Now Licensed under the GNU GPLv3
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
The Samba Team has adopted the Version 3 of the GNU General Public
|
|
License for the 3.2 and later releases. The GPLv3 is the updated
|
|
version of the GPLv2 license under which Samba is currently
|

|
|
licenses and to make it easier to adopt internationally, and is an
|
|
improved version of the license to better suit the needs of Free
|
|

|
|
|
|
The original announcement is available on-line at
|
|
|
|
http://news.samba.org/announcements/samba_gplv3/
|
|
|
|
|
|
New Security Defaults for Authentication
|
|
========================================
|
|
|
|
Support for LanMan passwords is now disabled in both client and server
|
|
applications. Additionally, clear text authentication requests are
|
|
disabled by default in client utilities such as smbclient and all
|
|
libsmbclient based applications. This will affect connection both
|
|
to and from hosts running DOS, Windows 9x/ME, and OS/2. Please refer
|
|
to the "Changes" section for details on the exact parameters that were
|
|
updated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Registry Configuration Backend
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
Samba is now able to use a registry based configuration backed to
|
|
supplement smb.conf setting. This feature may be enabled by setting
|
|
"include = registry" and "registry shares = yes" in the [global]
|
|
section of smb.conf and may be managed using the "net conf" command.
|
|
|
|
More information may be obtained from the smb.conf(5) and net(8) man
|
|
pages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Removed Features
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Both the Python bindings and the libmsrpc shared library have been
|
|
removed from the tree due to lack of an official maintainer.
