-provided for testing only.  This release is *not* intended for
-production servers.  Use at your own risk.
+                ================================
+                Release Notes for Samba 3.0.5rc1
+                            July 8, 2004
+                ================================
+
+This is a release candidate snapshot of the Samba 3.0.5 code
+base and should be considered for testing only.  A release
+candidate (RC) means that we are close to the final, stable
+release and in provided for Quality Assurance (QA) purposes.
+This release is *not* intended for production servers.  Use
+at your own risk.
 
 There have been several bug fixes since the 3.0.4 release that
 we feel are important to make available to the Samba community
 for wider testings.  See the "Changes" section for details on
 exact updates.
 
+Common bugs fixed in this 3.0.5rc1 include:
+
+  o Corrupt workgroup names in nmbd's browse.dat.
+  o Sharing violation errors commonly seen when opening
+    when serving Microsoft Office documents from a Samba 
+    file share.
+  o Browsing problems caused by an apostrophe (') in the 
+    computer's description field.
+  o Problems creating special file types from UNIX CIFS 
+    clients and enabling 'unix extensions'.
+
+New features introduced in this release include:
+
+  o Using a cups server other than localhost.
+  o Maintaining the service principal entry in the system 
+    keytab for integration with other kerberized services.
+  o Support for maintaining individual printer names
+    stored separately from the printer's sharename.

