FYI...
I've just posted a snapshot of the current SAMBA_2_2
source code (tagged release-2-2-6pre2). This includes
all of the post 2.2.5 printing fixes as well as fixing some
other bugs (such as VxFS quota support). Please test and
report back your experience.
There have been some updates to the Mandrake packaging
thanks to Buchan. We are not building RPMS or *debs
for this pre-release. If you need to build your own,
see the files in the packaging subdirectory of the source
distribution.
The bzip2 and gzipped files can be downloaded from
http://download.samba.org/samba/ftp/pre
It might take a little time for all of the mirrors to
sync up.
As always, please report any bugs your may find to
samba@samba.org (or join the development effort on
samba-technical). The latest excerpt from the WHATSNEW.txt
follows.
Cheers,
The SAMBA Team

WHAT'S NEW IN Samba 2.2.6pre2 - 29th August 2002
================================================
This is a prelease snapshot of SAMBA_2_2 cvs branch. This is a

handle (not just a printer handle)

buffer before returning ASCII short name
18) added -t option to smbpasswd for explicitly changing a trust
account password when operating in security = domain
19) installed -x option to testparm to eXclude printing all parameter
values that are at default settings.
20) Fix shares/printers view in SWAT so that only Basic options
are exposed upon initial entry.
21) Added 1125 & KOI8-U to codepage list in Makefile.in
22) Include separate configure checks for *openbsd* & *freebsd*
when determining flags used to compile shared libraries.
Changes since 2.2.5
--------------------
1) Fixed several compiler warnings caused by the use of const

in the path name
7) Fix for parsing LPRng lpq output

printer properties to fail
9) Fix for printer change notification and Windows NT clients which
caused the client to go into an infinite loop of refeshing the
local printers folder
10) Allow trans2 and nttrans messages to be processed in oplock
break state which fixes a problem with oplock break requests
and Win2k clients
11) Don't crash on setfileinfo on printer fsp
12) Memory fixes caught by Valgrind

These were built by running 'sh makerpms.sh' in the packaging/Mandrake directory, with no options (ie they build stock as we normally build samba for each release). If you want other options (like winbind or acls on 8.0, or ldap), you will have to build your own, see the README.mandrake Unfortunately, I haven't made provision for prereleases, so if you test these, your next upgrade is going to have to use --old-package (since 2.2.6pre2 will be seen as newer than 2.2.6 by rpm).
