Bug Description
Binary package hint: samba
In default Karmic configuration, samba is not configured to use NTLMv2 authentication procedure, which makes impossible connecting to NT5.0-NT6.1 servers and workstations. The solution requires adding a paramer (not even present there by default) to smb.conf. Considering NTLMv2 is used in production environment since circa 2000 I think it's time to enable it by default.

This should probably be marked higher than "wishlist". By default, Windows Vista (probably also 7) requires NTLMv2 and I think (not confirmed) Windows 2008 domain controllers require this for their shares as well.
Unless enabling v2 prevents v1 authentication, I can't think of any good reason not to enable this by default on Ubuntu (or even in upstream).
