-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This is a preview release of the Samba 3.0.8 code base. It is *not* intended for production use but rather is provided to allow people to test the bug fixes and new features in the upcoming 3.0.8 release. Use at your own risk.
Common bugs fixed in 3.0.8pre2 include: o Several bugs in the spoolss printing code. o Inconsistencies in the username map functionality when configured on domain member servers. o Various compile warnings and errors on various platforms. New features included in the 3.0.8pre1 release are: o New experimental idmap backend for assigning uids/gids directly based on the user/group RID when acting as a member of single domain without any trusts. o Additional printer migration support for XP/2003 platforms. Change in Username Map - ---------------------- Previous Samba releases would only support reading the fully qualified username (e.g. DOMAIN\user) from the username map when performing a kerberos login from a client. However, when looking up a map entry for a user authenticated by NTLM[SSP], only the login name would be used for matches. This resulted in inconsistent behavior sometimes even on the same server. Samba 3.0.8pre2 obeys the following rules when applying the username map functionality: * When performing local authentication, the username map is applied to the login name before attempting to authenticate the connection. * When relying upon a external domain controller for validating authentication requests, smbd will apply the username map to the fully qualified username (i.e. DOMAIN\user) only after the user has been successfully authenticated. - ---------------------------- The source code can be downloaded from : http://download.samba.org/samba/ftp/pre The uncompressed tarball and patch file have been signed using GnuPG.
