7 samba (2.2.5-1.woody) stable; urgency=low
9 * Upload latest stable Samba release to woody.
10 - includes improved NT printing support (closes: #157406)
11 * Fix the filename-matching algorithm used for smbtar's 'exclude'
12 functionality. (closes: #131571)
13 * Remove patches/srv_spoolss_nt.patch, now included upstream.

17 samba (2.2.3a-8) stable; urgency=low
19 * maintainer script fixes backported from sid.
20 * reorder postinst, so that installing samba-common from scratch loads
21 the debconf answers properly (closes: #151985).
22 * Look for secrets.tdb in /var/lib/samba, and handle in the postinst.
23 This is not really a config file, because users don't edit it.
25 * samba.postinst: added logic so we don't call /etc/init.d/samba if
26 we are running from inetd (this prevents the stupid help message
27 to be printed during package upgrades if we are running from inetd.)
28 * Fixed bug in the FHS migration path that causes nmbd to read its
29 state from one location, but write it out to another. (closes: #154210)

33 samba (2.2.3a-7) unstable; urgency=medium
35 * More README.debian updates.
36 * Neutralize the smb.conf 'lock dir' directive, which doesn't mean
37 what the FHS says it should, and causes us no end of grief.
39 * LPRng-handling patch so that jobs printed to recent versions of
40 LPRng show up properly as 'done' instead of 'paused' in the Windows
41 print queue. Thanks to Jaroslav Serdula <serdula_jaroslav@vse.sk>
42 for this patch. (Closes: #139458)
43 * Applied patch from Urban Widmark <urban@teststation.com>
44 (smbfs upstream maintainer) to add a '-n' option to smbmount
45 that does the same as mount's '-n'. (Closes: #139590)
46 * Minor tweak to unpatch-source so we unpatch sources in the
47 reverse order we patched them.
48 * Don't depend on grep in samba.prerm to determine if Samba was
49 running before the upgrade starts.
50 * Tweak the wording of debconf templates.
51 * Incorporate debconf translations for French, Spanish and Portuguese;
52 thanks to Carlos Valdivia Yagüe <valyag@hotpop.com> (es),
53 Andre Luis Lopes <andrelop@ig.com.br> (pt_BR), and Philippe
54 Batailler and Denis Barbier <barbier@debian.org> (fr).
55 (closes: #142657, #142659, #141551, #141699, #141682)
56 * Fixed symlinks in the swat package so the point to /usr/share/doc/
57 instead of /usr/doc/. Added note to the description of the
58 swat packages that says that samba-doc must be installed for
59 the on-line documentation to work. Thanks to Torne Wuff
60 <torne@wolfpuppy.org.uk>. (Closes: #95437)
61 * 'dh_installinit -n' gives us no initscript handling -- we need to
62 handle all starting and stopping of daemons ourselves, which wasn't
63 happening in the {pre,post}rm scripts.
64 * Vary the priority of the debconf question "Do you want to generate
65 /etc/samba/smbpassd?" depending on whether the file already exists.
66 File exists -> priority 'medium', file does not exist -> priority
67 'low'. Changed priorities of all other questions from 'high' to 'medium'.

71 samba (2.2.3a-6) unstable; urgency=low
73 * Call db_stop as soon as we're done with debconf in the postinst, to
74 avoid hanging bugs (closes: #137813)
75 * Ony call 'update-inetd --add' on first installation, just as we only
76 call 'update-inetd --remove' on package purge.
77 * Bring our shipped smb.conf closer in line with the upstream
78 defaults: don't twiddle the send/recv buffer sizes, since the Linux
79 kernel already provides a much better default setting
80 (closes: #80966, #80934, #137415, #133477)
81 * Added libnss_wins.so to the winbind package (closes: #137201)
82 * Updates to README.debian.

102 samba (2.2.3a-3) unstable; urgency=medium
104 * Make sure /etc/init.d/samba is executable before calling it
105 in the postinst. Quickly checked all other maintainer scripts
106 to make sure we are not calling an init script if it is not
107 executable. (closes: #137321)
108 * Fix up maintainer scripts to detect if samba was not running before
109 an upgrade. (closes: #33520, #130534)
110 * Make sure /etc/samba/ is included in the samba-common package.

