* It turns out -lreadline also needs -ltermcap to link under ELF. I had
to patch the GNU configure script to make it correctly detect readline.
Are we going to have to do this to all the packages which depend upon
readline?
New/Changed parameters in 2.0.6
-------------------------------
There are 6 new parameters in the smb.conf file.
wins hook
This parameter allows an external program to be called
on all changes to a Samba WINS database, allowing dynamic
DNS updates.
debug hires timestamp
debug pid
debug uid
The above 3 parameters provide greater debug information.
preexec close
rootpreexec close
The above 2 parameters control the action taken on the
success or failure of a 'preexec' script.
There is also one removed parameter.
mangle locks
The addition of these new parameters and the removal of the old
is described in more detail in the smb.conf man page,
When using "security=domain" the "password server"
parameter can now be set to the string "*', which will
cause Samba to search for Domain controllers in the
same way that Windows NT does. See the smb.conf man
page for more details.
The "interfaces" parameter in smb.conf can now be dynamically
detected on startup and can also now take an interface name
such as eth0. See the smb.conf man page for the details
on the new features of the "interfaces" parameter.
nmbd has been enhanced to use this feature.
The syntax for the Linux-specific smbmount command has been changed
and is now compatible with the standard mount command. See the modified
smbmount man page for details.
Support for the UNIX CUPS printer standard has been added.
See www.cups.org for details. Thanks to the folks at Easy Software
Products for this code. Set the printcap name to "cups" to
enable this. See the smb.conf man page for details.
Changes in 2.0.6
-----------------
1). 64-bit locking removed from Linux autoconf build. This fixes
several Linux specific locking issues.
2). Crash bug fix in smbclient recursive processing. Fix from
E. Jay Berkenbilt (ejb@ql.org).
3). "history" command added to smbclient if readline available.
4). smbtar - updates files and directory message on restore.
5). smbmnt - 'u', 'g', 'r', 'f', 'd' options added by Andrew. See
man page for details.
6). smbmount updated to be useable by autofs on Linux. See the
samba/examples/autofs/README file for details.
7). Bug fixed where TCP_NODELAY was not being used by default in smbd.
8). Many oplock fixes. Samba now waits 30 seconds, not 45. Also
smbd no longer aborts on client break failure, but logs a message
and continues. This is what NT does. This should fix many "oplock
break" message problems people have been having.
9). New code from Andrew to dynamically detect interfaces. nmbd will
now attempt to dynamically detect interface changes and register names
as an interface goes "up".
10). Win95 ioctl for print jobs added by Matt.
11). Mapping for ISO8859-1 extended for codepage 437 and 850.
12). Code Page 737 -> ISO-8859-7 (Greek-Hellenic) mapping added.
13). Character strings now correctly converted from UNIX character set
format to DOS codepage when read from smb.conf or external passwd or
group files. Samba is now much more careful about what format external
strings should be converted to/from.
14). snprintf crash fix for IRIX 6.2 and below.
15). Increased timestamp debug fixes (adds milliseconds and uid/pid if
requested).
16). Optimisation for wildcard exact match requests.
17). Win95 wildcard semantics fix - unused code removed.
18). 'mangle locks' parameter removed. This now done automatically.
19). setXid() routines re-written to provide asserts and also to fix
AIX versions prior to 4.1.x.
20). MSG_WAITALL optimisation removed due to bugs in FreeBSD.
21). Length fix when writing UNICODE string.
22). oplock processing added to libsmb client code.
23). Added more client error message strings.
24). Fix bug with connecting to encrypted server when non-encrypted
password given.
25). In security=domain, password server extended to search for DC's
if parameter = '*'.
26). "root did not create samaphore" bug fixed.
27). random generator initialized early to prevent icons not showing
up in Win9x.
28). Logging fix after SIGHUP.
29). WINS hook external call added when nmbd is a WINS server.
30). Support for CUPS printer protocol added by Michael Sweet.
31). Support for NIS+ backend password database updates.
32). Handle dashes in print job id's. Fix from Dom.Mitchell@palmerharvey.co.uk
33). Race condition in UNIX password sync on some platforms fixed by Matt.
34). Dirptr leak from Win98 fixed.
35). Logic bug in handling of level II oplocks fixed.
36). smbd crash bug fix when opening directories.
37). Paranoia oplock fix from Charles Hoch (hoch@exemplary.com)
38). Fix Win2k problem where DCE/RPC is done on SMBwrite as well as SMBwriteX.
39). Fix Win95 redirector alignment bug that caused oplock break failures.
40). Preexec close code added.
41). Extra sanity checks in testparm code.
42). oplock tests added to smbtorture.
43). Tell SWAT user if logged in as root or not.
44). Solaris packaging fixes donated by VERITAS.
While here clean up the package somewhat:
- Remove confusion about where the SAMBA_PRIVATE directory is.
- Don't gratitously create yet another world writeable directory.
- Don't use $PREFIX as the WEB_ROOT, use the htdocs directory from the
Apache pkg instead.
- Enable use of netgroups, checking of disk quotas and the password
changing feature.
- Use /var/run/samba for runtime status files.
- Always install the example startup file.
- Misc. minor modification for better maintainability.
This version unites the samba and the uncommitted samba-des packages,
as it includes a "castrated" DES implementation that is only usable as
a hash function.
Some very minor typos in the description file corrected by myself.
collection, thanks to Ty Sarna (tsarna@endicor.com), and addresses the
first part of PR pkg/4746.
The Samba software suite is a collection of programs that implements
the SMB protocol for UNIX systems.
