WHATS NEW IN 1.9.17alpha3 - June 6th 1997.
|
|
==========================================
|
|
|
|
Improved browsing support.
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
Samba now should support propagation of browse lists
|
|
across subnets correctly. Look in the file docs/BROWSING.txt
|
|
as it has been largely re-written to explain how to do this.
|
|
|
|
*IMPORTANT* All Samba servers acting as local/domain master
|
|
browsers must be running 1.9.17alpha3, as should the nmbd
|
|
set up as the WINS server.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Silicon Graphics for allowing us to test the new
|
|
code on their corporate network.
|
|
|
|
Improved share mode handling
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The handling of share modes has been completely rewritten.
|
|
Samba can now run agressive PC Benchmarks (Ziff-Davis
|
|
NetBench) correctly with many hundreds of concurrent PC's.
|
|
The confidence level on share mode handling in Samba
|
|
is now much higher than it was previously. PC database
|
|
packages should be much safer when run against a
|
|
Samba share. Thanks to Silicon Graphics for testing
|
|
this code for us.
|
|
|
|
If at all possible compile Samba to use the new share
|
|
mode handling with shared memory (set the flags
|
|
FAST_SHARE_MODES in the Makefile). This will be *much* faster
|
|
than old file-based share modes. FAST_SHARE_MODES have
|
|
been turned on by default on the following platforms in
|
|
the Makefile :
|
|
|
|
Linux
|
|
Solaris
|
|
BSDI
|
|
IRIX 5.x.x
|
|
FreeBSD
|
|
|
|
Updated smb.conf documentation
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
All options are now documented we believe.
|
|
|
|
Many small bugfixes and improvements
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
From around the 'net around the world. Many
|
|
thanks to everyone who contributed.
|
|
|
|
Remaining known issues with cross-subnet browsing.
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
When nmbd is acting as a WINS server it doesn't handle
|
|
de-registering of members of a WORKGROUP<1e> name correctly.
|
|
The first machine to de-register will remove the name. This
|
|
should be fixed in a later release when group names are
|
|
handled correctly in the WINS code.
|
|
|
|
Propagation of servers between local master browsers and
|
|
the domain master browser doesn't take into account the
|
|
fact that only names seen by the local master browser on
|
|
the local subnet should be propagated. This causes machines
|
|
that have stopped serving to be propagated between browse
|
|
masters. This issue will be fixed in the smbd code in a
|
|
later release.
|
|
|
|
Remember - this is new code so there may be
|
|
bugs or problems.