115 samba (2.2.3a-2) unstable; urgency=low
117 * merge in debconf support:
118 - Moved all smb.conf-related questions to samba-common (smb.conf
119 is part of the samba-common package, not the samba package.)
120 - smb.conf is not a samba-common conffile anymore since it is
121 being managed by debconf. It is ABSOLUTELY necessary to make
122 sure /etc/samba/smb.conf _NEVER_ gets overwritten by changes
123 made via debconf. In other words, any changes made by the user
124 should be honored by the debconf interface.
125 - samba.postinst now moves old log files from /var/log/ to
126 /var/log/samba/. There's a Debconf note that informs the user
127 the log files are stored now in a new location.
129 + Make samba depend on debconf.
130 - New file debian/samba.templates.
131 - New file debian/samba.config.
132 - Re-worked debian/samba.postinst.
133 + Got rid of all /etc/samba/debian_config sillyness.
134 - remove /usr/sbin/sambaconfig; "dpkg-reconfigure samba" replaces
136 - Removed debian/samba.prerm.
137 - Cleaned up /etc/init.d/samba.
138 + Added infrastructure for debconf.
139 + Got rid of all /etc/samba/debian_config sillyness.
140 + Got rid of /etc/samba/smbpasswd conversion stuff for
141 compatibility with versions of Samba < 2.0.0final-2.
142 (closes: #127959, #34408, #113594)
143 * make samba.postinst ignore the absence of /var/log/{s,n}mb*;
144 makes for a clean upgrade path.
145 * Building with MSDFS support (closes: #116793)

149 samba (2.2.3a-1) unstable; urgency=low
151 * New upstream version (closes: #135001)
152 * Potato builds were failing because debian/rules was not creating
153 debian/winbind/etc/logrotate.d/. A user having problems creating
154 Potato packages brought this to my attention. dh_installlogrotate
155 takes care of creating the directory for us, that's why we didn't
157 * Removed code that converts /etc/samba/smbpasswd from an ancient
158 format to the new format of Samba 2.0.0 and later.
159 Closes: #134375 - samba: postinst failed due to missing
160 /usr/bin/convert_smbpasswd.
161 * Re-organized FHS migration code in samba.postinst. Make sure we
162 don't fail when we move files that don't exist.
163 Closes: #133813 - samba: Install failed.
164 * Adding docs. to the libpam-smbpass package.
165 * Remove man pages for findsmb because we are not providing this
167 Closes: #134181 - findsmb referenced, but not included.
168 * Removed replace.patch because it is now present upstream.
169 * Added patch from Jerry Carter to fix a problem when saving
170 document preferences for printing from NT clients.
171 * The real winbindd daemon is a forked process so we can't use
172 --make-pidfile when calling start-stop-daemon. Fixed
173 /etc/init.d/winbind to work around the issue. Thanks to
174 Lin Li <linl@xandros.com> for the patience and for reporting
175 the problems. Hopefully I got it right this time.

191 /var/state/samba/ no longer exists. Better get this fix into the
192 next upload. ;) (Closes: #133088)
193 * Regenerate configure only if it is older than configure.in.
194 * Fix smbd handling of network neighborhood lists, which was missed
195 in the FHS conversion (Closes: #133091)

201 * FHS cleanup; files in /var are now properly sorted according to
202 their nature. (Closes: #102101)
203 * Remove patches to source/configure, since we now call autoconf to
204 regenerate this file cleanly.
206 - Create winbind.conffiles and add /etc/logrotate.d/winbind and
207 /etc/init.d/winbind to it.
208 - Use a relative symlink for /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb.
209 - Removal of a .cvsignore file in the samba-doc package.
210 * winbind.init fixes:
211 - Corrected name of the pid file (Steve)
212 - Make start-stop-daemon create a pid file for winbindd since it
213 does not create one on his own.
214 * #DEBHELPER# is not needed in samba.postinst because we are adding
215 manually everything that debhelper adds automatically. In fact,
216 since we are calling update-rc.d without standard paramaters I
217 think we can't use #DEBHELPER#.

224 * work on lintian-cleanness in the package (wrong permissions,

226 * /lib/security/pam_smbpass.so is now being included in the
227 libpam-smbpass package only, and not in both the libpam-smbpass and
228 samba packages (which was the case prior to 2.2.3-3.)
229 * Instead of making our patch scripts executable in the rules file
230 we run them through /bin/sh.
231 * New 'winbind' package that has all the winbind stuff that was in the
232 samba package in 2.2.3-2 and before.
233 * Added replace.patch: patch from Jeremy Allison to fix problems when
234 replacing or overwriting files in a Samba share. Patch was sent to
235 the samba mailing list.

