14 DAY TRIAL // Samba, an app that seamlessly integrates Linux/Unix servers and desktops into Active Directory environments using the winbind daemon, is now at version 4.0.5.
The fifth maintenance release is in the 4.x branch and contains all of Samba's technology parts, both a file server, which can be upgraded from existing Samba 3.x releases, and the AD domain controller previously known as “samba4.”
Highlights of Samba 4.0.5:
• Large reads/writes operations have been corrected for some Linux clients; • A 'samba-tool dbcheck –reset-well-known-acls' option has been added; • Samba no longer returns an unexpected error on SMB posix open; • An unneeded fstat system call has been removed from the hot read path; • The incorrect parsing of SMB2 command codes has been fixed; • Link-local addresses are now filtered correctly.
More details about this release can be found in the official announcement. Download Samba 4.0.5 right now from Softpedia.
