complete list of changes can be found at http://www.samba.org/. New Documentation in 2.0.7 -------------------------- O'Reilly and Associates have donated their book "Using Samba" to the Samba community to be updated in a collaberative way along with the Samba software. Starting with this release the html of "Using Samba" will be distributed with the Samba software as the online documentation for Samba. Bug fixes for the book are encouraged as is new material. Please help us make this documentation the best it can be for Samba ! Windows 2000 Issues ------------------- This version of Samba has been tested with Windows 2000 and the five known incompatibilities with Windows 2000 have been fixed. See the "Changes in 2.0.7" list below for details. New/Changed parameters in 2.0.7 ------------------------------- There are 5 new parameters in the smb.conf file. utmp utmp dir utmp hostname utmp consolidate wtmp directory These parameters are only available if the "--with-utmp" option was selected at configure time. The yes/no option "utmp" specifies whether utmp records should be recorded on user logon/logoff. It defaults to "no". The "utmp dir" and "wtmp dir" are string parameters specifying pathnames to the directories containing the utmp/wtmp file databases. See the smb.conf man page for more details. inherit permissions This boolean parameter causes newly created files and directories to inherit their initial permissions from their parent directory. This can be very useful in propagating such things as the set-group bit in directory heirarchies. See the smb.conf man page for more details. write cache size This integer parameter specifies (in bytes) the size of a user level per-file write cache that smbd will create for an oplocked file. This can improve performance significantly for writing files by causing writes to be done in large chunk sizes. If this parameter is set (it defaults to zero which means no write cache) to the stripe size of a raid volume then it will cause writes to be much more efficient. Up to 10 write caches can be active simultaneously per smbd (allocated for the first 10 oplocked file opens). All normal warnings about the dangers of user level caching of data apply. See the smb.conf man page for more details. source environment This pathname parameter causes Samba to read a list of environment variables from a named file on startup. This can be useful in setting up Samba in a clustered environment. See the smb.conf man page for more details. Ability to delete users added ----------------------------- SWAT and smbpasswd can now delete users from the Samba smbpasswd file. See the man page for smbpasswd for details. Roving profile behavior finalized --------------------------------- The change in behavior with roving profiles (using the "logon home" parameter instead of the "logon path" parameter) introduced in 2.0.6 has been discovered to be consistant with the way Windows NT behaves, and has been left as the default action. Please see the additional notes in the "logon home" parameter description in the smb.conf man page for more details. |
