samba (2.2.2.cvs20020201-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Getting ready for Samba 2.2.3.
* Using a poor's man build system to keep our patches to upstream
under the debian/ directory.

samba (2.2.2-12) unstable; urgency=high
* (Steve) Patch for source/client/client.c.
Closes: #86438 smbclient: Transfering several GB causes the average
speed to be messed up.
* Uploading with urgency=high to expedite the move from unstable
to testing because of the security problem fixed in -11.

samba (2.2.2-11) unstable; urgency=low
* Building with --with-libsmbclient. We have created two new
packages: libsmbclient and libsmbclient-dev. Hopefully this
will help some people that want to add the capability of
speaking SMB to their applications.
Closes: #117132 - libsmbclient support library?
* (Steve) Make swat do the right thing when reading (parsing)
the saved preferences in smb.conf.
Closes: #55617 swat mutilates the linpopup message command.
* Updated README.Debian. Updated descriptions in debian/control.
* Remembered to bump up version number in source/include/version.h
(need to automate this or else I'll keep forgetting.)
* (Steve) one liner for source/web/diagnose.c.
Closes: #106976 - smbd/nmbd not running message with swat/linuxconf.
* Added '|| true' to the post-rotate script so logrotate doesn't
fail if either nmbd or smbd is not running.
Closes: #127897 - /etc/logrotate.d/samba fails if there is no smbd process.
* Fixed incorrect file locations in swat's man page and added a
Debian-specific note to /usr/share/doc/swat/README.
Closes: #71586 swat: needs documentation fixes for debian.
* smbmount in the smbfs package does not have the setuid bit set.
Apparently, smbmount uses libsmb without checking the environment.
Thanks to Christian Jaeger <christian.jaeger@sl.ethz.ch> for
finding the local root exploit.
* Applied old patch from Jerry) Carter" <jerry@samba.org> to correct
the following two problems in Samba 2.2.2:
- %U and %G could not be used in services names
in smb.conf.
- %G would fail to be expanded in an "include = ..."
line.

samba (2.2.2-8) unstable; urgency=low
* Added "Replaces: samba (<= 2.2.2-5)" to the smbclient section in
debian/control so rpcclient.1, which was in samba-2.2.2-5, does not

* (Steve) Adds manpage for rpcclient to the proper file,
removes smbtorture from the distro because this tool isn't intended for
widespread consumption.
Closes: #63057 - no manual page for smbtorture.

samba (2.2.2-4) unstable; urgency=low
* Applied patch from Steve to work around problem in glibc that affects the
HPPA architecure. The patch detects the error condition at configure time
and compiles without LFS support if necessary.
Closes: Bug#126763: samba completely broken on hppa.
* Including unicode_map.1251.
Closes: Bug#126719: samba-common: unicode_map.1251 missing.

samba (2.2.2-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Backed out changes to source/filename.c per Andrew Tridgell's request.
This changes were introduced in 2.2.1a-7 as an attempt to fix #47493.
Tridge found out that they break smbd.
* Changed version number in source/includes/version.h so it is clear that
this is a version of Samba packaged for Debian. This is another request from
Tridge and will help the Samba Team to get bogus bug reports.
* Added Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf and other README files to the
/usr/share/doc/<package>/ directories.
* Installing libnss_winbind.so and pam_winbind.so.
Closes: #116790: nss and pam modules for winbind missing.

samba (2.2.2-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream version.
* Temporary fix for #113763 (Steve Langasek)
* Quick hack to avoid smbmount reveal password length. Please note
that even with this hack there is a small window when password is
completely visible with 'ps aux'. There are other methods that should
be used to automate mounting of SMB shares.
Closes: #112195: smbmount-2.2.x reveals password length.
* Applied patch from Steve Langasek <vorlon@debian.org> to prevent
forcing use of setresuid() in Sparc.
Closes: #112779: samba build forces use of setresuid, which causes
smbd to fail on Sparc.
-- Eloy A. Paris <peloy@debian.org> Mon, 15 Oct 2001 10:26:10 -0400

* s/\/bin\/mail/\/usr\/bin\/mail/ in smb.conf's man page (HTML and
sgml as well.)
Closes: #110963: smb.conf: mail should be /usr/bin/mail.
* Documented better smbclient's -W behavior. Patch from Steve
Langasek.
Closes: #53672: smbclient: -W flag is interpreted as domain, not
workgroup.
-- Eloy A. Paris <peloy@debian.org> Tue, 4 Sep 2001 23:10:41 -0400
samba (2.2.1a-8) unstable; urgency=low
* Set some reasonable default perms for the samba logdir (again,
thanks to vorlon :-)
Closes: #72529: insecure permissions on log files.

