Registry Configuration Backend
==============================
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.
+
+
+Modified API for libsmbclient
+==============================================================================
+
+Maintaining ABI compatibility for libsmbclient has become increasingly
+difficult to accomplish, while also keeping the code organization such that it
+is easily readable. Towards the goal of maintaining ABI compatibility and
+also keeping the code easy to maintain and enhance, the API has been enhanced.
+In particular, the fields in the SMBCCTX context structure are no longer
+intended to be read/write by the user, and are marked as deprecated. An
+application that previously accessed the members of the SMBCCTX context
+structure will now encounter warnings if recompiled. This is intentional, to
+encourage implementation of the small changes required for the new interface.
+The number of changes is expected to be quite small for the vast majority of
+applications, and no changes need be made for many applications. The changes
+required for KDE (konqueror) to conform to the new interface, for example, are
+only four lines in only one file.
+
+Instead of the application manually changing or reading values in the context
+structure, there are now setter and getter functions for each configurable
+member in that structure. Similarly, the smbc_option_get() and
+smbc_option_set() functions are deprecated in favor of the setter/getter
+interface. The setters and getters are all documented in libsmbclient.h
+under these comment blocks:
+
+ Getters and setters for CONFIGURATION
+ Getters and setters for OPTIONS
+ Getters and setters for FUNCTIONS
+ Callable functions for files
+ Callable functions for directories
+ Callable functions applicable to both files and directories
+
+Example changes that may be required to eliminate "deprecated" warnings:
+
+ /* Set the debug level */
+ context->debug = 99;
+changes to:
+ smbc_setDebug(context, 99);
+
+ /* Specify the authentication callback function */
+ context->callbacks.auth_fn = auth_smbc_get_data;
+changes to:
+ smbc_setFunctionAuthData(context, auth_smbc_get_data);
+
+ /* Specify the new-style authentication callback with context parameter */
+ smbc_option_set("auth_function", auth_smbc_get_data_with_ctx);
+changes to:
+ smbc_setFunctionAuthDataWithContext(context, auth_smbc_get_data_with_ctx);
+
+ /* Set kerberos flags */
+ context->flags = (SMB_CTX_FLAG_USE_KERBEROS |
+ SMB_CTX_FLAG_FALLBACK_AFTER_KERBEROS);
+changes to:
+ smbc_setOptionUseKerberos(context, 1);
+ smbc_setOptionFallbackAfterKerberos(context, 1);
