err:ntlm:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated. Make sure that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path. err:ntlm:SECUR32_initNTLMSP Usually, you can find it in the winbind package of your distribution.
See if installing winbind helps.
Tried, nothing. But I don't see how winbind can make a difference since joining servers with nonHTML MOTD is fine.