samba (2.2.1a-6) unstable; urgency=low
* Backed out fix to #47493 introduced in 2.2.1a-4 as it is causing
smbd to die with signal 11 under some unidentified situations.
Closes: #109774: Latest debian version breaks printer driver download.
Closes: #109946: not all files appear in samba-exported directories.
* Another patch from Steve Langasek. This one adds quotes around
printer names for print systems it's reasonable for Debian to
support. Together with the patch in #29957 (see changelog for
2.2.1a-4), this should take care of the problems with multi-word
printer names in Samba.
-- Eloy A. Paris <peloy@debian.org> Fri, 24 Aug 2001 21:12:27 -0400
samba (2.2.1a-5) unstable; urgency=low
* Important changes that affect how Samba is built on Debian
machines are implemented in this release. All of this changes
were suggested by the energetic Steve Langasek <vorlon@debian.org>,
and his arguments were so sound and reasonable that I decided
to implement them. Here's Steve's original changelog:
* Fix up the build system to avoid needing to run configure
as root to answer questions we already know the answers to.
* In the process, make surprising progress towards being able to
cross-compile the samba packages.
-- Eloy A. Paris <peloy@debian.org> Fri, 24 Aug 2001 01:08:06 -0400

a bug-free Samba" Langasek.
Closes: #47493: Samba doesn't handle ':' in dir names right.
-- Eloy A. Paris <peloy@debian.org> Tue, 21 Aug 2001 23:26:38 -0400
samba (2.2.1a-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Steve Langasek <vorlon@netexpress.net> has been hard at work in
the last few days looking at the long list of open bugs filed
against the Samba packages. I don't know how to thank him. It's been
a pleasure working with Steve, and all the fixes, patches, etc. in
this release come from him. The bug list is greatly reduced thanks
to Steve's efforts.
* Steve's additions/modifications/patches/etc. are:
- New package that (libpam-smbpass) provides pam_smbpass. Before, this
was provided in another package but now the sources are part of
the Samba sources so we can start providing it from here.
Closes: #107043 - pam_smbpass now present in Samba source,
should be built from there
- Patch to source/smbd/service.c that allows admins to call
/bin/umount from the root postexec of a Samba share.
Closes: #40561 - samba pre/postexec commands do not work.
- Clear TMPDIR before starting smbd in /etc/init.d/samba.
Closes: #51295 - Problems with Samba and TMPDIR.
- Correction to documentation of "guest only".
Closes #38282 - "guest only" share still requires a password.
* Applied patch from Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es> to convert
/usr/sbin/mksmbpasswd from a shell script into a real awk script.
Sorry it took so long, Santiago; I hadn't realized you even
provided a patch :-)
Closes: #77891 - mksmbpasswd could be a real awk script.
* Updated description of the smbfs and smbclient packages. Also have
each package recommend the other.
Closes: #108650: Should suggest or recommend smbfs.
-- Eloy A. Paris <peloy@debian.org> Mon, 13 Aug 2001 22:21:55 -0400
samba (2.2.1a-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Build-depends: depend on debhelper (>=2.0.103).
Closes: #105795: Build-Depends are wrong.
* Run samba's preinst and postinst scripts without -e so failed commands
do not abort installation.
Closes: #106384: postinstall crashes abnormally. (And really closes
#104471.)
-- Eloy A. Paris <peloy@debian.org> Thu, 26 Jul 2001 00:30:37 -0400
samba (2.2.1a-1) unstable; urgency=low

Closes: #98518: Samba 2.2 can't act as PDC for NT4/W2K due to
incompatibility with PAM.
Closes: #97447: nmbd crashes due to bugs in DAVE 2.5.2.
Closes: #95777: Samba 2.2 is unable to join or authenticate against
Samba 2.2 PDC domain.
Closes: #68842: samba should use PAM for password changing (I
haven't personally tried this one, but it's been
advertised this works.)
Closes: #102506: PAM account checking fails.
Closes: #102518: Complains about unknown paramter "obey pam
restrictions"
Closes: #94774: Build failure on PARISC machines.
* Moved away from /etc/cron.weekly/samba for log file rotation.
Now using logrotate.
Closes: #95548: typo in /etc/cron.weekly/samba.
Closes: #74951: nmbd does not rename its log file.
* Removed Debian-specific addtosmbpass.8 man page since this script
is not longer provided upstream. Users should use the smbpasswd
program instead.
* Updated sample /etc/samba/smb.conf to reflect the recent changes
affecting handling of PAM authentication. Also updated
/etc/pam.d/samba.
-- Eloy A. Paris <peloy@debian.org> Wed, 11 Jul 2001 00:44:14 -0400
samba (2.2.0.final.a-1) unstable; urgency=high

