202 - Handle an empty 'passdb backend' list gracefully (closes: #193946).

576 * Getting ready for Samba 2.2.5.
577 * Remove patches/parse_spoolss.patch, now included upstream.
578 * Fixed thinko WRT POSIX ACL support, which we "half-enabled" in
579 2.2.4-1. We don't use POSIX ACL support ourselves, so we'd
580 appreciate reports from those using this feature so we can

583 functionality. (closes: #131571)
584 * Look for secrets.tdb in /var/lib/samba, and handle in the postinst.
585 This is not really a config file, because users don't edit it.

598 * Add a proper 'flags' field to the mount entry we write to /etc/mtab;
599 fixes a display bug with mount (closes: #140397)
600 * Added logic to /etc/init.d/samba so a help message is printed out
601 when Samba is running from inetd _and_ we are not booting, i.e. the
602 user called the init script manually. Thanks to Francesco
603 Potorti <pot@gnu.org> for the suggestion on how to implement this.
604 (Closes: #139807, #140204)
605 * samba.postinst: added logic so we don't call /etc/init.d/samba if
606 we are running from inetd (this prevents the stupid help message
607 to be printed during package upgrades if we are running from inetd.)
609 * /etc/init.d/samba: delete stale PID files after nmbd and smbd are
610 stopped. This prevents start-stop-daemon from printing an ugly
611 error message when called from '/etc/init.d/samba stop'. I prefer
612 this than running start-stop-daemon with --oknodo because
613 start-stop-daemon might print other important error messages that with
614 --oknodo it would otherwise not print. (Closes: #102187, #109301)

621 * More README.debian updates.
622 * Neutralize the smb.conf 'lock dir' directive, which doesn't mean
623 what the FHS says it should, and causes us no end of grief.
625 * LPRng-handling patch so that jobs printed to recent versions of
626 LPRng show up properly as 'done' instead of 'paused' in the Windows
627 print queue. Thanks to Jaroslav Serdula <serdula_jaroslav@vse.sk>
628 for this patch. (Closes: #139458)
629 * Applied patch from Urban Widmark <urban@teststation.com>
630 (smbfs upstream maintainer) to add a '-n' option to smbmount
631 that does the same as mount's '-n'. (Closes: #139590)
632 * Minor tweak to unpatch-source so we unpatch sources in the
633 reverse order we patched them.
634 * Don't depend on grep in samba.prerm to determine if Samba was
635 running before the upgrade starts.
636 * Tweak the wording of debconf templates.
637 * Incorporate debconf translations for French, Spanish and Portuguese;
638 thanks to Carlos Valdivia Yagüe <valyag@hotpop.com> (es),
639 Andre Luis Lopes <andrelop@ig.com.br> (pt_BR), and Philippe
640 Batailler and Denis Barbier <barbier@debian.org> (fr).
641 (closes: #142657, #142659, #141551, #141699, #141682)
642 * Fixed symlinks in the swat package so the point to /usr/share/doc/
643 instead of /usr/doc/. Added note to the description of the
644 swat packages that says that samba-doc must be installed for
645 the on-line documentation to work. Thanks to Torne Wuff
646 <torne@wolfpuppy.org.uk>. (Closes: #95437)
647 * 'dh_installinit -n' gives us no initscript handling -- we need to
648 handle all starting and stopping of daemons ourselves, which wasn't
649 happening in the {pre,post}rm scripts.
650 * Vary the priority of the debconf question "Do you want to generate
651 /etc/samba/smbpassd?" depending on whether the file already exists.
652 File exists -> priority 'medium', file does not exist -> priority
653 'low'. Changed priorities of all other questions from 'high' to 'medium'.

