2 Release Notes for Samba 3.6.0pre1
4 =================================
7 This is the first preview release of Samba 3.6. This is *not*
8 intended for production environments and is designed for testing
9 purposes only. Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting
10 system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/.
13 Major enhancements in Samba 3.6.0 include:
19 SMB2 support in 3.6.0 is fully functional (with one ommission),
20 and can be enabled by setting:
24 in the [global] section of your smb.conf and re-starting
25 Samba. All features should work over SMB2 except the modification
26 of user quotas using the Windows quota management tools.
28 As this is the first release containing what we consider
29 to be a fully featured SMB2 protocol, we are not enabling
30 this by default, but encourage users to enable SMB2 and
31 test it. Once we have enough confirmation from Samba
32 users and OEMs that SMB2 support is stable in wide user
33 testing we will enable SMB2 by default in a future Samba
37 Internal Winbind passdb changes
38 -------------------------------
40 Winbind has been changed to use the internal samr and lsa rpc pipe to get
41 local user and group information instead of calling passdb functions. The
42 reason is to use more of our infrastructure and test this infrastructure by
43 using it. With this approach more code in Winbind is shared.
49 Added the new SMB Traffic Analyzer (SMBTA) VFS module protocol 2
50 featuring encryption, multiple arguments, and easier parseability. A new
51 tool 'smbta-util' has been created to control the encryption behaviour
52 of SMBTA. For compatibility, SMBTA by default operates on version 1.
53 There are programs consuming the data that the module sends.