241 * add support to debian/scripts/{patch-source,unpatch-source} for
242 automatic updating and cleaning of <version.h>. This was a request
243 from the Samba Team: they wanted us to clearly mark our packages
244 so it is always known a user is running Samba with (possibly)
245 Debian-specific patches.
246 * Change init.d killscript link to K19samba, so we stop before autofs

288 Closes: #106976 - smbd/nmbd not running message with swat/linuxconf.

295 * smbmount in the smbfs package does not have the setuid bit set.

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

498 * Steve Langasek <vorlon@netexpress.net> has been hard at work in
499 the last few days looking at the long list of open bugs filed
500 against the Samba packages. I don't know how to thank him. It's been
501 a pleasure working with Steve, and all the fixes, patches, etc. in
502 this release come from him. The bug list is greatly reduced thanks
504 * Steve's additions/modifications/patches/etc. are:
505 - New package that (libpam-smbpass) provides pam_smbpass. Before, this
506 was provided in another package but now the sources are part of
507 the Samba sources so we can start providing it from here.
508 Closes: #107043 - pam_smbpass now present in Samba source,
509 should be built from there
510 - Patch to source/smbd/service.c that allows admins to call
511 /bin/umount from the root postexec of a Samba share.
512 Closes: #40561 - samba pre/postexec commands do not work.
513 - Clear TMPDIR before starting smbd in /etc/init.d/samba.
514 Closes: #51295 - Problems with Samba and TMPDIR.
515 - Correction to documentation of "guest only".
516 Closes #38282 - "guest only" share still requires a password.
517 * Applied patch from Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es> to convert
518 /usr/sbin/mksmbpasswd from a shell script into a real awk script.
519 Sorry it took so long, Santiago; I hadn't realized you even
521 Closes: #77891 - mksmbpasswd could be a real awk script.
522 * Updated description of the smbfs and smbclient packages. Also have
523 each package recommend the other.
524 Closes: #108650: Should suggest or recommend smbfs.

728 * Release manager: this closes a RC bug.
729 * Commented out the section in source/configure.in that auto-detects
730 CUPS support and then ran autoconf to generate a new configure
731 script. This was done to prevent machines that have libcupsys-dev
732 installed from detecting CUPS support and adding an unwanted
733 dependency on libcupsys. This way the whole printing system
734 won't break on upgrades. CUPS support should be added after
736 Closes: #65185: samba-common: Upgrading removes printing system.

751 to the Open Source community. The book was included in Samba 2.0.7
752 in HTML format and is part of the Debian Samba package since
754 * In Samba 2.0.7-1, the "Using Samba" book and a number of HTML help
755 files were supposed to be provided in both the swat and the samba-doc
756 packages. This duplication was a waste of space. Starting with
757 Samba 2.0.7-2, swat recommends samba-doc and the book and the HTML
758 files are included only in samba-doc, and are accessed via symlinks
760 Closes: #58810: superfluous files in swat?
761 * Added a 'echo "."' to /etc/init.d/samba in the reload) section.

764 Closes: #64344: typo "encrypted passwords"
765 * Cleaned up samba's postrm script so important common files aren't
766 deleted when samba is purged. Created a samba-common.postrm script.

789 This is not a bug, it's just Samba doing the same thing an NT server
790 does. See WHATSNEW.txt and smb.conf's man page for details.

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

847 samba (2.0.6-4) frozen unstable; urgency=low
849 * It seems that sometimes nmbd or smbd are not killed when upgrading.
850 I think it is because in samba's prerm script I was calling
851 start-stop-daemon with the --pidfile switch and in old versions of
852 Samba the nmbd and smbd daemons did not store their PIDs in a file in
853 /var/samba/. I changed debian/samba.prerm so the existence of the
854 PID files is checked before calling "start-stop-daemon --pidfile ..."
855 If the PID files do not exist then start-stop-daemon is called
856 without the --pidfile parameter.
857 (Closes: #58058 - upgrade from slink went badly)
858 * Fixed typo in description of swat package in debian/control.
859 * Installed libcupsys1-dev so the configure script picks up CUPS
860 and Samba is compiled with CUPS support. Also added libcupsys1 to
861 the Depends: list of package samba in debian/control.
862 (Closes: #59038 - samba not compiled with cups support)

