469 samba (2.2.4+2.2.5pre1-1) experimental; urgency=low
471 * Getting ready for Samba 2.2.5.
472 * Remove patches/parse_spoolss.patch, now included upstream.
473 * Fixed thinko WRT POSIX ACL support, which we "half-enabled" in
474 2.2.4-1. We don't use POSIX ACL support ourselves, so we'd
475 appreciate reports from those using this feature so we can
477 * Fix the filename-matching algorithm used for smbtar's 'exclude'
478 functionality. (closes: #131571)
479 * Look for secrets.tdb in /var/lib/samba, and handle in the postinst.
480 This is not really a config file, because users don't edit it.
482 * Doxygen fix for libsmbclient.h, thanks to Tommi Komulainen
483 <Tommi.Komulainen@iki.fi> for the patch. (closes: #144847)

487 samba (2.2.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
489 * New upstream release (closes: #144713)
490 * Building with POSIX ACL support (closes: #137819)
491 * Include samples, exclude INSTALL from libpam-smbpass (closes: #145055)
492 * Compile with --with-automount, for NIS homedir support (closes: #123396)
493 * Add a proper 'flags' field to the mount entry we write to /etc/mtab;
494 fixes a display bug with mount (closes: #140397)
495 * Added logic to /etc/init.d/samba so a help message is printed out
496 when Samba is running from inetd _and_ we are not booting, i.e. the
497 user called the init script manually. Thanks to Francesco
498 Potorti <pot@gnu.org> for the suggestion on how to implement this.
499 (Closes: #139807, #140204)
500 * samba.postinst: added logic so we don't call /etc/init.d/samba if
501 we are running from inetd (this prevents the stupid help message
502 to be printed during package upgrades if we are running from inetd.)
504 * /etc/init.d/samba: delete stale PID files after nmbd and smbd are
505 stopped. This prevents start-stop-daemon from printing an ugly
506 error message when called from '/etc/init.d/samba stop'. I prefer
507 this than running start-stop-daemon with --oknodo because
508 start-stop-daemon might print other important error messages that with
509 --oknodo it would otherwise not print. (Closes: #102187, #109301)
510 * Patch from jerry@samba.org to fix parsing of spoolss structures.

514 samba (2.2.3a-7) unstable; urgency=medium
516 * More README.debian updates.
517 * Neutralize the smb.conf 'lock dir' directive, which doesn't mean
518 what the FHS says it should, and causes us no end of grief.
520 * LPRng-handling patch so that jobs printed to recent versions of
521 LPRng show up properly as 'done' instead of 'paused' in the Windows
522 print queue. Thanks to Jaroslav Serdula <serdula_jaroslav@vse.sk>
523 for this patch. (Closes: #139458)
524 * Applied patch from Urban Widmark <urban@teststation.com>
525 (smbfs upstream maintainer) to add a '-n' option to smbmount
526 that does the same as mount's '-n'. (Closes: #139590)
527 * Minor tweak to unpatch-source so we unpatch sources in the
528 reverse order we patched them.
529 * Don't depend on grep in samba.prerm to determine if Samba was
530 running before the upgrade starts.
531 * Tweak the wording of debconf templates.
532 * Incorporate debconf translations for French, Spanish and Portuguese;
533 thanks to Carlos Valdivia Yagüe <valyag@hotpop.com> (es),
534 Andre Luis Lopes <andrelop@ig.com.br> (pt_BR), and Philippe
535 Batailler and Denis Barbier <barbier@debian.org> (fr).
536 (closes: #142657, #142659, #141551, #141699, #141682)
537 * Fixed symlinks in the swat package so the point to /usr/share/doc/
538 instead of /usr/doc/. Added note to the description of the
539 swat packages that says that samba-doc must be installed for
540 the on-line documentation to work. Thanks to Torne Wuff
541 <torne@wolfpuppy.org.uk>. (Closes: #95437)
542 * 'dh_installinit -n' gives us no initscript handling -- we need to
543 handle all starting and stopping of daemons ourselves, which wasn't
544 happening in the {pre,post}rm scripts.
545 * Vary the priority of the debconf question "Do you want to generate
546 /etc/samba/smbpassd?" depending on whether the file already exists.
547 File exists -> priority 'medium', file does not exist -> priority
548 'low'. Changed priorities of all other questions from 'high' to 'medium'.

