Samba updated to version 3.2.11-0.30. After the updade the server will log error messages every time I browse the server (\\SERVER).
.. smbd[1154]: [2009/04/23 12:21:09, 0] rpc_server/srv_pipe.c:api_rpcTNP(2330)
.. smbd[1154]: api_rpcTNP: srvsvc: SRVSVC_NETSHAREENUMALL failed.
On a workstation I get a notification:
\\SERVER is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. ...
The procedure number is out range.
Instead, short cut and direct path (\\SERVER\PATH) work correctly.
On further review there were more new messages in log files:
[2009/04/23 12:21:09, 1] librpc/ndr/ndr.c:ndr_push_error(493)
ndr_push_error(5): Bad character conversion
This gave a hint. Something might have changed, while scandinavian characters on a 'comment ='-line in smb.conf caused the error.

Messenger forgets user and password
I installed Windows Live Messenger version 14.0.8050.1202. Thereafter, the user name and password were always missing at the start, even though the selections Remember me and Remember my password were checked.
The problem was resolved by fiddling with the registry. For some reason, within the subkey HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ User Shell Folders the registry entry AppData had a value %APPDATA%. The user details began to be preserved again, as soon as I returned the value %USERPROFILE%\Application Data.
