490 * Add call to dh_installinit for winbind rc.x symlinks (closes: #151860).
491 * Clean up per-package documentation lists, to reduce clutter
493 * Make sure we don't ship pdbedit's man page since we are still using
494 smbpasswd passwords. (closes: #152208)
495 * move libnss_wins.so to libnss_wins.so.2, where glibc expects to find
496 it (closes: #148586).
497 * reorder postinst, so that installing samba-common from scratch loads
498 the debconf answers properly (closes: #151985).

510 samba (2.2.4+2.2.5pre1-1) experimental; urgency=low
512 * Getting ready for Samba 2.2.5.
513 * Remove patches/parse_spoolss.patch, now included upstream.
514 * Fixed thinko WRT POSIX ACL support, which we "half-enabled" in
515 2.2.4-1. We don't use POSIX ACL support ourselves, so we'd
516 appreciate reports from those using this feature so we can
518 * Fix the filename-matching algorithm used for smbtar's 'exclude'
519 functionality. (closes: #131571)
520 * Look for secrets.tdb in /var/lib/samba, and handle in the postinst.
521 This is not really a config file, because users don't edit it.
523 * Doxygen fix for libsmbclient.h, thanks to Tommi Komulainen
524 <Tommi.Komulainen@iki.fi> for the patch. (closes: #144847)

530 * New upstream release (closes: #144713)
531 * Building with POSIX ACL support (closes: #137819)
532 * Include samples, exclude INSTALL from libpam-smbpass (closes: #145055)
533 * Compile with --with-automount, for NIS homedir support (closes: #123396)
534 * Add a proper 'flags' field to the mount entry we write to /etc/mtab;
535 fixes a display bug with mount (closes: #140397)
536 * Added logic to /etc/init.d/samba so a help message is printed out
537 when Samba is running from inetd _and_ we are not booting, i.e. the
538 user called the init script manually. Thanks to Francesco
539 Potorti <pot@gnu.org> for the suggestion on how to implement this.
540 (Closes: #139807, #140204)
541 * samba.postinst: added logic so we don't call /etc/init.d/samba if
542 we are running from inetd (this prevents the stupid help message
543 to be printed during package upgrades if we are running from inetd.)
545 * /etc/init.d/samba: delete stale PID files after nmbd and smbd are
546 stopped. This prevents start-stop-daemon from printing an ugly
547 error message when called from '/etc/init.d/samba stop'. I prefer
548 this than running start-stop-daemon with --oknodo because
549 start-stop-daemon might print other important error messages that with
550 --oknodo it would otherwise not print. (Closes: #102187, #109301)

555 samba (2.2.3a-7) unstable; urgency=medium
557 * More README.debian updates.
558 * Neutralize the smb.conf 'lock dir' directive, which doesn't mean
559 what the FHS says it should, and causes us no end of grief.
561 * LPRng-handling patch so that jobs printed to recent versions of
562 LPRng show up properly as 'done' instead of 'paused' in the Windows
563 print queue. Thanks to Jaroslav Serdula <serdula_jaroslav@vse.sk>
564 for this patch. (Closes: #139458)
565 * Applied patch from Urban Widmark <urban@teststation.com>
566 (smbfs upstream maintainer) to add a '-n' option to smbmount
567 that does the same as mount's '-n'. (Closes: #139590)
568 * Minor tweak to unpatch-source so we unpatch sources in the
569 reverse order we patched them.
570 * Don't depend on grep in samba.prerm to determine if Samba was
571 running before the upgrade starts.
572 * Tweak the wording of debconf templates.
573 * Incorporate debconf translations for French, Spanish and Portuguese;
574 thanks to Carlos Valdivia Yagüe <valyag@hotpop.com> (es),
575 Andre Luis Lopes <andrelop@ig.com.br> (pt_BR), and Philippe
576 Batailler and Denis Barbier <barbier@debian.org> (fr).
577 (closes: #142657, #142659, #141551, #141699, #141682)
578 * Fixed symlinks in the swat package so the point to /usr/share/doc/
579 instead of /usr/doc/. Added note to the description of the
580 swat packages that says that samba-doc must be installed for
581 the on-line documentation to work. Thanks to Torne Wuff
582 <torne@wolfpuppy.org.uk>. (Closes: #95437)
583 * 'dh_installinit -n' gives us no initscript handling -- we need to
584 handle all starting and stopping of daemons ourselves, which wasn't
585 happening in the {pre,post}rm scripts.
586 * Vary the priority of the debconf question "Do you want to generate
587 /etc/samba/smbpassd?" depending on whether the file already exists.
588 File exists -> priority 'medium', file does not exist -> priority
589 'low'. Changed priorities of all other questions from 'high' to 'medium'.