556 * Ony call 'update-inetd --add' on first installation, just as we only
557 call 'update-inetd --remove' on package purge.
558 * Bring our shipped smb.conf closer in line with the upstream
559 defaults: don't twiddle the send/recv buffer sizes, since the Linux
560 kernel already provides a much better default setting
561 (closes: #80966, #80934, #137415, #133477)

587 to make sure we are not calling an init script if it is not
588 executable. (closes: #137321)

596 samba (2.2.3a-2) unstable; urgency=low
598 * merge in debconf support:
599 - Moved all smb.conf-related questions to samba-common (smb.conf
600 is part of the samba-common package, not the samba package.)
601 - smb.conf is not a samba-common conffile anymore since it is
602 being managed by debconf. It is ABSOLUTELY necessary to make
603 sure /etc/samba/smb.conf _NEVER_ gets overwritten by changes
604 made via debconf. In other words, any changes made by the user
605 should be honored by the debconf interface.
606 - samba.postinst now moves old log files from /var/log/ to
607 /var/log/samba/. There's a Debconf note that informs the user
608 the log files are stored now in a new location.
610 + Make samba depend on debconf.
611 - New file debian/samba.templates.
612 - New file debian/samba.config.
613 - Re-worked debian/samba.postinst.
614 + Got rid of all /etc/samba/debian_config sillyness.
615 - remove /usr/sbin/sambaconfig; "dpkg-reconfigure samba" replaces
617 - Removed debian/samba.prerm.
618 - Cleaned up /etc/init.d/samba.
619 + Added infrastructure for debconf.
620 + Got rid of all /etc/samba/debian_config sillyness.
621 + Got rid of /etc/samba/smbpasswd conversion stuff for
622 compatibility with versions of Samba < 2.0.0final-2.
623 (closes: #127959, #34408, #113594)
624 * make samba.postinst ignore the absence of /var/log/{s,n}mb*;
625 makes for a clean upgrade path.

635 Potato packages brought this to my attention. dh_installlogrotate
636 takes care of creating the directory for us, that's why we didn't
638 * Removed code that converts /etc/samba/smbpasswd from an ancient
639 format to the new format of Samba 2.0.0 and later.
640 Closes: #134375 - samba: postinst failed due to missing
641 /usr/bin/convert_smbpasswd.
642 * Re-organized FHS migration code in samba.postinst. Make sure we
643 don't fail when we move files that don't exist.
644 Closes: #133813 - samba: Install failed.
645 * Adding docs. to the libpam-smbpass package.
646 * Remove man pages for findsmb because we are not providing this
648 Closes: #134181 - findsmb referenced, but not included.
649 * Removed replace.patch because it is now present upstream.
650 * Added patch from Jerry Carter to fix a problem when saving
651 document preferences for printing from NT clients.
652 * The real winbindd daemon is a forked process so we can't use
653 --make-pidfile when calling start-stop-daemon. Fixed
654 /etc/init.d/winbind to work around the issue. Thanks to
655 Lin Li <linl@xandros.com> for the patience and for reporting

685 regenerate this file cleanly.
687 - Create winbind.conffiles and add /etc/logrotate.d/winbind and
688 /etc/init.d/winbind to it.
689 - Use a relative symlink for /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb.
690 - Removal of a .cvsignore file in the samba-doc package.
691 * winbind.init fixes:
692 - Corrected name of the pid file (Steve)
693 - Make start-stop-daemon create a pid file for winbindd since it
694 does not create one on his own.
695 * #DEBHELPER# is not needed in samba.postinst because we are adding
696 manually everything that debhelper adds automatically. In fact,
697 since we are calling update-rc.d without standard paramaters I
698 think we can't use #DEBHELPER#.

937 Closes: #109774: Latest debian version breaks printer driver download.
938 Closes: #109946: not all files appear in samba-exported directories.
939 * Another patch from Steve Langasek. This one adds quotes around
940 printer names for print systems it's reasonable for Debian to
941 support. Together with the patch in #29957 (see changelog for
942 2.2.1a-4), this should take care of the problems with multi-word
943 printer names in Samba.

951 were suggested by the energetic Steve Langasek <vorlon@debian.org>,
952 and his arguments were so sound and reasonable that I decided
953 to implement them. Here's Steve's original changelog:
955 * Fix up the build system to avoid needing to run configure
956 as root to answer questions we already know the answers to.
957 * In the process, make surprising progress towards being able to
958 cross-compile the samba packages.

