This release is *not* intended for +production servers. Use at your own risk. + +There have been several bug fixes since the 3.0.4 release that +we feel are important to make available to the Samba community +for wider testings. See the "Changes" section for details on +exact updates. + +Common bugs fixed in Samba 3.0.4 include: + + o Schannel failure in winbindd. + o Numerous memory leaks. + o Incompatibilities between the 'write list' and 'force user' + smb.conf options. + +ATTENTION! NEW BEHAVIOR! +------------------------- + +Beginning with Samba 3.0.5pre1, clients supporting the UNIX +extensions to the CIFS protocol can create symlinks to +absolute paths which will be **followed** by the server. This +functionality has been requested in order to correctly support +certain applications when the user's home directory is mounted +using some type of CIFS client (e.g. the cifsvfs in the Linux +2.6 kernel). + +If this behavior is not acceptable for your production environment +you can set 'wide links = no' in the specific share declaration in +the server's smb.conf. Be aware that disabling wide link support +out of a share in Samba may impact the server's performance due +to the fact that smbd will now have to check each path additional +times before traversing it. + + + +###################################################################### +Changes +####### + +Changes since 3.0.4 +-------------------- + +smb.conf changes +---------------- + + Parameter Name Action + -------------- ------ + printcap cache time New + + +commits +------- +o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org> + * Correct path parsing bug that broke DeletePrinterDriverEx(). + * Fix bugs in check_path_syntax() caught by asserts. + * Internal change - rearrange internal global case setting + variables to a per connection basis. + * BUG 1345: Fix premature optimization in unix_convert(). + * Allow clients to truncate a locked file. + * BUG 1319: Always check to see if a user as write access + to a share, even when 'force user' is set. + * Fix specific case of open that doesn't cause oplock break, + or share mode check. + * Correct sid type is WKN_GROUP, not alias.
