Yes, 2.2.6 is the latest stable release.


So there will never be a stable samba again? ;)

:-)

great, at least one realized that this was a joke ;)

We hope that this will be our
last update. All samba-team resources are now focussing on getting 3.0.0
readt for release. Right now 3.0.0 is still changing significantly and we
would not recommend it's use in a production environment.


We've got six systems running it with no visible issues.



If it is not broken then why fix it?


the last version I had problems with was 2.2.3a (on a SuSE system) and
2.2.4 (there were problems with LDAP, all solved since 2.2.5)


I'm currently testing CVS from Sunday's pull of 3.0...is this the
direction I should be heading?



Yes. But do your home work. Test, test, test, and give us feedback.


I'm currently working on a PDC for about 300 LDAP-based users, I guess
with LDAP there is no problem when migrating to 3.0? Probably I'll run
the actual CVS parallel....

Depending on how you also use LDAP, there are some good reasons to move
to 3.0. In HEAD, pdb_ldap now has connection caching, and does not
modify unchanged attributes (these benefits provided by metze, who has
the significant advantage of using samba on a large and complex ldap
infrastructure).
I'm not sure if this is helpful when replicating the complete Directory to the Samba-Server, but at least it sounds good.

We hope to move this stuff into the next 3.0 alpha.

Samba 3.0 also adds 'ldap passwd sync', to help keep the LDAP and SMB
passwords in sync.

I guess that's really helpful for us.

Do the computer accounts still need to be full posix users? It would simplify things a bit if not.