979 * Steve Langasek <vorlon@netexpress.net> has been hard at work in
980 the last few days looking at the long list of open bugs filed
981 against the Samba packages. I don't know how to thank him. It's been
982 a pleasure working with Steve, and all the fixes, patches, etc. in
983 this release come from him. The bug list is greatly reduced thanks
985 * Steve's additions/modifications/patches/etc. are:
986 - New package that (libpam-smbpass) provides pam_smbpass. Before, this
987 was provided in another package but now the sources are part of
988 the Samba sources so we can start providing it from here.
989 Closes: #107043 - pam_smbpass now present in Samba source,
990 should be built from there
991 - Patch to source/smbd/service.c that allows admins to call
992 /bin/umount from the root postexec of a Samba share.
993 Closes: #40561 - samba pre/postexec commands do not work.
994 - Clear TMPDIR before starting smbd in /etc/init.d/samba.
995 Closes: #51295 - Problems with Samba and TMPDIR.
996 - Correction to documentation of "guest only".
997 Closes #38282 - "guest only" share still requires a password.
998 * Applied patch from Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es> to convert
999 /usr/sbin/mksmbpasswd from a shell script into a real awk script.
1000 Sorry it took so long, Santiago; I hadn't realized you even
1001 provided a patch :-)
1002 Closes: #77891 - mksmbpasswd could be a real awk script.
1003 * Updated description of the smbfs and smbclient packages. Also have
1004 each package recommend the other.
1005 Closes: #108650: Should suggest or recommend smbfs.

1308 samba (2.0.6-5) frozen unstable; urgency=low
1310 * Oppsss! samba-common doesn't depend on libcupsys1 so the binaries
1311 in this package are broken unless libcupsys1 is installed.
1312 samba-common has a "grave" bug because of this. Instead of adding
1313 libcupsys1 to the Depends: list of each package in debian/control
1314 I investigated why dh_shlibs was not picking the dependency
1315 automatically. It turns out that it's probably a bug in libcupsys1
1316 because the format of its shlibs file is not correct. I fixed that
1317 file (/var/lib/dpkg/info/libcupsys1.shlibs) and now dependencies are
1318 picked correctly. I'll talk to the libcupsys1 maintainer.
1320 I think the addition of CUPS support to Samba is a big change that
1321 should not go into Frozen. So, I decided to back up the addition
1322 of CUPS support I did in 2.0.6-4 to minimize problems. I'll add
1323 CUPS support again when I start working on Samba for Woody.

1328 samba (2.0.6-4) frozen unstable; urgency=low
1330 * It seems that sometimes nmbd or smbd are not killed when upgrading.
1331 I think it is because in samba's prerm script I was calling
1332 start-stop-daemon with the --pidfile switch and in old versions of
1333 Samba the nmbd and smbd daemons did not store their PIDs in a file in
1334 /var/samba/. I changed debian/samba.prerm so the existence of the
1335 PID files is checked before calling "start-stop-daemon --pidfile ..."
1336 If the PID files do not exist then start-stop-daemon is called
1337 without the --pidfile parameter.
1338 (Closes: #58058 - upgrade from slink went badly)
1339 * Fixed typo in description of swat package in debian/control.
1340 * Installed libcupsys1-dev so the configure script picks up CUPS
1341 and Samba is compiled with CUPS support. Also added libcupsys1 to
1342 the Depends: list of package samba in debian/control.
1343 (Closes: #59038 - samba not compiled with cups support)

1349 samba (2.0.6-3) frozen unstable; urgency=low
1351 * Applied patch posted by Jeremy Allison to the samba mailing list
1352 that should take care of the internal errors reported in bug #52698
1353 (release-critical). Wichert: please test as I never could reproduce
1355 (Closes: #52698 - samba gets interbal errors)
1356 * Moved samba-docs to the 'docs' section.
1357 (Closes: #51077 - samba-doc: wrong section)
1358 * Added reload capability to /etc/init.d/samba (only for smbd because
1359 nmbd does not support reloading after receiving a signal).
1360 (Closes: #50954 - patch to add reload support to /etc/init.d/samba)
1361 * Corrected "passwd chat" parameter in sample /etc/samba/smb.conf so
1362 Unix password syncronization works with the passwd program currently
1363 in Potato. Thanks to Augustin Luton <aluton@hybrigenics.fr> for
1364 the correct chat script.
1365 * Stole source/lib/util_sec.c from the CVS tree of what will become
1366 Samba 2.0.7 or whatever so we can use the same binaries under
1367 both 2.0.x and 2.2.x kernels.
1368 (Closes: #51331 - PANIC: failed to set gid)
1369 * smbadduser is now provided as an example and it's customized for Debian.
1370 I am not providing this script in /usr/sbin/ because then I would need
1371 a dependency on csh, something that I don't want to do.
1372 (Closes: #51697, #54052)
1373 * Fixed the short description of the smbfs package in debian/control.
1374 (Closes: 53534 - one-line description out of date).

