On my Chakra install this error is fixed by installing the Samba (Server) native Linux package (which pulls in the ntlm_auth binary). Same on my Kubuntu install. This native Linux library is needed, by WINE, to allow the Steam client to correctly authenticate your user and password.

Post back if you still have a problem with connecting the Steam client!

Hmmm. Really must add this in on the Steam AppDB page - it's still coming up quite often...  [Rolling Eyes]
