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 7231: Fix automatic building of vfs_tsmsm if gpfs and dmapi are present.· BUG 7232: Fix race conditions in CTDB persistent transactions.· BUG 7313: Make \'net conf addshare\' atomic.· BUG 7314: Eliminate race condition in creating/scanning sorted subkeys in the registry backend.· BUG 7075: Fix bug in vfs_scannedonly rmdir implementation.· BUG 7159: Fix handling of bad server data returns in client rpc_transport.· BUG 7234: Symlink delete fails but incorrectly reports success to client.· BUG 7255: Fix \"printer admin\" functionality.· BUG 7283: Fix smbd segfault if using vfs_acl_tdb.· BUG 7297: Fix smbd crashes with CUPS printers and no [printers] share defined.· BUG 7310: Fix DOS attribute inconsistency with MS Office.· BUG 7290: Fix core dump in \'ntlm_auth\' with \"gss-spnego\" helper.· BUG 6727: Fix several printing issues.· BUG 7237: Fix smbd segfaults in _netr_SamLogon for clients sending null domain.· BUG 7256: Fix value-needed calculation in_spoolss_EnumPrinterData().· BUG 7258: Fix _winreg_QueryValue crash bugs and implement Windows behavior.· BUG 7203: Fix \'net share\' command.· BUG 7269: Fix job management commands for CUPS queues.· BUG 6853: Fix race condition in mount.cifs that allows user to replace mountpoint with a symlink.· BUG 5198: Fix parsing of the gecos field.· BUG 7202: Fix access by multi-threaded applications.· BUG 7212: Fix returning of group members with \'getent group\'.· BUG 7216: Fix the build of net_afs.c with --fake-kaserver=yes.· BUG 7229: Fix a NULL pointer dereference in smbd.· BUG 7232: Fix race conditions in CTDB persistent transactions.· BUG 7254: Fix an uninitialized variable read in smbd.· BUG 7278: Fix a memleak in Winbind.· BUG 6814: Fix valgrind warning.· BUG 7170: Never mark external domains as internal in Winbind.· BUG 7225: Make Winbind logs more verbose for troubleshooting.· BUG 7251: Fix smbd segfault in \"waiting for connections\" message.· BUG 7295: Fix Winbind reconnection to it\'s own domain.· BUG 7316: Winbind possibly segfaults when trying a trusted domain without inbound trust.· BUG 1206: Fix segfault if hide files or veto files has no \".AppleDouble\".· BUG 7204: Fix DN parsing name was always null.· BUG 7312: Many disconnecting clients render clustered Samba unusuable for some time.· BUG 7206: Signals are processed twice in child.