1378 samba (2.0.6-2) unstable; urgency=low
1380 * samba-common now depends on libpam-modules (not on libpam-pwdb, which
1381 I have been told is obsolete). I modified /etc/pam.d/samba accordingly
1382 to reflect the change.
1383 (Closes: Bug#50722: pam pwdb dependence?).
1384 * The old /etc/pam.d/samba file which had references to pam_pwdb caused
1385 smbd to die with a signal 11. The new /etc/pam.d/samba file fixes
1387 (Closes: #50876, #50838, #50698)
1388 * Compiled with syslog support (use at your own risk: syslog support
1389 is still experimental in Samba). I added the parameters "syslog = 0"
1390 and "syslog only = no" to the sample smb.conf to avoid pestering
1391 users that do not want Samba to log through syslog.
1392 (Closes: Bug#50703 - syslog only option doesn't work)
1393 * Removed the stupid code in the smbmount wrapper script that tries
1394 to load the smbfs module if smbfs is not listed in /proc/filesystems.
1395 (Closes: Bug#50759 - Non-root can't run smbmount if SMBFS is compiled
1396 as a module in the kernel)
1397 * Added /bin/mount.smb as a symlink pointing to /usr/bin/smbmount so
1398 'mount -t smb ...' works just as 'mount -t smbfs ...'.
1399 (Closes: Bug#50763 - 'mount -t smb' doesn't work)

1403 samba (2.0.6-1) unstable; urgency=low
1405 * Samba 2.0.6 has been released. This is the first try of the Debian
1406 Samba packages. I know for sure that smbd won't work properly on
1407 2.0.x kernels because the patch that Wichert sent me does not apply
1408 to the new source/lib/util_sec.c in Samba 2.0.6. That file was
1409 completely re-written by Tridge.
1410 * Updated README.Debian.
1411 * A new client utility called smbspool appeared in Samba 2.0.6. I added
1412 this utility to the smbclient package, although I haven't tried it yet.
1413 * Added the symlink /sbin/mount.smbfs that points to /usr/bin/smbmount.
1414 This is to be able to type "mouont -t smbfs ...". This symlink goes
1415 in the smbfs package, of course.
1416 * This new release should close the following bugs (some of these
1417 are fixed for sure in this new upstream release, some others I could
1418 not reproduce but I believe they are fixed if they were real bugs.
1419 As always, please feel free to re-open the bugs if the problem is not

1433 Closes: Bug#47332: smbmount: could -f and -P be added back?
1434 * Samba has been compiled with PAM support (closes: Bug#39512 - samba PAM
1435 module). To succesfully add PAM support, I created /etc/pam.d/samba and
1436 added this file as a conffile for the samba-common package. I also made
1437 samba-common depend on libpam-pwdb.
1438 * Added simple man pages for the wrapper scripts smbmount and smbmount.
1439 (Closes: Bug#44705 - Missing smbmount man page)
1440 * Installed libreadlineg2-dev in my system so smbclient now has a
1441 "history" command and libreadline support :-)
1442 * This time I did add a check to the smbmount wrapper script to see if
1443 the kernel has support for smbfs, as suggested by Jeroen Schaap
1444 <J.Schaap@physiology.medfac.leidenuniv.nl>. I mentioned in the changelog
1445 for samba-2.0.5a-3 that I did this but I forgot at the end.

1449 samba (2.0.5a-5) unstable; urgency=low
1451 * I am sorry to report that the smbwrapper package is gone for the
1452 moment. The reason for this is twofold: first of all, smbwrapper
1453 is completely broken in Samba-2.0.5a (it compiles but it doesn't
1454 run) and in the upcoming Samba-2.0.6 it doesn't even compile. Second,
1455 when I asked Andrew Tridgell (father of Samba) about the state of
1456 smbwrapper he told me that Ulrich Drepper (head of the glibc project)
1457 broke on purpose the glibc stuff in which smbwrapper is based.
1458 Consequently, Tridge recommended me to compile Samba without
1459 support for smbwrapper. When, I have no idea. Sorry folks. Here is
1460 the original message I received from Andrew:
1462 > 1) 2.0.5a's smbwrapper doesn't work under glibc2.1, and pre-2.0.6's
1463 > smbwrapper doesn't even compile under glibc2.1.
1465 yep, Ulrich deliberately broke it. It won't get fixed till glibc
1466 allows the sorts of games it plays to work again. I suggest you turn
1467 it off in your build scripts until that gets sorted out.
1469 * Swat's file are now in /usr/share/samba/ instead of
1470 /usr/lib/samba/ (bug #49011).
1471 * Man pages now in /usr/share/man/ instead of /usr/man/ (bug #49011).

