-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Time for another cifs-utils release! Most of the patches in this release are for cifs.idmap, getcifsacl and setcifsacl. There were many bugs in those tools, so anyone that's deploying or using them is highly encouraged to upgrade. Highlights: * NFS-style device names are being deprecated in 6.0. Anyone using that sort of device name should

We've had a number of changes since the last release, and we have some other upcoming kernel changes that might require corresponding cifs-utils changes. So it's probably as good a time as any for a new release. Highlights: + fix for a minor security issue that can corrupt the mtab + new getcifsacl/setcifsacl tools that allow you to fetch and set raw Windows ACLs via an xattr. + a

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Time for a new cifs-utils release! The big bullet point in this release is a new pam_cifscreds module that has been added by Orion Poplawski. This release also cleans some unused cruft out of some of the binaries so they're quite a bit smaller now and fixes a few bugs that Coverity turned up. Go forth and download! webpage:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It has been a few months since the last cifs-utils release. There hasn't been much activity, but there are a few bugfixes that we ought to get into a release. So, nothing much earth-shattering here, mostly just bugfixes and documentation updates. With this release too, support for NFS-style devicenames has now been removed (as previously

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Things have been relatively quiet lately. Time for a release! Highlights: * A lot of manpage updates, additions and corrections * cifs.idmap can now map uid/gid to SID in addition to the other way around * getcifsacl/setcifsacl are now installed by default in /usr/bin instead of /usr/sbin. The manpages are now in section 1. * cifs.upcall has a

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Time for another cifs-utils release! Nothing terribly earth shattering here. Some distros (like Fedora) are moving krb5 credcaches out of /tmp by default. Users of these distros will definitely want to upgrade. Highlights: * Fixes for mounting with '/' in usernames with sec=krb5 * Support for DIR: type krb5 ccaches * support for

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Again, nothing earth-shattering in this release. Mostly some minor bugfixes and cleanups. Some highlights: - - setcifsacl can now work without a plugin - - systemd-ask-password is found using $PATH now - - cifs.upcall now works with KEYRING: credcaches Go forth and download! webpage: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/LinuxCIFS_utils tarball:

It has been a few months since the last cifs-utils release, and again there's been almost no activity. Still, at some point we need to get the bugfixes into the field, no matter how minor they are. So, nothing much earth-shattering here, mostly just bugfixes, and one new feature to allow cifs.upcall to use a dedicated keytab. Go forth and download! webpage:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 With the overhaul of the cifscreds utility, I figured this would be a good time to do a new release. Highlights: * admins can now tell cifs.upcall to use an alternate krb5.conf file * on remount, mount.cifs no longer adds a duplicate mtab entry * the cifscreds utility has seen a major overhaul to allow for multiuser mounts without krb5 auth

The main changes in this release are moving generation of manpages to .rst format and updating default behavior of the protocol version selection (auto-negotiate). webpage: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/LinuxCIFS_utils tarball: https://download.samba.org/pub/linux-cifs/cifs-utils/ git: git://git.samba.org/cifs-utils.git gitweb:

Time for a new cifs-utils release! The main change in this release is a set of cleanups to cifs.upcall to make it more efficient and work better with alternate style credcaches. No longer does it blithely stumble around in /tmp looking for credcaches. We now just use the default credcache that to which the krb5.conf points. Go forth and download!

This is a big release that contains many functional changes that are aligned with the recent work done in the Linux SMB3 kernel client. These changes mostly aim to improve user experience by unlocking new features available in modern SMB3 servers: - smbinfo utility is added to query various kinds of information from the server (objectId, snapshots, different FileInfo* classes and other

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Since we now have a fix of sorts for CVE-2012-1586, it seems like as good a time as any to do a new release. Go forth, download and build cifs-utils-5.4. Highlights: * the "rootsbindir" can now be specified at configure time * mount.cifs now supports the -s option by passing "sloppy" to the kernel in the options string *

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Wow, about 6 months since last cifs-utils release. How time flies. With Guenter's fix for the uppercasing of device names last week, it's probably a good time to go ahead make a new one. There's not much activity this cycle so this is mostly bugfixes, though there is a new autoconf option to allow you to configure the PAM installation

The main change in this release is to address some regressions that crept in when we switched to a scheme that does not rely on walking /tmp to look for credcaches. We now will use the information from the kernel about the initiating pid, reach into that task's environment and scrape out the $KRB5CCNAME variable. This can be problematic in setuid situations, so we avoid doing that for the

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Time for another cifs-utils release! Highlights: * binaries are now built by default with PIE and RELRO support for better protection against exploits * better debugging and warnings for cifs.upcall and cifscreds * better integration with systemd by having mount.cifs use systemd-ask-password if it's appropriate and available webpage:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Nothing terribly earth-shattering in this release. We had a number of reports of build-breaking problems in version 5.4, mostly due to the fact that we now turn on -Werror by default, and a number of patches to fix them. I'm starting to have doubts as to whether it's a good idea to keep - -Werror in the default CFLAGS. This is built in a

Nothing Earth-shattering here, but it has been quite some time (well over a year!) since the last release. There has been little activity other than a few minor bugfixes. But, this is probably a reasonable time to do a release that to make things easier on the packaging folks: webpage: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/LinuxCIFS_utils tarball: ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/linux-cifs/cifs-utils/

New version 6.10 of cifs-utils has been released. Highlighted changes: - smb3 alias/fstype is added - smb2-quota tool is added to display quota information - smb2-secdesc UI tool to view security descriptors is added - smbinfo is enhanced with capabilities to dump session keys and get/set compression of files - smbinfo bash completion is supported - getcifsacl tool is improved to support

This release is primarily a number of small bugfixes and cleanups. I wanted to do a release with those prior to the coming overhaul of mount.cifs to allow it to more safely be installed setuid root. There a couple of other noticeable changes too: - the version reported by all programs in the tarball now matches the VERSION define set by autoconf. That is, if someone runs "mount.cifs