598 call 'update-inetd --remove' on package purge.
599 * Bring our shipped smb.conf closer in line with the upstream
600 defaults: don't twiddle the send/recv buffer sizes, since the Linux
601 kernel already provides a much better default setting

639 * merge in debconf support:
640 - Moved all smb.conf-related questions to samba-common (smb.conf
641 is part of the samba-common package, not the samba package.)
642 - smb.conf is not a samba-common conffile anymore since it is
643 being managed by debconf. It is ABSOLUTELY necessary to make
644 sure /etc/samba/smb.conf _NEVER_ gets overwritten by changes
645 made via debconf. In other words, any changes made by the user
646 should be honored by the debconf interface.
647 - samba.postinst now moves old log files from /var/log/ to
648 /var/log/samba/. There's a Debconf note that informs the user
649 the log files are stored now in a new location.
651 + Make samba depend on debconf.
652 - New file debian/samba.templates.
653 - New file debian/samba.config.
654 - Re-worked debian/samba.postinst.
655 + Got rid of all /etc/samba/debian_config sillyness.
656 - remove /usr/sbin/sambaconfig; "dpkg-reconfigure samba" replaces
658 - Removed debian/samba.prerm.
659 - Cleaned up /etc/init.d/samba.
660 + Added infrastructure for debconf.
661 + Got rid of all /etc/samba/debian_config sillyness.
662 + Got rid of /etc/samba/smbpasswd conversion stuff for
663 compatibility with versions of Samba < 2.0.0final-2.
664 (closes: #127959, #34408, #113594)

676 Potato packages brought this to my attention. dh_installlogrotate
677 takes care of creating the directory for us, that's why we didn't
679 * Removed code that converts /etc/samba/smbpasswd from an ancient
680 format to the new format of Samba 2.0.0 and later.
681 Closes: #134375 - samba: postinst failed due to missing
682 /usr/bin/convert_smbpasswd.
683 * Re-organized FHS migration code in samba.postinst. Make sure we
684 don't fail when we move files that don't exist.
685 Closes: #133813 - samba: Install failed.
686 * Adding docs. to the libpam-smbpass package.
687 * Remove man pages for findsmb because we are not providing this
689 Closes: #134181 - findsmb referenced, but not included.
690 * Removed replace.patch because it is now present upstream.
691 * Added patch from Jerry Carter to fix a problem when saving
692 document preferences for printing from NT clients.
693 * The real winbindd daemon is a forked process so we can't use
694 --make-pidfile when calling start-stop-daemon. Fixed
695 /etc/init.d/winbind to work around the issue. Thanks to

994 to implement them. Here's Steve's original changelog:
996 * Fix up the build system to avoid needing to run configure
997 as root to answer questions we already know the answers to.
998 * In the process, make surprising progress towards being able to
999 cross-compile the samba packages.

1020 * Steve Langasek <vorlon@netexpress.net> has been hard at work in
1021 the last few days looking at the long list of open bugs filed
1022 against the Samba packages. I don't know how to thank him. It's been
1023 a pleasure working with Steve, and all the fixes, patches, etc. in
1024 this release come from him. The bug list is greatly reduced thanks
1026 * Steve's additions/modifications/patches/etc. are:
1027 - New package that (libpam-smbpass) provides pam_smbpass. Before, this
1028 was provided in another package but now the sources are part of
1029 the Samba sources so we can start providing it from here.
1030 Closes: #107043 - pam_smbpass now present in Samba source,
1031 should be built from there
1032 - Patch to source/smbd/service.c that allows admins to call
1033 /bin/umount from the root postexec of a Samba share.
1034 Closes: #40561 - samba pre/postexec commands do not work.
1035 - Clear TMPDIR before starting smbd in /etc/init.d/samba.
1036 Closes: #51295 - Problems with Samba and TMPDIR.
1037 - Correction to documentation of "guest only".
1038 Closes #38282 - "guest only" share still requires a password.
1039 * Applied patch from Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es> to convert
1040 /usr/sbin/mksmbpasswd from a shell script into a real awk script.
1041 Sorry it took so long, Santiago; I hadn't realized you even
1042 provided a patch :-)
1043 Closes: #77891 - mksmbpasswd could be a real awk script.
1044 * Updated description of the smbfs and smbclient packages. Also have
1045 each package recommend the other.
1046 Closes: #108650: Should suggest or recommend smbfs.

