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 ]· BUG 6557: Fix vfs_full_audit.· BUG 6876: Fix duplicate initializer in the rmdir module.· BUG 7063: Fix core dump on Ubuntu 8.04 64 bit.· BUG 7067: Fix failing of smbd to respond to a read or a write caused by Linux asynchronous IO (aio).· BUG 7069: Fix \'smbget\' error status.· BUG 7072: Fix unlocking of accounts from ldap.· BUG 7079 Cliconnect gets realm wrong with trusted domains.· BUG 7081: Fix vfs_expand_msdfs.· BUG 7084: Fix storing of create time on directories in an EA in new create time code.· BUG 7104: \"wide links\" and \"unix extensions\" are incompatible.· BUG 7118: Fix nmbd problems with socket address.· BUG 7122: Fix reading of large browselist.· BUG 7154: \"mangling method = hash\" can crash storing a name containing a \'.\'.· BUG 7155: Valgrind Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s) error when \"mangling method = hash\"..· BUG 6888: Fix printing with 64 bit clients.· BUG 7130: Fix listing of printjobs in Windows 7.· BUG 7148: Fix get_acl_blob in the acl_tdb VFS module.· BUG 7103: Fix build issue on Tru64.· BUG 7116: Change ldap filter to what really was intended.· Fix some wrong newlines in de translation strings.· BUG 6868: Fix crash bug in \'cifs.upcall\'.· BUG 7085: Fix an early release of the global lock that can cause data corruption in libtdb.· BUG 7139: Owner of file not available with Kerberos.· BUG 6888: Fix printing with 64 bit clients.· BUG 7098: Fix results of \'smbclient -L\' with a large browse list.· BUG 7116: Add pdb_ldap performance fixes.· BUG 7118: Add new \"nmbd bind explicit broadcast\" parameter.· BUG 7119: Support large browselist.· BUG 7140: Fix IPv4/IPv6 problems.· BUG 7071: Fix build of \'smbfilter\'.· BUG 7047: Add cross option to samba_cv_linux_getgrouplist_ok.· BUG 7102: Normalize \"Changing password for\" msg IDs and STRs.· BUG 7076: Fix build of vfs_scannedonly on AIX.· BUG 7106: Fix malformed require_membership_of_sid.
