+This is the first release candidate of the 3.0.23 code base and is

+New features in 3.0.23rc1 include:

+ supported by Windows 2003 R2.

+commits
+-------
+o Jeremy Allison <jra at samba.org>
+ * BUG 3592: Ignore a file in the tar output from smbclient if the
+ read failed (e.g. due to ACCESS_DENIED). (Based on ideas from

+ * BUG 3668: Workaround issues in Windows server code with LARGE_READX.
+ * Push/Pull kerberos principal and realm names to/from UTF-8.

+ pass with CIFSFS.

+ * Allow configurable guest access to Samba's usershare functionality.
+ * BUG 3587: Make byte-range locking tdb self-cleaning.
+ * Ensure every exit error path in the session setup code calls
+ nt_status_squash().

+ winbindd.
+ * Make "change notify timeout" a per-share parameter.
+ * Fix regression in SAMBA_4_0's smbtorture DENY tests.
+ * Fix valgrind-spotted issue in BASE-DELETE test.
+ * Fix early termination condition in winbindd when trying to
+ connect to a remote DC.
+ * Instruct winbindd to ignore fd_set when select() returns -1.
+ * BUG 3779: Make nmbd udp sockets non-blocking to prevent problem
+ with select returning true but no data being available.
+
+
+o Timur Bakeyev <timur at com.bat.ru>
+ * BUG 2961: Fix compile warnings for pam_smbpass.
+ * BUG 2746, 3763: Fix compile warnings in pam_winbind.
+
+
+o Andrew Bartlett <abartlet at samba.org>
+ * Work around abort() in the OpenLDAP client libs caused by a NULL
+ msg pointer.
+
+
+o Gerald (Jerry) Carter <jerry at samba.org>
+ * Normalize printing keys when deleting.
+ * Only store LANMAN passwords on a change if 'lanman auth = yes'.
+ * Look at the NT password (not lanman one) when determining if 'smbpasswd
+ -e' should probably for a password.
+ * Default eventlog tdbs to mode 0660 to allow easier access by
+ BUILTIN\Administrators.
+ * Remove extra call to create_user on member servers without winbindd.
+ * Replace the use of OpenLDAP's ldap_domain2hostlist() for locating
+ AD DC's with out own DNS SRV queries.
+ * Fix compile error on HP-UX reported by Ryan Novosielski.
+ * Rewrite 'net ads join' to share common code with 'net rpc join'
+ and behave more like a Windows XP client.
+ * Remove --with-ldapsam option from configure (only used for
+ backwards compatibility for 2.2 smb.conf files).
+ * Remove 'wins partners' and 'hosts equiv' smb.conf parameters.
+ * Remove rhosts authentication module.
+ * Reimplement 'net ads leave' to disable the machine account in the
+ domain rather than removing it.
+
+
+o Guenther Deschner <gd at samba.org>
+ [pam_winbind]
+ * Attempt to send the correct warning from pam_winbind when a password
+ change was attempted too early.
+ * Don't use cached credentials when changing passwords.
+ * Correctly disallow unauthorized access when logging on with the
+ kerberized pam_winbind and workstation restrictions are in effect.
+ * Save useless round trips in pam_winbind's auth calls.
+ * Make the existence of the /etc/security/pam_winbind.conf file
+ non-critical and fallback to only parse the argv options in that
+ case.
+
+
+ [winbindd]
+ * Add winbind debug class to the main winbindd process.
+ * Be consistent between rpc and ads winbind backend: let the
+ ads backend query the samlogon cache first as well.
+ * Ignore BUILTIN groups when searching AD for group memberships.
+ * Fix KRB5KDC_ERR_POLICY -> NTSTATUS mapping.
+ * Cleanup credential caches from winbind's linked list.
+ * Fix 'winbindd -n' for new persistent caches.
+ * Fix searching by SID in winbindd.
+ * Add "smbcontrol winbind onlinestatus" for debugging purpose.
+ * Prefer to use the indexed objectCategory attribute (instead of
+ objectClass which is not indexed on AD) in LDAP queries.
+ * Free LDAP result in ads_get_attrname_by_oid().
+ * Prevent unnecessary storing of password in a WINBINDD_CCACHE_ENTRY.

+ (based on patches from Howard Wilkinson and Bob Gautier).
+ * Add more robust code for fallback when lookup_usergroups() fails.
+
+ [misc]
+ * Fix 'net rpc join' for winbindd running on a Samba DC.
+ * Add help text for new 'net rpc audit' utility.

+ netbios name when we are a DC.
+ * Add some more client rpc for the querydominfo calls (from samba4 idl).
+ * Process all the supported info levels in the samr_query_domain_info2
+ call.
+ * Wrap the samr_query_domain_info2() call around
+ samr_query_domain_info().
+ * Fix segv in smbctool.