664 defaults: don't twiddle the send/recv buffer sizes, since the Linux

703 * merge in debconf support:
704 - Moved all smb.conf-related questions to samba-common (smb.conf
705 is part of the samba-common package, not the samba package.)
706 - smb.conf is not a samba-common conffile anymore since it is
707 being managed by debconf. It is ABSOLUTELY necessary to make
708 sure /etc/samba/smb.conf _NEVER_ gets overwritten by changes
709 made via debconf. In other words, any changes made by the user
710 should be honored by the debconf interface.
711 - samba.postinst now moves old log files from /var/log/ to
712 /var/log/samba/. There's a Debconf note that informs the user
713 the log files are stored now in a new location.
715 + Make samba depend on debconf.
716 - New file debian/samba.templates.
717 - New file debian/samba.config.
718 - Re-worked debian/samba.postinst.
719 + Got rid of all /etc/samba/debian_config sillyness.
720 - remove /usr/sbin/sambaconfig; "dpkg-reconfigure samba" replaces
722 - Removed debian/samba.prerm.
723 - Cleaned up /etc/init.d/samba.
724 + Added infrastructure for debconf.
725 + Got rid of all /etc/samba/debian_config sillyness.
726 + Got rid of /etc/samba/smbpasswd conversion stuff for
727 compatibility with versions of Samba < 2.0.0final-2.
728 (closes: #127959, #34408, #113594)

740 Potato packages brought this to my attention. dh_installlogrotate
741 takes care of creating the directory for us, that's why we didn't
743 * Removed code that converts /etc/samba/smbpasswd from an ancient
744 format to the new format of Samba 2.0.0 and later.
745 Closes: #134375 - samba: postinst failed due to missing
746 /usr/bin/convert_smbpasswd.
747 * Re-organized FHS migration code in samba.postinst. Make sure we
748 don't fail when we move files that don't exist.
749 Closes: #133813 - samba: Install failed.
750 * Adding docs. to the libpam-smbpass package.
751 * Remove man pages for findsmb because we are not providing this
753 Closes: #134181 - findsmb referenced, but not included.
754 * Removed replace.patch because it is now present upstream.
755 * Added patch from Jerry Carter to fix a problem when saving
756 document preferences for printing from NT clients.
757 * The real winbindd daemon is a forked process so we can't use
758 --make-pidfile when calling start-stop-daemon. Fixed
759 /etc/init.d/winbind to work around the issue. Thanks to
760 Lin Li <linl@xandros.com> for the patience and for reporting

798 - Make start-stop-daemon create a pid file for winbindd since it
799 does not create one on his own.
800 * #DEBHELPER# is not needed in samba.postinst because we are adding
801 manually everything that debhelper adds automatically. In fact,

980 This changes were introduced in 2.2.1a-7 as an attempt to fix #47493.
981 Tridge found out that they break smbd.
982 * Changed version number in source/includes/version.h so it is clear that
983 this is a version of Samba packaged for Debian. This is another request from
984 Tridge and will help the Samba Team to get bogus bug reports.
985 * Added Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf and other README files to the

1046 support. Together with the patch in #29957 (see changelog for

1056 were suggested by the energetic Steve Langasek <vorlon@debian.org>,
1057 and his arguments were so sound and reasonable that I decided

1060 * Fix up the build system to avoid needing to run configure
1061 as root to answer questions we already know the answers to.
1062 * In the process, make surprising progress towards being able to

1084 * Steve Langasek <vorlon@netexpress.net> has been hard at work in
1085 the last few days looking at the long list of open bugs filed
1086 against the Samba packages. I don't know how to thank him. It's been
1087 a pleasure working with Steve, and all the fixes, patches, etc. in
1088 this release come from him. The bug list is greatly reduced thanks
1090 * Steve's additions/modifications/patches/etc. are:
1091 - New package that (libpam-smbpass) provides pam_smbpass. Before, this
1092 was provided in another package but now the sources are part of
1093 the Samba sources so we can start providing it from here.
1094 Closes: #107043 - pam_smbpass now present in Samba source,
1095 should be built from there
1096 - Patch to source/smbd/service.c that allows admins to call
1097 /bin/umount from the root postexec of a Samba share.
1098 Closes: #40561 - samba pre/postexec commands do not work.
1099 - Clear TMPDIR before starting smbd in /etc/init.d/samba.
1100 Closes: #51295 - Problems with Samba and TMPDIR.
1101 - Correction to documentation of "guest only".
1102 Closes #38282 - "guest only" share still requires a password.
1103 * Applied patch from Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es> to convert
1104 /usr/sbin/mksmbpasswd from a shell script into a real awk script.
1105 Sorry it took so long, Santiago; I hadn't realized you even
1106 provided a patch :-)
1107 Closes: #77891 - mksmbpasswd could be a real awk script.
1108 * Updated description of the smbfs and smbclient packages. Also have
1109 each package recommend the other.
1110 Closes: #108650: Should suggest or recommend smbfs.

