10 vfs modules (samba), smbtree(1) manpage (smbclient), tdbbackup(8)
11 manpage (samba). (closes: #151158)
12 * Switch to DH_COMPAT level 4:
13 - no explicit conffile listings needed
14 - the postinst for libsmbclient is now completely autogenerated
15 - use the default init script handling (with support for
16 invoke-rc.d) in debhelper, instead of the currently buggy upgrade

25 * New upstream release
26 - The smb.conf(5) manpage documents config options again

29 should be able to map domain accounts to local accounts again
31 - Use the locale charset for 'display charset' by default
33 - Fix for segfault in smbclient when using the -b option
35 - Handle an empty 'passdb backend' list gracefully (closes: #193946).
36 * Don't set 'display charset' anymore on upgrade, since this is now
37 grabbed from the locale by default -- a much better option.
38 * Removed time.c.patch which is now in the upstream sources.
39 * Update FHS patch for two new tdb files (netsamlogon_cache.tdb,
41 * Remove python-linker.patch, since the Kerberos package has been
42 fixed to no longer use rpath
43 * Remove configure.patch: the hppa glibc bug this was added for is
44 long since fixed, and upstream isn't interested in supporting this

59 * Update the dhcp config hooks so they're suitable for sourcing (i.e.,
60 don't call "exit") (closes: #196477).
61 * Bring package into line with current policy by adding support for
62 the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS flag, and enabling debugging symbols (-gstabs)

203 debian/tmp, not debian/samba, so we can see when new files are

210 doesn't support messaging and we can't do the port 135 stuff yet

434 when Samba is running from inetd _and_ we are not booting, i.e. the

436 Potorti <pot@gnu.org> for the suggestion on how to implement this.

439 we are running from inetd (this prevents the stupid help message
440 to be printed during package upgrades if we are running from inetd.)
442 * /etc/init.d/samba: delete stale PID files after nmbd and smbd are
443 stopped. This prevents start-stop-daemon from printing an ugly
444 error message when called from '/etc/init.d/samba stop'. I prefer
445 this than running start-stop-daemon with --oknodo because

464 that does the same as mount's '-n'. (Closes: #139590)
465 * Minor tweak to unpatch-source so we unpatch sources in the
466 reverse order we patched them.
467 * Don't depend on grep in samba.prerm to determine if Samba was
468 running before the upgrade starts.
469 * Tweak the wording of debconf templates.
470 * Incorporate debconf translations for French, Spanish and Portuguese;
471 thanks to Carlos Valdivia Yagüe <valyag@hotpop.com> (es),
472 Andre Luis Lopes <andrelop@ig.com.br> (pt_BR), and Philippe
473 Batailler and Denis Barbier <barbier@debian.org> (fr).
474 (closes: #142657, #142659, #141551, #141699, #141682)
475 * Fixed symlinks in the swat package so the point to /usr/share/doc/
476 instead of /usr/doc/. Added note to the description of the
477 swat packages that says that samba-doc must be installed for
478 the on-line documentation to work. Thanks to Torne Wuff
479 <torne@wolfpuppy.org.uk>. (Closes: #95437)
480 * 'dh_installinit -n' gives us no initscript handling -- we need to
481 handle all starting and stopping of daemons ourselves, which wasn't
482 happening in the {pre,post}rm scripts.
483 * Vary the priority of the debconf question "Do you want to generate
484 /etc/samba/smbpassd?" depending on whether the file already exists.
485 File exists -> priority 'medium', file does not exist -> priority
486 'low'. Changed priorities of all other questions from 'high' to 'medium'.

