492 state from one location, but write it out to another. (closes: #154210)
493 * Make sure nmbd is always looking for wins.tdb in the same place.

509 * Clean up some empty directories from the samba package.
510 * Add call to dh_installinit for winbind rc.x symlinks (closes: #151860).
511 * Clean up per-package documentation lists, to reduce clutter
513 * Make sure we don't ship pdbedit's man page since we are still using
514 smbpasswd passwords. (closes: #152208)
515 * move libnss_wins.so to libnss_wins.so.2, where glibc expects to find

518 the debconf answers properly (closes: #151985).

530 samba (2.2.4+2.2.5pre1-1) experimental; urgency=low
532 * Getting ready for Samba 2.2.5.
533 * Remove patches/parse_spoolss.patch, now included upstream.
534 * Fixed thinko WRT POSIX ACL support, which we "half-enabled" in
535 2.2.4-1. We don't use POSIX ACL support ourselves, so we'd
536 appreciate reports from those using this feature so we can
538 * Fix the filename-matching algorithm used for smbtar's 'exclude'
539 functionality. (closes: #131571)
540 * Look for secrets.tdb in /var/lib/samba, and handle in the postinst.
541 This is not really a config file, because users don't edit it.
543 * Doxygen fix for libsmbclient.h, thanks to Tommi Komulainen

550 * New upstream release (closes: #144713)
551 * Building with POSIX ACL support (closes: #137819)
552 * Include samples, exclude INSTALL from libpam-smbpass (closes: #145055)
553 * Compile with --with-automount, for NIS homedir support (closes: #123396)
554 * Add a proper 'flags' field to the mount entry we write to /etc/mtab;
555 fixes a display bug with mount (closes: #140397)
556 * Added logic to /etc/init.d/samba so a help message is printed out
557 when Samba is running from inetd _and_ we are not booting, i.e. the
558 user called the init script manually. Thanks to Francesco
559 Potorti <pot@gnu.org> for the suggestion on how to implement this.
560 (Closes: #139807, #140204)
561 * samba.postinst: added logic so we don't call /etc/init.d/samba if
562 we are running from inetd (this prevents the stupid help message
563 to be printed during package upgrades if we are running from inetd.)
565 * /etc/init.d/samba: delete stale PID files after nmbd and smbd are
566 stopped. This prevents start-stop-daemon from printing an ugly
567 error message when called from '/etc/init.d/samba stop'. I prefer
568 this than running start-stop-daemon with --oknodo because
569 start-stop-daemon might print other important error messages that with
570 --oknodo it would otherwise not print. (Closes: #102187, #109301)
571 * Patch from jerry@samba.org to fix parsing of spoolss structures.

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

618 call 'update-inetd --remove' on package purge.
619 * Bring our shipped smb.conf closer in line with the upstream
620 defaults: don't twiddle the send/recv buffer sizes, since the Linux
621 kernel already provides a much better default setting
622 (closes: #80966, #80934, #137415, #133477)

657 samba (2.2.3a-2) unstable; urgency=low
659 * merge in debconf support:
660 - Moved all smb.conf-related questions to samba-common (smb.conf
661 is part of the samba-common package, not the samba package.)
662 - smb.conf is not a samba-common conffile anymore since it is
663 being managed by debconf. It is ABSOLUTELY necessary to make
664 sure /etc/samba/smb.conf _NEVER_ gets overwritten by changes
665 made via debconf. In other words, any changes made by the user
666 should be honored by the debconf interface.
667 - samba.postinst now moves old log files from /var/log/ to
668 /var/log/samba/. There's a Debconf note that informs the user
669 the log files are stored now in a new location.
671 + Make samba depend on debconf.
672 - New file debian/samba.templates.
673 - New file debian/samba.config.
674 - Re-worked debian/samba.postinst.
675 + Got rid of all /etc/samba/debian_config sillyness.
676 - remove /usr/sbin/sambaconfig; "dpkg-reconfigure samba" replaces
678 - Removed debian/samba.prerm.
679 - Cleaned up /etc/init.d/samba.
680 + Added infrastructure for debconf.
681 + Got rid of all /etc/samba/debian_config sillyness.
682 + Got rid of /etc/samba/smbpasswd conversion stuff for
683 compatibility with versions of Samba < 2.0.0final-2.
684 (closes: #127959, #34408, #113594)

686 makes for a clean upgrade path.

