1) Fix for smbclient reporting negative file sizes on dir command
and negative statistics being reported when using put or get
on large files.
2) Fix bug in determination of allocation size
3) Fix 64bit size problems which prevented copying of files larger
than 2 GBytes.
4) Fix for xcopy /s problem with old DOS clients not sending correct
attributes on subsequent SMBsearch calls.
5) Fix bug in call to standard_sub_advanced giving a 0 length. This
fixes the string overflow in string_sub errors.
6) Correctly handle querygroup rpcclient command
7) fix broken incremental tar in smbtar command
A security hole has been discovered in versions 2.2.2 through 2.2.6
of Samba that could potentially allow an attacker to gain root access
on the target machine. The word "potentially" is used because there
is no known exploit of this bug, and the Samba Team has not been able to
craft one ourselves. However, the seriousness of the problem warrants
this immediate 2.2.7 release.
1) ensure we send the notify message in the same way it is expected
to be received by srv_spoolss_receive_message().
2) attribute matching on truncate only matters when opening truncate
with current SYSTEM|HIDDEN -> NONE. It's fine to truncate on open
with current NONE -> SYSTEM | HIDDEN.
3) Fix bug in rpcclient's deldriver command
4) Don't set global_machine_password_needs_changing if
lp_machine_password_timeout() is set to zero
5) don't parse the BUFFER5 if the buffer length is zero
6) fix core dump if pdbedit is run as non-root or smbpasswd file does
not exist
7) Ensure can_delete() returns correct error code
8) correctly return NT_STATUS_DELETE_PENDING from open code
9) fix bug that assumed dos_unistr2 length was in ucs2 units, not bytes
10) check the long_archi name is not null when deleting a printer driver.
fixes core dump in smbd when using rpcclient's deldriver
11) fix fd leak with kernel change notify on Linux 2.4 kernels
12) must add one to the extra_data size to transfer the 0 string
terminator. This was causing "wbinfo --sequence" to access past the
end of malloced memory
13) fix for large systems allowing more than 65536 files open in
NTcreate&X
14) Fix bug in %U expansion
* Fixes for MS-RPC printing issues affecting Windows 2000 clients
* New support for smb.conf generation in SWAT
* Inclusion of several performance enhancements
* Fixes for several file locking bugs and returned status codes
and merge their patch collections. These two packages are built from the
same source tree, and updates to the main distfile should be shared by
both packages.
version 2.2.4nb1 is that there are the usual minor bug fixes, plus some
important ones:
* fix printing with Win2K/XP clients
* fixes related to using LDAP for the SAM
* fixes related to changing passwords
Pkgsrc changes:
* Fetch the .tar.bz2 file -- it's smaller.
* Use smb.conf.default as the sample config file and get rid of
the homegrown files/smb.conf.sample. smb.conf.default is more
informative and is a better resource.
* Remove irrelevant examples.
* Move convert_smbpasswd script to the examples/samba/misc
directory. It's pretty much outlived it's usefulness at this
point of the Samba release cycle.

Known Bugs
----------
* Under certain conditions when serving the MS Access 2000
executable file and an Access database from a Samba share,
it is possible to experience data corruption. This pug does
does occur when the database is served from a Samba file share
but the Access *.exe is stored on the client's local file system.
The exact reason for this bug is unknown at this time.
Change from 2.2.3
-----------------
This is a minor bugfix release for the 2.2.3 release. The 2.2.3
release had a problem that was visible to Windows 2000 Explorer
users in that copying files into a share that already existed
failed with "Access Denied" rather than asking the user if an
overwrite was required. This was due to an incorrect error mapping
between the UNIX EEXIST error code and the NT status error.
As Windows Explorer is a highly visible end user application a quick
bugfix release was required, hence 2.2.3a.
Compilation on HPUX versions earlier than HPUX 11 has also been
corrected.