1475 samba (2.0.5a-4) unstable; urgency=low
1477 * Applied patch from our fearless leader (Wichert) to fix the darn bug
1478 that prevents Samba to work on 2.0.x kernels if it was compiled
1479 in a system running a 2.2.x kernel. This closes #40645 (build uses
1480 setresuid which doesn't work under 2.0.34 (does apparently under
1482 * Fixed the entry that swat's postinst script adds to /etc/inetd.conf
1483 so it is '#<off># swat\t\tstream\ttcp\tnowait.400 ...' instead of
1484 '#<off>#swat\t\tstream\ttcp\tnowait.400 ...'. The old way caused
1485 'update-inetd --enable swat' to leave the entry for swat disabled.
1486 Thanks to Dave Burchell <burchell@inetnebr.com> for finding out
1487 this problem. This closes #48762 (swat uses non-standard syntax to
1488 comment out inetd.conf entry).
1489 * /usr/sbin/swat does not think anymore that the smbd daemon lives
1490 in /usr/local/samba/bin/. To fix this I am running now source/configure
1491 with "--prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr". This closes #47716 (samba
1492 'swat' fails: incorrect hardwired path in the binary).

1496 samba (2.0.5a-3) unstable; urgency=low
1498 * I am pretty darn busy with my MBA, I apologize for the long time it's
1499 taking to squash bugs in the Samba packages.
1500 * Built with debhelper v2 for FHS compliancy. Changed a couple of
1501 things in debian/rules to accomodate for the new place for the docs.
1502 I also had to change debian/{samba.postinst,samba.prerm,swat.postinst}
1503 to make sure that the symlink from /usr/doc/xxx exists and points to
1504 /usr/share/doc/xxx (the reason for this is that I am not letting
1505 debhelper to create these scripts for me automatically).
1506 * Built with latest libc6.
1507 * smbfs: finally, the nasty bug that causes smbmount to die after
1508 a while is gone thanks to Ben Tilly <Ben_Tilly@trepp.com>.
1509 The problem was just a typo in source/client/smbmount.c.
1510 This closes grave bug #42764 (smbmount dies) and #43341
1511 (smbfs-2.2.x won't function after a while).
1512 * Fixed the smbmount wrapper script to eliminate a bashism (closes
1513 #45202 - "wrapper scripts use $* instead of "$@") and to recognize
1514 2.3.x and 2.4.x kernels (closes #47688 - "smbfs: does not recognize
1516 * Added a check to the smbmount wrapper script to see if the
1517 kernel has support for smbfs, as suggested by Jeroen Schaap
1518 <J.Schaap@physiology.medfac.leidenuniv.nl>.
1519 * swat's man page is now part of the swat package, not of the samba
1520 package. This closes #44808 (Samba has a man page for swat, but
1521 the binary is not included).
1522 * The interface program smbrun is not longer needed by smbd because
1523 of the availability of execl() under Linux. Because of this, the
1524 smbrun is not even being compiled. Since there is no need for smbrun
1525 now, the smbrun man page was taken out of the samba package. This
1526 closes #45266 (/usr/bin/smbrun missing).
1527 * smbpasswd is now part of the samba-common package, and not part of
1528 the samba package. This is to let administrators that do not want
1529 to install a full Samba server administer passwords in remote
1530 machines. This closes bug #42624 (smbpasswd should be included in
1531 smbclient). This bug report also suggests that swat becomes part of
1532 the samba package, that smbfs becomes part of the smbclient package,
1533 and that the binary smbpasswd becomes part of the smbclient package.
1534 I moved smbpasswd to the samba-common package but I am reluctant to
1535 do the other things the bug report suggests.
1536 * In order to keep dpkg happy when moving smbpasswd from the samba
1537 package to samba-common, I had to add a "Replaces: samba (<= 2.0.5a-2)"
1538 in the control section of the samba-common package and a
1539 "Replaces: samba-common (<= 2.0.5a-2)" in the control section of the
1540 samba package (in debian.control).
1541 * Samba is now being compiled with the "--with-netatalk" option. This
1542 closes #47480 (Could samba be compiled with the --with-netatalk option).
1543 * All packages that depend on samba-common have a versioned dependency
1544 now. This was accomplished by adding "(= ${Source-Version})" to the
1545 relevant sections of debian/control. Thanks t Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho
1546 <gaia@iki.fi> for the hint. This closes #42985 (samba should probably
1547 have a versioned depends on samba-common).
1548 * Made sure the file docs/textdocs/DIAGNOSIS.txt gets installed in all
1549 the Samba packages. This closes bug #42049 (no DIAGNOSTICS.txt file).
1550 * Added the smbadduser helper script to the samba package. This closes
1551 #44480 (Samba doesn't come with the smbadduser program).
1552 * Applied patch from szasz@triton.sch.bme.hu that prevents smbmount
1553 to leave an entry in /etc/mtab for a share that could not be mounted
1554 because of invalid user of password. The patch also allows smbumount
1555 to unmount the share in the event that something goes wrong with the
1556 smbmount process. This closes bug #48613 (Mount/umount problems +
1557 patch) as well as #44130 (failed mount is still mounted).
1558 * smbmount-2.2.x is now setuid root. This is needed for the patch
1559 applied above to be effective. If smbmount-2.2.x is not setuid root
1560 then an entry will be left in /etc/mtab even when the mount
1561 fails. I had to add "usr/bin/smbmount-2.2.x" to debian/smbfs.suid

