WHATS NEW IN 2.0.0 ALPHA SERIES
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
This is an alpha release of Samba. Releases in this series are done
|
|
automatically every week based on the latest code in the Samba CVS
|
|
tree.
|
|
|
|
THIS RELEASE IS NOT PRODUCTION QUALITY. IT MAY NOT EVEN COMPILE.
|
|
|
|
If you use this release then be aware of the following:
|
|
|
|
- only use these releases if you can't use CVS for some
|
|
reason. Getting the code via anonymous cvs is preferable. See
|
|
http://samba.anu.edu.au/cvs.html
|
|
|
|
- don't use this code if you are not an experienced programmer. We are
|
|
doing these releases so that users who cannot access the CVS tree
|
|
directly for some reason can report/fix bugs. If you find bugs in
|
|
this release and you want to help fix them then please join the
|
|
samba-technical mailing list (see http://samba.anu.edu.au/listproc/)
|
|
and discuss it there.
|
|
|
|
- the docs are not uptodate. If you find documentation errors then
|
|
please send patches to fix them. Out of date documentation is one of
|
|
the main things holding back a Samba 2.0 release.
|

|
Major changes in Samba 2.0
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
There have been several major changes in Samba for version 2.0. Here
|
|
are some of them:
|
|
|
|
1). autoconf
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
You now configure Samba by running "./configure" then make. See
|
|
docs/UNIX_INSTALL.txt
|
|
|
|
2) domain control
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Samba can now (mostly) act as a NT primary domain controller and
|
|
domain logon server. Unfortunately this is largely undocumented at the
|
|
moment, but to get you started you want smb.conf entries like this:
|
|
|
|
domain controller = Yes
|
|
domain logons = Yes
|
|
preferred master = Yes
|
|
domain master = Yes
|
|
|
|
[netlogon]
|
|
path = /data/netlogon
|
|
read only = No
|
|
|
|
further documentation on this still needs to be written :)
|
|
|
|
3) option defaults changed
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
several parameters have changed their default values. The most
|
|
important of these is that the default security mode is now user level
|
|
security rather than share level security.
|
|
|
|
4) web based GUI configuration
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Samba now comes with SWAT, a web based GUI config system. See
|
|
swat/README for how to set it up.
|
|
|
|
|
|
There have been lots of other changes as well. We'll add them here as
|
|
we remember them :)