696 Potato packages brought this to my attention. dh_installlogrotate
697 takes care of creating the directory for us, that's why we didn't
699 * Removed code that converts /etc/samba/smbpasswd from an ancient
700 format to the new format of Samba 2.0.0 and later.
701 Closes: #134375 - samba: postinst failed due to missing
702 /usr/bin/convert_smbpasswd.
703 * Re-organized FHS migration code in samba.postinst. Make sure we
704 don't fail when we move files that don't exist.
705 Closes: #133813 - samba: Install failed.
706 * Adding docs. to the libpam-smbpass package.
707 * Remove man pages for findsmb because we are not providing this
709 Closes: #134181 - findsmb referenced, but not included.
710 * Removed replace.patch because it is now present upstream.
711 * Added patch from Jerry Carter to fix a problem when saving
712 document preferences for printing from NT clients.
713 * The real winbindd daemon is a forked process so we can't use
714 --make-pidfile when calling start-stop-daemon. Fixed
715 /etc/init.d/winbind to work around the issue. Thanks to
716 Lin Li <linl@xandros.com> for the patience and for reporting

746 regenerate this file cleanly.
748 - Create winbind.conffiles and add /etc/logrotate.d/winbind and
749 /etc/init.d/winbind to it.
750 - Use a relative symlink for /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb.
751 - Removal of a .cvsignore file in the samba-doc package.
752 * winbind.init fixes:
753 - Corrected name of the pid file (Steve)
754 - Make start-stop-daemon create a pid file for winbindd since it
755 does not create one on his own.
756 * #DEBHELPER# is not needed in samba.postinst because we are adding
757 manually everything that debhelper adds automatically. In fact,

954 that even with this hack there is a small window when password is
955 completely visible with 'ps aux'. There are other methods that should

1013 and his arguments were so sound and reasonable that I decided
1014 to implement them. Here's Steve's original changelog:
1016 * Fix up the build system to avoid needing to run configure
1017 as root to answer questions we already know the answers to.
1018 * In the process, make surprising progress towards being able to
1019 cross-compile the samba packages.

1040 * Steve Langasek <vorlon@netexpress.net> has been hard at work in
1041 the last few days looking at the long list of open bugs filed
1042 against the Samba packages. I don't know how to thank him. It's been
1043 a pleasure working with Steve, and all the fixes, patches, etc. in
1044 this release come from him. The bug list is greatly reduced thanks
1046 * Steve's additions/modifications/patches/etc. are:
1047 - New package that (libpam-smbpass) provides pam_smbpass. Before, this
1048 was provided in another package but now the sources are part of
1049 the Samba sources so we can start providing it from here.
1050 Closes: #107043 - pam_smbpass now present in Samba source,
1051 should be built from there
1052 - Patch to source/smbd/service.c that allows admins to call
1053 /bin/umount from the root postexec of a Samba share.
1054 Closes: #40561 - samba pre/postexec commands do not work.
1055 - Clear TMPDIR before starting smbd in /etc/init.d/samba.
1056 Closes: #51295 - Problems with Samba and TMPDIR.
1057 - Correction to documentation of "guest only".
1058 Closes #38282 - "guest only" share still requires a password.
1059 * Applied patch from Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es> to convert
1060 /usr/sbin/mksmbpasswd from a shell script into a real awk script.
1061 Sorry it took so long, Santiago; I hadn't realized you even
1062 provided a patch :-)
1063 Closes: #77891 - mksmbpasswd could be a real awk script.
1064 * Updated description of the smbfs and smbclient packages. Also have
1065 each package recommend the other.
1066 Closes: #108650: Should suggest or recommend smbfs.