1576 * I'm back from the Honey Moon. We are pretty busy because we are moving
1577 to Pittsburgh (from Caracas, Venezuela) in aprox. 24 hours and we still
1578 have plenty of things to pack and to do. Samba 2.0.5 was released
1579 while I was in the Honey Moon and it is just now (almost 3 AM) when
1580 I have time to package it.
1581 * Because of the security problems fixed in 2.0.5, this upload goes
1582 to both stable and unstable (the Security Team asked for this).
1583 * This release (2.0.5a-1) was compiled on a Slink system. 2.0.5a-2 will
1584 be compiled on a Potato system.
1585 * Added a "Replaces: samba (<= 1.9.18p10-7)" to the samba-common
1586 section in debian/control (as suggested by Steve Haslam
1587 <araqnid@debian.org>) to fix the problems that appear when upgrading
1588 from the Samba package in Slink. Please test this as I am completely
1589 unable to do so. This should fix bug #39818 (Upgrading Samba from the

1592 order to have defined several socket options when compiling with
1593 Linux 2.2.x kernel headers - the fix is now upstream.
1594 * Finally!!! smbmount was re-written (thanks Tridge :-) to use a command
1595 line syntax similar to the one used by the old smbmount (for 2.0.x
1596 kernels). This means that the wrapper script is no longer necessary
1597 so I removed it. In its place there is a simple wrapper script that
1598 calls smbmount-2.0.x or smbmount-2.2.x depending on the kernel that is

1607 * Stupid mistake: I forgot to add /usr/bin/smbumount to debian/smbfs.files

1615 * Dark (and archive maintainers): please remove from Potato the smbfsx
1616 binary package and also the old source package for smbfs. smbfs and
1617 smbfsx have been merged starting with this version.
1618 * Merged the old smbfs package with Samba. Now there is only one package
1619 for the smbfs utilities and is called "smbfs". The package smbfsx
1620 does not exist any more and this new smbfs package must be used
1621 for both 2.0.x and > 2.1.x kernels.
1622 * A wrapper script was added to handle the syntax change in smbmount
1623 in the new smbfs utilities (required for kernels > 2.1.70). The
1624 home page for this script is http://www.wittsend.com/mhw/smbmount.html.
1625 Please _note_ that this will change (for good) in Samba 2.0.5 :-)
1626 * Added debian/smbumount.sh. It's another wrapper that calls smbumount-2.2.x
1627 or smbumount-2.0.x depending on the kernel currently running.
1628 * Not using -t for savelog in cron.weekly script.
1629 * Recompiled without libreadlineg-dev (Samba does not seem to be using
1630 it so unnecessary dependencies are produced).
1632 * Removed smbpasswd.8 man page from the debian/ directory because it is
1633 now being provided upstream.
1634 * Got rid of the ugly hack I put in source/lib/util_sock.c to have
1635 IPTOS_LOWDELAY and IPTOS_THROUGHPUT defined. Now I patched the
1636 autoconf stuff to #include <netinet/ip.h>. I've sent the patch to