1413 samba (2.0.6-5) frozen unstable; urgency=low
1415 * Oppsss! samba-common doesn't depend on libcupsys1 so the binaries
1416 in this package are broken unless libcupsys1 is installed.
1417 samba-common has a "grave" bug because of this. Instead of adding
1418 libcupsys1 to the Depends: list of each package in debian/control
1419 I investigated why dh_shlibs was not picking the dependency
1420 automatically. It turns out that it's probably a bug in libcupsys1
1421 because the format of its shlibs file is not correct. I fixed that
1422 file (/var/lib/dpkg/info/libcupsys1.shlibs) and now dependencies are
1423 picked correctly. I'll talk to the libcupsys1 maintainer.
1425 I think the addition of CUPS support to Samba is a big change that
1426 should not go into Frozen. So, I decided to back up the addition
1427 of CUPS support I did in 2.0.6-4 to minimize problems. I'll add
1428 CUPS support again when I start working on Samba for Woody.

1433 samba (2.0.6-4) frozen unstable; urgency=low
1435 * It seems that sometimes nmbd or smbd are not killed when upgrading.
1436 I think it is because in samba's prerm script I was calling
1437 start-stop-daemon with the --pidfile switch and in old versions of
1438 Samba the nmbd and smbd daemons did not store their PIDs in a file in
1439 /var/samba/. I changed debian/samba.prerm so the existence of the
1440 PID files is checked before calling "start-stop-daemon --pidfile ..."
1441 If the PID files do not exist then start-stop-daemon is called
1442 without the --pidfile parameter.
1443 (Closes: #58058 - upgrade from slink went badly)
1444 * Fixed typo in description of swat package in debian/control.
1445 * Installed libcupsys1-dev so the configure script picks up CUPS
1446 and Samba is compiled with CUPS support. Also added libcupsys1 to
1447 the Depends: list of package samba in debian/control.
1448 (Closes: #59038 - samba not compiled with cups support)

1464 nmbd does not support reloading after receiving a signal).

1470 * Stole source/lib/util_sec.c from the CVS tree of what will become

1487 to reflect the change.
1488 (Closes: Bug#50722: pam pwdb dependence?).

1493 * Compiled with syslog support (use at your own risk: syslog support
1494 is still experimental in Samba). I added the parameters "syslog = 0"
1495 and "syslog only = no" to the sample smb.conf to avoid pestering
1496 users that do not want Samba to log through syslog.
1497 (Closes: Bug#50703 - syslog only option doesn't work)

1511 Samba packages. I know for sure that smbd won't work properly on
1512 2.0.x kernels because the patch that Wichert sent me does not apply
1513 to the new source/lib/util_sec.c in Samba 2.0.6. That file was
1514 completely re-written by Tridge.
1515 * Updated README.Debian.
1516 * A new client utility called smbspool appeared in Samba 2.0.6. I added
1517 this utility to the smbclient package, although I haven't tried it yet.
1518 * Added the symlink /sbin/mount.smbfs that points to /usr/bin/smbmount.

1540 module). To succesfully add PAM support, I created /etc/pam.d/samba and
1541 added this file as a conffile for the samba-common package. I also made
1542 samba-common depend on libpam-pwdb.
1543 * Added simple man pages for the wrapper scripts smbmount and smbmount.

1548 the kernel has support for smbfs, as suggested by Jeroen Schaap

1554 samba (2.0.5a-5) unstable; urgency=low
1556 * I am sorry to report that the smbwrapper package is gone for the
1557 moment. The reason for this is twofold: first of all, smbwrapper
1558 is completely broken in Samba-2.0.5a (it compiles but it doesn't
1559 run) and in the upcoming Samba-2.0.6 it doesn't even compile. Second,
1560 when I asked Andrew Tridgell (father of Samba) about the state of
1561 smbwrapper he told me that Ulrich Drepper (head of the glibc project)
1562 broke on purpose the glibc stuff in which smbwrapper is based.
1563 Consequently, Tridge recommended me to compile Samba without
1564 support for smbwrapper. When, I have no idea. Sorry folks. Here is
1565 the original message I received from Andrew:
1567 > 1) 2.0.5a's smbwrapper doesn't work under glibc2.1, and pre-2.0.6's
1568 > smbwrapper doesn't even compile under glibc2.1.
1570 yep, Ulrich deliberately broke it. It won't get fixed till glibc
1571 allows the sorts of games it plays to work again. I suggest you turn
1572 it off in your build scripts until that gets sorted out.

