This bug can be avoided by + the server sending no security blob in the SMB_COM_NEGOTIATE + response. This forces the client to send an initial GSS init_sec_context + blob under all circumstances which works around the bug in Microsoft's + code. + + As a result of the SMB 1.x bug, all attempts to reconnect fail due to + SMB connection resets. The SMB 1.x redirector will retry indefinitely + but all processes with outstanding requests to \\AFS will block until + the machine is rebooted. + +There were no 1.6.1pre1 and pre2 builds for the Windows platform. + Since 1.6.0002 (1.6.0b) * Mount point strings always have a trailing dot