495 call 'update-inetd --remove' on package purge.
496 * Bring our shipped smb.conf closer in line with the upstream
497 defaults: don't twiddle the send/recv buffer sizes, since the Linux
498 kernel already provides a much better default setting

534 samba (2.2.3a-2) unstable; urgency=low
536 * merge in debconf support:
537 - Moved all smb.conf-related questions to samba-common (smb.conf
538 is part of the samba-common package, not the samba package.)
539 - smb.conf is not a samba-common conffile anymore since it is
540 being managed by debconf. It is ABSOLUTELY necessary to make
541 sure /etc/samba/smb.conf _NEVER_ gets overwritten by changes
542 made via debconf. In other words, any changes made by the user
543 should be honored by the debconf interface.
544 - samba.postinst now moves old log files from /var/log/ to
545 /var/log/samba/. There's a Debconf note that informs the user
546 the log files are stored now in a new location.
548 + Make samba depend on debconf.
549 - New file debian/samba.templates.
550 - New file debian/samba.config.
551 - Re-worked debian/samba.postinst.
552 + Got rid of all /etc/samba/debian_config sillyness.
553 - remove /usr/sbin/sambaconfig; "dpkg-reconfigure samba" replaces
555 - Removed debian/samba.prerm.
556 - Cleaned up /etc/init.d/samba.
557 + Added infrastructure for debconf.
558 + Got rid of all /etc/samba/debian_config sillyness.
559 + Got rid of /etc/samba/smbpasswd conversion stuff for
560 compatibility with versions of Samba < 2.0.0final-2.
561 (closes: #127959, #34408, #113594)
562 * make samba.postinst ignore the absence of /var/log/{s,n}mb*;
563 makes for a clean upgrade path.

573 Potato packages brought this to my attention. dh_installlogrotate
574 takes care of creating the directory for us, that's why we didn't
576 * Removed code that converts /etc/samba/smbpasswd from an ancient
577 format to the new format of Samba 2.0.0 and later.
578 Closes: #134375 - samba: postinst failed due to missing
579 /usr/bin/convert_smbpasswd.
580 * Re-organized FHS migration code in samba.postinst. Make sure we
581 don't fail when we move files that don't exist.
582 Closes: #133813 - samba: Install failed.
583 * Adding docs. to the libpam-smbpass package.
584 * Remove man pages for findsmb because we are not providing this
586 Closes: #134181 - findsmb referenced, but not included.
587 * Removed replace.patch because it is now present upstream.
588 * Added patch from Jerry Carter to fix a problem when saving
589 document preferences for printing from NT clients.
590 * The real winbindd daemon is a forked process so we can't use
591 --make-pidfile when calling start-stop-daemon. Fixed
592 /etc/init.d/winbind to work around the issue. Thanks to
593 Lin Li <linl@xandros.com> for the patience and for reporting
594 the problems. Hopefully I got it right this time.

623 regenerate this file cleanly.
625 - Create winbind.conffiles and add /etc/logrotate.d/winbind and
626 /etc/init.d/winbind to it.
627 - Use a relative symlink for /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb.
628 - Removal of a .cvsignore file in the samba-doc package.
629 * winbind.init fixes:
630 - Corrected name of the pid file (Steve)
631 - Make start-stop-daemon create a pid file for winbindd since it
632 does not create one on his own.
633 * #DEBHELPER# is not needed in samba.postinst because we are adding
634 manually everything that debhelper adds automatically. In fact,

1246 samba (2.0.6-5) frozen unstable; urgency=low
1248 * Oppsss! samba-common doesn't depend on libcupsys1 so the binaries
1249 in this package are broken unless libcupsys1 is installed.
1250 samba-common has a "grave" bug because of this. Instead of adding
1251 libcupsys1 to the Depends: list of each package in debian/control
1252 I investigated why dh_shlibs was not picking the dependency
1253 automatically. It turns out that it's probably a bug in libcupsys1
1254 because the format of its shlibs file is not correct. I fixed that
1255 file (/var/lib/dpkg/info/libcupsys1.shlibs) and now dependencies are
1256 picked correctly. I'll talk to the libcupsys1 maintainer.
1258 I think the addition of CUPS support to Samba is a big change that
1259 should not go into Frozen. So, I decided to back up the addition
1260 of CUPS support I did in 2.0.6-4 to minimize problems. I'll add
1261 CUPS support again when I start working on Samba for Woody.