1585 setresuid which doesn't work under 2.0.34 (does apparently under
1587 * Fixed the entry that swat's postinst script adds to /etc/inetd.conf
1588 so it is '#<off># swat\t\tstream\ttcp\tnowait.400 ...' instead of
1589 '#<off>#swat\t\tstream\ttcp\tnowait.400 ...'. The old way caused
1590 'update-inetd --enable swat' to leave the entry for swat disabled.

1592 this problem. This closes #48762 (swat uses non-standard syntax to
1593 comment out inetd.conf entry).

1595 in /usr/local/samba/bin/. To fix this I am running now source/configure

1601 samba (2.0.5a-3) unstable; urgency=low
1603 * I am pretty darn busy with my MBA, I apologize for the long time it's
1604 taking to squash bugs in the Samba packages.
1605 * Built with debhelper v2 for FHS compliancy. Changed a couple of
1606 things in debian/rules to accomodate for the new place for the docs.
1607 I also had to change debian/{samba.postinst,samba.prerm,swat.postinst}
1608 to make sure that the symlink from /usr/doc/xxx exists and points to
1609 /usr/share/doc/xxx (the reason for this is that I am not letting
1610 debhelper to create these scripts for me automatically).
1611 * Built with latest libc6.
1612 * smbfs: finally, the nasty bug that causes smbmount to die after
1613 a while is gone thanks to Ben Tilly <Ben_Tilly@trepp.com>.
1614 The problem was just a typo in source/client/smbmount.c.
1615 This closes grave bug #42764 (smbmount dies) and #43341
1616 (smbfs-2.2.x won't function after a while).
1617 * Fixed the smbmount wrapper script to eliminate a bashism (closes
1618 #45202 - "wrapper scripts use $* instead of "$@") and to recognize
1619 2.3.x and 2.4.x kernels (closes #47688 - "smbfs: does not recognize
1621 * Added a check to the smbmount wrapper script to see if the
1622 kernel has support for smbfs, as suggested by Jeroen Schaap
1623 <J.Schaap@physiology.medfac.leidenuniv.nl>.
1624 * swat's man page is now part of the swat package, not of the samba
1625 package. This closes #44808 (Samba has a man page for swat, but
1626 the binary is not included).
1627 * The interface program smbrun is not longer needed by smbd because
1628 of the availability of execl() under Linux. Because of this, the
1629 smbrun is not even being compiled. Since there is no need for smbrun
1630 now, the smbrun man page was taken out of the samba package. This
1631 closes #45266 (/usr/bin/smbrun missing).
1632 * smbpasswd is now part of the samba-common package, and not part of
1633 the samba package. This is to let administrators that do not want
1634 to install a full Samba server administer passwords in remote
1635 machines. This closes bug #42624 (smbpasswd should be included in
1636 smbclient). This bug report also suggests that swat becomes part of
1637 the samba package, that smbfs becomes part of the smbclient package,
1638 and that the binary smbpasswd becomes part of the smbclient package.
1639 I moved smbpasswd to the samba-common package but I am reluctant to
1640 do the other things the bug report suggests.
1641 * In order to keep dpkg happy when moving smbpasswd from the samba
1642 package to samba-common, I had to add a "Replaces: samba (<= 2.0.5a-2)"
1643 in the control section of the samba-common package and a
1644 "Replaces: samba-common (<= 2.0.5a-2)" in the control section of the
1645 samba package (in debian.control).
1646 * Samba is now being compiled with the "--with-netatalk" option. This
1647 closes #47480 (Could samba be compiled with the --with-netatalk option).
1648 * All packages that depend on samba-common have a versioned dependency
1649 now. This was accomplished by adding "(= ${Source-Version})" to the
1650 relevant sections of debian/control. Thanks t Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho
1651 <gaia@iki.fi> for the hint. This closes #42985 (samba should probably
1652 have a versioned depends on samba-common).
1653 * Made sure the file docs/textdocs/DIAGNOSIS.txt gets installed in all
1654 the Samba packages. This closes bug #42049 (no DIAGNOSTICS.txt file).
1655 * Added the smbadduser helper script to the samba package. This closes
1656 #44480 (Samba doesn't come with the smbadduser program).
1657 * Applied patch from szasz@triton.sch.bme.hu that prevents smbmount
1658 to leave an entry in /etc/mtab for a share that could not be mounted
1659 because of invalid user of password. The patch also allows smbumount
1660 to unmount the share in the event that something goes wrong with the
1661 smbmount process. This closes bug #48613 (Mount/umount problems +
1662 patch) as well as #44130 (failed mount is still mounted).
1663 * smbmount-2.2.x is now setuid root. This is needed for the patch
1664 applied above to be effective. If smbmount-2.2.x is not setuid root
1665 then an entry will be left in /etc/mtab even when the mount
1666 fails. I had to add "usr/bin/smbmount-2.2.x" to debian/smbfs.suid