samba (2.2.0.final-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Added libcupsys2-dev to Build-Depends.
* Samba depends now (again) on netbase so update-inetd is always
available for the Samba maintainer scripts.
Closes: #86063: Fails to uninstall if inetd is not installed.
* Updated source/config.{sub,guess} so ARM built doesn't fail.
Closes: #94480: config.sub out of date; can't build on arm.
Closes: #85801: config.sub/guess out of date.
* Not using brace expansion, i.e. {foo,bar} in any of the maintainers
scripts nor in debian/rules.
Closes: #88007: samba postrm has is not POSIX sh compliant.
-- Eloy A. Paris <peloy@debian.org> Sat, 21 Apr 2001 17:27:18 -0400
samba (2.2.0.final-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release. Lots of new things. See WHATSNEW.txt.
* Goofy version number because of my stupidity when assigning version
numbers to the CVS packages I have been uploading to experimental.
Will be fixed when 2.2.1 is released. I've no doubts a 2.2.1 release
will follow soon.
-- Eloy A. Paris <peloy@debian.org> Tue, 17 Apr 2001 22:58:14 -0400

samba (2.2.0.cvs20010316-1) experimental; urgency=low
* Started working on Samba 2.2.0. Using the SAMBA_2_2_0 branch
from Samba CVS.
* Not compiling rpctorture as it has compile errors. Change in
debian/rules.
* Removed Linux kernel 2.0.x and smbfs compatibility baggage. Now
the smbfs does not support 2.0.x kernels; a kernel > 2.2.x is
needed to use smbfs. Updated debian/control, debian/rules and
README.Debian to reflect this change.
* Added to swat a versioned dependency on samba (so a user is forced to
install a new version of swat each time a new version of samba is
installed.)
-- Eloy A. Paris <peloy@debian.org> Sun, 18 Mar 2001 14:21:14 -0500

samba (2.0.7-4) unstable; urgency=medium
* Applied Urban Widmark <urban@teststation.com> fixes to smbmount. Urban
is the maintainer of the smbfs in the kernel and of the userland
utilities.
* Links to HTML documents are correct now.
Closes: #69439: swat: Broken help file symlinks
Closes: #72615: samba-doc directory changed: removed htmldocs from path
Closes: #75847: swat: Wrong symlink
Closes: #66857: Wrong links to html documents.
Closes: #77912: misplaced documentation symlinks for swat
* Building Samba with CUPS support. For this I reverted the change to
source/configure.in that I did in 2.0.7-3 and re-ran autoconf.
Closes: #59038: samba: not compiled with cups support.
* Fix against previous known/unknown user time difference patch to swat
(make username / password lookups take the same time.) Remove CGI
logging code in Swat.
Closes: #76341 - Security holes in swat
* Updated Build-depends.
* Updated debian/copyright to refer to the correct location of the GPL.
* debian/rules: changed DESTDIR to `pwd`/debian/samba (was
`pwd`/debian/tmp.)
* debian/rules: added '--sourcedir=debian/samba' to dh_movefiles (for some
strange reason dh_installdirs is not creating debian/tmp/ so I needed
to tweak everything to install stuff in debian/samba rather than in
debian/tmp.)
* debian/control: changed section of samba-docs to 'doc' (was 'docs')
* Using relative symlinks in /usr/share/samba/swat/ (changed debian/rules
and source/scripts/installswat.sh.)
* Fixed (by tweaking debian/rules)
/usr/bin/{smbmnt,smbumount-2.*,smbmount-2.*} to be suid.
* Added "Provides: samba-client" to smbclient's section in control.
Closes: #71143: smbclient: Smbclient should provide samba-client.
* Fix for desired_access being zero in map_share_mode() (patch to
source/smbd/nttrans.c.) Thanks to Gary Wilson
<wilsong@sergievsky.cpmc.columbia.edu> for bringing this patch to my
attention.
* Hacked source/lib/util_sec.c so smbd works fine in both 2.0.x and
2.2.x kernels even when the build is done in a system running
a 2.2.x kernel.
Closes: #78858: samba-common: samba2.0.7 needs kernel 2.2.x but
doesnt depend on it.
Closes: #72758: README.Debian should comment on 2.0.x kernels.
Closes: #56935: Samba 2.0.6 and Kernel 2.0.x.
Closes: #58126: Samba 2.0.6 and Kernel 2.0.x -- more info.
Closes: #60580: samba: failed to set gid.
Closes: #64280: Samba panics, can't set gid.
Closes: #66816: Must deal with brokenness under 2.0.x.
Closes: #67682: potatoe samba 2.0.7-3 out of order, 2.0.5a-1 OK.
Closes: #69735: PANIC: failed to set gid
Closes: #66122: "smbclient -L localhost -U%" returns with "tree
connect failed: code 0".
Closes: #57637: Samba says tree connect error.
Closes: #58015: potato samba wins support is broken.
* Fixed comments in sample smb.conf to point to the correct location.
Closes: #69578: comments in smb.conf points to wrong path.
* Move codepages from /etc/samba/codepages/ to
/usr/share/samba/codepages/.
Closes: #63813: samba; codepages should go in /usr/lib.
* Moved /var/samba/ to /var/state/samba/.
Closes: #49011: samba package not FHS compliant.
* Hacked source/configure.in (and re-ran autoconf) so yp_get_default_domain()
is found.
Closes: #44558: netgroup support missing in samba 2.0.5a-1.
* /etc/init.d/samba was calling start-stop-daemon with both --pidfile and
--exec. Got rid of --exec so --pidfile works.

