ANNOUNCE: cifs-utils release 4.8 available for download

Sat Jan 15 19:01:42 MST 2011

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

The last release (4.7) was back in October. We've had a number of good
fixes committed in the last few weeks, so it's a good time to cut a new
release. 

Also, note that I've transplanted the cifs-utils manpage to the Samba
Wiki. The old URL still works and redirects browsers to the new page.

o hardcoded paths in the cifs.upcall manpage are rewritten at build time

o a cifs.upcall pathset from Stefan Metzmacher to add GSSAPI checksums to
  the SPNEGO blob. This is necessary for interoperability with certain
  krb5 implementations (EMC's specifically)

o cifs.upcall can now use the system-default keytab for automatic mounts

o mount.cifs handles the cruid= option in a similar fashion to the uid=
  mount option. The kernel will gain support for this in 2.6.38 and in
  earlier stable releases.

...plus the usual assortment of bugfixes and manpage updates.

    cifs-utils: rewrite hardcoded paths in manpages

    Currently the manpages (particularly cifs.upcall.8) have hardcoded
    paths in them that need to be manually adjusted. Replace those
    paths with @sbindir@ and add a makefile target that will use sed
    to replace those paths with the ones set by autoconf.

    cifs-utils: fixes for manpage pathname replacement scheme

    Fix up some small problems with pathname replacement:

    1) replace the bare 'sed' with $(SED)

    2) '\@' is apparently not portable, so we need to use a different scheme
       in case we end up using a non-typical sed binary.

    3) do the sed conversion to a new file and then move it into place. If
       sed falls down halfway through the conversion we could end up with
       a half-baked manpage.

    4) use the $@ construct for brevity and maintainability

    5) add a comment so that the rationale behind this is explained

    Many thanks to several folks inside Red Hat who pointed out these
    issues.

    Some closed source SMB servers doesn't support all checksum types,
    so we should try to match windows clients.

    This is almost the same logic which is used by Samba.

    cifs.upcall: fix crash when trying to free uninitialized var

    If cifs.upcall is passed an invalid argument then it will "goto out".
    The decoded_args struct however is uninitialized at that point so it
    will usually segfault when trying to free fields in it. Move the
    initialization up in the function.
