This is the first release candidate of the Samba 3.0.3 code base and is provided for testing only. A release candidate (RC) means that we are close to the final, stable release and in provided for Quality Assurance (QA) purposes. This release is *not* intended for production servers. Use at your own risk.
There have been several bug fixes since the 3.0.2a release that we feel are important to make available to the Samba community for wider testings. See the "Changes" section for details on exact updates.
Common bugs fixed in this RC include:
o Delays in winbindd startup caused by unnecessary
connections to trusted domain controllers.

o Support for local nested groups via winbindd.
o Specifying options to be passed directly to
the CUPS libraries.The source code can be downloaded from:
