Log Message:
Updated samba to 2.0.7.  Major changes from version 2.0.6 are below.  A
complete list of changes can be found at http://www.samba.org/.

New Documentation in 2.0.7
--------------------------

O'Reilly and Associates have donated their book "Using Samba"
to the Samba community to be updated in a collaberative way
along with the Samba software. Starting with this release the
html of "Using Samba" will be distributed with the Samba software
as the online documentation for Samba. Bug fixes for the book
are encouraged as is new material. Please help us make this
documentation the best it can be for Samba !

Windows 2000 Issues
-------------------

This version of Samba has been tested with Windows 2000 and
the five known incompatibilities with Windows 2000 have been
fixed. See the "Changes in 2.0.7" list below for details.

New/Changed parameters in 2.0.7
-------------------------------

There are 5 new parameters in the smb.conf file.

utmp
utmp dir
utmp hostname
utmp consolidate
wtmp directory

These parameters are only available if the "--with-utmp"
option was selected at configure time. The yes/no option "utmp"
specifies whether utmp records should be recorded on user
logon/logoff. It defaults to "no". The "utmp dir" and "wtmp dir"
are string parameters specifying pathnames to the directories containing
the utmp/wtmp file databases. See the smb.conf man page for more details.

inherit permissions

This boolean parameter causes newly created files and directories
to inherit their initial permissions from their parent directory.
This can be very useful in propagating such things as the set-group
bit in directory heirarchies. See the smb.conf man page for more
details.

write cache size

This integer parameter specifies (in bytes) the size of a user level
per-file write cache that smbd will create for an oplocked file. This
can improve performance significantly for writing files by causing
writes to be done in large chunk sizes. If this parameter is set (it
defaults to zero which means no write cache) to the stripe size of
a raid volume then it will cause writes to be much more efficient.
Up to 10 write caches can be active simultaneously per smbd (allocated
for the first 10 oplocked file opens). All normal warnings about the
dangers of user level caching of data apply. See the smb.conf man page
for more details.

source environment

This pathname parameter causes Samba to read a list of environment
variables from a named file on startup. This can be useful in setting
up Samba in a clustered environment. See the smb.conf man page for more
details.

Ability to delete users added
-----------------------------

SWAT and smbpasswd can now delete users from the Samba smbpasswd file.
See the man page for smbpasswd for details.

Roving profile behavior finalized
---------------------------------

The change in behavior with roving profiles (using the "logon home"
parameter instead of the "logon path" parameter) introduced in 2.0.6
has been discovered to be consistant with the way Windows NT behaves,
and has been left as the default action. Please see the additional
notes in the "logon home" parameter description in the smb.conf man
page for more details.