872 (release-critical). Wichert: please test as I never could reproduce

875 * Moved samba-docs to the 'docs' section.
876 (Closes: #51077 - samba-doc: wrong section)
877 * Added reload capability to /etc/init.d/samba (only for smbd because
878 nmbd does not support reloading after receiving a signal).
879 (Closes: #50954 - patch to add reload support to /etc/init.d/samba)
880 * Corrected "passwd chat" parameter in sample /etc/samba/smb.conf so
881 Unix password syncronization works with the passwd program currently
882 in Potato. Thanks to Augustin Luton <aluton@hybrigenics.fr> for
883 the correct chat script.
884 * Stole source/lib/util_sec.c from the CVS tree of what will become
885 Samba 2.0.7 or whatever so we can use the same binaries under
886 both 2.0.x and 2.2.x kernels.

888 * smbadduser is now provided as an example and it's customized for Debian.

890 a dependency on csh, something that I don't want to do.

908 is still experimental in Samba). I added the parameters "syslog = 0"
909 and "syslog only = no" to the sample smb.conf to avoid pestering
910 users that do not want Samba to log through syslog.
911 (Closes: Bug#50703 - syslog only option doesn't work)
912 * Removed the stupid code in the smbmount wrapper script that tries
913 to load the smbfs module if smbfs is not listed in /proc/filesystems.
914 (Closes: Bug#50759 - Non-root can't run smbmount if SMBFS is compiled
915 as a module in the kernel)
916 * Added /bin/mount.smb as a symlink pointing to /usr/bin/smbmount so
917 'mount -t smb ...' works just as 'mount -t smbfs ...'.
918 (Closes: Bug#50763 - 'mount -t smb' doesn't work)

922 samba (2.0.6-1) unstable; urgency=low
924 * Samba 2.0.6 has been released. This is the first try of the Debian
925 Samba packages. I know for sure that smbd won't work properly on
926 2.0.x kernels because the patch that Wichert sent me does not apply
927 to the new source/lib/util_sec.c in Samba 2.0.6. That file was
928 completely re-written by Tridge.
929 * Updated README.Debian.
930 * A new client utility called smbspool appeared in Samba 2.0.6. I added
931 this utility to the smbclient package, although I haven't tried it yet.
932 * Added the symlink /sbin/mount.smbfs that points to /usr/bin/smbmount.
933 This is to be able to type "mouont -t smbfs ...". This symlink goes
934 in the smbfs package, of course.
935 * This new release should close the following bugs (some of these
936 are fixed for sure in this new upstream release, some others I could
937 not reproduce but I believe they are fixed if they were real bugs.

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

968 samba (2.0.5a-5) unstable; urgency=low
970 * I am sorry to report that the smbwrapper package is gone for the
971 moment. The reason for this is twofold: first of all, smbwrapper
972 is completely broken in Samba-2.0.5a (it compiles but it doesn't
973 run) and in the upcoming Samba-2.0.6 it doesn't even compile. Second,
974 when I asked Andrew Tridgell (father of Samba) about the state of
975 smbwrapper he told me that Ulrich Drepper (head of the glibc project)
976 broke on purpose the glibc stuff in which smbwrapper is based.
977 Consequently, Tridge recommended me to compile Samba without
978 support for smbwrapper. When, I have no idea. Sorry folks. Here is
979 the original message I received from Andrew:
981 > 1) 2.0.5a's smbwrapper doesn't work under glibc2.1, and pre-2.0.6's
982 > smbwrapper doesn't even compile under glibc2.1.
984 yep, Ulrich deliberately broke it. It won't get fixed till glibc
985 allows the sorts of games it plays to work again. I suggest you turn
986 it off in your build scripts until that gets sorted out.
988 * Swat's file are now in /usr/share/samba/ instead of
989 /usr/lib/samba/ (bug #49011).
990 * Man pages now in /usr/share/man/ instead of /usr/man/ (bug #49011).

994 samba (2.0.5a-4) unstable; urgency=low
996 * Applied patch from our fearless leader (Wichert) to fix the darn bug
997 that prevents Samba to work on 2.0.x kernels if it was compiled
998 in a system running a 2.2.x kernel. This closes #40645 (build uses
999 setresuid which doesn't work under 2.0.34 (does apparently under
1001 * Fixed the entry that swat's postinst script adds to /etc/inetd.conf
1002 so it is '#<off># swat\t\tstream\ttcp\tnowait.400 ...' instead of
1003 '#<off>#swat\t\tstream\ttcp\tnowait.400 ...'. The old way caused
1004 'update-inetd --enable swat' to leave the entry for swat disabled.
1005 Thanks to Dave Burchell <burchell@inetnebr.com> for finding out
1006 this problem. This closes #48762 (swat uses non-standard syntax to
1007 comment out inetd.conf entry).
1008 * /usr/sbin/swat does not think anymore that the smbd daemon lives
1009 in /usr/local/samba/bin/. To fix this I am running now source/configure
1010 with "--prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr". This closes #47716 (samba
1011 'swat' fails: incorrect hardwired path in the binary).

