Samba is an freeware open source tool that provides seamless file and print services to SMB/CIFS clients.Samba can be run on a platform other than Microsoft Windows, for example: IBM System 390, OpenVMS, UNIX, Linux, and other operating systems.Samba uses the TCP/IP protocol that is installed on the host server. When correctly configured, it allows that host to interact with a Microsoft Windows client or server as if it is a Windows file and print server.What\'s New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]· net conf: Save share name as given, not as lower case only.· Prevent creation of registry keys containing the \'/\' character.· BUG 6089: Fix samr_OpenDomain access checks.· BUG 6254: Fix IPv6 PUT/GET errors to an SMB server (3.3) with \"msdfs root\" set to \"yes\".· BUG 6279: Fix Winbind crash.· Allow pdbedit to change a user rid/sid.· When doing a cli_ulogoff don\'t invalidate the cnum, invalidate the vuid.· Don\'t access a freed structure when logging off and re-using a vuid.· BUG 5329: Add \"net rpc service delete/create\".· BUG 6238: Make sure wbcLogoffUserParams are properly initialized before freed.· BUG 6263: Fix domain logins for WinXP clients pre SP3.· BUG 6286: Call init function for builtin idmap modules before probing for them as shared modules.· Try to to fix password_expired flag handling.· Make sure to grey out change fields in the netdomjoin-gui when not running as root.· Don\'t look up local user for remote changes, even when root.· BUG 6243: Fix usrmgr.exe creating a user.· Use procid_str in debug messages for better cluster-debuggability.· Use cluster-aware procid_is_me instead of comparing pids.· Fix smbd crash for close_on_completion.· Fix a memleak in an unlikely error path in change_notify_create().· Do not use the file system GET_REAL_FILENAME for mangled names.· Fix a crash bug if we timeout in net rpc trustdom list.· Add \'--request-timeout\' option to net.· In net_conf_import, start a transaction when importing a single share.· Fix writing of roaming profiles with \"profile acls\" set to \"yes\".