+commits
+-------
+o   Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
+    * Fix charset bug in when invoking send_mailslot().
+    * When using widelinks = no, use realpath to canonicalize 
+      the connection path on connection create for the user. 
+    * Enhance stat open code.
+    * Fix unix extensions mknod code path.
+    * Allow unix domain socket creation via unix extensions.
+    * Auto disable the 'store dos attribute' parameter if the 
+      underlying filesystem doesn't support EAs.
+    * Implement deferred open code to fix a bug with Excel files 
+      on Samba shares.
+    * BUG 1427: Catch bad path errors at the right point.  Ensure 
+      all our pathname parsing is consistent.
+    * Fix SMB signing error introduced by the new deferred open 
+      code.
+    * Change default setting for case sensitivity to "auto". (see 
+      commit message -- r1154 -- for details).
+    * Add new remote client arch -- CIFSFS.
+    * Allow smbd to maintain the service principal entry in the 
+      system keytab file (based on patch Dan Perry <dperry@pppl.gov>, 
+      Guenther Deschner, et. al.).
+    * Fix longstanding memleak bug with logfile name.
+    * Fix incorrect type in printer publishing (struct uuid, 
+      not UUID_FLAT).
+    * Heimdal compile fixes after introduction of the new ketyab 
+      feature.
+    * Ensure we check attributes correctly on rename request.
+    * Ensure we defer a sharing violation on rename correctly.
+    * BUG 607: Ensure we remove DNS and DNSFAIL records immediately 
+      on timeout.
+    * Fix bogus error message when using "mangling method = hash" 
+      rather than hash2.
+    * Turn on sendfile by default for non-Win9x clients.
+    * Handle non-io opens that cause oplock breaks correctly.
+    * Ensure ldap replication sleep time is not more than 5 seconds.
+
+
+o   Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org>  
+    * Re-enable code to allow sid_to_gid() to perform a group 
+      mapping lookup before checking with winbindd.
+    * Fix memory leak in the trans2 signing code.
+    * Allow more flexible GSS-SPENGO client and server operation 
+      in ntlm_auth.
+
+
+o   Eric Boehm <boehm@nortelnetworks.com>
+    BUG 703: Final touches on netgroup case lookups.
+    
+    
+o   Jerome Borsboom" <j.borsboom@erasmusmc.nl>
+    * Correct bug that caused smbd to overwrite certain error 
+      codes when returning up the call stack.
+    * Ensure the correct sid type returned for builtin sids.
+
+
+o   Gerald Carter <jerry@samba.org>
+    * Fixed string length miscalculation in netbios names that 
+      resulted in corrupt workgroup names in browse.dat.
+    * When running smbd as a daemon, launch child smbd to update 
+      the lpq cache listing in the background.
+    * Allow printers "Printers..." folder to be renamed to a string 
+      other than the share name.
+    * Allow winbindd to use domain trust account passwords when 
+      running on a Samba DC to establish an schannel to remote 
+      domains.
+    * Fix bad merge and ensure that we always use tdb_open_log() 
+      instead of tdb_open_ex() (the former call enforce the 'use 
+      mmap' parameter).
+    * BUG 1221: revert old change that used single and double 
+      quotes as delimeters in next_token(), and change 
+      print_parameter() to print out parm values surrounded by 
+      double quotes (instead of single quotes).
+    * Prevent home directories added during the SMBsesssetup&X from 
+      being removed as unused services.
+    * Invalidate the print object cache for open printer handles when
+      smbd receives a message that an attribute on a given printer 
+      has been changed.
+    * Cause the configure script to exit if --enable-cups[=yes] is 
+      defined and the system does not have the cups devel files 
+      installed.
+    * BUG 1297: Prevent map_username() from being called twice 
+      during logon.
+    * Ensure that we use the userPrincipalName AD attribute 
+      value for LDAP SASL binds.
+    * Ensure we remove the tdb entry when deleting a job that 
+      is being spooled.
+
+    
+o   Guenther Deschner <gd@sernet.de>
+    * Implement 'rpcclient setprintername'.
+    * Add local groups to the user's NT_TOKEN since they are 
+      actually supported now.
+    * Heimdal compile fixes after introduction of the new keytab 
+      feature.
+    * Correctly honor the info level parameter in 'rpcclient 
+      enumprinters'.
+    * Reintroduce 'force unknown acl user' parameter.  When getting a 
+      security descriptor for a file, if the owner sid is not known, 
+      the owner uid is set to the current uid. Same for group sid.
+    * Ensure that REG_SZ values in the SetPrinterData actually 
+      get written in UNICODE strings rather than ASCII.
+    * Ensure that the last kerberos error return is not invalid.
+
+
+o   Fabian Franz <FabianFranz@gmx.de>
+    * Support specifying a port in the device URL passed to smbspool.
+    
+    
+o   Bjoern Jacke <bj@sernet.de>
+    * Install libsmbclient into $(LIBDIR), not into hard coded 
+      ${prefix}/lib. This helps amd64 systems with /lib and /lib64 
+      and an explicit configure --libdir setting.
+
+
+o   <kawasa_r@itg.hitachi.co.jp>
+    * Memory leak fixes.
+
+
+o   Volker Lendecke <vl@samba.org>
+    * Fix DOS error code bug in reply_chkpath().
+    * Correct misunderstanding of the max_size field in 
+      cli_samr_enum_als_groups;  it is more like an account_control 
+      field with individual bits what to retrieve.
+    * Implement 'net rpc group rename' -- rename domain groups.
+    * Implement the 'cups server' option. This makes it possible 
+      to have virtual smbd's connect to different cups daemons.
+    * Paranoia fixes when adding local aliases to a user's NT_TOKEN.
+    * Fix sid_to_gid() calls in winbindd to prevent loops.
+    * Ensure that local_sid_to_gid() sets the type of the group on 
+      return.
+    * Make sure that the clients are given back the IP address to 
+      which they connected in the case of a multi-homed host. Only 
+      affects strings the spoolss printing replies.
+    * Fix the bad password lockout. This has not worked as pdb_ldap.c 
+      did not ask for the modifyTimestamp attribute, so it could 
+      not find it.   Try not to regress by not putting that attrib 
+      in the main list but append it manually for the relevant searches.
+    * Fix two memleaks in login_cache.c.
+    * fixes memory bloat when unmarshalling strings.
+    * Fix compile errors using gcc 3.2 on SuSE 8.2.
+    * Fix the build for systems without kerberos headers.
+    * Allow winbindd to handle authentication requests only when 
+      started without either an 'idmap uid' or 'idmap gid' range.
+    * Fix the build for systems without ldap headers.
+    * Fix interaction between share security descriptor and the 
+      'read only' smb.conf option.
+    * Fix bug that caused _samr_lookupsids() with more than 32 (
+      MAX_REF_DOMAINS) SIDs to fail.
+
+
+o   Herb Lewis <herb@samba.org>
+    * Fix errno tromping before calling iconv to reset the 
+      conversion state.
+    * need to leave empty dacl so we can remove last ACE.
+
+
+o    Jianliang Lu <Jianliang.Lu@getronics.com>
+     * Reset the bad password count password counts upon a successful login.
+     
+     
+o   Joe Meadows "Joe Meadows" <jameadows@webopolis.com>
+    * Add optional timeout parameter to ldap open calls.
+    * Allow get_dc_list() to check the negative cache.
+
+
+o   Jason Mader <jason@ncac.gwu.edu>
+    * BUG 1385: Don't use non-consts in a structure initialization.
+    
+
+o   Stefan Metzmacher <metze@samba.org>    
+    * print out the SVN revision by configure,
+    
+
+o   Lars Mueller <lmuelle@suse.de>
+    * Fix afs related build issues on SuSE.
+
+
+o   Dan Peterson
+    * Implement NFS quota support on FreeBSD.
+
+
+o   Nick Wellnhofer <wellnhofer@aevum.de>    
+    * Prevent lp_interfaces() list from being corrupted.  Fixes
+      bug where nmbd would lose the list of network interfaces 
+      on the system and consequently shutdown.
+
+      
+o   James Wilkinson <jwilk@alumni.cse.ucsc.edu>
+    * Fix ntlm_auth memory leaks.
+
+
+o   Jelmer Vernooij <jelmer@samba.org>
+    * BUG 478: Rename vsnprintf to smb_vsnprintf so we don't 
+     get duplicate symbol errors.
+   * Return an error when the last command read from stdin 
+     fails in smbclient.
+   * Prepare for better error checking in tar.