1015 samba (2.0.5a-3) unstable; urgency=low
1017 * I am pretty darn busy with my MBA, I apologize for the long time it's
1018 taking to squash bugs in the Samba packages.
1019 * Built with debhelper v2 for FHS compliancy. Changed a couple of
1020 things in debian/rules to accomodate for the new place for the docs.
1021 I also had to change debian/{samba.postinst,samba.prerm,swat.postinst}
1022 to make sure that the symlink from /usr/doc/xxx exists and points to
1023 /usr/share/doc/xxx (the reason for this is that I am not letting
1024 debhelper to create these scripts for me automatically).
1025 * Built with latest libc6.
1026 * smbfs: finally, the nasty bug that causes smbmount to die after
1027 a while is gone thanks to Ben Tilly <Ben_Tilly@trepp.com>.
1028 The problem was just a typo in source/client/smbmount.c.
1029 This closes grave bug #42764 (smbmount dies) and #43341
1030 (smbfs-2.2.x won't function after a while).
1031 * Fixed the smbmount wrapper script to eliminate a bashism (closes
1032 #45202 - "wrapper scripts use $* instead of "$@") and to recognize
1033 2.3.x and 2.4.x kernels (closes #47688 - "smbfs: does not recognize
1035 * Added a check to the smbmount wrapper script to see if the
1036 kernel has support for smbfs, as suggested by Jeroen Schaap
1037 <J.Schaap@physiology.medfac.leidenuniv.nl>.
1038 * swat's man page is now part of the swat package, not of the samba
1039 package. This closes #44808 (Samba has a man page for swat, but
1040 the binary is not included).
1041 * The interface program smbrun is not longer needed by smbd because
1042 of the availability of execl() under Linux. Because of this, the
1043 smbrun is not even being compiled. Since there is no need for smbrun
1044 now, the smbrun man page was taken out of the samba package. This
1045 closes #45266 (/usr/bin/smbrun missing).
1046 * smbpasswd is now part of the samba-common package, and not part of
1047 the samba package. This is to let administrators that do not want
1048 to install a full Samba server administer passwords in remote
1049 machines. This closes bug #42624 (smbpasswd should be included in
1050 smbclient). This bug report also suggests that swat becomes part of
1051 the samba package, that smbfs becomes part of the smbclient package,
1052 and that the binary smbpasswd becomes part of the smbclient package.
1053 I moved smbpasswd to the samba-common package but I am reluctant to
1054 do the other things the bug report suggests.
1055 * In order to keep dpkg happy when moving smbpasswd from the samba
1056 package to samba-common, I had to add a "Replaces: samba (<= 2.0.5a-2)"
1057 in the control section of the samba-common package and a
1058 "Replaces: samba-common (<= 2.0.5a-2)" in the control section of the
1059 samba package (in debian.control).
1060 * Samba is now being compiled with the "--with-netatalk" option. This
1061 closes #47480 (Could samba be compiled with the --with-netatalk option).
1062 * All packages that depend on samba-common have a versioned dependency
1063 now. This was accomplished by adding "(= ${Source-Version})" to the
1064 relevant sections of debian/control. Thanks t Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho
1065 <gaia@iki.fi> for the hint. This closes #42985 (samba should probably
1066 have a versioned depends on samba-common).
1067 * Made sure the file docs/textdocs/DIAGNOSIS.txt gets installed in all
1068 the Samba packages. This closes bug #42049 (no DIAGNOSTICS.txt file).
1069 * Added the smbadduser helper script to the samba package. This closes
1070 #44480 (Samba doesn't come with the smbadduser program).
1071 * Applied patch from szasz@triton.sch.bme.hu that prevents smbmount
1072 to leave an entry in /etc/mtab for a share that could not be mounted
1073 because of invalid user of password. The patch also allows smbumount
1074 to unmount the share in the event that something goes wrong with the
1075 smbmount process. This closes bug #48613 (Mount/umount problems +
1076 patch) as well as #44130 (failed mount is still mounted).
1077 * smbmount-2.2.x is now setuid root. This is needed for the patch
1078 applied above to be effective. If smbmount-2.2.x is not setuid root
1079 then an entry will be left in /etc/mtab even when the mount
1080 fails. I had to add "usr/bin/smbmount-2.2.x" to debian/smbfs.suid

