Hello, I was asked to setup up a samba server recently, and so started to install version 2.0.7. However, since the server hasn't been fully configured yet, and obviously not in use, I have now downloaded version 2.2. We might as well start with the latest version :-) Question: How can I tell what has changed between version 2.0.7 and 2.2.0? Quoting from the 'WHATSNEW.txt' file: There are many new parameters since 2.0.7 and some defaults have changed. So which are new and which have changed their defaults? Having just about finished configuring 2.0.7 do I now have to go through the entire smb.conf man page (again) to see what has changed? Aren't all the administrative changes recorded somewhere so that I (we) can easily see what has changed and if it will affect us? Many thanks, John. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ John Horne, University of Plymouth, UK Tel: +44 (0)1752 233914 E-mail: jhorne@plymouth.ac.uk PGP key available from public key servers

One in particlular is the 'ole locking compatibility' parameter has been removed.

I like your name... Check the changes file that is (or used to be) included in the distribution.