1377 because the format of its shlibs file is not correct. I fixed that
1378 file (/var/lib/dpkg/info/libcupsys1.shlibs) and now dependencies are
1379 picked correctly. I'll talk to the libcupsys1 maintainer.
1381 I think the addition of CUPS support to Samba is a big change that
1382 should not go into Frozen. So, I decided to back up the addition
1383 of CUPS support I did in 2.0.6-4 to minimize problems. I'll add
1384 CUPS support again when I start working on Samba for Woody.

1389 samba (2.0.6-4) frozen unstable; urgency=low
1391 * It seems that sometimes nmbd or smbd are not killed when upgrading.
1392 I think it is because in samba's prerm script I was calling
1393 start-stop-daemon with the --pidfile switch and in old versions of
1394 Samba the nmbd and smbd daemons did not store their PIDs in a file in
1395 /var/samba/. I changed debian/samba.prerm so the existence of the
1396 PID files is checked before calling "start-stop-daemon --pidfile ..."
1397 If the PID files do not exist then start-stop-daemon is called
1398 without the --pidfile parameter.

1400 * Fixed typo in description of swat package in debian/control.
1401 * Installed libcupsys1-dev so the configure script picks up CUPS

1403 the Depends: list of package samba in debian/control.

1417 * Moved samba-docs to the 'docs' section.
1418 (Closes: #51077 - samba-doc: wrong section)
1419 * Added reload capability to /etc/init.d/samba (only for smbd because
1420 nmbd does not support reloading after receiving a signal).
1421 (Closes: #50954 - patch to add reload support to /etc/init.d/samba)
1422 * Corrected "passwd chat" parameter in sample /etc/samba/smb.conf so
1423 Unix password syncronization works with the passwd program currently

1425 the correct chat script.
1426 * Stole source/lib/util_sec.c from the CVS tree of what will become

1449 * Compiled with syslog support (use at your own risk: syslog support
1450 is still experimental in Samba). I added the parameters "syslog = 0"
1451 and "syslog only = no" to the sample smb.conf to avoid pestering
1452 users that do not want Samba to log through syslog.
1453 (Closes: Bug#50703 - syslog only option doesn't work)

1466 * Samba 2.0.6 has been released. This is the first try of the Debian
1467 Samba packages. I know for sure that smbd won't work properly on
1468 2.0.x kernels because the patch that Wichert sent me does not apply
1469 to the new source/lib/util_sec.c in Samba 2.0.6. That file was
1470 completely re-written by Tridge.
1471 * Updated README.Debian.
1472 * A new client utility called smbspool appeared in Samba 2.0.6. I added
1473 this utility to the smbclient package, although I haven't tried it yet.
1474 * Added the symlink /sbin/mount.smbfs that points to /usr/bin/smbmount.
1475 This is to be able to type "mouont -t smbfs ...". This symlink goes
1476 in the smbfs package, of course.

1496 module). To succesfully add PAM support, I created /etc/pam.d/samba and
1497 added this file as a conffile for the samba-common package. I also made
1498 samba-common depend on libpam-pwdb.
1499 * Added simple man pages for the wrapper scripts smbmount and smbmount.
1500 (Closes: Bug#44705 - Missing smbmount man page)
1501 * Installed libreadlineg2-dev in my system so smbclient now has a