1266 samba (2.0.6-4) frozen unstable; urgency=low
1268 * It seems that sometimes nmbd or smbd are not killed when upgrading.
1269 I think it is because in samba's prerm script I was calling
1270 start-stop-daemon with the --pidfile switch and in old versions of
1271 Samba the nmbd and smbd daemons did not store their PIDs in a file in
1272 /var/samba/. I changed debian/samba.prerm so the existence of the
1273 PID files is checked before calling "start-stop-daemon --pidfile ..."
1274 If the PID files do not exist then start-stop-daemon is called
1275 without the --pidfile parameter.
1276 (Closes: #58058 - upgrade from slink went badly)
1277 * Fixed typo in description of swat package in debian/control.
1278 * Installed libcupsys1-dev so the configure script picks up CUPS
1279 and Samba is compiled with CUPS support. Also added libcupsys1 to
1280 the Depends: list of package samba in debian/control.
1281 (Closes: #59038 - samba not compiled with cups support)

1296 * Added reload capability to /etc/init.d/samba (only for smbd because
1297 nmbd does not support reloading after receiving a signal).
1298 (Closes: #50954 - patch to add reload support to /etc/init.d/samba)
1299 * Corrected "passwd chat" parameter in sample /etc/samba/smb.conf so
1300 Unix password syncronization works with the passwd program currently
1301 in Potato. Thanks to Augustin Luton <aluton@hybrigenics.fr> for
1302 the correct chat script.
1303 * Stole source/lib/util_sec.c from the CVS tree of what will become
1304 Samba 2.0.7 or whatever so we can use the same binaries under
1305 both 2.0.x and 2.2.x kernels.

1321 (Closes: Bug#50722: pam pwdb dependence?).

1327 is still experimental in Samba). I added the parameters "syslog = 0"
1328 and "syslog only = no" to the sample smb.conf to avoid pestering
1329 users that do not want Samba to log through syslog.

1343 * Samba 2.0.6 has been released. This is the first try of the Debian
1344 Samba packages. I know for sure that smbd won't work properly on
1345 2.0.x kernels because the patch that Wichert sent me does not apply
1346 to the new source/lib/util_sec.c in Samba 2.0.6. That file was
1347 completely re-written by Tridge.
1348 * Updated README.Debian.
1349 * A new client utility called smbspool appeared in Samba 2.0.6. I added
1350 this utility to the smbclient package, although I haven't tried it yet.
1351 * Added the symlink /sbin/mount.smbfs that points to /usr/bin/smbmount.
1352 This is to be able to type "mouont -t smbfs ...". This symlink goes
1353 in the smbfs package, of course.
1354 * This new release should close the following bugs (some of these
1355 are fixed for sure in this new upstream release, some others I could
1356 not reproduce but I believe they are fixed if they were real bugs.
1357 As always, please feel free to re-open the bugs if the problem is not
1359 Closes: Bug#33240: icmp mask needs a bug workaround.
1360 Closes: Bug#37692: samba: Has problems detecting interfaces.
1361 Closes: Bug#38988: samba: Truly bizzare behavour from nmbd.
1362 Closes: Bug#46432: samba-2.0.5a-2: nmbd does not appear to broadcast
1364 Closes: Bug#44131: smbfs: no longer possible to set file and

1369 Closes: Bug#48186: smbmount.
1370 Closes: Bug#38040: smbfs: Please add /sbin/mount.smb [included].
1371 Closes: Bug#47332: smbmount: could -f and -P be added back?
1372 * Samba has been compiled with PAM support (closes: Bug#39512 - samba PAM
1373 module). To succesfully add PAM support, I created /etc/pam.d/samba and
1374 added this file as a conffile for the samba-common package. I also made
1375 samba-common depend on libpam-pwdb.
1376 * Added simple man pages for the wrapper scripts smbmount and smbmount.
1377 (Closes: Bug#44705 - Missing smbmount man page)
1378 * Installed libreadlineg2-dev in my system so smbclient now has a
1379 "history" command and libreadline support :-)
1380 * This time I did add a check to the smbmount wrapper script to see if
1381 the kernel has support for smbfs, as suggested by Jeroen Schaap
1382 <J.Schaap@physiology.medfac.leidenuniv.nl>. I mentioned in the changelog
1383 for samba-2.0.5a-3 that I did this but I forgot at the end.