1641 samba (2.0.4b-1) unstable; urgency=low
1643 * New upstream release. This release fixes the following Debian bugs:
1644 #33838 (Amanda/ Samba 2.0.2 and backing up large filesystems) and
1645 #33867 (Amanda 2.4.1 and Samba 2.0.2 and large filesystems). Jeremy
1646 Allison released Samba 2.0.4 and found out that there were a couple
1647 of minor bugs so he released 2.0.4a. Then he found out about more
1648 serious bugs and released 2.0.4b. I have built this package several
1649 times between yesterday and today because of this. Now I am releasing
1650 the Debian packages for Samba with what I believe will be the latest
1651 release the Samba Team will make at least in the next 4 days (Jeremy
1652 is taking a short vacation).
1653 * Still compiling against glibc2.0 (sorry about that :-)
1654 * Hacked source/smbwrapper/smbsh.c to fix the problem
1655 of smbsh not finding the shared library smbwrapper.so. It looks
1656 now in /usr/lib/samba/ for this file. This fixes #32971, #32989,
1657 #33278, #34911 and #36317.
1658 * Made smbfsx depend on samba-common because smbfsx uses /etc/samba/smb.conf
1659 and /etc/samba/codepages/. This fixes #33128 (smbmount complains about
1660 missing /etc/smb.conf).
1661 * Package swat does not depend on httpd anymore (there's no need to).
1662 This fixes #35795 (swat requires httpd).
1663 * Renamed smbmount-2.1.x and smbumount-2.1.x to smbmount-2.2.x and
1664 smbumount-2.2.x. Same applies to the man pages.
1665 * Changed minor type in smbmount's man page (changed "\"" by "\'"). This
1666 fixes #34070 (wrong quotes in manpage).
1667 * Used Fabrizio Polacco's <fpolacco@icenet.fi> procedure to create the
1668 Debian package for Samba. This closes #35781 (samba has no pristine
1670 * Changes to /etc/cron.weely/samba: rotate /var/log/{nmb,smb}.old only
1671 if the size of either is different than 0. Also, added comments at the
1672 beginning of this script to explain how rotation of log files works in
1673 Samba. Thanks to ujr@physik.phy.tu-dresden.de (Ulf Jaenicke-Roessler)
1674 for the suggestions. This closes #37490 (cron.weekly script rotates not
1675 used [sn]mb.old files). As I side effect, this should also close
1676 #31462 (still trouble with /etc/cron.weekly/samba).
1677 * Check for old /etc/pam.d/samba file which is not provided by this version
1678 of the Debian Samba package but was provided in older versions. If this
1679 file exists we delete it. We check for this in the postinst. This closes
1680 #37356 (samba put stuff in pam.d that pam complains about) and #34312
1681 (libpam0g: questions during upgrade).
1682 * Make sure the mode of /etc/samba/smbpasswd is set to 600. This is done
1683 in the postinst script. This closes #35730 (Security problem with
1684 /etc/samba/smbpasswd when upgrading from samba 1.9.18p8-2 to 2.0.3-1).
1685 * I have just checked and it looks like #28748 (smbfsx doesn't "return ")
1686 has been fixed. This might have been fixed since a long time ago.
1687 * Long long standing bug #18488 (smbclient: internal tar is broken) is
1688 closed in this release of Samba. The bug might have been closed for a
1689 long long time, but I did not check for this before.
1690 * Temporary fix to the annoying "Unknown socket option IPTOS_LOWDELAY"
1691 message. This fixes #33698 (socket option IPTOS_LOWDELAY no longer works),
1692 #34148 (warnings from smbd) and #35333 (samba warnings).

1708 * Updated the README.Debian file.
1709 * Updated the description of the samba package in the control file.
1710 * The binaries smbmnt and smbumount-2.1.x in the smbfsx package are now
1711 installed setuid root as they should be. This was done by doing a
1712 a "chmod u+s" for each binary in debian/rules and by creating the

1714 * Minor patch to source/client/smbumount.c to allow normal users
1715 to umount what they have mounted (problem was a kernel vs. libc6

1721 * Hacked source/smbwrapper/smbsh.c to fix the problem
1722 of smbsh not finding the shared library smbwrapper.so.

1740 * The samba postinst made an unwarranted assumption that the file
1741 /etc/samba/smbpasswd exists. If the file did not exist (which is
1742 perfectly valid) the postinst will fail. This fixes #32953.

1754 samba (2.0.0final-2) unstable; urgency=low
1756 * Finally!!! The first upload to unstable. Sorry for the delay folks
1757 but I have been quite busy lately :-) Another reason for the delay
1758 is that I wanted to ease the migration from Samba 1.9.18p10 and
1759 before to Samba 2.0.0. I changed the location of the config. files
1760 from /etc/ to /etc/samba/ and this made things a little bit harder.
1761 * This package needs 2.2 kernel headers to compile (well, this is
1762 true for the smbfsx package, all others compile fine with 2.0 kernel
1764 * Created a preinst script for the samba package to take care of the
1765 location migration of smb.conf (from /etc/ to /etc/samba/). The
1766 preinst script also takes care of moving /etc/smbpasswd to its new
1767 location (/etc/samba/).
1768 * Created postinst and postrm scripts to add/remove an entry for swat
1770 * I had forgotten to install the sambaconfig script so I changed
1771 debian/rules to install this script.
1772 * Added a postrm script for the samba package (I had forgotten to add
1773 this script to the new Samba packages after the migration from 1.9.18
1775 * Created a small Perl script that is called from the samba postinst
1776 to convert the smbpasswd from the old format used in version prior
1777 to 2.0.0 to the new one used in 2.0.0 and beyond.
1778 * The upgrade process should be automatically now. Please let me know

