In an attempt to avoid the holiday rush common to software
releases, the Samba Team is proud to announce the availability of
the first patch release of the Samba 3.0 code base.
This is the latest stable release of Samba and is the version
that all production Samba servers should be running for all current
bug-fixes. Some of the more common bugs in 3.0.0 addressed in the
release include:
- Substitution problems with smb.conf variables.
- Errors in return codes which caused some applications to fail
to open files. - General Protection Faults on Windows 2000/XP clients using
Samba point-n-print features. - Several miscellaneous crash bugs.
- Access problems when enumerating group mappings are stored in
an LDAP Directory. - Several common SWAT bugs when writing changes to smb.conf.
- Internal inconsistencies when ‘winbind use default domain =
yes’
