[Samba] [Announce] Samba 3.2.8 Maintainance Release Available

Tue Feb 3 17:07:29 GMT 2009

This is a bug fix release of the Samba 3.2 series.

Major enhancements included in Samba 3.2.8 are:

  o Correctly detect if the current DC is the closest one.
  o Add saf_join_store() function to memorize the DC used at join time.
    This avoids problems caused by replication delays shortly after domain
    joins.