1504 the kernel has support for smbfs, as suggested by Jeroen Schaap

1510 samba (2.0.5a-5) unstable; urgency=low
1512 * I am sorry to report that the smbwrapper package is gone for the
1513 moment. The reason for this is twofold: first of all, smbwrapper
1514 is completely broken in Samba-2.0.5a (it compiles but it doesn't
1515 run) and in the upcoming Samba-2.0.6 it doesn't even compile. Second,
1516 when I asked Andrew Tridgell (father of Samba) about the state of
1517 smbwrapper he told me that Ulrich Drepper (head of the glibc project)
1518 broke on purpose the glibc stuff in which smbwrapper is based.
1519 Consequently, Tridge recommended me to compile Samba without
1520 support for smbwrapper. When, I have no idea. Sorry folks. Here is
1521 the original message I received from Andrew:
1523 > 1) 2.0.5a's smbwrapper doesn't work under glibc2.1, and pre-2.0.6's
1524 > smbwrapper doesn't even compile under glibc2.1.
1526 yep, Ulrich deliberately broke it. It won't get fixed till glibc
1527 allows the sorts of games it plays to work again. I suggest you turn
1528 it off in your build scripts until that gets sorted out.

1540 in a system running a 2.2.x kernel. This closes #40645 (build uses
1541 setresuid which doesn't work under 2.0.34 (does apparently under
1543 * Fixed the entry that swat's postinst script adds to /etc/inetd.conf
1544 so it is '#<off># swat\t\tstream\ttcp\tnowait.400 ...' instead of
1545 '#<off>#swat\t\tstream\ttcp\tnowait.400 ...'. The old way caused
1546 'update-inetd --enable swat' to leave the entry for swat disabled.
1547 Thanks to Dave Burchell <burchell@inetnebr.com> for finding out
1548 this problem. This closes #48762 (swat uses non-standard syntax to
1549 comment out inetd.conf entry).

1551 in /usr/local/samba/bin/. To fix this I am running now source/configure

1559 * I am pretty darn busy with my MBA, I apologize for the long time it's
1560 taking to squash bugs in the Samba packages.
1561 * Built with debhelper v2 for FHS compliancy. Changed a couple of
1562 things in debian/rules to accomodate for the new place for the docs.
1563 I also had to change debian/{samba.postinst,samba.prerm,swat.postinst}
1564 to make sure that the symlink from /usr/doc/xxx exists and points to
1565 /usr/share/doc/xxx (the reason for this is that I am not letting
1566 debhelper to create these scripts for me automatically).
1567 * Built with latest libc6.
1568 * smbfs: finally, the nasty bug that causes smbmount to die after
1569 a while is gone thanks to Ben Tilly <Ben_Tilly@trepp.com>.
1570 The problem was just a typo in source/client/smbmount.c.
1571 This closes grave bug #42764 (smbmount dies) and #43341
1572 (smbfs-2.2.x won't function after a while).
1573 * Fixed the smbmount wrapper script to eliminate a bashism (closes
1574 #45202 - "wrapper scripts use $* instead of "$@") and to recognize
1575 2.3.x and 2.4.x kernels (closes #47688 - "smbfs: does not recognize
1577 * Added a check to the smbmount wrapper script to see if the
1578 kernel has support for smbfs, as suggested by Jeroen Schaap
1579 <J.Schaap@physiology.medfac.leidenuniv.nl>.
1580 * swat's man page is now part of the swat package, not of the samba
1581 package. This closes #44808 (Samba has a man page for swat, but
1582 the binary is not included).
1583 * The interface program smbrun is not longer needed by smbd because
1584 of the availability of execl() under Linux. Because of this, the
1585 smbrun is not even being compiled. Since there is no need for smbrun
1586 now, the smbrun man page was taken out of the samba package. This
1587 closes #45266 (/usr/bin/smbrun missing).
1588 * smbpasswd is now part of the samba-common package, and not part of
1589 the samba package. This is to let administrators that do not want
1590 to install a full Samba server administer passwords in remote
1591 machines. This closes bug #42624 (smbpasswd should be included in
1592 smbclient). This bug report also suggests that swat becomes part of
1593 the samba package, that smbfs becomes part of the smbclient package,
1594 and that the binary smbpasswd becomes part of the smbclient package.
1595 I moved smbpasswd to the samba-common package but I am reluctant to
1596 do the other things the bug report suggests.
1597 * In order to keep dpkg happy when moving smbpasswd from the samba
1598 package to samba-common, I had to add a "Replaces: samba (<= 2.0.5a-2)"
1599 in the control section of the samba-common package and a
1600 "Replaces: samba-common (<= 2.0.5a-2)" in the control section of the
1601 samba package (in debian.control).
1602 * Samba is now being compiled with the "--with-netatalk" option. This
1603 closes #47480 (Could samba be compiled with the --with-netatalk option).
1604 * All packages that depend on samba-common have a versioned dependency
1605 now. This was accomplished by adding "(= ${Source-Version})" to the
1606 relevant sections of debian/control. Thanks t Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho
1607 <gaia@iki.fi> for the hint. This closes #42985 (samba should probably
1608 have a versioned depends on samba-common).
1609 * Made sure the file docs/textdocs/DIAGNOSIS.txt gets installed in all
1610 the Samba packages. This closes bug #42049 (no DIAGNOSTICS.txt file).
1611 * Added the smbadduser helper script to the samba package. This closes
1612 #44480 (Samba doesn't come with the smbadduser program).
1613 * Applied patch from szasz@triton.sch.bme.hu that prevents smbmount
1614 to leave an entry in /etc/mtab for a share that could not be mounted
1615 because of invalid user of password. The patch also allows smbumount
1616 to unmount the share in the event that something goes wrong with the
1617 smbmount process. This closes bug #48613 (Mount/umount problems +
1618 patch) as well as #44130 (failed mount is still mounted).
1619 * smbmount-2.2.x is now setuid root. This is needed for the patch
1620 applied above to be effective. If smbmount-2.2.x is not setuid root
1621 then an entry will be left in /etc/mtab even when the mount
1622 fails. I had to add "usr/bin/smbmount-2.2.x" to debian/smbfs.suid

