4 This is the first preview release of Samba 4.7. This is *not*
5 intended for production environments and is designed for testing
6 purposes only. Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting
7 system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/.
9 Samba 4.7 will be the next version of the Samba suite.
19 The "strict sync" global parameter has been changed from
20 a default of "no" to "yes". This means smbd will by default
21 obey client requests to synchronize unwritten data in operating
22 system buffers safely onto disk. This is a safer default setting
23 for modern SMB1/2/3 clients.
28 Parameter Name Description Default
29 -------------- ----------- -------
30 strict sync Default changed yes
