16 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.25a
18 ===============================
20 This is the second production release of the Samba 3.0.25 code
21 base and is the version that servers should be run for for all
24 Major bug fixes included in Samba 3.0.25a are:
26 o Missing supplementary Unix group membership when using "force
28 o Premature expiration of domain user passwords when using a
29 Samba domain controller.
30 o Failure to open the Windows object picker against a server
31 configured to use "security = domain".
32 * Authentication failures when using security = server.
35 Changes to MS-DFS Root Share Behavior
36 =====================================
38 Please be aware that the initial value for the "msdfs root" share
39 parameter was changed in the 3.0.25 release series and that this
40 option is now disabled by default. Windows clients frequently require
41 a reboot in order to clear any cached information about MS-DFS
42 root shares on a server and you may experience failures accessing
43 file services on Samba 3.0.25 servers until the client reboot
44 is performed. Alternately, you may explicitly re-enable the
45 parameter in smb.conf. Please refer to the smb.conf(5) man page
