Look in the file docs/BROWSING.txt +as it has been largely re-written to explain how to do this. + +Thanks to Silicon Graphics for allowing us to test the new +code on their corporate network. + +Improved share mode handling +---------------------------- + +The handling of share modes has been completely rewritten. +Samba can now run agressive PC Benchmarks (Ziff-Davis +NetBench) correctly with many hundreds of concurrent PC's. +The confidence level on share mode handling in Samba +is now much higher than it was previously. PC database +packages should be much safer when run against a +Samba share. Thanks to Silicon Graphics for testing +this code for us. + +If at all possible compile Samba to use the new share +mode handling with shared memory (set the flags +FAST_SHARE_MODES in the Makefile). This will be *much* faster +than old file-based share modes. FAST_SHARE_MODES have +been turned on by default on the following platforms in +the Makefile : + + Linux + Solaris + BSDI + IRIX 5.x.x + FreeBSD + +Updated smb.conf documentation +------------------------------ + +All options are now documented we believe. + +Many small bugfixes and improvements +------------------------------------ +From around the 'net around the world. Many +thanks to everyone who contributed. + +Remember - this is new code so there may be +bugs or problems. + +As always, all bugs are our responsibility - +please report them to : + +samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au + + +Regards, + + The Samba Team. + |
