+                   Release Notes for Samba 3.0.25a
+                             May 25, 2007
+                   ===============================
+
+This is the second production release of the Samba 3.0.25 code 
+base and is the version that servers should be run for for all 
+current bug fixes.  
+
+Major bug fixes included in Samba 3.0.25a are:
+
+  o Missing supplementary Unix group membership when using "force 
+    group".
+  o Premature expiration of domain user passwords when using a 
+    Samba domain controller.
+  o Failure to open the Windows object picker against a server
+    configured to use "security = domain".
+  * Authentication failures when using security = server.
+
+
+Changes to MS-DFS Root Share Behavior
+=====================================
+
+Please be aware that the initial value for the "msdfs root" share 
+parameter was changed in the 3.0.25 release series and that this 
+option is now disabled by default.  Windows clients frequently require 
+a reboot in order to clear any cached information about MS-DFS
+root shares on a server and you may experience failures accessing
+file services on Samba 3.0.25 servers until the client reboot 
+is performed.  Alternately, you may explicitly re-enable the 
+parameter in smb.conf.   Please refer to the smb.conf(5) man page
+for more details.