1387 samba (2.0.5a-5) unstable; urgency=low
1389 * I am sorry to report that the smbwrapper package is gone for the
1390 moment. The reason for this is twofold: first of all, smbwrapper
1391 is completely broken in Samba-2.0.5a (it compiles but it doesn't
1392 run) and in the upcoming Samba-2.0.6 it doesn't even compile. Second,
1393 when I asked Andrew Tridgell (father of Samba) about the state of
1394 smbwrapper he told me that Ulrich Drepper (head of the glibc project)
1395 broke on purpose the glibc stuff in which smbwrapper is based.
1396 Consequently, Tridge recommended me to compile Samba without
1397 support for smbwrapper. When, I have no idea. Sorry folks. Here is
1398 the original message I received from Andrew:
1400 > 1) 2.0.5a's smbwrapper doesn't work under glibc2.1, and pre-2.0.6's
1401 > smbwrapper doesn't even compile under glibc2.1.
1403 yep, Ulrich deliberately broke it. It won't get fixed till glibc
1404 allows the sorts of games it plays to work again. I suggest you turn
1405 it off in your build scripts until that gets sorted out.
1407 * Swat's file are now in /usr/share/samba/ instead of
1408 /usr/lib/samba/ (bug #49011).
1409 * Man pages now in /usr/share/man/ instead of /usr/man/ (bug #49011).

1413 samba (2.0.5a-4) unstable; urgency=low
1415 * Applied patch from our fearless leader (Wichert) to fix the darn bug
1416 that prevents Samba to work on 2.0.x kernels if it was compiled
1417 in a system running a 2.2.x kernel. This closes #40645 (build uses
1418 setresuid which doesn't work under 2.0.34 (does apparently under
1420 * Fixed the entry that swat's postinst script adds to /etc/inetd.conf
1421 so it is '#<off># swat\t\tstream\ttcp\tnowait.400 ...' instead of
1422 '#<off>#swat\t\tstream\ttcp\tnowait.400 ...'. The old way caused
1423 'update-inetd --enable swat' to leave the entry for swat disabled.
1424 Thanks to Dave Burchell <burchell@inetnebr.com> for finding out
1425 this problem. This closes #48762 (swat uses non-standard syntax to
1426 comment out inetd.conf entry).
1427 * /usr/sbin/swat does not think anymore that the smbd daemon lives
1428 in /usr/local/samba/bin/. To fix this I am running now source/configure
1429 with "--prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr". This closes #47716 (samba
1430 'swat' fails: incorrect hardwired path in the binary).

