SYMPTOMS
========

Clients running versions of UNIX on their workstation can connect to a Terminal
Server computer by way of third-party software from Citrix and NCD. If the UNIX
system is running an older version of Samba (used to access shares on Windows NT
Server computers), the Samba software can disrupt connections between the
Terminal Server and ICA client.

RESOLUTION
==========

Samba v1.9.16 was found to cause problems, which were resolved by updating to
Samba 1.9.18p10.
