ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha and mirror sites mainly a maintenance update: all bzeros replaced, as was done in cvs main / 2.0. readline detection added. if someone wants to add an autoconf test to detect -lcurses being needed by solaris readline, please create and send one. usrmgr user-account changing is now accepted (on systems compiled with the default, --with-sam-pwdb=passdb, this means you can set the user's password and the account control bits: account disabled etc., all other changes are ignored), i missed out an info level. there is one field of the SAM_USER_INFO_21 structure that is not well understood, which is giving grief across the board: AS/U and compatible systmems may now not work properly, sorry, i don't have access to it to do the appropriate tests. elrond updated the libtool scripts so that they should set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH env. variable correctly, allowing the samba programs to be started without needing to do make install, you can run them from the source/bin directory (which i do all the time). tested on both solaris 2.8 ultrasparc 5 (gcc 2.8.1) and mandrake linux on x86 (gcc 2.95.2): profiles work, nt5 beta1, nt4 wks. password changes work, nt4 wks. join to domain works, nt5 beta1, nt4 wks. printing not tested (by me), couple of reports of it not working. it may not seem like it, i am monitoring the samba-ntdom and samba-technical lists off of http://samba.org/listproc, so please keep the bug reports coming in. thanks people, luke <a href=" mailto:lkcl@samba.org" > Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton </a> <a href=" http://cb1.com/~lkcl" > Samba and Network Development </a> <a href=" http://samba.org" > Samba Web site </a> <a href=" http://mcp.com" > Macmillan Technical Publishing </a> ISBN1578701503 DCE/RPC over SMB: Samba and Windows NT Domain Internals