1095 * I'm back from the Honey Moon. We are pretty busy because we are moving
1096 to Pittsburgh (from Caracas, Venezuela) in aprox. 24 hours and we still
1097 have plenty of things to pack and to do. Samba 2.0.5 was released
1098 while I was in the Honey Moon and it is just now (almost 3 AM) when
1099 I have time to package it.
1100 * Because of the security problems fixed in 2.0.5, this upload goes
1101 to both stable and unstable (the Security Team asked for this).
1102 * This release (2.0.5a-1) was compiled on a Slink system. 2.0.5a-2 will
1103 be compiled on a Potato system.
1104 * Added a "Replaces: samba (<= 1.9.18p10-7)" to the samba-common
1105 section in debian/control (as suggested by Steve Haslam
1106 <araqnid@debian.org>) to fix the problems that appear when upgrading
1107 from the Samba package in Slink. Please test this as I am completely
1108 unable to do so. This should fix bug #39818 (Upgrading Samba from the

1111 order to have defined several socket options when compiling with
1112 Linux 2.2.x kernel headers - the fix is now upstream.
1113 * Finally!!! smbmount was re-written (thanks Tridge :-) to use a command
1114 line syntax similar to the one used by the old smbmount (for 2.0.x
1115 kernels). This means that the wrapper script is no longer necessary
1116 so I removed it. In its place there is a simple wrapper script that
1117 calls smbmount-2.0.x or smbmount-2.2.x depending on the kernel that is

1134 * Dark (and archive maintainers): please remove from Potato the smbfsx
1135 binary package and also the old source package for smbfs. smbfs and
1136 smbfsx have been merged starting with this version.
1137 * Merged the old smbfs package with Samba. Now there is only one package
1138 for the smbfs utilities and is called "smbfs". The package smbfsx
1139 does not exist any more and this new smbfs package must be used
1140 for both 2.0.x and > 2.1.x kernels.
1141 * A wrapper script was added to handle the syntax change in smbmount
1142 in the new smbfs utilities (required for kernels > 2.1.70). The
1143 home page for this script is http://www.wittsend.com/mhw/smbmount.html.
1144 Please _note_ that this will change (for good) in Samba 2.0.5 :-)
1145 * Added debian/smbumount.sh. It's another wrapper that calls smbumount-2.2.x
1146 or smbumount-2.0.x depending on the kernel currently running.
1147 * Not using -t for savelog in cron.weekly script.
1148 * Recompiled without libreadlineg-dev (Samba does not seem to be using
1149 it so unnecessary dependencies are produced).
1151 * Removed smbpasswd.8 man page from the debian/ directory because it is
1152 now being provided upstream.