1434 samba (2.0.5a-3) unstable; urgency=low
1436 * I am pretty darn busy with my MBA, I apologize for the long time it's
1437 taking to squash bugs in the Samba packages.
1438 * Built with debhelper v2 for FHS compliancy. Changed a couple of
1439 things in debian/rules to accomodate for the new place for the docs.
1440 I also had to change debian/{samba.postinst,samba.prerm,swat.postinst}
1441 to make sure that the symlink from /usr/doc/xxx exists and points to
1442 /usr/share/doc/xxx (the reason for this is that I am not letting
1443 debhelper to create these scripts for me automatically).
1444 * Built with latest libc6.
1445 * smbfs: finally, the nasty bug that causes smbmount to die after
1446 a while is gone thanks to Ben Tilly <Ben_Tilly@trepp.com>.
1447 The problem was just a typo in source/client/smbmount.c.
1448 This closes grave bug #42764 (smbmount dies) and #43341
1449 (smbfs-2.2.x won't function after a while).
1450 * Fixed the smbmount wrapper script to eliminate a bashism (closes
1451 #45202 - "wrapper scripts use $* instead of "$@") and to recognize
1452 2.3.x and 2.4.x kernels (closes #47688 - "smbfs: does not recognize
1454 * Added a check to the smbmount wrapper script to see if the
1455 kernel has support for smbfs, as suggested by Jeroen Schaap
1456 <J.Schaap@physiology.medfac.leidenuniv.nl>.
1457 * swat's man page is now part of the swat package, not of the samba
1458 package. This closes #44808 (Samba has a man page for swat, but
1459 the binary is not included).
1460 * The interface program smbrun is not longer needed by smbd because
1461 of the availability of execl() under Linux. Because of this, the
1462 smbrun is not even being compiled. Since there is no need for smbrun
1463 now, the smbrun man page was taken out of the samba package. This
1464 closes #45266 (/usr/bin/smbrun missing).
1465 * smbpasswd is now part of the samba-common package, and not part of
1466 the samba package. This is to let administrators that do not want
1467 to install a full Samba server administer passwords in remote
1468 machines. This closes bug #42624 (smbpasswd should be included in
1469 smbclient). This bug report also suggests that swat becomes part of
1470 the samba package, that smbfs becomes part of the smbclient package,
1471 and that the binary smbpasswd becomes part of the smbclient package.
1472 I moved smbpasswd to the samba-common package but I am reluctant to
1473 do the other things the bug report suggests.
1474 * In order to keep dpkg happy when moving smbpasswd from the samba
1475 package to samba-common, I had to add a "Replaces: samba (<= 2.0.5a-2)"
1476 in the control section of the samba-common package and a
1477 "Replaces: samba-common (<= 2.0.5a-2)" in the control section of the
1478 samba package (in debian.control).
1479 * Samba is now being compiled with the "--with-netatalk" option. This
1480 closes #47480 (Could samba be compiled with the --with-netatalk option).
1481 * All packages that depend on samba-common have a versioned dependency
1482 now. This was accomplished by adding "(= ${Source-Version})" to the
1483 relevant sections of debian/control. Thanks t Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho
1484 <gaia@iki.fi> for the hint. This closes #42985 (samba should probably
1485 have a versioned depends on samba-common).
1486 * Made sure the file docs/textdocs/DIAGNOSIS.txt gets installed in all
1487 the Samba packages. This closes bug #42049 (no DIAGNOSTICS.txt file).
1488 * Added the smbadduser helper script to the samba package. This closes
1489 #44480 (Samba doesn't come with the smbadduser program).
1490 * Applied patch from szasz@triton.sch.bme.hu that prevents smbmount
1491 to leave an entry in /etc/mtab for a share that could not be mounted
1492 because of invalid user of password. The patch also allows smbumount
1493 to unmount the share in the event that something goes wrong with the
1494 smbmount process. This closes bug #48613 (Mount/umount problems +
1495 patch) as well as #44130 (failed mount is still mounted).
1496 * smbmount-2.2.x is now setuid root. This is needed for the patch
1497 applied above to be effective. If smbmount-2.2.x is not setuid root
1498 then an entry will be left in /etc/mtab even when the mount
1499 fails. I had to add "usr/bin/smbmount-2.2.x" to debian/smbfs.suid

1506 * This version is basically the same as 2.0.5a-1 but it was compiled

1512 samba (2.0.5a-1) stable; urgency=high
1514 * I'm back from the Honey Moon. We are pretty busy because we are moving
1515 to Pittsburgh (from Caracas, Venezuela) in aprox. 24 hours and we still
1516 have plenty of things to pack and to do. Samba 2.0.5 was released
1517 while I was in the Honey Moon and it is just now (almost 3 AM) when
1518 I have time to package it.
1519 * Because of the security problems fixed in 2.0.5, this upload goes
1520 to both stable and unstable (the Security Team asked for this).
1521 * This release (2.0.5a-1) was compiled on a Slink system. 2.0.5a-2 will
1522 be compiled on a Potato system.
1523 * Added a "Replaces: samba (<= 1.9.18p10-7)" to the samba-common
1524 section in debian/control (as suggested by Steve Haslam
1525 <araqnid@debian.org>) to fix the problems that appear when upgrading
1526 from the Samba package in Slink. Please test this as I am completely
1527 unable to do so. This should fix bug #39818 (Upgrading Samba from the
1529 * Removed the hacks to the autoconf stuff that I added to 2.0.4b-2 in
1530 order to have defined several socket options when compiling with
1531 Linux 2.2.x kernel headers - the fix is now upstream.
1532 * Finally!!! smbmount was re-written (thanks Tridge :-) to use a command
1533 line syntax similar to the one used by the old smbmount (for 2.0.x
1534 kernels). This means that the wrapper script is no longer necessary
1535 so I removed it. In its place there is a simple wrapper script that
1536 calls smbmount-2.0.x or smbmount-2.2.x depending on the kernel that is