1349 samba (2.0.6-5) frozen unstable; urgency=low
1351 * Oppsss! samba-common doesn't depend on libcupsys1 so the binaries
1352 in this package are broken unless libcupsys1 is installed.
1353 samba-common has a "grave" bug because of this. Instead of adding
1354 libcupsys1 to the Depends: list of each package in debian/control
1355 I investigated why dh_shlibs was not picking the dependency
1356 automatically. It turns out that it's probably a bug in libcupsys1
1357 because the format of its shlibs file is not correct. I fixed that
1358 file (/var/lib/dpkg/info/libcupsys1.shlibs) and now dependencies are
1359 picked correctly. I'll talk to the libcupsys1 maintainer.
1361 I think the addition of CUPS support to Samba is a big change that
1362 should not go into Frozen. So, I decided to back up the addition
1363 of CUPS support I did in 2.0.6-4 to minimize problems. I'll add
1364 CUPS support again when I start working on Samba for Woody.

1372 I think it is because in samba's prerm script I was calling
1373 start-stop-daemon with the --pidfile switch and in old versions of
1374 Samba the nmbd and smbd daemons did not store their PIDs in a file in
1375 /var/samba/. I changed debian/samba.prerm so the existence of the
1376 PID files is checked before calling "start-stop-daemon --pidfile ..."
1377 If the PID files do not exist then start-stop-daemon is called
1378 without the --pidfile parameter.
1379 (Closes: #58058 - upgrade from slink went badly)
1380 * Fixed typo in description of swat package in debian/control.
1381 * Installed libcupsys1-dev so the configure script picks up CUPS
1382 and Samba is compiled with CUPS support. Also added libcupsys1 to
1383 the Depends: list of package samba in debian/control.
1384 (Closes: #59038 - samba not compiled with cups support)
1385 * Added a small paragraph to debian/README.debian warning about possible
1386 problems with the WINS code in Samba 2.0.6.

1392 * Applied patch posted by Jeremy Allison to the samba mailing list
1393 that should take care of the internal errors reported in bug #52698
1394 (release-critical). Wichert: please test as I never could reproduce
1396 (Closes: #52698 - samba gets interbal errors)
1397 * Moved samba-docs to the 'docs' section.
1398 (Closes: #51077 - samba-doc: wrong section)
1399 * Added reload capability to /etc/init.d/samba (only for smbd because
1400 nmbd does not support reloading after receiving a signal).
1401 (Closes: #50954 - patch to add reload support to /etc/init.d/samba)
1402 * Corrected "passwd chat" parameter in sample /etc/samba/smb.conf so
1403 Unix password syncronization works with the passwd program currently
1404 in Potato. Thanks to Augustin Luton <aluton@hybrigenics.fr> for
1405 the correct chat script.
1406 * Stole source/lib/util_sec.c from the CVS tree of what will become
1407 Samba 2.0.7 or whatever so we can use the same binaries under
1408 both 2.0.x and 2.2.x kernels.

1421 * samba-common now depends on libpam-modules (not on libpam-pwdb, which
1422 I have been told is obsolete). I modified /etc/pam.d/samba accordingly
1423 to reflect the change.
1424 (Closes: Bug#50722: pam pwdb dependence?).
1425 * The old /etc/pam.d/samba file which had references to pam_pwdb caused
1426 smbd to die with a signal 11. The new /etc/pam.d/samba file fixes
1428 (Closes: #50876, #50838, #50698)
1429 * Compiled with syslog support (use at your own risk: syslog support
1430 is still experimental in Samba). I added the parameters "syslog = 0"
1431 and "syslog only = no" to the sample smb.conf to avoid pestering
1432 users that do not want Samba to log through syslog.
1433 (Closes: Bug#50703 - syslog only option doesn't work)
1434 * Removed the stupid code in the smbmount wrapper script that tries
1435 to load the smbfs module if smbfs is not listed in /proc/filesystems.
1436 (Closes: Bug#50759 - Non-root can't run smbmount if SMBFS is compiled
1437 as a module in the kernel)

