FYI... I've tagged prerelease-2-2-5pre1 in CVS and posted a tarball at ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/pre/
RedHat 7.3 RPM and SRPM can be found at ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/jerry/RPMS/redhat-7.3/ This is a non-production release intended only for testing. Please report issues, bugs, success on this mailing list (since you are already subscribed). Hopefully this will be the only prerelease before the final 2.2.5 version. Bang on it. Test as much as you can on as many platforms as you can: domain controlling, printing, file serving, VFS, LDAP, Samba PDC/BDC combination, etc... Here's a quick ChangeLog (more complete one to be done for the final release...i'm still getting my system together). I've probably left somethings out. If there is any doubt, please ask or check the CVS logs. Much appreciated. cheers, jerry ChangeLog --------- * fixed marshalling error in spoolss_io_devmode() which cauised ACT! 2000 on 2k/xp clients not to print * fixed alignment bug in spoolss system which caused Win2k/XP clients not to be able to * enforce the valid/invalid users parameter on printer shares when coming in from NT/2k/xp clients * fixed bug that prevent MS Access binary and database from being served on a Samba share concurrently * added -S switch to smbpasswd for setting the domain SID in secrets.tdb by querying a remote DC * Fixed LDAP unitialized time values in SAM_ACCOUNT when using LDAP directory and non-existent attributes * cleaned up import_smbpasswd.pl to properly import and smbpasswd file a set of sambaAccount entries * Added extension to VFS recycle bin * Several signal handlers issues fix relating to change notification and oplocks on Linux 2.4 kernels * Cleaned up many compile issues on Solaris both using GCC and Sun Workshop Compiler. * more work on supporting various Linux quota systems * will now idle a connection with an open pipe, but only if there are no open handles on it (print server scalability issue with NT/2k/xp clients) * .... Known Bugs ---------- * user password changes with using --with-ldapsam appear to be broken. Still looking into this one. Don't know if it affects smbpasswd installations. * various docs out of date (smb.conf(5) and several HOWTO's)