1640 while I was in the Honey Moon and it is just now (almost 3 AM) when

1648 <araqnid@debian.org>) to fix the problems that appear when upgrading

1677 binary package and also the old source package for smbfs. smbfs and
1678 smbfsx have been merged starting with this version.
1679 * Merged the old smbfs package with Samba. Now there is only one package
1680 for the smbfs utilities and is called "smbfs". The package smbfsx
1681 does not exist any more and this new smbfs package must be used
1682 for both 2.0.x and > 2.1.x kernels.
1683 * A wrapper script was added to handle the syntax change in smbmount
1684 in the new smbfs utilities (required for kernels > 2.1.70). The
1685 home page for this script is http://www.wittsend.com/mhw/smbmount.html.
1686 Please _note_ that this will change (for good) in Samba 2.0.5 :-)
1687 * Added debian/smbumount.sh. It's another wrapper that calls smbumount-2.2.x
1688 or smbumount-2.0.x depending on the kernel currently running.
1689 * Not using -t for savelog in cron.weekly script.
1690 * Recompiled without libreadlineg-dev (Samba does not seem to be using
1691 it so unnecessary dependencies are produced).

1705 #33838 (Amanda/ Samba 2.0.2 and backing up large filesystems) and
1706 #33867 (Amanda 2.4.1 and Samba 2.0.2 and large filesystems). Jeremy
1707 Allison released Samba 2.0.4 and found out that there were a couple
1708 of minor bugs so he released 2.0.4a. Then he found out about more
1709 serious bugs and released 2.0.4b. I have built this package several
1710 times between yesterday and today because of this. Now I am releasing
1711 the Debian packages for Samba with what I believe will be the latest
1712 release the Samba Team will make at least in the next 4 days (Jeremy
1713 is taking a short vacation).
1714 * Still compiling against glibc2.0 (sorry about that :-)
1715 * Hacked source/smbwrapper/smbsh.c to fix the problem
1716 of smbsh not finding the shared library smbwrapper.so. It looks
1717 now in /usr/lib/samba/ for this file. This fixes #32971, #32989,
1718 #33278, #34911 and #36317.
1719 * Made smbfsx depend on samba-common because smbfsx uses /etc/samba/smb.conf
1720 and /etc/samba/codepages/. This fixes #33128 (smbmount complains about
1721 missing /etc/smb.conf).
1722 * Package swat does not depend on httpd anymore (there's no need to).
1723 This fixes #35795 (swat requires httpd).
1724 * Renamed smbmount-2.1.x and smbumount-2.1.x to smbmount-2.2.x and
1725 smbumount-2.2.x. Same applies to the man pages.
1726 * Changed minor type in smbmount's man page (changed "\"" by "\'"). This
1727 fixes #34070 (wrong quotes in manpage).

