Considering that the code change is in winbindd, the proposed package should be tested in winbbind environment. Access to a Windows NT/200x PDC is needed. Configuring a system to use winbindd (pam+nss) to authenticate users from the NT domain would be a successful test.
See http://us6.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/winbind.html for more information.
For successful verification two things need to be done:
1. make sure that the patch fixes the bug.
This can be considered done as mentioned in https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ samba/+ bug/328874/ comments/ 10.
2. make sure no regressions are introduced.
