This is the version that all production Samba servers should be running for all current bug-fixes. +New/Changed parameters in 2.0.3 +------------------------------- + +There are 2 new parameters and one enhanced parameter in +the smb.conf file. + +The new parameters are : + +nt acl support +-------------- + +This is a global parameter that defaults to False (at the +present time). If set to yes it allows UNIX file permissions +to be reported via the Windows NT "cacls.exe" program. As some +of the RPC calls that allow cacls to report the name of the +owner of a file are not yet implemented in 2.0.3 this parameter +is set to "no" by default. The default state of this parameter +will change to "yes" in a future release. + +min passwd length +----------------- + +This is an integer global parameter that tells Samba the minimum +permissible UNIX password length (in characters) when Samba is +set to synchronise the Windows and UNIX passwords. By default +this is set to 5, and was previously hardcoded into Samba 2.0.x. + +The modified parameter is : + +announce as +----------- + +Prior to 2.0.3 this parameter had only one setting for Windows +NT compatibility, "NT", which was the default. This is still +the default and this still tells Samba to announce itself in +browse lists as an NT server, however this parameter may now +be set to "NT workstation" which causes Samba to announce itself +as an NT workstation instead of a server. + +All of these new parameters and changes are documented in the +smb.conf man pages and html pages. + +Bugfixes added since 2.0.2 +-------------------------- + +1). --with-ssl configure now include ssl include directory. Fix +from Richard Sharpe. +2). Patch for configure for glibc2.1 support (large files etc.). +3). Several bugfixes for smbclient tar mode from Bob Boehmer +(boehmer@worldnet.att.net) to fix smbclient aborting problems +when restoring tar files. +4). Some automount fixes for smbmount. +5). Attempt to fix the AIX 4.1.x/3.x problems where smbd runs as +root. As no-one has given us root access to such a server this +cannot be tested fully, but should work. +6). Crash bug fix in debug code where *real* uid rather than +*effective* uid was being checked before attempting to rotate +log files. This fix should help a *lot* of people who were +reporting smbd aborting in the middle of a copy operation. +7). SIGALRM bugfix to ensure infinate file locks time out. +8). New code to implement NT ACL reporting for cacls.exe program. +9). UDP lookback socket rebind fix for Solaris. +10). Ensure all UNICODE strings are correctly in little-endian +format. +11). smbpasswd file locking fix. +12). Fixes for strncpy problems with glibc2.1. +13). Ensure smbd correctly reports major and minor version number +and server type when queried via NT rpc calls. +14). Bugfix for short mangled names not being pulled off the +mangled stack correctly. +15). Fix for mapping of rwx bits being incorrectly overwritten +when doing ATTRIB.EXE +16). Fix for returning multiple PDU packets in NT rpc code. Should +allow multiple shares to be returned correctly). +17). Improved mapping of NT open access requests into UNIX open +modes. +18). Fix for copying files from an NTFS volume that contain +multiple data forks. Added 'magic' error code NT needs. +19). Fixed crash bug when primary NT authentication server +is down, rolls over to secondaries correctly now. +20). Fixed timeout processing to be timer based. Now will +always occur even if smbd is under load. +21). Fixed signed/unsigned problem in quotas code. + +Bugfixes added since 2.0.1 +-------------------------- + Note that due to a critical signal handling bug in 2.0.1, this release has been removed and replaced immediately with 2.0.2. The Samba Team would like to apologise for any problem this may have caused. -Bugfixes added since 2.0.1 --------------------------- - 1). Fixed smbd looping on SIGCLD problem. This was caused by a missing break statement in a critical piece of code. |