1732 if the size of either is different than 0. Also, added comments at the
1733 beginning of this script to explain how rotation of log files works in
1734 Samba. Thanks to ujr@physik.phy.tu-dresden.de (Ulf Jaenicke-Roessler)
1735 for the suggestions. This closes #37490 (cron.weekly script rotates not
1736 used [sn]mb.old files). As I side effect, this should also close
1737 #31462 (still trouble with /etc/cron.weekly/samba).
1738 * Check for old /etc/pam.d/samba file which is not provided by this version
1739 of the Debian Samba package but was provided in older versions. If this
1740 file exists we delete it. We check for this in the postinst. This closes
1741 #37356 (samba put stuff in pam.d that pam complains about) and #34312
1742 (libpam0g: questions during upgrade).
1743 * Make sure the mode of /etc/samba/smbpasswd is set to 600. This is done
1744 in the postinst script. This closes #35730 (Security problem with
1745 /etc/samba/smbpasswd when upgrading from samba 1.9.18p8-2 to 2.0.3-1).
1746 * I have just checked and it looks like #28748 (smbfsx doesn't "return ")
1747 has been fixed. This might have been fixed since a long time ago.
1748 * Long long standing bug #18488 (smbclient: internal tar is broken) is
1749 closed in this release of Samba. The bug might have been closed for a
1750 long long time, but I did not check for this before.
1751 * Temporary fix to the annoying "Unknown socket option IPTOS_LOWDELAY"
1752 message. This fixes #33698 (socket option IPTOS_LOWDELAY no longer works),
1753 #34148 (warnings from smbd) and #35333 (samba warnings).

1759 * New upstream version.
1760 * Removed the convert_smbpasswd.pl program I created and put in
1761 /usr/doc/samba/ because there's a convert_smbpasswd script in the
1762 upstream sources that does the same thing. I modified the postinst
1763 script to use this script instead of the one I created.

1767 samba (2.0.2-2) unstable; urgency=low
1769 * Updated the README.Debian file.
1770 * Updated the description of the samba package in the control file.
1771 * The binaries smbmnt and smbumount-2.1.x in the smbfsx package are now
1772 installed setuid root as they should be. This was done by doing a
1773 a "chmod u+s" for each binary in debian/rules and by creating the
1774 file debian/smbfsx.suid.
1775 * Minor patch to source/client/smbumount.c to allow normal users
1776 to umount what they have mounted (problem was a kernel vs. libc6
1777 size mismatch). I sent the patch upstream.
1778 * Created debian/smbwrapper.dirs so the directory /usr/lib/samba/ is
1780 * Modified debian/rules to move smbwrapper.so from debian/tmp/usr/bin/ to
1781 debian/smbwrapper/usr/lib/samba/.
1782 * Hacked source/smbwrapper/smbsh.c to fix the problem
1783 of smbsh not finding the shared library smbwrapper.so.