1829 samba (2.0.0beta1-1) experimental; urgency=low
1831 * First beta release of the samba-2.0.0 code. Before the beta I was
1832 working with sources downloaded directly from the CVS server. This
1833 package goes into experimental and I plan to release the new
1834 samba to unstable as soon as it gets out of beta.
1835 * Created several packages out of the Samba sources. They are:
1836 samba (nmbd and smbd daemons + related programs), smbclient (FTP
1837 like command line utility to retrieve files from SMB servers),
1838 swat (Samba Web Administration Tool), samba-common (common files
1839 used by samba, smbclient and swat), smbfsx (smbfs utilities for
1840 kernels >= 2.1.70), smbwrapper and samba-doc (Samba documentation).
1841 * Refreshed debian/samba-doc.docs so recently added docs. are
1842 installed in the samba-doc package. New additions include man
1843 pages in the /usr/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/ directory.
1844 * Deleted Debian specific nmblookup(1) man page as it is now upstream.
1845 * Added smbtorture to smbclient package.
1846 * Moved rpcclient from the samba package to the smbclient package.
1847 * The Samba daemons (nmbd and smbd) now create a PID file so I changed
1848 all calls to start-stop-daemon to use the PID file.
1849 * Fixed debian/rules to install mksmbpasswd (fixes #27655).
1850 * Modified /etc/init.d/samba so nmbd is started without the -a (append
1851 to the log file instead of overwrite) switch. The new behavior of
1852 nmbd is to NOT overwrite log files, so the -a switch can be deleted
1854 * Moved from debstd to debhelper.

1903 never released it because an obscure bug was found just a couple
1904 of days before the official release, so the Samba Team stopped
1905 the rollover of 1.9.18p9.
1906 * Updated documentation (new files were added to the docs/ directory
1907 that were not installed in /usr/doc/samba/).
1908 * Fixed long standing bug #7695 (smb.conf's man page doesn't document
1909 'printing=lprng') - I made a couple of changes to the man page to
1910 include references to lprng.
1911 * Fixes bug #24930 (samba needs to suggest psmisc?). I don't think it
1912 is necessary to make samba suggest psmisc just because the postinst
1913 script mentions to call killall. So, I removed all references to
1914 "killall" in the scripts.
1915 * Fixes bug #25999 (Samba does not by default work with unix password
1916 sync): I added the "passwd program" and "passwd chat" parameters to

1934 "grave" bug #23903 (samba maps username before authenicating with
1935 NT password server).
1936 * Added a "sleep 2" between "start-stop-daemon --stop" and
1937 "start-stop-daemon --start" in /etc/init.d/samba so when this script
1938 is called with the "restart" parameter the Samba daemons are restarted

2042 configuration options). New scheme stores Debian specific
2043 configuration information in /etc/samba/debian_config.

2045 new configuration scheme.

2047 so I don't have to do very nasty things like creating crazy
2048 symlinks in /usr/include to make this package compile. This
2049 allows non-root users to build the package and fixes bug

2054 argument, as required by the policy (problem reported by lintian).

2061 after configuration.
2062 * Created man pages for sambaconfig(8), addtosmbpass(8),
2063 mksmbpasswd(8) and nmblookup(1).

2177 samba (1.9.17p2-2) unstable; urgency=low

2184 samba (1.9.17p2-1) unstable; urgency=low
2186 * New upstream version that fixes a serious security hole.
2187 * Removed Debian patches added in 1.9.17-1 and 1.9.17p1-1 because

2192 samba (1.9.17p1-1) unstable; urgency=low
2194 * New upstream version.
2195 * Defined symbol _LINUX_C_LIB_VERSION_MAJOR as 6 in includes.h to shut up
2197 * Included rpcsvc/ypclnt.h in includes.h to shut up compiler warnings.
2198 * Included crypt.h to have function prototype for crypt().
2199 * Included netinet/tcp.h to have some socket options included.
2200 * Included netinet/ip.h to have some socket options included.
2201 * Linking with libcrypt (LIBM='... -lcrypt'). Without including this
2202 library smbd generates a seg. fault when authenticating users (?).

2206 samba (1.9.17-1) unstable; urgency=low
2208 * New upstream version (called the "Browse Fix Release")
2209 * Added the option --oknodo to the start-stop-daemon invocation in prerm
2210 script. This was because the prerm was failing because start-stop-daemon
2211 was returning an error code if no nmbd or smbd daemons were found
2213 * The function yp_get_default_domain(), referenced in three source
2214 files was part of libc5 but with libc6 (glibc2) it has been moved
2215 to libnss_nis. Since the linker was unable to find the function
2216 I had to add LIBSM='-lnss_nis' to debian/rules.
2217 * Added -DNO_ASMSIGNALH and -DGLIBC2 to FLAGSM in debian/rules
2218 because compiling was failing because of conflicts with glibc2.
2219 * Patched source/includes.h to include termios.h if GLIBC2 is defined.