1446 * Samba 2.0.6 has been released. This is the first try of the Debian
1447 Samba packages. I know for sure that smbd won't work properly on
1448 2.0.x kernels because the patch that Wichert sent me does not apply
1449 to the new source/lib/util_sec.c in Samba 2.0.6. That file was
1450 completely re-written by Tridge.
1451 * Updated README.Debian.
1452 * A new client utility called smbspool appeared in Samba 2.0.6. I added
1453 this utility to the smbclient package, although I haven't tried it yet.
1454 * Added the symlink /sbin/mount.smbfs that points to /usr/bin/smbmount.
1455 This is to be able to type "mouont -t smbfs ...". This symlink goes
1456 in the smbfs package, of course.
1457 * This new release should close the following bugs (some of these
1458 are fixed for sure in this new upstream release, some others I could
1459 not reproduce but I believe they are fixed if they were real bugs.

1475 * Samba has been compiled with PAM support (closes: Bug#39512 - samba PAM
1476 module). To succesfully add PAM support, I created /etc/pam.d/samba and
1477 added this file as a conffile for the samba-common package. I also made
1478 samba-common depend on libpam-pwdb.
1479 * Added simple man pages for the wrapper scripts smbmount and smbmount.
1480 (Closes: Bug#44705 - Missing smbmount man page)
1481 * Installed libreadlineg2-dev in my system so smbclient now has a
1482 "history" command and libreadline support :-)
1483 * This time I did add a check to the smbmount wrapper script to see if
1484 the kernel has support for smbfs, as suggested by Jeroen Schaap
1485 <J.Schaap@physiology.medfac.leidenuniv.nl>. I mentioned in the changelog
1486 for samba-2.0.5a-3 that I did this but I forgot at the end.

1490 samba (2.0.5a-5) unstable; urgency=low
1492 * I am sorry to report that the smbwrapper package is gone for the
1493 moment. The reason for this is twofold: first of all, smbwrapper
1494 is completely broken in Samba-2.0.5a (it compiles but it doesn't
1495 run) and in the upcoming Samba-2.0.6 it doesn't even compile. Second,
1496 when I asked Andrew Tridgell (father of Samba) about the state of
1497 smbwrapper he told me that Ulrich Drepper (head of the glibc project)
1498 broke on purpose the glibc stuff in which smbwrapper is based.
1499 Consequently, Tridge recommended me to compile Samba without
1500 support for smbwrapper. When, I have no idea. Sorry folks. Here is
1501 the original message I received from Andrew:
1503 > 1) 2.0.5a's smbwrapper doesn't work under glibc2.1, and pre-2.0.6's
1504 > smbwrapper doesn't even compile under glibc2.1.
1506 yep, Ulrich deliberately broke it. It won't get fixed till glibc
1507 allows the sorts of games it plays to work again. I suggest you turn
1508 it off in your build scripts until that gets sorted out.
1510 * Swat's file are now in /usr/share/samba/ instead of
1511 /usr/lib/samba/ (bug #49011).

1519 that prevents Samba to work on 2.0.x kernels if it was compiled
1520 in a system running a 2.2.x kernel. This closes #40645 (build uses
1521 setresuid which doesn't work under 2.0.34 (does apparently under
1523 * Fixed the entry that swat's postinst script adds to /etc/inetd.conf
1524 so it is '#<off># swat\t\tstream\ttcp\tnowait.400 ...' instead of
1525 '#<off>#swat\t\tstream\ttcp\tnowait.400 ...'. The old way caused
1526 'update-inetd --enable swat' to leave the entry for swat disabled.
1527 Thanks to Dave Burchell <burchell@inetnebr.com> for finding out
1528 this problem. This closes #48762 (swat uses non-standard syntax to
1529 comment out inetd.conf entry).
1530 * /usr/sbin/swat does not think anymore that the smbd daemon lives
1531 in /usr/local/samba/bin/. To fix this I am running now source/configure
1532 with "--prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr". This closes #47716 (samba

