Description Pavel Shirov 2006-07-11 22:47:36 UTC
This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version 
that production Samba servers should be running for all current 
bug-fixes.  Please read the changes in this section for details on 
new features and difference in behavior from previous releases.

There has been a substantial amount of cleanup work done during 
this development cycle.  We would like to thank both Coverity 
(http://www.coverity.com/) and Klocwork (http://www.klocwork.com/)
for analyzing the Samba source code. As a result, this release 
includes fixes for over 400 defects.  The coverage was approximately 
even with over 200 defects reported by each tool.

Thanks very much to those people who spent time testing the 
release candidates and reported their findings.  We would like to 
especially thank Thomas Bork  for his numerous 
reports.  We believe that the final release is in much better shape 
in large part due to his efforts.

New features in 3.0.23 include:

   o Improved 'make test'
   o New offline mode in winbindd.
   o New Kerberos support for pam_winbind.so.
   o New handling of unmapped users and groups. 
   o New non-root share management tools.
   o Improved support for local and BUILTIN groups.
   o Winbind IDMAP integration with RFC2307 schema objects supported 
     by Windows 2003 R2.
   o Rewritten 'net ads join' to mimic Windows XP without requiring 
     administrative rights to join a domain.