1154 IPTOS_LOWDELAY and IPTOS_THROUGHPUT defined. Now I patched the

1163 #33838 (Amanda/ Samba 2.0.2 and backing up large filesystems) and
1164 #33867 (Amanda 2.4.1 and Samba 2.0.2 and large filesystems). Jeremy
1165 Allison released Samba 2.0.4 and found out that there were a couple
1166 of minor bugs so he released 2.0.4a. Then he found out about more
1167 serious bugs and released 2.0.4b. I have built this package several
1168 times between yesterday and today because of this. Now I am releasing
1169 the Debian packages for Samba with what I believe will be the latest
1170 release the Samba Team will make at least in the next 4 days (Jeremy
1171 is taking a short vacation).
1172 * Still compiling against glibc2.0 (sorry about that :-)
1173 * Hacked source/smbwrapper/smbsh.c to fix the problem
1174 of smbsh not finding the shared library smbwrapper.so. It looks
1175 now in /usr/lib/samba/ for this file. This fixes #32971, #32989,
1176 #33278, #34911 and #36317.
1177 * Made smbfsx depend on samba-common because smbfsx uses /etc/samba/smb.conf
1178 and /etc/samba/codepages/. This fixes #33128 (smbmount complains about
1179 missing /etc/smb.conf).
1180 * Package swat does not depend on httpd anymore (there's no need to).
1181 This fixes #35795 (swat requires httpd).
1182 * Renamed smbmount-2.1.x and smbumount-2.1.x to smbmount-2.2.x and
1183 smbumount-2.2.x. Same applies to the man pages.
1184 * Changed minor type in smbmount's man page (changed "\"" by "\'"). This
1185 fixes #34070 (wrong quotes in manpage).
1186 * Used Fabrizio Polacco's <fpolacco@icenet.fi> procedure to create the
1187 Debian package for Samba. This closes #35781 (samba has no pristine
1189 * Changes to /etc/cron.weely/samba: rotate /var/log/{nmb,smb}.old only
1190 if the size of either is different than 0. Also, added comments at the
1191 beginning of this script to explain how rotation of log files works in
1192 Samba. Thanks to ujr@physik.phy.tu-dresden.de (Ulf Jaenicke-Roessler)
1193 for the suggestions. This closes #37490 (cron.weekly script rotates not
1194 used [sn]mb.old files). As I side effect, this should also close
1195 #31462 (still trouble with /etc/cron.weekly/samba).
1196 * Check for old /etc/pam.d/samba file which is not provided by this version
1197 of the Debian Samba package but was provided in older versions. If this
1198 file exists we delete it. We check for this in the postinst. This closes
1199 #37356 (samba put stuff in pam.d that pam complains about) and #34312
1200 (libpam0g: questions during upgrade).
1201 * Make sure the mode of /etc/samba/smbpasswd is set to 600. This is done
1202 in the postinst script. This closes #35730 (Security problem with
1203 /etc/samba/smbpasswd when upgrading from samba 1.9.18p8-2 to 2.0.3-1).
1204 * I have just checked and it looks like #28748 (smbfsx doesn't "return ")
1205 has been fixed. This might have been fixed since a long time ago.
1206 * Long long standing bug #18488 (smbclient: internal tar is broken) is
1207 closed in this release of Samba. The bug might have been closed for a
1208 long long time, but I did not check for this before.
1209 * Temporary fix to the annoying "Unknown socket option IPTOS_LOWDELAY"
1210 message. This fixes #33698 (socket option IPTOS_LOWDELAY no longer works),
1211 #34148 (warnings from smbd) and #35333 (samba warnings).

1275 * Finally!!! The first upload to unstable. Sorry for the delay folks
1276 but I have been quite busy lately :-) Another reason for the delay
1277 is that I wanted to ease the migration from Samba 1.9.18p10 and
1278 before to Samba 2.0.0. I changed the location of the config. files
1279 from /etc/ to /etc/samba/ and this made things a little bit harder.
1280 * This package needs 2.2 kernel headers to compile (well, this is
1281 true for the smbfsx package, all others compile fine with 2.0 kernel
1283 * Created a preinst script for the samba package to take care of the
1284 location migration of smb.conf (from /etc/ to /etc/samba/). The
1285 preinst script also takes care of moving /etc/smbpasswd to its new
1286 location (/etc/samba/).

1295 to convert the smbpasswd from the old format used in version prior
1296 to 2.0.0 to the new one used in 2.0.0 and beyond.

1337 * This new version fixes the potential security problem that
1338 was posted to debian-private (using the "message command" parameter
1339 to execute arbitrary commands from messages sent from LinPopUp).
1340 * Changed /etc/init.d/samba to use one of the variables stored in

1348 samba (2.0.0beta1-1) experimental; urgency=low
1350 * First beta release of the samba-2.0.0 code. Before the beta I was
1351 working with sources downloaded directly from the CVS server. This
1352 package goes into experimental and I plan to release the new
1353 samba to unstable as soon as it gets out of beta.
1354 * Created several packages out of the Samba sources. They are:
1355 samba (nmbd and smbd daemons + related programs), smbclient (FTP
1356 like command line utility to retrieve files from SMB servers),
1357 swat (Samba Web Administration Tool), samba-common (common files
1358 used by samba, smbclient and swat), smbfsx (smbfs utilities for
1359 kernels >= 2.1.70), smbwrapper and samba-doc (Samba documentation).
1360 * Refreshed debian/samba-doc.docs so recently added docs. are
1361 installed in the samba-doc package. New additions include man
1362 pages in the /usr/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/ directory.
1363 * Deleted Debian specific nmblookup(1) man page as it is now upstream.
1364 * Added smbtorture to smbclient package.
1365 * Moved rpcclient from the samba package to the smbclient package.
1366 * The Samba daemons (nmbd and smbd) now create a PID file so I changed
1367 all calls to start-stop-daemon to use the PID file.
1368 * Fixed debian/rules to install mksmbpasswd (fixes #27655).
1369 * Modified /etc/init.d/samba so nmbd is started without the -a (append
1370 to the log file instead of overwrite) switch. The new behavior of
1371 nmbd is to NOT overwrite log files, so the -a switch can be deleted
1373 * Moved from debstd to debhelper.

