Look in the file docs/BROWSING.txt -as it has been largely re-written to explain how to do this. - -*IMPORTANT* All Samba servers acting as local/domain master -browsers must be running 1.9.17alpha3 (or later), in addition -nmbd must be set up as the WINS server. - -Thanks to Silicon Graphics for allowing us to test the new -code on their corporate network. - - -Improved share mode handling ----------------------------- - -The handling of share modes has been completely rewritten. -Samba can now run agressive PC Benchmarks (Ziff-Davis -NetBench) correctly with many hundreds of concurrent PC's. -The confidence level on share mode handling in Samba -is now much higher than it was previously. PC database -packages should be much safer when run against a -Samba share. Thanks to Silicon Graphics for testing -this code for us. - -If at all possible compile Samba to use the new share -mode handling with shared memory (set the flags -FAST_SHARE_MODES in the Makefile). This will be *much* faster -than old file-based share modes. FAST_SHARE_MODES have -been turned on by default on the following platforms in -the Makefile : - - Linux - Solaris - BSDI - IRIX 5.x.x - FreeBSD - -Updated smb.conf documentation ------------------------------- -All options are now documented we believe. - -Many small bugfixes and improvements ------------------------------------- -From around the 'net around the world. Many -thanks to everyone who contributed. - -Remaining known issues with cross-subnet browsing. --------------------------------------------------- -When nmbd is acting as a WINS server it doesn't handle -de-registering of members of a WORKGROUP<1e> name correctly. -The first machine to de-register will remove the name. This -should be fixed in a later release when group names are -handled correctly in the WINS code. - -Propagation of servers between local master browsers and -the domain master browser doesn't take into account the -fact that only names seen by the local master browser on -the local subnet should be propagated. This causes machines -that have stopped serving to be propagated between browse -masters. This issue will be fixed in the smbd code in a -later release. - -Remember - this is new code so there may be -bugs or problems. - -As always, all bugs are our responsibility - -please report them to : - -samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au - - -Regards, - - The Samba Team. |
