-
-
-General changes
-===============
-
-The passdb tdbsam version has been raised as among other things the RID counter
-has been moved from the winbindd_idmap.tdb to the passdb.tdb file to make
-"passdb backend = tdbsam" working in clustered environments.
-
-Please note that an updated passdb.tdb file is _not_ compatible with Samba
-versions before 3.3.0! Please backup your passdb.tdb file if
-you use "passdb backend = tdbsam". That can be achieved by running
-
-'tdbbackup /etc/samba/passdb.tdb'
-
-before the update.
-
-
-Configure changes
-=================
-
-The configure option "--with-libdir" has been removed. The library
-directory can still be specified by using the existing "--libdir" option.
-A new option "--with-modulesdir" has been added to allow the specification
-of a separate directory for the shared modules.
-
-
-Configuration changes
-=====================
-
-The default value of "ldap ssl" has been changed to "start tls". This means,
-Samba will use the LDAPv3 StartTLS extended operation (RFC2830) for
-communicating with directory servers by default. If your directory servers
-do not support this extended operation, you will have to set
-"ldap ssl = no". Otherwise, Samba could not contact the directory servers
-anymore!
-
-
-Winbind idmap backend changes
-=============================
-
-The idmap configuration has changed with version 3.3 to something that
-allows a smoother upgrade path from pre-3.0.25 configurations that use
-"idmap backend". The reason for this change is that to many, also to Samba
-developers, the 3.0.25 style configuration with "idmap config" turned out
-to be very complex. Version 3.3 no longer deprecates the "idmap backend"
-parameter, instead with "idmap backend" the default idmap backend is
-specified.
-
-Accordingly, the "idmap config <domain> : default = yes" setting is no
-longer being looked at.
-
-The alloc backend defaults to the default backend, which should be able to
-allocate IDs. In the default distribution the tdb and ldap backends can
-allocate, the ad and rid backends can not. The idmap alloc range is now
-being set with the "old" parameters "idmap uid" and "idmap gid".
-
-The "idmap domains" parameter has been removed.
-
-
-winbind reconnect delay
-=======================
-
-This is a new parameter which specifies the number of seconds the Winbind
-daemon will wait between attempts to contact a Domain controller for a domain
-that is determined to be down or not contactable.
-
-
-Winbind's Name Aliasing
-=======================
-
-Name aliasing in Winbind is a feature that allows an administrator to
-map a fully qualified user or group name from a Windows domain to a
-convenient short name for Unix access.  This is similar to the username
-map functionality supported by smbd but is primary intended for
-clients and servers making use of Winbind's PAM and NSS libraries.
-
-For example, the user "DOMAIN\fred" has been mapped to the Unix name
-"freddie".
-
-   $ getent passwd "DOMAIN\fred"
-   freddie:x:1000:1001:Fred Jones:/home/freddie:/bin/bash
-
-   $ getent passwd freddie
-   freddie:x:1000:1001:Fred Jones:/home/freddie:/bin/bash
-
-The name aliasing support is provided by individual nss_info plugins.
-For example, the new "adex" plugin reads the uid attribute from Active
-Directory to make a short login name to the fully qualified name.
-While the new "hash" module utilizes a local file to map "short_name
-= QUALIFIED\name".  Both user and group name mapping is supported.
-Please refer to the "winbind nss info" option in smb.conf(5) and
-to individual plugin man pages for further details.
-
-
-idmap_hash
-==========
-
-The idmap_hash plugin provides similar support as the idmap_rid
-module.  However, uids and gids are generated from the full domain
-SID using a hashing algorithm that maps the lower 19 bits from the user
-or group RID to bits 0 - 19 in the Unix id and hashes 96 bits from
-the domain SID to bits 20 - 30 in the Unix id.  The result is a 31 bit
-uid or gid that is consistent across machines and provides support for
-trusted domains.
-
-Please refer to the idmap_hash(8) man page for more details.
-
-
-idmap_adex
-==========
-
-The adex idmap/nss_info plugin is an adaptation of the Likewise
-Enterprise plugin with support for OU based cells removed
-(since the Windows pieces to manage the cells are not available).
-
-This plugin supports
-
-      * The RFC2307 schema for users and groups.
-      * Connections to trusted domains
-      * Global catalog searches
-      * Cross forest trusts
-      * User and group aliases
-
-Prerequisite: Add the following attributes to the Partial Attribute
-Set in global catalog:
-
-      * uidNumber
-      * uid
-      * gidNumber
-
-A basic config using the current trunk code would look like:
-
-[global]
-	idmap backend = adex
-	idmap uid = 10000 - 29999
-	idmap gid = 10000 - 29999
-	winbind nss info = adex
-
-	winbind normalize names = yes
-	winbind refresh tickets = yes
-	template homedir = /home/%D/%U
-	template shell = /bin/bash
-
-Please refer to the idmap_adex(8) man page for more details.
-
-
-Libraries
-=========
-
-libsmbclient will now treat file names case-sensitive by default if the filesystem
-we are connecting to supports case sensitivity. This change of behavior is
-considered a bug fix, as it was previously possible to accidentally overwrite a
-file that had the same case-insensitive name but a different case-sensitive name
-as a previously-existing file, while creating a new file.
-
-If it is not possible to detect if the filesystem supports case sensitivity,
-the user-specified option value will be used.
+     * Fix net ads join when "ldap ssl = start tls" (bug #6073).
+     * Fix renaming/deleting of files using Windows clients (bug #6082).
+     * Fix renaming/deleting a "not matching/resolving" symlink (bug #6090).
+     * Fix remotely adding a share via the Windows MMC.
