Samba 3.5.9 Available for Download
=============================
Release Notes for Samba 3.5.9
June 14, 2011
=============================
This is the latest stable release of Samba 3.5.
Major enhancements in Samba 3.5.9 include:
o Sgid bit lost on folder rename (bug #7996).
o ACL can get lost when files are being renamed (bug #7987).
o Respect "allow trusted domains = no" in Winbind (bug #6966).
o Samba now follows Windows behaviour as a kerberos client,
requesting a CIFS/ ticket (bug #7893).
New Kerberos behaviour
----------------------
A new parameter 'client use spnego principal' defaults to 'no' and
means Samba will use CIFS/hostname to obtain a kerberos ticket, acting
more like Windows when using Kerberos against a CIFS server in
smbclient, Winbind and other Samba client tools. This will change
which servers we will successfully negotiate Kerberos connections to.
This is due to Samba no longer trusting a server-provided hint which
is not available from Windows 2008 or later. For correct operation
with all clients, all aliases for a server should be recorded as a as
a servicePrincipalName on the server's record in AD.
