Dear Sharity Users,
we have released Sharity 3.3 today. Compared to 3.2, this release offers
better support for user home directories on SMB shares, improved
handling
of Distributed File System (DFS) redirects and more reliable
auto-mounting of network resources.
Upgrades are free for all owners of a Sharity 3.x license. For downloads
and more information please see
http://www.obdev.at/sharity/
Changes since 3.3 beta 4:
- Fixed two bugs which could cause a daemon crash.
- Improved Global Catalog lookup for Windows Domain integration.
- New configuration option for less reliable but faster write
operations when the server uses file systems such as FAT32.
Bugs fixed since 3.2
- Changing the modification date of a file did not work with some
servers. Fixed.
- Fixed various bugs in handling of Access Control Lists (ACLs).
- Various improvements in browsing network resources in
/CIFS/entire_network.
- Kerberos module detects "Global Catalog" server more reliably now.
- Fixed possible deadlock when unmounting stale mounts.
- Fixed a bug which could cause incomplete directory listings.
- An error during attribute fetch was not reported to the user. Wrong
attributes were returned instead. Fixed.
- Fixed Security-ID (SID) to group name translation in sharity acl
get
command. Some groups were not found in Active Directory.
- Fixed bugs in emulated hard links: one memory leak and write
protection status of newly created file.
- Fixed race condition in Kerberos authentication. This bug could
cause a hang at login.
- On HP-UX 11, Sharity mounts vanished some time after an NFS
mount or
unmount was performed. Fixed.
- Fixed several bugs which could cause a daemon crash.
New Features since 3.2:
- New implementation of automatic mounts in /CIFS. This new
implementation is easier for the kernel to handle.
- New implementation of Distributed File System (DFS): DFS
redirections
are now implemented as symbolic links into the automounting browser
at /CIFS.
- Inheritance flags in Access Control Lists (ACLs) can be edited now.
- Various enhancements of the command line interface: More control
over
mounts and logins for root, new option to log out from all servers
and shares with one command.
- New "x-homes:" file system makes Windows domain integration much
easier.
- New files in /usr/local/sharity3/var/ for local configurations.
- Experimental feature: Mapping of Windows ACLs to Unix
attributes. See
manual section "Unix Home Directories on SMB Shares".
- New configuration file: var/idmap.cfg for SID to Unix UID/GID
translation.
- New configuration option "Report Write Errors". It allows a
trade-off
between data integrity and write performance.
Regards,
Christian Starkjohann.