1539 * I am pretty darn busy with my MBA, I apologize for the long time it's
1540 taking to squash bugs in the Samba packages.
1541 * Built with debhelper v2 for FHS compliancy. Changed a couple of
1542 things in debian/rules to accomodate for the new place for the docs.
1543 I also had to change debian/{samba.postinst,samba.prerm,swat.postinst}
1544 to make sure that the symlink from /usr/doc/xxx exists and points to
1545 /usr/share/doc/xxx (the reason for this is that I am not letting
1546 debhelper to create these scripts for me automatically).
1547 * Built with latest libc6.
1548 * smbfs: finally, the nasty bug that causes smbmount to die after
1549 a while is gone thanks to Ben Tilly <Ben_Tilly@trepp.com>.
1550 The problem was just a typo in source/client/smbmount.c.
1551 This closes grave bug #42764 (smbmount dies) and #43341
1552 (smbfs-2.2.x won't function after a while).
1553 * Fixed the smbmount wrapper script to eliminate a bashism (closes
1554 #45202 - "wrapper scripts use $* instead of "$@") and to recognize
1555 2.3.x and 2.4.x kernels (closes #47688 - "smbfs: does not recognize
1557 * Added a check to the smbmount wrapper script to see if the
1558 kernel has support for smbfs, as suggested by Jeroen Schaap
1559 <J.Schaap@physiology.medfac.leidenuniv.nl>.
1560 * swat's man page is now part of the swat package, not of the samba
1561 package. This closes #44808 (Samba has a man page for swat, but
1562 the binary is not included).
1563 * The interface program smbrun is not longer needed by smbd because
1564 of the availability of execl() under Linux. Because of this, the
1565 smbrun is not even being compiled. Since there is no need for smbrun
1566 now, the smbrun man page was taken out of the samba package. This
1567 closes #45266 (/usr/bin/smbrun missing).
1568 * smbpasswd is now part of the samba-common package, and not part of
1569 the samba package. This is to let administrators that do not want
1570 to install a full Samba server administer passwords in remote
1571 machines. This closes bug #42624 (smbpasswd should be included in
1572 smbclient). This bug report also suggests that swat becomes part of
1573 the samba package, that smbfs becomes part of the smbclient package,
1574 and that the binary smbpasswd becomes part of the smbclient package.
1575 I moved smbpasswd to the samba-common package but I am reluctant to
1576 do the other things the bug report suggests.
1577 * In order to keep dpkg happy when moving smbpasswd from the samba
1578 package to samba-common, I had to add a "Replaces: samba (<= 2.0.5a-2)"
1579 in the control section of the samba-common package and a
1580 "Replaces: samba-common (<= 2.0.5a-2)" in the control section of the
1581 samba package (in debian.control).
1582 * Samba is now being compiled with the "--with-netatalk" option. This
1583 closes #47480 (Could samba be compiled with the --with-netatalk option).
1584 * All packages that depend on samba-common have a versioned dependency
1585 now. This was accomplished by adding "(= ${Source-Version})" to the
1586 relevant sections of debian/control. Thanks t Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho
1587 <gaia@iki.fi> for the hint. This closes #42985 (samba should probably
1588 have a versioned depends on samba-common).
1589 * Made sure the file docs/textdocs/DIAGNOSIS.txt gets installed in all
1590 the Samba packages. This closes bug #42049 (no DIAGNOSTICS.txt file).
1591 * Added the smbadduser helper script to the samba package. This closes
1592 #44480 (Samba doesn't come with the smbadduser program).
1593 * Applied patch from szasz@triton.sch.bme.hu that prevents smbmount
1594 to leave an entry in /etc/mtab for a share that could not be mounted
1595 because of invalid user of password. The patch also allows smbumount
1596 to unmount the share in the event that something goes wrong with the
1597 smbmount process. This closes bug #48613 (Mount/umount problems +
1598 patch) as well as #44130 (failed mount is still mounted).
1599 * smbmount-2.2.x is now setuid root. This is needed for the patch
1600 applied above to be effective. If smbmount-2.2.x is not setuid root
1601 then an entry will be left in /etc/mtab even when the mount
1602 fails. I had to add "usr/bin/smbmount-2.2.x" to debian/smbfs.suid

1618 to Pittsburgh (from Caracas, Venezuela) in aprox. 24 hours and we still
1619 have plenty of things to pack and to do. Samba 2.0.5 was released
1620 while I was in the Honey Moon and it is just now (almost 3 AM) when

1624 * This release (2.0.5a-1) was compiled on a Slink system. 2.0.5a-2 will
1625 be compiled on a Potato system.
1626 * Added a "Replaces: samba (<= 1.9.18p10-7)" to the samba-common
1627 section in debian/control (as suggested by Steve Haslam
1628 <araqnid@debian.org>) to fix the problems that appear when upgrading

1636 line syntax similar to the one used by the old smbmount (for 2.0.x
1637 kernels). This means that the wrapper script is no longer necessary
1638 so I removed it. In its place there is a simple wrapper script that

