smbclient incorrectly guesses the service principal if the user and server do not belong to the same kerberos realm and when shortname is used
Issue
- smbclient from samba-3.0.33 cannot connect to windows server using kerberos when SPNEGO doesn't include Server Principal in the security blob
- Unable to connect to Windows share using smbclient from RHEL5.5 using kerberos
- smbclient/samba versions 3.0.33.x cannot connect to windows servers when the SPNEGO answer do not include the server principal in the security blob (MS11-005 security fix).
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6
- samba-3.0.33
- samba3x-3.5.4
- Microsoft Windows 2003 Server SP2
