- Description:
Samba is the suite of programs by which a lot of PC-related machines share files, printers, and other information (such as lists of available files and printers). The Windows NT, OS/2, and Linux operating systems support this natively, and add-on packages can enable the same thing for DOS, Windows, VMS, UNIX of all kinds, MVS, and more. This package provides an SMB/CIFS server that can be used to provide network services to SMB/CIFS clients. Samba uses NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) protocols and does NOT need the NetBEUI (Microsoft Raw NetBIOS frame) protocol.

- Fix nmbd init script nmbd reload was causing smbd not nmbd to reload the configuration - Fix upstream bug 6224, nmbd was waiting 5+ minutes before running elections on startup, causing your own machine not to show up in the network for 5 minutes if it was the only client in that workgroup (fix committed upstream) |