1801 * The samba postinst made an unwarranted assumption that the file

1815 samba (2.0.0final-2) unstable; urgency=low
1817 * Finally!!! The first upload to unstable. Sorry for the delay folks
1818 but I have been quite busy lately :-) Another reason for the delay
1819 is that I wanted to ease the migration from Samba 1.9.18p10 and
1820 before to Samba 2.0.0. I changed the location of the config. files
1821 from /etc/ to /etc/samba/ and this made things a little bit harder.
1822 * This package needs 2.2 kernel headers to compile (well, this is
1823 true for the smbfsx package, all others compile fine with 2.0 kernel
1825 * Created a preinst script for the samba package to take care of the
1826 location migration of smb.conf (from /etc/ to /etc/samba/). The
1827 preinst script also takes care of moving /etc/smbpasswd to its new
1828 location (/etc/samba/).
1829 * Created postinst and postrm scripts to add/remove an entry for swat
1831 * I had forgotten to install the sambaconfig script so I changed
1832 debian/rules to install this script.
1833 * Added a postrm script for the samba package (I had forgotten to add
1834 this script to the new Samba packages after the migration from 1.9.18
1836 * Created a small Perl script that is called from the samba postinst
1837 to convert the smbpasswd from the old format used in version prior
1838 to 2.0.0 to the new one used in 2.0.0 and beyond.
1839 * The upgrade process should be automatically now. Please let me know

1890 samba (2.0.0beta1-1) experimental; urgency=low
1892 * First beta release of the samba-2.0.0 code. Before the beta I was
1893 working with sources downloaded directly from the CVS server. This
1894 package goes into experimental and I plan to release the new
1895 samba to unstable as soon as it gets out of beta.
1896 * Created several packages out of the Samba sources. They are:
1897 samba (nmbd and smbd daemons + related programs), smbclient (FTP
1898 like command line utility to retrieve files from SMB servers),
1899 swat (Samba Web Administration Tool), samba-common (common files
1900 used by samba, smbclient and swat), smbfsx (smbfs utilities for
1901 kernels >= 2.1.70), smbwrapper and samba-doc (Samba documentation).
1902 * Refreshed debian/samba-doc.docs so recently added docs. are
1903 installed in the samba-doc package. New additions include man
1904 pages in the /usr/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/ directory.
1905 * Deleted Debian specific nmblookup(1) man page as it is now upstream.
1906 * Added smbtorture to smbclient package.
1907 * Moved rpcclient from the samba package to the smbclient package.
1908 * The Samba daemons (nmbd and smbd) now create a PID file so I changed
1909 all calls to start-stop-daemon to use the PID file.
1910 * Fixed debian/rules to install mksmbpasswd (fixes #27655).
1911 * Modified /etc/init.d/samba so nmbd is started without the -a (append
1912 to the log file instead of overwrite) switch. The new behavior of
1913 nmbd is to NOT overwrite log files, so the -a switch can be deleted
1915 * Moved from debstd to debhelper.

1964 never released it because an obscure bug was found just a couple
1965 of days before the official release, so the Samba Team stopped
1966 the rollover of 1.9.18p9.
1967 * Updated documentation (new files were added to the docs/ directory
1968 that were not installed in /usr/doc/samba/).
1969 * Fixed long standing bug #7695 (smb.conf's man page doesn't document
1970 'printing=lprng') - I made a couple of changes to the man page to
1971 include references to lprng.
1972 * Fixes bug #24930 (samba needs to suggest psmisc?). I don't think it
1973 is necessary to make samba suggest psmisc just because the postinst
1974 script mentions to call killall. So, I removed all references to
1975 "killall" in the scripts.
1976 * Fixes bug #25999 (Samba does not by default work with unix password
1977 sync): I added the "passwd program" and "passwd chat" parameters to

1995 "grave" bug #23903 (samba maps username before authenicating with
1996 NT password server).
1997 * Added a "sleep 2" between "start-stop-daemon --stop" and
1998 "start-stop-daemon --start" in /etc/init.d/samba so when this script
1999 is called with the "restart" parameter the Samba daemons are restarted
2000 properly. This fixes bug #24211 (init.d script doesn't restart).
2001 * Sent start-stop-daemon output in /etc/init.d/samba to /dev/null to
2002 avoid annoying warning messages.
2003 * Added perfomance tune parameters to sample /etc/smb.conf (SO_SNDBUF=4096

2020 from inetd and the user runs /etc/init.d/samba to start|stop|restart

2103 configuration options). New scheme stores Debian specific
2104 configuration information in /etc/samba/debian_config.

