[Samba] Samba 3.0 alpha21 released

I remember hearing that samba 3 alpha can be installed without affecting
the 2.x installation... is this true for the (S)RPM's?  Is a 2.2.7 conf
likely to be workable for 3.0 alpha21 (winbind, using NT PDC for auth),
or is it a whole new ballgame requiring LDAP or something else?

Thanks,
Daniel

Heads up everyone.

The 3.0alpha21 snapshot has been placed on samba.org for download 
and will be available on mirrors shortly.  RedHat RPMS will be 
uploaded within the hour I think.

Just a remember that this release is provided for testing 
purposes only.  And testing with no feedback does us no 
good. :-)

The full WHATSNEW file is available at 

  http://www.samba.org/samba/ftp/alpha/WHATSNEW.txt

The source release tarballs and GPG signatures are 
available in that same directory.

Here's the relevant portion of the release notes....



                 WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0 alpha21
                       26th November 2002
                 ===============================

This is a pre-release of Samba 3.0. This is NOT a stable release.
Use at your own risk.

The purpose of this alpha release is to get wider testing of the major
new pieces of code in the current Samba 3.0 development tree. We have
officially ceased development on the 2.2.x release of Samba and are
concentrating on Samba 3.0. To reduce the time before the final Samba
3.0
release we need as many people as possible to start testing these alpha
releases, and hopefully giving us some high quality feedback on what
needs
fixing.

Note that Samba 3.0 is not feature complete yet. There is a more
coding we have planned, but unless we get what we have done already more
widely tested we will have a hard time doing a stable release in a
reasonable time frame.
