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 ]Jeremy Allison :· BUG 6529: Offline files conflict with Vista and Office 2003.· BUG 6726: SIVAL should have been an SVAL.· BUG 6769: Fix symlink unlink.· BUG 6774: smbd crashes if \"aio write behind\" is set.· BUG 6776: Fix core dump caused by running overlapping Byte Lock test.· BUG 6781: Fix renaming subfolders in Explorer view.· BUG 6793: Fix Winbind crash with \"INTERNAL ERROR: Signal 6\".· BUG 6796: Deleting an event context on shutdown can cause smbd to crash.· BUG 6828: Fix infinite timeout when byte lock held outside of Samba.· BUG 6829: Fix displaying of multibyte characters in smbclient.G??nther Deschner :· BUG 6711: Fix trust relationships to windows 2008 (2008 r2).· BUG 6815: Fix Windows 2008 R2 SPNEGO negTokenTarg parsing failure.Olaf Flebbe :· BUG 6772: Allow outstanding_aio_calls to be decremented.· BUG 6804: Fix hpux compiler issue.· BUG 6805: Correctly handle aio_error() and errno.Bj?¶rn Jacke :· BUG 6704: Fix syntax error in avahi configure test.· BUG 6728: BSD needs sys/sysctl.h included to build properly.· BUG 6824: Fix avahi activation.· QNX doesn\'t know uint - replace with uint_t.Andrew Klosterman :· BUG 6690: Fix wrong error check in profile.Marc Aurele La France :· BUG 6707: Fix an occasional segfault in config file parsing.Jeff Layton :· BUG 6810: Add support for finding alternate credcaches to cifs.upcall.Volker Lendecke :· BUG 6606: Fix file corruption using smbclient with NT4 server.· BUG 6703: Allow smbstatus as non-root.· BUG 6731: Fix reading beyond the end of a named stream in xattr_streams.· BUG 6765: Add a \"hidden\" parameter \"share:fake_fscaps\".· BUG 6793: Fix segfault in winbindd_pam_auth.· BUG 6797: Fix a memleak in libwbclient.· BUG 6807: Fix a segfault in \"net rpc trustdom list\" for long domain names.· Fix an uninitialized variable.· Only ever handle one event after a select call.Derrell Lipman :· BUG 6532: Fix domain enumeration if master browser has space in name.Stefan Metzmacher :· BUG 6711: Fix trust relationships to windows 2008 (2008 r2).Buchan Milne :· BUG 6791: Fix linking order in cifs.upcall.Lars M??ller :· BUG 6710: Adjust regex to match variable names including underscores.· Conditional install of the cifs.upcall man page.Shirish Pargaonkar :· BUG 4675: mount.cifs: Do not attempt to update /etc/mtab if it is a symbolic link.Karolin Seeger :· Fix warning occuring when building the manpages.Simo Sorce :· BUG 6764: Fix timeval calculation.Bo Yang :· BUG 6735: Don\'t overwrite password in pam_winbind, subsequent pam modules might use the old password and new password.· BUG 6811: Fix reference to freed memory in pam_winbind.· BUG 6826: Don\'t fail authentication when one or some group of require-membership-of is invalid.· BUG 6840: Fix crash in pam_winbind.