The cvs.log file is no longer included with this release, as it adds
13Mb to the size of the release, and is easily available on the Web.
is not defined, as that is the only time when the smbpasswd file is
consulted. Also don't create a the smbpasswd file from /etc/passwd, as
that generates a lot of bad users, e.g. root, daemon, operator, etc.
Instead, just create an empty smbpasswd file and rely on the admin to add
approved users to the smbpasswd file using "smbpasswd -a".
(2) Add "piddir" as /var/run and "pidfile dir" and "pidfile directory"
statement for smb.conf.
(3) Some fix for password synchronization but it isn't tested much and
it is almost useless under "encrypt passwords = yes" environment.
Changes for INSTALL and part of Makefile are provided by
"Johnny C. Lam" <jlam@netbsd.org> and (2) and (3) are got
from FreeBSD ports.
Bump revision to 1; samba-2.2.3nb1 now.
According to Samba 2.2.3 release announcement:
Much work has been done on the LDAP backend code. The configure
option --with-ldapsam is now considered to be stable. The schema
used has changed, see the file examples/LDAP/samba.schema for the
new schema.
New documentation explaining how to set up a Samba only PDC/BDC
setup has been added in the files Samba-LDAP-HOWTO and Samba-BDC-HOWTO
in the documentation tree.
Changes in 2.2.3

48). smbw code tidyups.
49). Added tdb open log code. Several tdb fixes.
as they might not be there depending on whether INSTALL_RCD_SCRIPTS is set
in /etc/mk.conf when the package is built. Instead, assume that the other
rc.d scripts are in the same place as this "meta" script and locate them
using "dirname $0". Problem noted by Stoned Elipot <seb@netbsd.org> in
private email.
print/lprng, we make a new variable USE_CUPS that is used by packages to
determine whether depend on print/cups and to compile in support for CUPS.
USE_CUPS may be either "YES" or undefined. Deprecate SAMBA_WITH_CUPS as
its purpose is superseded by USE_CUPS. Convert net/samba and net/samba20
to use USE_CUPS and make x11/kdelibs2 respect USE_CUPS.
1.69, but some were remained.
Fix the problem that some data files are installed into root directory,
noted from Lennart Augustsson <lennart@augustsson.net> private mail.
This value may be customized in various ways:
PKG_SYSCONFBASE is the main config directory under which all package
configuration files are to be found.
PKG_SYSCONFSUBDIR is the subdirectory of PKG_SYSCONFBASE under which the
configuration files for a particular package may be found.
PKG_SYSCONFDIR.${PKGBASE} overrides the value of ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR} for a
particular package.
Users will typically want to set PKG_SYSCONFBASE to /etc, or accept the
default location of ${PREFIX}/etc.
This obsoletes the use of CONFDIR, which was active for only 6 days, so no
need to have a workaround to still accept old CONFDIR settings.
provided by Luke Mewburn <lukem@wasabisystems.com> with modifications by
me to allow running on older NetBSD systems (so any errors in the script
are mine alone).
scripts need for the nmbd and smbd programs to always start in daemom-mode,
which is why the "-D" flag was set via command_args in the scripts
themselves. Any additional options should be passed in through the
{nmbd,smbd}_flags settings in /etc/rc.conf. Add comments to reflect this
in the scripts.
The error reported by the PR author is most likely due to either installing
these scripts with ".sh" extensions, which is not how these are installed
into the ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d and is definitely wrong, or in directly
sourcing these files from an rc.local script, which is again, definitely
wrong.
WHATS NEW IN Samba 2.2.1a: 11th July 2001
==========================================
This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version that all
production Samba servers should be running for all current bug-fixes.
This is a minor bugfix release for 2.2.1, *NOT* security related.
1). 2.2.1 had a bug where using smbpasswd -m to add a Windows NT or
Windows2000 machine into a Samba hosted PDC would fail due to our
stricter user name checking. We were disallowing user names
containing '$', 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.