1721 binary package and also the old source package for smbfs. smbfs and
1722 smbfsx have been merged starting with this version.
1723 * Merged the old smbfs package with Samba. Now there is only one package
1724 for the smbfs utilities and is called "smbfs". The package smbfsx
1725 does not exist any more and this new smbfs package must be used
1726 for both 2.0.x and > 2.1.x kernels.

1728 in the new smbfs utilities (required for kernels > 2.1.70). The
1729 home page for this script is http://www.wittsend.com/mhw/smbmount.html.
1730 Please _note_ that this will change (for good) in Samba 2.0.5 :-)

1732 or smbumount-2.0.x depending on the kernel currently running.

1765 missing /etc/smb.conf).
1766 * Package swat does not depend on httpd anymore (there's no need to).
1767 This fixes #35795 (swat requires httpd).
1768 * Renamed smbmount-2.1.x and smbumount-2.1.x to smbmount-2.2.x and
1769 smbumount-2.2.x. Same applies to the man pages.
1770 * Changed minor type in smbmount's man page (changed "\"" by "\'"). This
1771 fixes #34070 (wrong quotes in manpage).
1772 * Used Fabrizio Polacco's <fpolacco@icenet.fi> procedure to create the
1773 Debian package for Samba. This closes #35781 (samba has no pristine
1775 * Changes to /etc/cron.weely/samba: rotate /var/log/{nmb,smb}.old only
1776 if the size of either is different than 0. Also, added comments at the
1777 beginning of this script to explain how rotation of log files works in
1778 Samba. Thanks to ujr@physik.phy.tu-dresden.de (Ulf Jaenicke-Roessler)
1779 for the suggestions. This closes #37490 (cron.weekly script rotates not
1780 used [sn]mb.old files). As I side effect, this should also close
1781 #31462 (still trouble with /etc/cron.weekly/samba).
1782 * Check for old /etc/pam.d/samba file which is not provided by this version
1783 of the Debian Samba package but was provided in older versions. If this
1784 file exists we delete it. We check for this in the postinst. This closes
1785 #37356 (samba put stuff in pam.d that pam complains about) and #34312
1786 (libpam0g: questions during upgrade).
1787 * Make sure the mode of /etc/samba/smbpasswd is set to 600. This is done
1788 in the postinst script. This closes #35730 (Security problem with
1789 /etc/samba/smbpasswd when upgrading from samba 1.9.18p8-2 to 2.0.3-1).
1790 * I have just checked and it looks like #28748 (smbfsx doesn't "return ")
1791 has been fixed. This might have been fixed since a long time ago.
1792 * Long long standing bug #18488 (smbclient: internal tar is broken) is
1793 closed in this release of Samba. The bug might have been closed for a
1794 long long time, but I did not check for this before.
1795 * Temporary fix to the annoying "Unknown socket option IPTOS_LOWDELAY"
1796 message. This fixes #33698 (socket option IPTOS_LOWDELAY no longer works),
1797 #34148 (warnings from smbd) and #35333 (samba warnings).

1804 * Removed the convert_smbpasswd.pl program I created and put in
1805 /usr/doc/samba/ because there's a convert_smbpasswd script in the
1806 upstream sources that does the same thing. I modified the postinst
1807 script to use this script instead of the one I created.

1813 * Updated the README.Debian file.

