Release Notes for Samba 3.5.9
June 14, 2011
o Sgid bit lost on folder rename (bug #7996).
o ACL can get lost when files are being renamed (bug #7987).
o Respect "allow trusted domains = no" in Winbind (bug #6966).
+o Samba now follows Windows behaviour as a Kerberos client,
+ requesting a CIFS/ ticket (bug #7893).
+
+New Kerberos behaviour
+----------------------
+A new parameter 'client use spnego principal' defaults to 'no' and
+mean Samba will use CIFS/hostname to obtain a kerberos ticket, acting
+more like Windows when using Kerberos against a CIFS server in
+smbclient, winbind and other Samba client tools. This will change
+which servers we will successfully negotiate kerberos connections to.
+This is due to Samba no longer trusting a server-provided hint which
+is not available from Windows 2008 or later. For correct operation
+with all clients, all aliases for a server should be recorded as a as
+a servicePrincipalName on the server's record in AD.
Changes since 3.5.8:
