This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version
that production Samba servers should be running for all
current bug-fixes.  There have been several issues fixes since
the 3.0.2a release and new features have been added as well.

~    servers.

~    flag.
~  o Substitution errors for %[UuGg] in smb.conf.
~  o winbindd crashes when using ADS security mode.
~  o SMB signing errors.
~  o Delays in winbindd startup caused by unnecessary
~    connections to trusted domain controllers.
~  o Various small memory leaks.
~  o Winbindd failing due to expired Kerberos tickets.

New features introduced in Samba 3.0.3 include:

~  o Improved support for i18n character sets.

~    bad password attempts.
~  o Improved support for long password changes (>14

~    and folders in Extended Attributes.