samba (2.0.7-3) frozen unstable; urgency=high
* Release manager: this closes a RC bug.
* Commented out the section in source/configure.in that auto-detects
CUPS support and then ran autoconf to generate a new configure
script. This was done to prevent machines that have libcupsys-dev
installed from detecting CUPS support and adding an unwanted
dependency on libcupsys. This way the whole printing system
won't break on upgrades. CUPS support should be added after
Potato is released.
Closes: #65185: samba-common: Upgrading removes printing system.
Closes: #64496: smbfs: smbfs on powerpc has a dependency on cupsys.
* Updated README.debian.
Closes: #64594: Old README.Debian in /usr/share/doc/samba.

samba (2.0.7-2) frozen unstable; urgency=high
* Release manager: this closes RC bug #63839 that prevents Samba
to be built from source.
* Fixed a stupid typo in debian/rules that was preventing Samba
to be built from source.
Closes: #63839: samba_2.0.7-1(frozen): build error (SAMBABOOK dir)
* I forgot to mention that O'Reilly's book "Using Samba" was donated
to the Open Source community. The book was included in Samba 2.0.7
in HTML format and is part of the Debian Samba package since
Samba 2.0.7-1.
* In Samba 2.0.7-1, the "Using Samba" book and a number of HTML help
files were supposed to be provided in both the swat and the samba-doc
packages. This duplication was a waste of space. Starting with
Samba 2.0.7-2, swat recommends samba-doc and the book and the HTML
files are included only in samba-doc, and are accessed via symlinks
from within swat.
Closes: #58810: superfluous files in swat?
* Added a 'echo "."' to /etc/init.d/samba in the reload) section.
Closes: #63394: "echo ." missing in reload section of init.d script
* Fixed typo in docs/htmldocs/using_samba/ch06_05.html.
Closes: #64344: typo "encrypted passwords"
* Cleaned up samba's postrm script so important common files aren't
deleted when samba is purged. Created a samba-common.postrm script.
Closes: #62675: purging samba removes /etc/samba/smb.conf.
Closes: #63386: samba --purge removes /etc/samba dir even though
smbclient/smbfs/samba-common packages are still installed

samba (2.0.7-1) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream version. Dear Release Manager: please allow this
package to go to frozen as it contains fixes to a _lot_ of problems.
You can take a look at all the problems fixed by this release in
the official upstream announcement at
http://us1.samba.org/samba/whatsnew/samba-2.0.7.html.
* Added --with-utmp to add utmp support to smbd (this is new in Samba
2.0.7)
* Closes: #62148 - samba not rotating filled logs.
* Closes: #56711: Samba doesn't manage well long share name (please note
that it's possible to connect to shares with names longer than

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

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

that should take care of the internal errors reported in bug #52698
(release-critical). Wichert: please test as I never could reproduce
it here.
(Closes: #52698 - samba gets interbal errors)
* Moved samba-docs to the 'docs' section.
(Closes: #51077 - samba-doc: wrong section)
* Added reload capability to /etc/init.d/samba (only for smbd because
nmbd does not support reloading after receiving a signal).
(Closes: #50954 - patch to add reload support to /etc/init.d/samba)
* Corrected "passwd chat" parameter in sample /etc/samba/smb.conf so
Unix password syncronization works with the passwd program currently
in Potato. Thanks to Augustin Luton <aluton@hybrigenics.fr> for
the correct chat script.
* Stole source/lib/util_sec.c from the CVS tree of what will become

samba (2.0.6-2) unstable; urgency=low
* samba-common now depends on libpam-modules (not on libpam-pwdb, which
I have been told is obsolete). I modified /etc/pam.d/samba accordingly
to reflect the change.
(Closes: Bug#50722: pam pwdb dependence?).
* The old /etc/pam.d/samba file which had references to pam_pwdb caused
smbd to die with a signal 11. The new /etc/pam.d/samba file fixes
this problem.
(Closes: #50876, #50838, #50698)
* Compiled with syslog support (use at your own risk: syslog support
is still experimental in Samba). I added the parameters "syslog = 0"
and "syslog only = no" to the sample smb.conf to avoid pestering
users that do not want Samba to log through syslog.
(Closes: Bug#50703 - syslog only option doesn't work)
* Removed the stupid code in the smbmount wrapper script that tries
to load the smbfs module if smbfs is not listed in /proc/filesystems.
(Closes: Bug#50759 - Non-root can't run smbmount if SMBFS is compiled
as a module in the kernel)
* Added /bin/mount.smb as a symlink pointing to /usr/bin/smbmount so
'mount -t smb ...' works just as 'mount -t smbfs ...'.

