WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.0 beta3
July 16 2003
WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.0 RC1
August 15 2003
==============================
This is the third beta release of Samba 3.0.0. This is a
non-production release intended for testing purposes. Use
at your own risk.
This is the first release candidate snapshot of Samba 3.0.0. A release
candidate implies that the code is very close to a final release, remember
that this is still a non-production release intended for testing purposes.
Use at your own risk.
The purpose of this beta release is to get wider testing of the major
new pieces of code in the current Samba 3.0 development tree. We have
officially ceased development on the 2.2.x release of Samba and are
concentrating on Samba 3.0. To reduce the time before the final
Samba 3.0 release we need as many people as possible to start testing
these beta releases, and to provide high quality feedback on what
needs fixing.
Samba 3.0 is feature complete. However there is still some final
work to be done on certain pieces of functionality. Please refer to
the section on "Known Issues" for more details.

Please refer to the CVS log for the SAMBA_3_0 branch for complete
details
1) Various memory leak fixes.
2) Provide full support SMB signing (server and client)
3) Check for broken getgrouplist() in glibc.
4) Don't get stuck in an infinite loop listing directories
recursively if the server returns an empty directory name
(bug 222).
5) Idle LDAP connections after 150 seconds.
6) Patched make uninstallmodules (bug 236).
7) Fix bug that caused smbd to return incomplete directory listings
when UNIX files contained MS wildcards characters.
8) Quiet default debug messages in command line tools.
9) Fixes to avoid panics on invalid multi-byte strings.
10) Fix error messages when creating a new smbpasswd file (bug 198).
11) Implemented better detection routines in autoconf scripts for
locating ads support on the host OS.
12) Fix bug that caused libraries in /usr/local/lib to be ignored
(bug 174).
13) Ensure winbindd_ads uses the correct realm or domain name when
connecting to trusted DC.
14) Ensure a correct prototype is created for snprintf() (bug 187)
15) Stop files being created on read-only shares in some circumstances.
16) Fix wbinfo -p (bug 251)
17) Support schannel on any tcp/ip connection if necessary
18) Correct bug in user_in_list() so that it works with winbind groups
again.
19) Ensure the schannel bind credentials default to the domain
of the destination host.
20) Default password expiration time in account_pol.tdb to never
expire. Remove any existing account_pol.tdb file to reset
the new default policy (bug 184).
21) Add buttons to SWAT to change the view of smb.conf (bug 212)
22) Fix incorrect checks that determine whether or not the 'add user
script' has been set.
23) More cleanup for internal character set conversions.
24) Fixes for multi-byte strings in stat cache code.
25) Ensure that the net command honors the 'workgroup' parameter
in smb.conf when not overridden from the command line.
26) Add gss-spnego support to the ntlm_auth tool.
27) Add vfs_default_quota VFS module.
28) Added server support for NT quota interfaces.
29) Prevent Krb5 replay attacks by adding a replay_cache.
30) Fix problems with winbindd and transitive trusts in AD domains.
31) Added -S to client tools for setting SMB signing options on the
command line.
32) Fix bug causing the 'passwd change program' to be called as the
connected user and not root.
33) Fixed data corruption bug in byte-range locking (e.g. affected MS Excel).
34) Support winbindd on FreeBSD is possible.
35) Look at the only first OID in the security blob sent in the session
setup request to determine the token type.
36) Only push locks onto a blocking lock queue if the posix lock failed with
EACCES or EAGAIN (this means another lock conflicts). Else return an
error and don't queue the request.
37) Fix command line argument processing for smbtar.
38) Correct issue that caused smbd to return generic unix_user.<uid>
for lookupsid().
39) Default to algorithmic mapping when generating a rid for a group
mapping.
40) Expand %g and %G in logon script, profile path, etc... during
a domain logon (bug 208).
41) Make sure smbclient client obeys '-s <config>'
42) Added win2k3 shadow copy operations to VFS interface.
43) Allow connections to samba domain member as SERVER\user (don't

54) Make sure to initialize the sambaNextUserRid and sambaNextGroupRid
attributes when using 'idmap backend = ldap' (bug 280).
55) Make sure that UNIX users shared between a Samba PDC and member
samba server are seen as domain users and not local users on the
domain member.
56) Fix Query FS Info level 2.
57) Allow enumeration of users and groups by win9x "file server" (bug
