Hash: SHA1

Quoting from the "Little Book of Calm":

This is a release candidate of the Samba 3.0.12 code base and is
provided for testing only.  While close to the final stable release,
this snapshot is *not* intended for production servers.  If all
goes well, this this version (or something very similar) will become
the final 3.0.12 stable release.

Common bugs fixed in 3.0.12rc1 include:

~  o Error messages from shared Excel workbooks residing on Samba
~    file shares.
~  o Missing files in the output of smbclient -c 'dir' when run
~    against Windows file servers.
~  o Inability for Print Administrators to pause/resume/purge print
~    queues.

Additional features introduced in Samba 3.0.12rc1:

~  o Support for the Novell NDS universal password when using the
~    ldapsam passdb backend.
~  o New 'net rpc trustdom {add,del}' functionality to eventually
~    replace 'smbpasswd {-a,-x} -i'.
~  o New libsmbclient functionality.


libsmbclient Binary Compatibility
=================================
Please note that a change has been made to the _SMBCCTX structure
in source/include/libsmbclient.h.  This change is not backwards
compatible with applications linked against the libsmbclient.so
library from Samba 3.0.11.  However, it is compatible with all
other Samba 3.0.x releases.  This means that it will be most likely
be necessary to recompile any applications linked against the
3.0.11 version of the library.

Compiled with cups. If defining

    printing = lprng
    print command = chmod 666 %s; name="`echo '%J' | sed
"s/^.*- //"`";
if [ "$name" = "" ]; then name="%s"; fi;
/usr/bin/lpr -P%p -J"$name" %s;
rm %s
    lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P%p -L
    lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P%p %j
    lppause command = /usr/sbin/lpc hold %p %j
    lpresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc release %p %j
    queuepause command = /usr/sbin/lpc stop %p
    queueresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc start %p

in [global] and not using 'printing = cups' in one of my printers the 
following messages are shown in log.smbd:

[2005/03/12 19:26:24, 0] smbd/server.c:main(798)

I think it is better to discard this message, if cups is not used. There 
are many installations with cups linked samba and using other printing 
systems, because it is possible then to use which printing system ever 
(cups or an other one).