samba (2.0.6-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Samba 2.0.6 has been released. This is the first try of the Debian
Samba packages. I know for sure that smbd won't work properly on
2.0.x kernels because the patch that Wichert sent me does not apply
to the new source/lib/util_sec.c in Samba 2.0.6. That file was
completely re-written by Tridge.
* Updated README.Debian.
* A new client utility called smbspool appeared in Samba 2.0.6. I added
this utility to the smbclient package, although I haven't tried it yet.
* Added the symlink /sbin/mount.smbfs that points to /usr/bin/smbmount.
This is to be able to type "mouont -t smbfs ...". This symlink goes
in the smbfs package, of course.
* This new release should close the following bugs (some of these
are fixed for sure in this new upstream release, some others I could
not reproduce but I believe they are fixed if they were real bugs.
As always, please feel free to re-open the bugs if the problem is not
solved).
Closes: Bug#33240: icmp mask needs a bug workaround.

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

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

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

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

* I'm back from the Honey Moon. We are pretty busy because we are moving
to Pittsburgh (from Caracas, Venezuela) in aprox. 24 hours and we still
have plenty of things to pack and to do. Samba 2.0.5 was released
while I was in the Honey Moon and it is just now (almost 3 AM) when
I have time to package it.
* Because of the security problems fixed in 2.0.5, this upload goes
to both stable and unstable (the Security Team asked for this).
* This release (2.0.5a-1) was compiled on a Slink system. 2.0.5a-2 will
be compiled on a Potato system.
* Added a "Replaces: samba (<= 1.9.18p10-7)" to the samba-common
section in debian/control (as suggested by Steve Haslam
<araqnid@debian.org>) to fix the problems that appear when upgrading
from the Samba package in Slink. Please test this as I am completely
unable to do so. This should fix bug #39818 (Upgrading Samba from the
Slink version).
* Removed the hacks to the autoconf stuff that I added to 2.0.4b-2 in
order to have defined several socket options when compiling with
Linux 2.2.x kernel headers - the fix is now upstream.
* Finally!!! smbmount was re-written (thanks Tridge :-) to use a command
line syntax similar to the one used by the old smbmount (for 2.0.x
kernels). This means that the wrapper script is no longer necessary
so I removed it. In its place there is a simple wrapper script that
calls smbmount-2.0.x or smbmount-2.2.x depending on the kernel that is
running.
* Because of the wedding, the Honey Moon, and our move to Pittsburgh,
I can't work on fixing other bugs in this release.

* Dark (and archive maintainers): please remove from Potato the smbfsx
binary package and also the old source package for smbfs. smbfs and
smbfsx have been merged starting with this version.
* Merged the old smbfs package with Samba. Now there is only one package
for the smbfs utilities and is called "smbfs". The package smbfsx
does not exist any more and this new smbfs package must be used
for both 2.0.x and > 2.1.x kernels.
* A wrapper script was added to handle the syntax change in smbmount
in the new smbfs utilities (required for kernels > 2.1.70). The
home page for this script is http://www.wittsend.com/mhw/smbmount.html.
Please _note_ that this will change (for good) in Samba 2.0.5 :-)
* Added debian/smbumount.sh. It's another wrapper that calls smbumount-2.2.x
or smbumount-2.0.x depending on the kernel currently running.
* Not using -t for savelog in cron.weekly script.
* Recompiled without libreadlineg-dev (Samba does not seem to be using
it so unnecessary dependencies are produced).
* glibc2.1 build.
* Removed smbpasswd.8 man page from the debian/ directory because it is
now being provided upstream.
* Got rid of the ugly hack I put in source/lib/util_sock.c to have
IPTOS_LOWDELAY and IPTOS_THROUGHPUT defined. Now I patched the
autoconf stuff to #include <netinet/ip.h>. I've sent the patch to
Jeremy Allison so we have this upstream.

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

a "chmod u+s" for each binary in debian/rules and by creating the
file debian/smbfsx.suid.
* Minor patch to source/client/smbumount.c to allow normal users
to umount what they have mounted (problem was a kernel vs. libc6
size mismatch). I sent the patch upstream.
* Created debian/smbwrapper.dirs so the directory /usr/lib/samba/ is
created.
* Modified debian/rules to move smbwrapper.so from debian/tmp/usr/bin/ to