1545 * Stupid mistake: I forgot to add /usr/bin/smbumount to debian/smbfs.files

1553 * Dark (and archive maintainers): please remove from Potato the smbfsx
1554 binary package and also the old source package for smbfs. smbfs and
1555 smbfsx have been merged starting with this version.
1556 * Merged the old smbfs package with Samba. Now there is only one package
1557 for the smbfs utilities and is called "smbfs". The package smbfsx
1558 does not exist any more and this new smbfs package must be used
1559 for both 2.0.x and > 2.1.x kernels.
1560 * A wrapper script was added to handle the syntax change in smbmount
1561 in the new smbfs utilities (required for kernels > 2.1.70). The
1562 home page for this script is http://www.wittsend.com/mhw/smbmount.html.
1563 Please _note_ that this will change (for good) in Samba 2.0.5 :-)
1564 * Added debian/smbumount.sh. It's another wrapper that calls smbumount-2.2.x
1565 or smbumount-2.0.x depending on the kernel currently running.
1566 * Not using -t for savelog in cron.weekly script.
1567 * Recompiled without libreadlineg-dev (Samba does not seem to be using
1568 it so unnecessary dependencies are produced).
1570 * Removed smbpasswd.8 man page from the debian/ directory because it is
1571 now being provided upstream.
1572 * Got rid of the ugly hack I put in source/lib/util_sock.c to have
1573 IPTOS_LOWDELAY and IPTOS_THROUGHPUT defined. Now I patched the
1574 autoconf stuff to #include <netinet/ip.h>. I've sent the patch to

