Samba is an freeware open source tool that provides seamless file and print services to SMB/CIFS clients.Samba can be run on a platform other than Microsoft Windows, for example: IBM System 390, OpenVMS, UNIX, Linux, and other operating systems.Samba uses the TCP/IP protocol that is installed on the host server. When correctly configured, it allows that host to interact with a Microsoft Windows client or server as if it is a Windows file and print server.What\'s New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]· BUG 1254: Fix \"write list\" in setups using \"security = share\".· BUG 5937: Fix filenames with \"*\" char hiding other files.· BUG 5953: Fix segfaults in smbclient.· Fix usrmgr opening a user object as non-root.· BUG 3661: Add support for trusted domains to idmap_ad.· Fix default backend handling for ad backends.· Fix potential segfault in vfs_tsmsm.· Fix several RHEL CTDB packaging issues.· BUG 5957: Do not abort rename process on valid rename script.· Fix various potential memleaks in samr_SetUserInfo.· Fix access bits in netapi.· BUG 5934: Use USER environment in mount.cifs when no user is specified.· variable· BUG 5688: LPQ process is orphaned if socket address parameter is invalid.· Vars for signals must be volatile sig_atomic_t.· BUG 5929: Fix build of vfs_prealloc with option --with-cluster-support and GPFS.· BUG 5928: Fix \'testparm --version\'.· Allow mounts to ipv6 capable servers in mount.cifs.· Fix crash bug when freeing a non-malloc\'ed buffer if the client sends a non-encrypted packet with the crypto state set.· Fix error code when smbclient puts a file over an existing directory.· Pass the get_real_filename operation through the VFS.· BUG 5749: Re-set acctflags while joining.· Fix several issues concerning Alternate Data Streams.· Fix valgrind bug lp_parm_const_string().· Fix setting of trust passwords using \'net rpc trustdom add\'.· Correctly detect if the current dc is the closest one.· Fix a delete on close divergence from windows.· Fix logging to syslog.· BUG 5944: Fix starting of nmbd with \"socket address\" set to \"\".· Fix script installmo.sh when no .po file exists.
