doesn't require rebuilding samba on dozens of servers.
M-
I wouldn't bother rebuilding anything until you have a thorough understanding of the problem. As a suggestion, try experimenting with what happens if you lower the LMCompatibilityLevel value on the Windows PCs.