1579 samba (2.0.4b-1) unstable; urgency=low
1581 * New upstream release. This release fixes the following Debian bugs:
1582 #33838 (Amanda/ Samba 2.0.2 and backing up large filesystems) and
1583 #33867 (Amanda 2.4.1 and Samba 2.0.2 and large filesystems). Jeremy
1584 Allison released Samba 2.0.4 and found out that there were a couple
1585 of minor bugs so he released 2.0.4a. Then he found out about more
1586 serious bugs and released 2.0.4b. I have built this package several
1587 times between yesterday and today because of this. Now I am releasing
1588 the Debian packages for Samba with what I believe will be the latest
1589 release the Samba Team will make at least in the next 4 days (Jeremy
1590 is taking a short vacation).
1591 * Still compiling against glibc2.0 (sorry about that :-)
1592 * Hacked source/smbwrapper/smbsh.c to fix the problem
1593 of smbsh not finding the shared library smbwrapper.so. It looks
1594 now in /usr/lib/samba/ for this file. This fixes #32971, #32989,
1595 #33278, #34911 and #36317.
1596 * Made smbfsx depend on samba-common because smbfsx uses /etc/samba/smb.conf
1597 and /etc/samba/codepages/. This fixes #33128 (smbmount complains about
1598 missing /etc/smb.conf).
1599 * Package swat does not depend on httpd anymore (there's no need to).
1600 This fixes #35795 (swat requires httpd).
1601 * Renamed smbmount-2.1.x and smbumount-2.1.x to smbmount-2.2.x and
1602 smbumount-2.2.x. Same applies to the man pages.
1603 * Changed minor type in smbmount's man page (changed "\"" by "\'"). This
1604 fixes #34070 (wrong quotes in manpage).
1605 * Used Fabrizio Polacco's <fpolacco@icenet.fi> procedure to create the
1606 Debian package for Samba. This closes #35781 (samba has no pristine
1608 * Changes to /etc/cron.weely/samba: rotate /var/log/{nmb,smb}.old only
1609 if the size of either is different than 0. Also, added comments at the
1610 beginning of this script to explain how rotation of log files works in
1611 Samba. Thanks to ujr@physik.phy.tu-dresden.de (Ulf Jaenicke-Roessler)
1612 for the suggestions. This closes #37490 (cron.weekly script rotates not
1613 used [sn]mb.old files). As I side effect, this should also close
1614 #31462 (still trouble with /etc/cron.weekly/samba).
1615 * Check for old /etc/pam.d/samba file which is not provided by this version
1616 of the Debian Samba package but was provided in older versions. If this
1617 file exists we delete it. We check for this in the postinst. This closes
1618 #37356 (samba put stuff in pam.d that pam complains about) and #34312
1619 (libpam0g: questions during upgrade).
1620 * Make sure the mode of /etc/samba/smbpasswd is set to 600. This is done
1621 in the postinst script. This closes #35730 (Security problem with
1622 /etc/samba/smbpasswd when upgrading from samba 1.9.18p8-2 to 2.0.3-1).
1623 * I have just checked and it looks like #28748 (smbfsx doesn't "return ")
1624 has been fixed. This might have been fixed since a long time ago.
1625 * Long long standing bug #18488 (smbclient: internal tar is broken) is
1626 closed in this release of Samba. The bug might have been closed for a
1627 long long time, but I did not check for this before.
1628 * Temporary fix to the annoying "Unknown socket option IPTOS_LOWDELAY"
1629 message. This fixes #33698 (socket option IPTOS_LOWDELAY no longer works),
1630 #34148 (warnings from smbd) and #35333 (samba warnings).

1649 installed setuid root as they should be. This was done by doing a

1694 * Finally!!! The first upload to unstable. Sorry for the delay folks
1695 but I have been quite busy lately :-) Another reason for the delay
1696 is that I wanted to ease the migration from Samba 1.9.18p10 and
1697 before to Samba 2.0.0. I changed the location of the config. files
1698 from /etc/ to /etc/samba/ and this made things a little bit harder.
1699 * This package needs 2.2 kernel headers to compile (well, this is
1700 true for the smbfsx package, all others compile fine with 2.0 kernel
1702 * Created a preinst script for the samba package to take care of the
1703 location migration of smb.conf (from /etc/ to /etc/samba/). The
1704 preinst script also takes care of moving /etc/smbpasswd to its new
1705 location (/etc/samba/).

1756 * This new version fixes the potential security problem that
1757 was posted to debian-private (using the "message command" parameter
1758 to execute arbitrary commands from messages sent from LinPopUp).
1759 * Changed /etc/init.d/samba to use one of the variables stored in
1760 /etc/samba/debian_config to know how Samba is being run (from inetd or
1761 as daemons) instead of grepping /etc/inetd.conf which may not exist

1767 samba (2.0.0beta1-1) experimental; urgency=low
1769 * First beta release of the samba-2.0.0 code. Before the beta I was
1770 working with sources downloaded directly from the CVS server. This
1771 package goes into experimental and I plan to release the new
1772 samba to unstable as soon as it gets out of beta.
1773 * Created several packages out of the Samba sources. They are:
1774 samba (nmbd and smbd daemons + related programs), smbclient (FTP
1775 like command line utility to retrieve files from SMB servers),
1776 swat (Samba Web Administration Tool), samba-common (common files
1777 used by samba, smbclient and swat), smbfsx (smbfs utilities for
1778 kernels >= 2.1.70), smbwrapper and samba-doc (Samba documentation).
1779 * Refreshed debian/samba-doc.docs so recently added docs. are
1780 installed in the samba-doc package. New additions include man
1781 pages in the /usr/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/ directory.
1782 * Deleted Debian specific nmblookup(1) man page as it is now upstream.
1783 * Added smbtorture to smbclient package.
1784 * Moved rpcclient from the samba package to the smbclient package.
1785 * The Samba daemons (nmbd and smbd) now create a PID file so I changed
1786 all calls to start-stop-daemon to use the PID file.
1787 * Fixed debian/rules to install mksmbpasswd (fixes #27655).
1788 * Modified /etc/init.d/samba so nmbd is started without the -a (append
1789 to the log file instead of overwrite) switch. The new behavior of
1790 nmbd is to NOT overwrite log files, so the -a switch can be deleted
1792 * Moved from debstd to debhelper.

