As the Google SOC concluded. We need to evaluate whether our SOC projects were successfull or not. Some of them got through like Oleview, Trash implementation, riched20 improvisation. I really dont know about the clamav integration, shell integration (there were some patches regarding this I think), improve mswscock.dll and ntlm using gensec.
I sure hope NTLM Signing & Sealing went through. Not using GENSEC, admittedly, but that's because of licensing issues. If anyone wants this bad enough to keep updating a GPL-licensensed wine fork, I'm happy to pass on the patches that implement that. Still, patches to get the same features working via ntlm_auth are in the wine tree. This means that with your vanilla ntlm_auth tool, you will be able to do NTLM signing in dummy mode. (This is by no means secure or anything...)
Once Samba releases the next version that is not restricted to bugfixes only, you will be able to do NTLMv1 signing and sealing. NTLMv1 sealing in dummy mode fails for now, I'm currently talking to Eric Glass to get some clue as to why that happens. (Eric is the one who maintains http://davenport.sourceforge.net/ntlm.html, if there's anybody outside Microsoft who really knows NTLM, it's him.)
Wineconf is about to start, I think we need to re-think what might be good additions and how should we proceed for 1.0 release.
Personally I think we need to get the LSA working. Windows does a lot of this "single sign-on" stuff, and it'd be really nice to have in Wine. I hope to talk about this with some of you people on Wineconf. This might be an area to cooperate with the Samba people again, but let's first see what we need.
Please feel to comment on this.
This comment is a bit opinionated, but bear with me on that one. ;)
