WHATS NEW IN Samba 2.2.1a: 11th July 2001
==========================================
This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version that all
production Samba servers should be running for all current bug-fixes.
This is a minor bugfix release for 2.2.1, *NOT* security related.
1). 2.2.1 had a bug where using smbpasswd -m to add a Windows NT or
Windows2000 machine into a Samba hosted PDC would fail due to our
stricter user name checking. We were disallowing user names
containing '$', which is needed when using smbpasswd to add a
machine into a domain. Automatically adding machines (using the
native Windows tools) into a Samba domain worked correctly.
2.2.1a fixes this single problem.
New/Changed parameters in 2.2.1
-------------------------------
Added parameters.
-----------------
obey pam restrictions
When Samba is configured to use PAM, turns on or off Samba checking
the PAM account restrictions. Defaults to off.
pam password change
When Samba is configured to use PAM, turns on or off Samba passing
the password changes to PAM. Defaults to off.
large readwrite
New option to allow new Windows 2000 large file (64k) streaming
read/write options. Needs a 64 bit underlying operating system
(for Linux use kernel 2.4 with glibc 2.2 or above). Can improve performance
by 10% with Windows 2000 clients. Defaults to off. Not as tested
as some other Samba code paths.
hide unreadable
Prevents clients from seeing the existance of files that cannot
be read. Off by default.
enhanced browsing
Turn on/off the enhanced Samba browing functionality (*1B names).
Default is "on". Can prevent eternal machines in workgroups when
WINS servers are not synchronised.
Removed parameters.
-------------------
domain groups
domain admin users
domain guest users
Changes in 2.2.1
-----------------
1). "find" command removed for smbclient. Internal code now used.
2). smbspool updates to retry connections from Michael Sweet.
3). Fix for mapping 8859-15 characters to UNICODE.
4). Changed "security=server" to try with invalid username to prevent
account lockouts.
5). Fixes to allow Windows 2000 SP2 clients to join a Samba PDC.
6). Support for Windows 9x Nexus tools to allow security changes from Win9x.
7). Two locking fixes added. Samba 2.2.1 now passes the Clarion network
lock tester tool for distributed databases.
8). Preliminary support added for Windows 2000 large file read/write SMBs.
9). Changed random number generator in Samba to prevent guess attacks.
10). Fixes for tdb corruption in connections.tdb and file locking brlock.tdb.
smbd's clean the tdb files on startup and shutdown.
11). Fixes for default ACLs on Solaris.
12). Tidyup of password entry caching code.
13). Correct shutdowns added for send fails. Helps tdb cleanup code.
14). Prevent invalid '/' characters in workgroup names.
15). Removed more static arrays in SAMR code.
16). Client code is now UNICODE on the wire.
17). Fix 2 second timstamp resolution everywhere if dos timestamp set to yes.
18). All tdb opens now going through logging function.
19). Add pam password changing and pam restrictions code.
20). Printer driver management improvements (delete driver).
21). Fix difference between NULL security descriptors and empty
security descriptors.
22). Fix SID returns for server roles.
23). Allow Windows 2000 mmc to view and set Samba share security descriptors.
24). Allow smbcontrol to forcibly disconnect a share.
25). tdb fixes for HPUX, OpenBSD and other OS's that don't have a coherent
mmap/file read/write cache.
26). Fix race condition in returning create disposition for file create/open.
27). Fix NT rewriting of security descriptors to their canonical form for
ACLs.
28). Fix for Samba running on top of Linux VFAT ftruncate bug.
29). Swat fixes for being run with xinetd that doesn't set the umask.
30). Fix for slow writes with Win9x Explorer clients. Emulates Microsoft
TCP stack early ack specification error.
31). Changed lock & persistant tdb directory to /var/cache/samba by default on
RedHat and Mandrake as they clear the /var/lock/samba directory on reboot.
don't use python, set this to NO_PACKAGE to prevent building a binary
package. For now I'll let someone else look at merging this directly
into the python pkg (where it should be).

- The "sun-jre" and "sun-jdk" packages can now be directly selected by
setting "PKG_JVM" to "sun-jdk". "JAVA_HOME" is set to
"${LOCALBASE}/java/jre/bin" in this case which fixes PR pkg/11901
by myself.
- Only set "CLASSPATH" to "${JAVA_HOME}/lib/classes.zip" if that file
really exists.