1815 * The binaries smbmnt and smbumount-2.1.x in the smbfsx package are now
1816 installed setuid root as they should be. This was done by doing a
1817 a "chmod u+s" for each binary in debian/rules and by creating the
1818 file debian/smbfsx.suid.
1819 * Minor patch to source/client/smbumount.c to allow normal users
1820 to umount what they have mounted (problem was a kernel vs. libc6
1821 size mismatch). I sent the patch upstream.
1822 * Created debian/smbwrapper.dirs so the directory /usr/lib/samba/ is
1824 * Modified debian/rules to move smbwrapper.so from debian/tmp/usr/bin/ to
1825 debian/smbwrapper/usr/lib/samba/.
1826 * Hacked source/smbwrapper/smbsh.c to fix the problem
1827 of smbsh not finding the shared library smbwrapper.so.

1859 samba (2.0.0final-2) unstable; urgency=low
1861 * Finally!!! The first upload to unstable. Sorry for the delay folks
1862 but I have been quite busy lately :-) Another reason for the delay
1863 is that I wanted to ease the migration from Samba 1.9.18p10 and
1864 before to Samba 2.0.0. I changed the location of the config. files
1865 from /etc/ to /etc/samba/ and this made things a little bit harder.
1866 * This package needs 2.2 kernel headers to compile (well, this is
1867 true for the smbfsx package, all others compile fine with 2.0 kernel
1869 * Created a preinst script for the samba package to take care of the
1870 location migration of smb.conf (from /etc/ to /etc/samba/). The
1871 preinst script also takes care of moving /etc/smbpasswd to its new
1872 location (/etc/samba/).
1873 * Created postinst and postrm scripts to add/remove an entry for swat
1875 * I had forgotten to install the sambaconfig script so I changed
1876 debian/rules to install this script.
1877 * Added a postrm script for the samba package (I had forgotten to add
1878 this script to the new Samba packages after the migration from 1.9.18
1880 * Created a small Perl script that is called from the samba postinst
1881 to convert the smbpasswd from the old format used in version prior
1882 to 2.0.0 to the new one used in 2.0.0 and beyond.
1883 * The upgrade process should be automatically now. Please let me know

1936 * First beta release of the samba-2.0.0 code. Before the beta I was
1937 working with sources downloaded directly from the CVS server. This
1938 package goes into experimental and I plan to release the new
1939 samba to unstable as soon as it gets out of beta.
1940 * Created several packages out of the Samba sources. They are:
1941 samba (nmbd and smbd daemons + related programs), smbclient (FTP
1942 like command line utility to retrieve files from SMB servers),
1943 swat (Samba Web Administration Tool), samba-common (common files
1944 used by samba, smbclient and swat), smbfsx (smbfs utilities for
1945 kernels >= 2.1.70), smbwrapper and samba-doc (Samba documentation).
1946 * Refreshed debian/samba-doc.docs so recently added docs. are
1947 installed in the samba-doc package. New additions include man
1948 pages in the /usr/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/ directory.
1949 * Deleted Debian specific nmblookup(1) man page as it is now upstream.
1950 * Added smbtorture to smbclient package.
1951 * Moved rpcclient from the samba package to the smbclient package.
1952 * The Samba daemons (nmbd and smbd) now create a PID file so I changed
1953 all calls to start-stop-daemon to use the PID file.
1954 * Fixed debian/rules to install mksmbpasswd (fixes #27655).
1955 * Modified /etc/init.d/samba so nmbd is started without the -a (append
1956 to the log file instead of overwrite) switch. The new behavior of
1957 nmbd is to NOT overwrite log files, so the -a switch can be deleted

2008 never released it because an obscure bug was found just a couple
2009 of days before the official release, so the Samba Team stopped
2010 the rollover of 1.9.18p9.
2011 * Updated documentation (new files were added to the docs/ directory
2012 that were not installed in /usr/doc/samba/).
2013 * Fixed long standing bug #7695 (smb.conf's man page doesn't document
2014 'printing=lprng') - I made a couple of changes to the man page to
2015 include references to lprng.
2016 * Fixes bug #24930 (samba needs to suggest psmisc?). I don't think it
2017 is necessary to make samba suggest psmisc just because the postinst
2018 script mentions to call killall. So, I removed all references to
2019 "killall" in the scripts.

2147 configuration options). New scheme stores Debian specific
2148 configuration information in /etc/samba/debian_config.

