We have made some changes in samba-3.0.7, as part of our graduation project. Are there any test suites which we could use to check the conformance of the changes, with the original samba specifications? Also, with reference to your statement in document tridge_cifs04_tutorial.pdf , saying that inputs about test documents would be welcome, if the above mentioned suites are not available,then we would like to contribute in this regard. Please inform such the exact domains in which such contribution can be made. Thanking You, Sujay Lele.

Please inform such the > exact domains in which such contribution can be made.Samba testing is performed by a utility called 'smbtorture', and as tridge makes clear in his presentation, the version in Samba4 is currently the reference for all Samba development, due to it's high level of coverage across the entire protocol. Note that Samba3 does not pass many of these tests, which is why we are writing Samba4 in the first place. Once you check out and explore Samba4's smbtorture, you may be in a position to extend it. smbtorture is tested against Win2k3, as the reference implementation - all tests must pass against Win2k3 to be considered valid. What kind of areas have you built up an understanding of, and have made changes to Samba 3.0 in? Writing testsuites is a difficult, but very worthwhile challenge in software development, and I look forward to any useful contributions you can make to Samba in that way.