1657 binary package and also the old source package for smbfs. smbfs and
1658 smbfsx have been merged starting with this version.
1659 * Merged the old smbfs package with Samba. Now there is only one package
1660 for the smbfs utilities and is called "smbfs". The package smbfsx
1661 does not exist any more and this new smbfs package must be used
1662 for both 2.0.x and > 2.1.x kernels.
1663 * A wrapper script was added to handle the syntax change in smbmount
1664 in the new smbfs utilities (required for kernels > 2.1.70). The
1665 home page for this script is http://www.wittsend.com/mhw/smbmount.html.
1666 Please _note_ that this will change (for good) in Samba 2.0.5 :-)
1667 * Added debian/smbumount.sh. It's another wrapper that calls smbumount-2.2.x
1668 or smbumount-2.0.x depending on the kernel currently running.
1669 * Not using -t for savelog in cron.weekly script.
1670 * Recompiled without libreadlineg-dev (Samba does not seem to be using
1671 it so unnecessary dependencies are produced).

1685 #33838 (Amanda/ Samba 2.0.2 and backing up large filesystems) and
1686 #33867 (Amanda 2.4.1 and Samba 2.0.2 and large filesystems). Jeremy
1687 Allison released Samba 2.0.4 and found out that there were a couple
1688 of minor bugs so he released 2.0.4a. Then he found out about more
1689 serious bugs and released 2.0.4b. I have built this package several
1690 times between yesterday and today because of this. Now I am releasing
1691 the Debian packages for Samba with what I believe will be the latest
1692 release the Samba Team will make at least in the next 4 days (Jeremy
1693 is taking a short vacation).
1694 * Still compiling against glibc2.0 (sorry about that :-)
1695 * Hacked source/smbwrapper/smbsh.c to fix the problem
1696 of smbsh not finding the shared library smbwrapper.so. It looks
1697 now in /usr/lib/samba/ for this file. This fixes #32971, #32989,
1698 #33278, #34911 and #36317.
1699 * Made smbfsx depend on samba-common because smbfsx uses /etc/samba/smb.conf
1700 and /etc/samba/codepages/. This fixes #33128 (smbmount complains about
1701 missing /etc/smb.conf).
1702 * Package swat does not depend on httpd anymore (there's no need to).
1703 This fixes #35795 (swat requires httpd).
1704 * Renamed smbmount-2.1.x and smbumount-2.1.x to smbmount-2.2.x and
1705 smbumount-2.2.x. Same applies to the man pages.
1706 * Changed minor type in smbmount's man page (changed "\"" by "\'"). This
1707 fixes #34070 (wrong quotes in manpage).

1711 * Changes to /etc/cron.weely/samba: rotate /var/log/{nmb,smb}.old only
1712 if the size of either is different than 0. Also, added comments at the
1713 beginning of this script to explain how rotation of log files works in
1714 Samba. Thanks to ujr@physik.phy.tu-dresden.de (Ulf Jaenicke-Roessler)
1715 for the suggestions. This closes #37490 (cron.weekly script rotates not
1716 used [sn]mb.old files). As I side effect, this should also close
1717 #31462 (still trouble with /etc/cron.weekly/samba).
1718 * Check for old /etc/pam.d/samba file which is not provided by this version
1719 of the Debian Samba package but was provided in older versions. If this
1720 file exists we delete it. We check for this in the postinst. This closes
1721 #37356 (samba put stuff in pam.d that pam complains about) and #34312
1722 (libpam0g: questions during upgrade).
1723 * Make sure the mode of /etc/samba/smbpasswd is set to 600. This is done
1724 in the postinst script. This closes #35730 (Security problem with
1725 /etc/samba/smbpasswd when upgrading from samba 1.9.18p8-2 to 2.0.3-1).
1726 * I have just checked and it looks like #28748 (smbfsx doesn't "return ")
1727 has been fixed. This might have been fixed since a long time ago.
1728 * Long long standing bug #18488 (smbclient: internal tar is broken) is
1729 closed in this release of Samba. The bug might have been closed for a
1730 long long time, but I did not check for this before.
1731 * Temporary fix to the annoying "Unknown socket option IPTOS_LOWDELAY"
1732 message. This fixes #33698 (socket option IPTOS_LOWDELAY no longer works),

1742 upstream sources that does the same thing. I modified the postinst
1743 script to use this script instead of the one I created.