1380 the one I was trying to fix: in /etc/init.d/samba I got rid of the test
1381 that tells us whether the Samba daemons are running from inetd or as
1382 standalone daemons. I corrected the problem by editing again
1383 /etc/init.d/samba to uncomment the test.

1420 * New upstream version (see /usr/doc/samba/WHATSNEW.txt for a
1421 description of what has changed). I built a 1.9.18p9-1 but I
1422 never released it because an obscure bug was found just a couple
1423 of days before the official release, so the Samba Team stopped
1424 the rollover of 1.9.18p9.
1425 * Updated documentation (new files were added to the docs/ directory
1426 that were not installed in /usr/doc/samba/).
1427 * Fixed long standing bug #7695 (smb.conf's man page doesn't document
1428 'printing=lprng') - I made a couple of changes to the man page to
1429 include references to lprng.
1430 * Fixes bug #24930 (samba needs to suggest psmisc?). I don't think it
1431 is necessary to make samba suggest psmisc just because the postinst
1432 script mentions to call killall. So, I removed all references to
1433 "killall" in the scripts.
1434 * Fixes bug #25999 (Samba does not by default work with unix password
1435 sync): I added the "passwd program" and "passwd chat" parameters to
1436 the sample smb.conf to reflect the Debian environment.

1453 "grave" bug #23903 (samba maps username before authenicating with
1454 NT password server).
1455 * Added a "sleep 2" between "start-stop-daemon --stop" and
1456 "start-stop-daemon --start" in /etc/init.d/samba so when this script
1457 is called with the "restart" parameter the Samba daemons are restarted
1458 properly. This fixes bug #24211 (init.d script doesn't restart).
1459 * Sent start-stop-daemon output in /etc/init.d/samba to /dev/null to
1460 avoid annoying warning messages.
1461 * Added perfomance tune parameters to sample /etc/smb.conf (SO_SNDBUF=4096

1476 not catch this problem before final 1.9.18p8).
1477 * Made /etc/init.d/samba to print out a warning when Samba is running
1478 from inetd and the user runs /etc/init.d/samba to start|stop|restart
1479 Samba (there's no point on doing this because inetd will start the

1558 * New upstream version that fixes several bugs.
1559 * New scheme for keeping track of Debian specific configuration.
1560 This new scheme fixes bug #18624 (Samba always asks the user about
1561 configuration options). New scheme stores Debian specific
1562 configuration information in /etc/samba/debian_config.
1563 * Changes to /usr/sbin/sambaconfig, prerm and postinst to support the
1564 new configuration scheme.
1565 * Moved required kernel 2.1.x include files inside the source tree
1566 so I don't have to do very nasty things like creating crazy
1567 symlinks in /usr/include to make this package compile. This
1568 allows non-root users to build the package and fixes bug
1570 * Fixed address of the FSF in /usr/doc/samba/copyright (problem
1571 reported by lintian).
1572 * The /etc/init.d/samba script now supports the force-reload
1573 argument, as required by the policy (problem reported by lintian).
1574 * Added a "rm /etc/cron.weekly/samba" at the end of the postinst.
1575 * Now the samba package can be installed even if no nmbd or smbd processes
1576 are running. This fixes the following bugs: #8917, #9334, #10268,
1577 #10411, #11146 and #13387.
1578 * Provides the original README in /usr/doc/samba. This fixes bug #9693.
1579 * Added a --no-reload option to sambaconfig to not reload Samba
1580 after configuration.
1581 * Created man pages for sambaconfig(8), addtosmbpass(8),
1582 mksmbpasswd(8) and nmblookup(1).
1583 * Corrected small typo in sample /etc/smb.conf.
1584 * Added two new parameters to /etc/smb.conf: "preserver case" and
1585 "short preserve case".
1586 * "rm -Rf /var/lock/samba" in postrm when package is being purged.
1587 * Patched upstream source (nmbd.c) to not overwrite log files when
1588 nmbd is called with the -a parameter (fixes #17704: nmbd ignores

1604 with -m in debian/rules (man pages are installed by "make install"
