Hello!

A customer reported problems connecting our CIFS traffic generation test gear to their SMB server.
We are using the 3.9.11+ kernel, and though it is patched, we do not have any
patches to cifs.

The OS is Fedora 14, 64-bit.

A similar system on Fedora 14, with a 3.7.10+ kernel was working, but when
we tried the 3.7.10+ kernel on the broken machine, it also failed to work.
So, it could be the SMB server itself is having issues.  (In the 3.7.10+ failure,
the server just failed to respond after "Setup andX Request AUTH message", though we
did get the TCP ack so it looks like the message was received by the server.)

I'm attaching a capture taken on the SMB server.

 From looking at this page:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff469913.aspx

It appears the problem (STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL) is:

"The size of the extended attribute list is not correct. Check the EaErrorOffset field for the
address of the SMB_GEA structure at which the error was detected."

I did not see anything about extended attribute list in the capture, but if someone else
with more knowledge could take a look and see if they notice any problems I would be grateful.

Thanks!
Ben