1747 samba (2.0.2-2) unstable; urgency=low
1749 * Updated the README.Debian file.
1750 * Updated the description of the samba package in the control file.
1751 * The binaries smbmnt and smbumount-2.1.x in the smbfsx package are now
1752 installed setuid root as they should be. This was done by doing a
1753 a "chmod u+s" for each binary in debian/rules and by creating the
1754 file debian/smbfsx.suid.
1755 * Minor patch to source/client/smbumount.c to allow normal users
1756 to umount what they have mounted (problem was a kernel vs. libc6
1757 size mismatch). I sent the patch upstream.
1758 * Created debian/smbwrapper.dirs so the directory /usr/lib/samba/ is
1760 * Modified debian/rules to move smbwrapper.so from debian/tmp/usr/bin/ to
1761 debian/smbwrapper/usr/lib/samba/.
1762 * Hacked source/smbwrapper/smbsh.c to fix the problem
1763 of smbsh not finding the shared library smbwrapper.so.

1781 * The samba postinst made an unwarranted assumption that the file
1782 /etc/samba/smbpasswd exists. If the file did not exist (which is
1783 perfectly valid) the postinst will fail. This fixes #32953.

1795 samba (2.0.0final-2) unstable; urgency=low
1797 * Finally!!! The first upload to unstable. Sorry for the delay folks
1798 but I have been quite busy lately :-) Another reason for the delay
1799 is that I wanted to ease the migration from Samba 1.9.18p10 and
1800 before to Samba 2.0.0. I changed the location of the config. files
1801 from /etc/ to /etc/samba/ and this made things a little bit harder.
1802 * This package needs 2.2 kernel headers to compile (well, this is
1803 true for the smbfsx package, all others compile fine with 2.0 kernel
1805 * Created a preinst script for the samba package to take care of the
1806 location migration of smb.conf (from /etc/ to /etc/samba/). The
1807 preinst script also takes care of moving /etc/smbpasswd to its new
1808 location (/etc/samba/).
1809 * Created postinst and postrm scripts to add/remove an entry for swat
1811 * I had forgotten to install the sambaconfig script so I changed
1812 debian/rules to install this script.
1813 * Added a postrm script for the samba package (I had forgotten to add
1814 this script to the new Samba packages after the migration from 1.9.18
1816 * Created a small Perl script that is called from the samba postinst
1817 to convert the smbpasswd from the old format used in version prior
1818 to 2.0.0 to the new one used in 2.0.0 and beyond.
1819 * The upgrade process should be automatically now. Please let me know

1870 samba (2.0.0beta1-1) experimental; urgency=low
1872 * First beta release of the samba-2.0.0 code. Before the beta I was
1873 working with sources downloaded directly from the CVS server. This
1874 package goes into experimental and I plan to release the new
1875 samba to unstable as soon as it gets out of beta.
1876 * Created several packages out of the Samba sources. They are:
1877 samba (nmbd and smbd daemons + related programs), smbclient (FTP
1878 like command line utility to retrieve files from SMB servers),
1879 swat (Samba Web Administration Tool), samba-common (common files
1880 used by samba, smbclient and swat), smbfsx (smbfs utilities for
1881 kernels >= 2.1.70), smbwrapper and samba-doc (Samba documentation).
1882 * Refreshed debian/samba-doc.docs so recently added docs. are
1883 installed in the samba-doc package. New additions include man
1884 pages in the /usr/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/ directory.
1885 * Deleted Debian specific nmblookup(1) man page as it is now upstream.
1886 * Added smbtorture to smbclient package.
1887 * Moved rpcclient from the samba package to the smbclient package.
1888 * The Samba daemons (nmbd and smbd) now create a PID file so I changed
1889 all calls to start-stop-daemon to use the PID file.
1890 * Fixed debian/rules to install mksmbpasswd (fixes #27655).
1891 * Modified /etc/init.d/samba so nmbd is started without the -a (append
1892 to the log file instead of overwrite) switch. The new behavior of
1893 nmbd is to NOT overwrite log files, so the -a switch can be deleted
1895 * Moved from debstd to debhelper.

