FYI...
I've tagged prerelease-2-2-5pre1 in CVS and posted
a tarball at ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/pre/
RedHat 7.3 RPM and SRPM can be found at
ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/jerry/RPMS/redhat-7.3/
This is a non-production release intended only
for testing. Please report issues, bugs, success
on this mailing list (since you are already subscribed).
Hopefully this will be the only prerelease before the
final 2.2.5 version.
Bang on it. Test as much as you can on as many platforms
as you can: domain controlling, printing, file serving,
VFS, LDAP, Samba PDC/BDC combination, etc...
Here's a quick ChangeLog (more complete one to be done
for the final release...i'm still getting my system
together). I've probably left somethings out.
If there is any doubt, please ask or check the CVS logs.
Much appreciated.
cheers, jerry
