Samba Server

• 14th July, 2009 ​Samba Server Version 1.0.1 for eCS (OS/2), based upon official Samba Version 3.0.35
  
• 14th July, 2009 ​Samba Server Version 1.0.1 for eCS (OS/2), based upon official Samba Version 3.0.35 (WarpIN-Installation package)
  
• 14th July, 2009 ​Samba Server Version 1.1beta1 for eCS (OS/2), based upon official Samba Version 3.3.6
  

Note: Samba 3.3.6beta1 currently comes as a drop-in replacement for a previous installation of any recent 3.0.34/35 build.

Note: You cannot go back from 3.3.6beta1 to 3.0.34/35 easily, as the internal format of the tdb files has been changed between 3.0 and 3.3. If you intend to go back, please backup all tdb files in \lock and \private directories before updating and restore from backup before going back.

Note: While 3.3.x binaries have been tested for several weeks now and seem to work well in general, bear in mind that 3.3.x is still beta software and work in progress and therefore not ready for production use.

Note: Currently 3.3.6beta1 offers exactly one benefit over 3.0.35: Ticket 59 is gone. GUI-Tools and scripts just work with 3.0.35, but do not make use of any new feature found in Samba 3.3.x.

If you do not have a login id, you can request one at ​http://www.netlabs.org/en/site/member/member.xml. We are sorry for inconvenience, but at the present time this is the only way to avoid extremely annoying spam.