2106 new configuration scheme.
2107 * Moved required kernel 2.1.x include files inside the source tree
2108 so I don't have to do very nasty things like creating crazy
2109 symlinks in /usr/include to make this package compile. This
2110 allows non-root users to build the package and fixes bug

2113 reported by lintian).
2114 * The /etc/init.d/samba script now supports the force-reload
2115 argument, as required by the policy (problem reported by lintian).
2116 * Added a "rm /etc/cron.weekly/samba" at the end of the postinst.
2117 * Now the samba package can be installed even if no nmbd or smbd processes
2118 are running. This fixes the following bugs: #8917, #9334, #10268,

2121 * Added a --no-reload option to sambaconfig to not reload Samba
2122 after configuration.
2123 * Created man pages for sambaconfig(8), addtosmbpass(8),
2124 mksmbpasswd(8) and nmblookup(1).

2208 samba (1.9.18alpha12-1) unstable; urgency=low
2210 * New upstream version.
2211 * Conflicts with the sambades package because the new Samba 1.9.18
2212 series do not depend on the DES libraries to support encrypted
2214 * Added parameter "encrypt passwords = yes" to /etc/smb.conf.
2215 * Compiled with support for quotas in disk_free().
2216 * Home directories are now exported read only by default.
2217 * Re-worked debian/rules.
2218 * Re-worked sample smb.conf.

2222 samba (1.9.17p4-1) unstable; urgency=low
2224 * New upstream version.
2225 * Made /etc/smb.conf readable by everybody because some Samba utilities
2226 will fail otherwise when run by non-root users.
2227 * Dropped PAM support while the PAM libraries are ported to libc6.

2231 samba (1.9.17p3-1) unstable; urgency=low
2233 * New upstream version.
2234 * Made /etc/smb.conf readable only by root as suggested by smbd's man page.

2238 samba (1.9.17p2-2) unstable; urgency=low
2240 * Running Samba as daemons instead of from inetd.
2241 * Removing netbios entries in /etc/inetd.conf.
2243 -- Eloy A. Paris <peloy@debian.org> Thu, 9 Oct 1997 23:37:25 -0400
2245 samba (1.9.17p2-1) unstable; urgency=low
2247 * New upstream version that fixes a serious security hole.
2248 * Removed Debian patches added in 1.9.17-1 and 1.9.17p1-1 because
2249 these patches are now part of the upstream release.
2251 -- Eloy A. Paris <peloy@debian.org> Sun, 28 Sep 1997 22:54:33 -0400
2253 samba (1.9.17p1-1) unstable; urgency=low
2255 * New upstream version.
2256 * Defined symbol _LINUX_C_LIB_VERSION_MAJOR as 6 in includes.h to shut up
2258 * Included rpcsvc/ypclnt.h in includes.h to shut up compiler warnings.
2259 * Included crypt.h to have function prototype for crypt().
2260 * Included netinet/tcp.h to have some socket options included.
2261 * Included netinet/ip.h to have some socket options included.
2262 * Linking with libcrypt (LIBM='... -lcrypt'). Without including this
2263 library smbd generates a seg. fault when authenticating users (?).

2267 samba (1.9.17-1) unstable; urgency=low
2269 * New upstream version (called the "Browse Fix Release")
2270 * Added the option --oknodo to the start-stop-daemon invocation in prerm
2271 script. This was because the prerm was failing because start-stop-daemon
2272 was returning an error code if no nmbd or smbd daemons were found
2274 * The function yp_get_default_domain(), referenced in three source
2275 files was part of libc5 but with libc6 (glibc2) it has been moved
2276 to libnss_nis. Since the linker was unable to find the function
2277 I had to add LIBSM='-lnss_nis' to debian/rules.
2278 * Added -DNO_ASMSIGNALH and -DGLIBC2 to FLAGSM in debian/rules
2279 because compiling was failing because of conflicts with glibc2.
2280 * Patched source/includes.h to include termios.h if GLIBC2 is defined.
