This is a preview release of the Samba 3.0.20 code base and
is provided for testing only. This release is *not* intended
for production servers. There has been a substantial amount
of development since the 3.0.14a stable release (and since the
-3.015pre2 release as well). We would like to ask the Samba
+3.0.20pre1 release as well). We would like to ask the Samba
community for help in testing these changes as we work towards

+Support for Microsoft Print Migrator
+====================================
+
+Samba 3.0.20pre2 includes full support for migrating printers from
+Windows servers or other Samba servers via the Microsoft Print
+Migrator tool. Restoring printers requires a working "add printer
+command" defined in smb.conf. Current; support also allows
+administrators to create a master list of printer drivers which
+can be restored in bulk on new (or existing) Samba installations.
+
+
+Asynchronous IO Support
+=======================
+
+Experimental support for async IO has been added to smbd for
+certain platforms. To enable this new feature, Samba must be
+compiled to include the --with-aio-support configure option.
+In addition, the "aio read size" and "aio write size" to non-zero
+values. See the smb,conf(5) man page for more details on these
+settings.

+ with a working connection.
+ * BUG 2826: Ensure the correct return value for symlink and
+ readlink in the VFS.
+ * Merge handling of ASN.1 objects bigger than 64k from Samba 4.

+ * Transition smbd to use NTcreate&X for internal file opens.
+
+
+o David.Collier-Brown <David.Collier-Brown@sun.com>
+ * Added panic action script for Solaris.
+
+
+o Gerald (Jerry) Carter <jerry@samba.org>
+ * Cleanup of winreg API functions.
+ * Add server stubs for RegSetKeySec() and RegGetKeySec().

+ requests.
+ * Add write support to registry tdb and printing backends.
+ * Use tdb lookups rather than hard-coding certain registry
+ value names and data.
+ * BUG 2808: don't try to install man pages if they are not
+ present.
+ * Fix initialized variables reported by valgrind.
+ * Normalize key lookups in ntprinters.tdb.
+ * Mark "enumports command" as deprecated.
+ * Add missing class file for python share command example.

+ * More "net rpc share migrate" fixes.
+ * Merge PADL's idmap_ad plugin (taken from the latest
+ xad_oss_plugins-tarball).
+ * Add support for "idmap backend = ad" when "security = ads".
+ * Add home directory and shell support from AD via "winbindd nss
+ support = sfu" and "security = ads".
+ * Provide better feedback when we fail share-manipulation
+ due to missing scripts.
+ * Correctly substitute "\" as default winbind separator in
+ generate_parm_table.py example share command script.
+
+
+o Björn Jacke <bj@sernet.de>
+ * Added ioctl constants reported by msbackup.exe and filemon.exe.
+
+
+o Kevin Jamieson <bugzilla@kevinjamieson.com>

+
+
+o Jim McDonough <jmcd@us.ibm.com>
+ * Added subcommands to "net rpc vampire" (mostly done by Don
+ Watson <dwatson@us.ibm.com>) to allow data to be put into an
+ ldif file instead of actually writing to the passdb.
+
+
+o Lars Mueller <lmuelle@suse.de>
+ * Fix argv parsing in "net rpc".
+ * Add support to create position independent executable (PIE)
+ code if the compiler supports it.
+
+
+o Marcel Müller <mueller@maazl.de>

-Samba 3.0.20pre1 supports backing up print drivers and queues
-using the Microsoft Print Migrator (printmig.exe) tool. Currently
-only support for restoring drivers onto a Samba server has been
-implemented. The final 3.0.20 release will include for

-restore support also allows administrators to create a master list
-of drivers which can be installed on a new Samba host in a single