1944 never released it because an obscure bug was found just a couple
1945 of days before the official release, so the Samba Team stopped
1946 the rollover of 1.9.18p9.
1947 * Updated documentation (new files were added to the docs/ directory
1948 that were not installed in /usr/doc/samba/).
1949 * Fixed long standing bug #7695 (smb.conf's man page doesn't document
1950 'printing=lprng') - I made a couple of changes to the man page to
1951 include references to lprng.
1952 * Fixes bug #24930 (samba needs to suggest psmisc?). I don't think it
1953 is necessary to make samba suggest psmisc just because the postinst
1954 script mentions to call killall. So, I removed all references to
1955 "killall" in the scripts.
1956 * Fixes bug #25999 (Samba does not by default work with unix password
1957 sync): I added the "passwd program" and "passwd chat" parameters to

1975 "grave" bug #23903 (samba maps username before authenicating with
1976 NT password server).
1977 * Added a "sleep 2" between "start-stop-daemon --stop" and
1978 "start-stop-daemon --start" in /etc/init.d/samba so when this script
1979 is called with the "restart" parameter the Samba daemons are restarted

1983 * Added perfomance tune parameters to sample /etc/smb.conf (SO_SNDBUF=4096

2000 from inetd and the user runs /etc/init.d/samba to start|stop|restart

2084 configuration information in /etc/samba/debian_config.

2086 new configuration scheme.
2087 * Moved required kernel 2.1.x include files inside the source tree
2088 so I don't have to do very nasty things like creating crazy
2089 symlinks in /usr/include to make this package compile. This
2090 allows non-root users to build the package and fixes bug

2094 * The /etc/init.d/samba script now supports the force-reload
2095 argument, as required by the policy (problem reported by lintian).
2096 * Added a "rm /etc/cron.weekly/samba" at the end of the postinst.
2097 * Now the samba package can be installed even if no nmbd or smbd processes
2098 are running. This fixes the following bugs: #8917, #9334, #10268,

2101 * Added a --no-reload option to sambaconfig to not reload Samba
2102 after configuration.
2103 * Created man pages for sambaconfig(8), addtosmbpass(8),
2104 mksmbpasswd(8) and nmblookup(1).

2191 * Conflicts with the sambades package because the new Samba 1.9.18
2192 series do not depend on the DES libraries to support encrypted
2194 * Added parameter "encrypt passwords = yes" to /etc/smb.conf.
2195 * Compiled with support for quotas in disk_free().
2196 * Home directories are now exported read only by default.
2197 * Re-worked debian/rules.
2198 * Re-worked sample smb.conf.

2202 samba (1.9.17p4-1) unstable; urgency=low
2204 * New upstream version.
2205 * Made /etc/smb.conf readable by everybody because some Samba utilities
2206 will fail otherwise when run by non-root users.
2207 * Dropped PAM support while the PAM libraries are ported to libc6.

2218 samba (1.9.17p2-2) unstable; urgency=low
2220 * Running Samba as daemons instead of from inetd.
2221 * Removing netbios entries in /etc/inetd.conf.

2225 samba (1.9.17p2-1) unstable; urgency=low
2227 * New upstream version that fixes a serious security hole.
2228 * Removed Debian patches added in 1.9.17-1 and 1.9.17p1-1 because
2229 these patches are now part of the upstream release.

2233 samba (1.9.17p1-1) unstable; urgency=low
2235 * New upstream version.
2236 * Defined symbol _LINUX_C_LIB_VERSION_MAJOR as 6 in includes.h to shut up
2238 * Included rpcsvc/ypclnt.h in includes.h to shut up compiler warnings.
2239 * Included crypt.h to have function prototype for crypt().
2240 * Included netinet/tcp.h to have some socket options included.
2241 * Included netinet/ip.h to have some socket options included.
2242 * Linking with libcrypt (LIBM='... -lcrypt'). Without including this
2243 library smbd generates a seg. fault when authenticating users (?).

2247 samba (1.9.17-1) unstable; urgency=low
2249 * New upstream version (called the "Browse Fix Release")
2250 * Added the option --oknodo to the start-stop-daemon invocation in prerm
2251 script. This was because the prerm was failing because start-stop-daemon
2252 was returning an error code if no nmbd or smbd daemons were found
2254 * The function yp_get_default_domain(), referenced in three source
2255 files was part of libc5 but with libc6 (glibc2) it has been moved
2256 to libnss_nis. Since the linker was unable to find the function
2257 I had to add LIBSM='-lnss_nis' to debian/rules.
2258 * Added -DNO_ASMSIGNALH and -DGLIBC2 to FLAGSM in debian/rules
2259 because compiling was failing because of conflicts with glibc2.
2260 * Patched source/includes.h to include termios.h if GLIBC2 is defined.