2150 new configuration scheme.
2151 * Moved required kernel 2.1.x include files inside the source tree
2152 so I don't have to do very nasty things like creating crazy
2153 symlinks in /usr/include to make this package compile. This
2154 allows non-root users to build the package and fixes bug

2157 reported by lintian).
2158 * The /etc/init.d/samba script now supports the force-reload
2159 argument, as required by the policy (problem reported by lintian).
2160 * Added a "rm /etc/cron.weekly/samba" at the end of the postinst.
2161 * Now the samba package can be installed even if no nmbd or smbd processes
2162 are running. This fixes the following bugs: #8917, #9334, #10268,

2165 * Added a --no-reload option to sambaconfig to not reload Samba
2166 after configuration.
2167 * Created man pages for sambaconfig(8), addtosmbpass(8),
2168 mksmbpasswd(8) and nmblookup(1).

2195 samba (1.9.18p2-2) unstable; urgency=low
2197 * Fixes bugs #18017, #17999, #17961, #17932: old 1.9.18p2-1 provided
2198 a man page for smbmount, which conflicts with package smbfs. This
2199 was solved by creating a multi-binary package that produces
2200 package samba and new package smbfsx.
2201 * Fixes bug #18000 (typo in postinst).
2202 * Fixes bug #17958 (postinst asks obsolete question). Actually,
2203 the question is still asked, but only if Samba is run as daemons.
2204 * Created a multi-binary package from the Samba sources: package
2205 samba and new package smbfsx which provides SMB mount utilities
2206 for kernels > 2.1.70.

2210 samba (1.9.18p2-1) unstable; urgency=low
2212 * New upstream version.
2213 * Removed /etc/cron.weekly/samba because Samba does not handle well
2214 rotation of log files (if the log file is rotated Samba will
2215 continue to log to the rotated file, instead of the just created
2216 one). In any case, Samba will rotate log files after an specific

2252 samba (1.9.18alpha12-1) unstable; urgency=low
2254 * New upstream version.
2255 * Conflicts with the sambades package because the new Samba 1.9.18
2256 series do not depend on the DES libraries to support encrypted
2258 * Added parameter "encrypt passwords = yes" to /etc/smb.conf.
2259 * Compiled with support for quotas in disk_free().
2260 * Home directories are now exported read only by default.
2261 * Re-worked debian/rules.
2262 * Re-worked sample smb.conf.

2266 samba (1.9.17p4-1) unstable; urgency=low
2268 * New upstream version.
2269 * Made /etc/smb.conf readable by everybody because some Samba utilities

2271 * Dropped PAM support while the PAM libraries are ported to libc6.

2289 samba (1.9.17p2-1) unstable; urgency=low
2291 * New upstream version that fixes a serious security hole.
2292 * Removed Debian patches added in 1.9.17-1 and 1.9.17p1-1 because
2293 these patches are now part of the upstream release.

2297 samba (1.9.17p1-1) unstable; urgency=low
2299 * New upstream version.
2300 * Defined symbol _LINUX_C_LIB_VERSION_MAJOR as 6 in includes.h to shut up
2302 * Included rpcsvc/ypclnt.h in includes.h to shut up compiler warnings.
2303 * Included crypt.h to have function prototype for crypt().
2304 * Included netinet/tcp.h to have some socket options included.
2305 * Included netinet/ip.h to have some socket options included.
2306 * Linking with libcrypt (LIBM='... -lcrypt'). Without including this
2307 library smbd generates a seg. fault when authenticating users (?).

2311 samba (1.9.17-1) unstable; urgency=low
2313 * New upstream version (called the "Browse Fix Release")
2314 * Added the option --oknodo to the start-stop-daemon invocation in prerm
2315 script. This was because the prerm was failing because start-stop-daemon
2316 was returning an error code if no nmbd or smbd daemons were found
2318 * The function yp_get_default_domain(), referenced in three source
2319 files was part of libc5 but with libc6 (glibc2) it has been moved
2320 to libnss_nis. Since the linker was unable to find the function
2321 I had to add LIBSM='-lnss_nis' to debian/rules.
2322 * Added -DNO_ASMSIGNALH and -DGLIBC2 to FLAGSM in debian/rules
2323 because compiling was failing because of conflicts with glibc2.
2324 * Patched source/includes.h to include termios.h if GLIBC2 is defined.
