Early adopters of Vista may notice that it will not connect to Samba share folders out of the box. This will be a bit of a pain for many enterprise customers. The technical reason is because Microsoft Vista's default security policy is to only use NTLMv2 authentication. To get Vista to work with Samba follow this simple tutorial.

5+ (shame I can mod you for one only)
God,... last weeks I really hope there will be article about OS trolls on OSNews.
Not that it would do any good. At least comments like this one would be on topic. It was bad with previous troll, but NotParker goes beyond annoyance. Beside the fact that OSNews ratings improved on constant bitchin' something should be done in this side too.
And the most annoying thing is they always demand answering their questions without answering single question of yours like today (fortunately as soon as comment is modded down it prevents Reply, otherwise I would be feeding the troll out of sheer anger. Thanks, OSNews for implementing this specific mode).

Well, I've usually saved such good natured posts for my good buddy LIP, but jesus christ I just need to come out and say it here. You Not Parker my friend are a grade A moron. I see you go on and on and on with this nonsense. I mean, what is this 5th grade? Wait man, I have a better one: how long has it been since you stopped beating your wife? Or how about this little gem: retard says what.
So yeah, just put a check by your reply:
__ Not Parker needs to grow up.
__ Not Parker needs to go away.
__ Not Parker needs to be sterilized so as not to damage the gene pool any more than his parents already have.
Anyhow, contrary to what some of the more mentally challenged os news readers might tell you, Microsoft did not invent the concept of sharing a remote filesystem over a network. But feel free to live with that little delusion if it suits your fancy. But heck, even if Linux or whatever was a complete replica of Microsoft's operating system I'd have no problem with that. A. Linux distributions tend to be free. B. Linux distributions tend to be open source.
And honestly, I fail to see how appreciating all the hard work the samba team has put in to make my life easier makes me some sort of cultist. Yes, samba is free software. No, that does not mean that by simply using it I'm forced to subscribe to some hardline free software stance a la RMS. I mean, you might as well tell me I'm some sort of fanatic for being happy that the casino I tend to hang out in just sent me $50 bucks, some coupons for free food and drinks, and a free hotel room.
In conclusion, it's a good thing I can't kill people with my thoughts.