1799 the one I was trying to fix: in /etc/init.d/samba I got rid of the test
1800 that tells us whether the Samba daemons are running from inetd or as
1801 standalone daemons. I corrected the problem by editing again
1802 /etc/init.d/samba to uncomment the test.

1839 * New upstream version (see /usr/doc/samba/WHATSNEW.txt for a
1840 description of what has changed). I built a 1.9.18p9-1 but I
1841 never released it because an obscure bug was found just a couple
1842 of days before the official release, so the Samba Team stopped
1843 the rollover of 1.9.18p9.
1844 * Updated documentation (new files were added to the docs/ directory
1845 that were not installed in /usr/doc/samba/).
1846 * Fixed long standing bug #7695 (smb.conf's man page doesn't document
1847 'printing=lprng') - I made a couple of changes to the man page to
1848 include references to lprng.
1849 * Fixes bug #24930 (samba needs to suggest psmisc?). I don't think it
1850 is necessary to make samba suggest psmisc just because the postinst
1851 script mentions to call killall. So, I removed all references to
1852 "killall" in the scripts.
1853 * Fixes bug #25999 (Samba does not by default work with unix password
1854 sync): I added the "passwd program" and "passwd chat" parameters to
1855 the sample smb.conf to reflect the Debian environment.

1872 "grave" bug #23903 (samba maps username before authenicating with
1873 NT password server).
1874 * Added a "sleep 2" between "start-stop-daemon --stop" and
1875 "start-stop-daemon --start" in /etc/init.d/samba so when this script
1876 is called with the "restart" parameter the Samba daemons are restarted
1877 properly. This fixes bug #24211 (init.d script doesn't restart).
1878 * Sent start-stop-daemon output in /etc/init.d/samba to /dev/null to
1879 avoid annoying warning messages.
1880 * Added perfomance tune parameters to sample /etc/smb.conf (SO_SNDBUF=4096

1897 from inetd and the user runs /etc/init.d/samba to start|stop|restart
1898 Samba (there's no point on doing this because inetd will start the

1980 configuration options). New scheme stores Debian specific
1981 configuration information in /etc/samba/debian_config.
1982 * Changes to /usr/sbin/sambaconfig, prerm and postinst to support the
1983 new configuration scheme.
1984 * Moved required kernel 2.1.x include files inside the source tree
1985 so I don't have to do very nasty things like creating crazy
1986 symlinks in /usr/include to make this package compile. This
1987 allows non-root users to build the package and fixes bug

1990 reported by lintian).
1991 * The /etc/init.d/samba script now supports the force-reload
1992 argument, as required by the policy (problem reported by lintian).
1993 * Added a "rm /etc/cron.weekly/samba" at the end of the postinst.
1994 * Now the samba package can be installed even if no nmbd or smbd processes
1995 are running. This fixes the following bugs: #8917, #9334, #10268,
1996 #10411, #11146 and #13387.

1998 * Added a --no-reload option to sambaconfig to not reload Samba
1999 after configuration.
2000 * Created man pages for sambaconfig(8), addtosmbpass(8),
2001 mksmbpasswd(8) and nmblookup(1).

2020 I no longer deserve to be a Debian developer! So, this version
2021 fixes bug #18438 and some of the bugs I claimed to fix in
2022 1.9.18p2-2. Oh, by the way, I fixed the problem by running debstd
2023 with -m in debian/rules (man pages are installed by "make install"
