The purpose of this preview release to make numerous bugs fixes for Samba 2.2.7a available to the Samba community. Please report testing results of this release to the Samba mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Changes since 2.2.8pre1 - ----------------------- 1) smbumount lazy patch from Mandrake 2) Check for too many processes *before* the fork. 3) make sure we don't run over the end of 'name' in unix_convert() 4) set umask to 0 before creating socket directory. 5) Fix the LARGE_SMB_OFF_T problems and allow smbd to do the right thing in interactive mode when a log file dir is also specified. 6) Fix delete on close semantics to match W2K. 7) Correctly return access denied on share mode deny when we can't open the file. 8) Always use safe_strcpy not pstrcpy for malloc()'d strings 9) Fixes for HP-UX only having limited POSIX lock range 10) Added uid/gid caching code. Reduces load on winbindd. 11) Removed extra copy of server name in the printername field (it was mangling the the name to be \\server\\\server\printer 12) Fix dumb perror used without errno being set. 13) Do retries correctly if the connection to the DC has failed. 14) Correctly check for inet_addr fail. 15) Ensure we use getgrnam() unless BROKEN_GETGRNAM is defined. 16) Fix for missing if (setting_acls) on default perms. 17) Fix to cache the sidtype 18) fix printer settings on Solaris (big-endian) print servers. ASCII -> UNICODE conversion bug. 19) Small fix check correct error return. 20) Ensure space_avail is unsigned. 21) patch to check for a valid [f]chmod_acl function pointer before calling it. Fixes seg fault in audit VFS module 22) When checking is_locked() new WRITE locks conflict with existing READ locks even if the context is the same. 23) Merge off-by-one crash fixes from HEAD 24) Move off-by-one buggy malloc()/safe_strcpy() combination to strdup() instead. 25) Merge from HEAD. Use pstrcpy not safe_strcpy. 26) Fix to allow blocking lock notification to be done rapidly (no wait for smb -> smb lock release). Adds new PENDING_LOCK type to lockdb (does not interfere with existing locks). 27) Doxygen cleanups for code documentation 28) limit the unix domain sockets used by winbindd by adding a "last_access" field to winbindd connections, and will close the oldest idle connection once the number of open connections goes over WINBINDD_MAX_SIMULTANEOUS_CLIENTS (defined in local.h as 200 currently) 29) Fix a couple of string handling errors in smbd/dir.c that would cause smbd to crash -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://quantumlab.net/pine_privacy_guard/ iD8DBQE+X+BiIR7qMdg1EfYRAjC+AKC/BwKXyt/JcVGUfzsH2wJmhlWGbwCfdiXG jR8iAXP1vZUcuE7tbaEICpU= =e1uE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
