Registry Configuration Backend
==============================
Samba is now able to use a registry based configuration backed to
supplement smb.conf setting. This feature may be enabled by setting
- "include = registry" and "registry shares = yes" in the [global]
+ "config backend = registry" and "registry shares = yes" in the [global]
section of smb.conf and may be managed using the "net conf" command.
More information may be obtained from the smb.conf(5) and net(8) man
Both the Python bindings and the libmsrpc shared library have been
removed from the tree due to lack of an official maintainer.
+ As smbfs is no longer supported in current kernel versions, smbmount has
+ been removed in this Samba version. Please use cifs (mount.cifs) instead.
+ See examples/scripts/mount/mount.smbfs as an example for a wrapper which
+ calls mount.cifs instead of smbmount/mount.smbfs.
