3.0.26a

  • Memory leaks in Winbind's IDMap manager.

3.0.25 {a/b/c}

  • 3.0.25c
    • File sharing with Widows 9x clients.
    • Winbind running out of file descriptors due to stalled child processes.
    • MS-DFS inter-operability issues.
  • 3.0.25b
    • Offline caching of files with Windows XP/Vista clients.
    • Improper cleanup of expired or invalid byte range locks on files.
    • Crashes is idmap_ldap and idmap_rid.

Changes to 'net idmap dump'

      • A change in command line syntax and behavior was introduced in the 3.0.25 release series where the command $ net idmap dump /.../path/to/idmap.tdb would overwrite the tdb instead of dumping its contents to standard output as was the case in releases prior to Samba 3.0.25. The changed has been reverted in 3.0.25b and the semantics from 3.0.24 and earlier releases have been restored.
  • 3.0.25a
    • Missing supplementary Unix group membership when using "force group".
    • Premature expiration of domain user passwords when using a Samba domain controller.
    • Failure to open the Windows object picker against a server configured to use "security = domain".
    • Authentication failures when using security = server.

Changes to MS-DFS Root Share Behavior

      • Please be aware that the initial value for the "msdfs root" share parameter was changed in the 3.0.25 release series and that this option is now disabled by default. Windows clients frequently require a reboot in order to clear any cached information about MS-DFS root shares on a server and you may experience failures accessing file services on Samba 3.0.25 servers until the client reboot is performed. Alternately, you may explicitly re-enable the parameter in smb.conf. Please refer to the smb.conf(5) man page for more details.
  • 3.0.25
    • Significant improvements in the winbind off-line logon support.
    • Support for secure DDNS updates as part of the 'net ads join' process.
    • Rewritten IdMap interface which allows for TTL based caching and per domain backends.
    • New plug-in interface for the "winbind nss info" parameter.
    • New file change notify subsystem which is able to make use of inotify on Linux.
    • Support for passing Windows security descriptors to a VFS plug-in allowing for multiple Unix ACL implements to running side by side on the Same server.
    • Improved compatibility with Windows Vista clients including improved read performance with Linux servers.
    • Man pages for IdMap and VFS plug-ins.