-- Eloy A. Paris <peloy@debian.org> Sat, 6 Feb 1999 06:51:18 -0400
samba (2.0.0final-4) unstable; urgency=low
* The samba postinst made an unwarranted assumption that the file
/etc/samba/smbpasswd exists. If the file did not exist (which is
perfectly valid) the postinst will fail. This fixes #32953.
-- Eloy A. Paris <peloy@debian.org> Fri, 5 Feb 1999 23:32:46 -0400
samba (2.0.0final-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Added to debian/control a "Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}" line for the
samba-common package so dependencies for this package are set
correctly (thanks to Dark for pointing this out).
-- Eloy A. Paris <peloy@debian.org> Thu, 4 Feb 1999 09:45:21 -0400
samba (2.0.0final-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Finally!!! The first upload to unstable. Sorry for the delay folks
but I have been quite busy lately :-) Another reason for the delay
is that I wanted to ease the migration from Samba 1.9.18p10 and
before to Samba 2.0.0. I changed the location of the config. files
from /etc/ to /etc/samba/ and this made things a little bit harder.
* This package needs 2.2 kernel headers to compile (well, this is
true for the smbfsx package, all others compile fine with 2.0 kernel
headers).
* Created a preinst script for the samba package to take care of the
location migration of smb.conf (from /etc/ to /etc/samba/). The
preinst script also takes care of moving /etc/smbpasswd to its new
location (/etc/samba/).
* Created postinst and postrm scripts to add/remove an entry for swat
in /etc/inetd.conf.
* I had forgotten to install the sambaconfig script so I changed
debian/rules to install this script.
* Added a postrm script for the samba package (I had forgotten to add
this script to the new Samba packages after the migration from 1.9.18
to 2.0.0).
* Created a small Perl script that is called from the samba postinst
to convert the smbpasswd from the old format used in version prior
to 2.0.0 to the new one used in 2.0.0 and beyond.
* The upgrade process should be automatically now. Please let me know
of any problems you encounter.

samba (2.0.0final-1) experimental; urgency=low
* Finally!!! Samba 2.0.0 is here! I am not uploading to unstable
because I still have to work out the migration from the old
samba packages to the new ones. I also need to work more on the
new swat package.

samba (2.0.0beta3-1) experimental; urgency=low
* New upstream version.
* I have just realized that the documentation patches (for man pages)
that I used for the 1.9.18 release are not longer necessary because
there was a major re-write of all the Samba documentation that added
the missing bits of information. So, I have just removed these minor
patches.
-- Eloy A. Paris <peloy@debian.org> Tue, 8 Dec 1998 12:00:30 -0400
samba (2.0.0beta2-1) experimental; urgency=low
* New upstream version.
* This new version fixes the potential security problem that
was posted to debian-private (using the "message command" parameter
to execute arbitrary commands from messages sent from LinPopUp).
* Changed /etc/init.d/samba to use one of the variables stored in
/etc/samba/debian_config to know how Samba is being run (from inetd or
as daemons) instead of grepping /etc/inetd.conf which may not exist
if the user is running xinetd (this fixes bug #29687 - assumes using
vanilla inetd)
-- Eloy A. Paris <peloy@debian.org> Mon, 23 Nov 1998 23:32:03 -0400
samba (2.0.0beta1-1) experimental; urgency=low
* First beta release of the samba-2.0.0 code. Before the beta I was
working with sources downloaded directly from the CVS server. This
package goes into experimental and I plan to release the new
samba to unstable as soon as it gets out of beta.
* Created several packages out of the Samba sources. They are:
samba (nmbd and smbd daemons + related programs), smbclient (FTP
like command line utility to retrieve files from SMB servers),
swat (Samba Web Administration Tool), samba-common (common files
used by samba, smbclient and swat), smbfsx (smbfs utilities for
kernels >= 2.1.70), smbwrapper and samba-doc (Samba documentation).
* Refreshed debian/samba-doc.docs so recently added docs. are
installed in the samba-doc package. New additions include man
pages in the /usr/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/ directory.
* Deleted Debian specific nmblookup(1) man page as it is now upstream.
* Added smbtorture to smbclient package.
* Moved rpcclient from the samba package to the smbclient package.
* The Samba daemons (nmbd and smbd) now create a PID file so I changed
all calls to start-stop-daemon to use the PID file.
* Fixed debian/rules to install mksmbpasswd (fixes #27655).
* Modified /etc/init.d/samba so nmbd is started without the -a (append
to the log file instead of overwrite) switch. The new behavior of
nmbd is to NOT overwrite log files, so the -a switch can be deleted
safely.
* Moved from debstd to debhelper.

samba (1.9.18p10-5) frozen unstable; urgency=high
* Oppsss!!! While fixing bug #26884 I introduced a bug even worse than
the one I was trying to fix: in /etc/init.d/samba I got rid of the test
that tells us whether the Samba daemons are running from inetd or as
standalone daemons. I corrected the problem by editing again
/etc/init.d/samba to uncomment the test.
* Wishlist bug #28298 (typos in samba) was fixed.
* Wishlist bug #28309 (typos in smb.conf) was fixed.

samba (1.9.18p10-4) unstable; urgency=low
* Minor patch to debian/rules to delete *substvars instead of only
substvars when doing a "debian/rules clean" (thanks to Daniel Jacobowitz
<dmj@andrew.cmu.edu> for this).
* Small patch to source/shmem_sysv.c that eases compilation under
glibc-2.1 (thanks to Daniel <dmj@andrew.cmu.edu> for this).

