similar to: ANNOUNCE: cifs-utils release 5.8 is ready for download

We've had a number of changes since the last release, and we have some other upcoming kernel changes that might require corresponding cifs-utils changes. So it's probably as good a time as any for a new release. Highlights: + fix for a minor security issue that can corrupt the mtab + new getcifsacl/setcifsacl tools that allow you to fetch and set raw Windows ACLs via an xattr. + a

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Things have been relatively quiet lately. Time for a release! Highlights: * A lot of manpage updates, additions and corrections * cifs.idmap can now map uid/gid to SID in addition to the other way around * getcifsacl/setcifsacl are now installed by default in /usr/bin instead of /usr/sbin. The manpages are now in section 1. * cifs.upcall has a

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 With the merge of the new plugin interface, it's probably a good time for a new cifs-utils release. Distro packagers should take special note of the changes with the new plugin interface since it has implications for how the tools are packaged. In particular, it's necessary to set a symlink to the plugin in the correct location

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Time for a new cifs-utils release! The big bullet point in this release is a new pam_cifscreds module that has been added by Orion Poplawski. This release also cleans some unused cruft out of some of the binaries so they're quite a bit smaller now and fixes a few bugs that Coverity turned up. Go forth and download! webpage:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It has been a few months since the last cifs-utils release. There hasn't been much activity, but there are a few bugfixes that we ought to get into a release. So, nothing much earth-shattering here, mostly just bugfixes and documentation updates. With this release too, support for NFS-style devicenames has now been removed (as previously

The main changes in this release are moving generation of manpages to .rst format and updating default behavior of the protocol version selection (auto-negotiate). webpage: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/LinuxCIFS_utils tarball: https://download.samba.org/pub/linux-cifs/cifs-utils/ git: git://git.samba.org/cifs-utils.git gitweb:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It's been a while since our last release and Shirish's new cifs.idmap utility has now been merged. The last release was 4.9, so I've been a bit torn -- should I call this one 4.10 or 5.0? Then I figured...when in doubt, copy Linus. Since he just bumped the major version number of the kernel, this is now version 5.0. The main changes: -

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The last release (4.7) was back in October. We've had a number of good fixes committed in the last few weeks, so it's a good time to cut a new release. Also, note that I've transplanted the cifs-utils manpage to the Samba Wiki. The old URL still works and redirects browsers to the new page. o hardcoded paths in the cifs.upcall manpage

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 With the overhaul of the cifscreds utility, I figured this would be a good time to do a new release. Highlights: * admins can now tell cifs.upcall to use an alternate krb5.conf file * on remount, mount.cifs no longer adds a duplicate mtab entry * the cifscreds utility has seen a major overhaul to allow for multiuser mounts without krb5 auth

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Time for another cifs-utils release! Nothing terribly earth shattering here. Some distros (like Fedora) are moving krb5 credcaches out of /tmp by default. Users of these distros will definitely want to upgrade. Highlights: * Fixes for mounting with '/' in usernames with sec=krb5 * Support for DIR: type krb5 ccaches * support for

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Again, nothing earth-shattering in this release. Mostly some minor bugfixes and cleanups. Some highlights: - - setcifsacl can now work without a plugin - - systemd-ask-password is found using $PATH now - - cifs.upcall now works with KEYRING: credcaches Go forth and download! webpage: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/LinuxCIFS_utils tarball:

It has been a few months since the last cifs-utils release, and again there's been almost no activity. Still, at some point we need to get the bugfixes into the field, no matter how minor they are. So, nothing much earth-shattering here, mostly just bugfixes, and one new feature to allow cifs.upcall to use a dedicated keytab. Go forth and download! webpage:

This is a big release that contains many functional changes that are aligned with the recent work done in the Linux SMB3 kernel client. These changes mostly aim to improve user experience by unlocking new features available in modern SMB3 servers: - smbinfo utility is added to query various kinds of information from the server (objectId, snapshots, different FileInfo* classes and other

Dear Jeremy, thanks for your instant reply. :-) Along with Linux native getfacl/fetfacl, I also tested getcifsacl/setcifsacl (for sure thoroughly ;-)). Unfortunately, these CIFS client tools seem to have been designed as part of the "old" CIFS Unix Extensions, working only for SMB/CIFS mounts, and are not supposed to work with SMB2/SMB3 mounts, as I guess. During my tests, the
