Major new features:
-------------------
- Active Directory support. This release is able to join a ADS realm
- as a member server and authenticate users using LDAP/kerberos.

- Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate UNICODE on the wire and
internally there is now a much better infrastructure for multi-byte
- New authentication system. The internal authentication system has
been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are internal,
- but the new auth system is also very configurable.

+Changes in alpha24:
-------------------
- Added Parameters
-
- * client NTLMv2 auth
- * client lanman auth
- * client signing
- * client use spnego
- * max reported print jobs

-
-

- from IVAL (uint32) to SMB_OFF_T (off_t or off64_t, both *signed*
- types). The sign extension would cause the offset to be treated

+ LDAP Schema Changes
+ -------------------
+ A new objectclass (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace the old
+ sambaAccount. This change aids us in the renaming of attributes to prevent
+ clashes with attributes from other vendors. There is a conversion script
+ (examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to modify and LDIF file to the new schema.
+
+ Example:
+
+ $ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." > old.ldif
+ $ convertSambaAccount <DOM SID> old.ldif new.ldif
+
+ The <DOM SID> can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid <DOMAINNAME>'
+ on the Samba PDC as root.
+
+ The sambaDomain and sambaGroupMapping objects have also been modified
+ to use the new attribute naming conventions as well. There are no
+ conversion scripts for this data since the old schema was never published
+ in a stable release.
+
+ The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
+ "ldapsam_compat" passdb backend.
+
+ Parameters

+ a distributed winbind solution