samba (1.9.18p10-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Sync'ed include files for the smbfs utilities with the ones in
kernel 2.1.119.
* Added to the /usr/doc/samba/examples/ directory a new script called
wins2dns (courtesy of Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@deltatee.com>) that
generates BIND sonze files for hosts in the WINS database.
* Patched smbclient to include enhancements by Magosanyi Arpad
<mag@bunuel.tii.matav.hu> that make scripting easier.
-- Eloy A. Paris <peloy@debian.org> Fri, 28 Aug 1998 13:34:54 -0400
samba (1.9.18p10-1) stable unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream version (see /usr/doc/samba/WHATSNEW.txt for a
description of what has changed). I built a 1.9.18p9-1 but I
never released it because an obscure bug was found just a couple
of days before the official release, so the Samba Team stopped
the rollover of 1.9.18p9.
* Updated documentation (new files were added to the docs/ directory
that were not installed in /usr/doc/samba/).
* Fixed long standing bug #7695 (smb.conf's man page doesn't document
'printing=lprng') - I made a couple of changes to the man page to
include references to lprng.
* Fixes bug #24930 (samba needs to suggest psmisc?). I don't think it
is necessary to make samba suggest psmisc just because the postinst
script mentions to call killall. So, I removed all references to
"killall" in the scripts.
* Fixes bug #25999 (Samba does not by default work with unix password
sync): I added the "passwd program" and "passwd chat" parameters to
the sample smb.conf to reflect the Debian environment.

now part of the new upstream version.
* Corrected small typo in addtosmbpass' man page (fixes #25629).

samba (1.9.18p8-2) frozen unstable; urgency=medium
* Applied patch received from Jeremy Allison (Samba Team) that fixes
"grave" bug #23903 (samba maps username before authenicating with
NT password server).
* Added a "sleep 2" between "start-stop-daemon --stop" and
"start-stop-daemon --start" in /etc/init.d/samba so when this script
is called with the "restart" parameter the Samba daemons are restarted
properly. This fixes bug #24211 (init.d script doesn't restart).
* Sent start-stop-daemon output in /etc/init.d/samba to /dev/null to
avoid annoying warning messages.
* Added perfomance tune parameters to sample /etc/smb.conf (SO_SNDBUF=4096
and SO_RCVBUF=4096 to "socket options" in /etc/smb.conf). I can't
find who sent this suggestion to me. If you are listening, drop me a
note and I'll put your name here :-)
-- Eloy A. Paris <peloy@debian.org> Mon, 29 Jun 1998 08:45:01 -0400
samba (1.9.18p8-1) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release that fixes _lots_ of "ugly" bugs. The list of
fixed bugs is too long to include here (see /usr/doc/samba/WHATSNEW.txt).
* Fixed postinst to quote arguments to if [ arg .. ] constructs
(fixes #22881).
* Applied Jeremy Allison's patch (posted to the samba-ntdom mailing
list) that solves a problem with username maps (the Samba Team did
not catch this problem before final 1.9.18p8).
* Made /etc/init.d/samba to print out a warning when Samba is running
from inetd and the user runs /etc/init.d/samba to start|stop|restart
Samba (there's no point on doing this because inetd will start the
daemons again when there is traffic on UDP port 137-139).
-- Eloy A. Paris <peloy@debian.org> Sat, 13 Jun 1998 00:18:25 -0400
samba (1.9.18p7-4) frozen unstable; urgency=medium
* Fixes the serious problem of having the WINS name server
database getting deleted at boot time. That happened because the
WINS database was being stored under /var/lock/samba/ and all files
under /var/lock/ are deleted at boot time. The place where the WINS
database is stored was moved to /var/samba/.

samba (1.9.18p6-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release that fixes a possible buffer overflow.
This security hole was reported on BugTraq by Drago. The
previous Debian version (1.9.18p5-1) was not released because
1.9.18p5 and 1.9.18p6 were released very closely.

samba (1.9.18p4-2) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* Patched smbclient(1) man page to not reference the unsopported
-A parameter (fixes #6863).
* Changes to start nmbd with the -a option (in /etc/init.d/samba
and in the entry added to /etc/inetd.conf).
* Fixed typo in sample smb.conf (fixes #21484).
* Fixed yet another typo in sample smb.conf (fixes #21447).

samba (1.9.18p4-1) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream version that fixes several bugs.
* New scheme for keeping track of Debian specific configuration.
This new scheme fixes bug #18624 (Samba always asks the user about
configuration options). New scheme stores Debian specific
configuration information in /etc/samba/debian_config.
* Changes to /usr/sbin/sambaconfig, prerm and postinst to support the
new configuration scheme.
* Moved required kernel 2.1.x include files inside the source tree
so I don't have to do very nasty things like creating crazy
symlinks in /usr/include to make this package compile. This
allows non-root users to build the package and fixes bug
#20104.
* Fixed address of the FSF in /usr/doc/samba/copyright (problem
reported by lintian).
* The /etc/init.d/samba script now supports the force-reload
argument, as required by the policy (problem reported by lintian).
* Added a "rm /etc/cron.weekly/samba" at the end of the postinst.
* Now the samba package can be installed even if no nmbd or smbd processes
are running. This fixes the following bugs: #8917, #9334, #10268,
#10411, #11146 and #13387.
* Provides the original README in /usr/doc/samba. This fixes bug #9693.
* Added a --no-reload option to sambaconfig to not reload Samba
after configuration.
* Created man pages for sambaconfig(8), addtosmbpass(8),
mksmbpasswd(8) and nmblookup(1).
* Corrected small typo in sample /etc/smb.conf.
* Added two new parameters to /etc/smb.conf: "preserver case" and
"short preserve case".
* "rm -Rf /var/lock/samba" in postrm when package is being purged.
* Patched upstream source (nmbd.c) to not overwrite log files when
nmbd is called with the -a parameter (fixes #17704: nmbd ignores
-a option).
* /etc/init.d/samba now starts the nmbd daemon with the -a parameter
to not overwrite log files.
-- Eloy A. Paris <peloy@debian.org> Mon, 23 Mar 1998 21:22:03 -0400
samba (1.9.18p3-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream version.
* Oppsss!!! I really screwed it up (actually, debstd did).
1.9.18p2-2 still contained man pages (smbmount and smbumount) part
of other packages. This version does have this corrected. If not,
I no longer deserve to be a Debian developer! So, this version
fixes bug #18438 and some of the bugs I claimed to fix in
1.9.18p2-2. Oh, by the way, I fixed the problem by running debstd
with -m in debian/rules (man pages are installed by "make install"
so it's a bad idea to re-install man pages with debstd).
-- Eloy A. Paris <peloy@debian.org> Mon, 23 Feb 1998 17:32:42 -0400
samba (1.9.18p2-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixes bugs #18017, #17999, #17961, #17932: old 1.9.18p2-1 provided
a man page for smbmount, which conflicts with package smbfs. This
was solved by creating a multi-binary package that produces
package samba and new package smbfsx.
* Fixes bug #18000 (typo in postinst).
* Fixes bug #17958 (postinst asks obsolete question). Actually,
the question is still asked, but only if Samba is run as daemons.
* Created a multi-binary package from the Samba sources: package
samba and new package smbfsx which provides SMB mount utilities
for kernels > 2.1.70.
-- Eloy A. Paris <peloy@debian.org> Mon, 9 Feb 1998 19:47:05 -0400
samba (1.9.18p2-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream version.
* Removed /etc/cron.weekly/samba because Samba does not handle well
rotation of log files (if the log file is rotated Samba will
continue to log to the rotated file, instead of the just created
one). In any case, Samba will rotate log files after an specific
file size.
-- Eloy A. Paris <peloy@debian.org> Tue, 27 Jan 1998 22:34:27 -0400
samba (1.9.18p1-2) unstable; urgency=low

samba (1.9.18alpha14-1) unstable; urgency=low

samba (1.9.18alpha12-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream version.
* Conflicts with the sambades package because the new Samba 1.9.18
series do not depend on the DES libraries to support encrypted
passwords.
* Added parameter "encrypt passwords = yes" to /etc/smb.conf.
* Compiled with support for quotas in disk_free().
* Home directories are now exported read only by default.
* Re-worked debian/rules.
* Re-worked sample smb.conf.

samba (1.9.17p4-1) unstable; urgency=low

will fail otherwise when run by non-root users.
* Dropped PAM support while the PAM libraries are ported to libc6.

samba (1.9.17p2-1) unstable; urgency=low

samba (1.9.17p1-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream version.
* Defined symbol _LINUX_C_LIB_VERSION_MAJOR as 6 in includes.h to shut up
compiler warnings.
* Included rpcsvc/ypclnt.h in includes.h to shut up compiler warnings.
* Included crypt.h to have function prototype for crypt().
* Included netinet/tcp.h to have some socket options included.
* Included netinet/ip.h to have some socket options included.
* Linking with libcrypt (LIBM='... -lcrypt'). Without including this
library smbd generates a seg. fault when authenticating users (?).
-- Eloy A. Paris <debian.org> Wed, 10 Sep 1997 22:09:18 -0400
samba (1.9.17-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream version (called the "Browse Fix Release")
* Added the option --oknodo to the start-stop-daemon invocation in prerm
script. This was because the prerm was failing because start-stop-daemon
was returning an error code if no nmbd or smbd daemons were found
to kill.
* The function yp_get_default_domain(), referenced in three source
files was part of libc5 but with libc6 (glibc2) it has been moved
to libnss_nis. Since the linker was unable to find the function
I had to add LIBSM='-lnss_nis' to debian/rules.
* Added -DNO_ASMSIGNALH and -DGLIBC2 to FLAGSM in debian/rules
because compiling was failing because of conflicts with glibc2.
* Patched source/includes.h to include termios.h if GLIBC2 is defined.
