Subject: Outstanding Issues, Development Goals
===============================================================================
1) Samba-1.9.17 Release commitments:
- Document HOWTO for RedHat Linux (JHT)
+ Password Caching
+ Roving Profiles
+ WinNT Registry changes to restore plain text passwords to NT 4.0 SP3
- Define build options for RedHat Linux RPMs (JHT)
- Change smb.conf file and bring into line with current RedHat Linux smb.conf
file but preserving original standard file locations in /usr/local tree
++++ DONE ++++
- Describe dependencies data for use by RedHat in preparation of their
web based and X based management tools
+ Depends on Samba_Config system using dialog package (JRA / JHT)
- Improved printing capabilities (print queue and print processor for MS
Windows related stuff)
- Clean up smbprint (JHT)
- Document desired capabilities flags and effects (JHT)
- Add new parameters to [globals] section to define Samba capabilities (JRA)
+ The following SV_TYPEs to be fixed in Samba:
WORKSTATION
SERVER
SERVER_UNIX
PRINTQ_SERVER, default = False, if printers defined set to True (Auto)
+ The following parameterized:
TIME_SOURCE, default = False
DOMAIN_MEMBER, default = False if "domain logons = False"
default = True if "domain logons = True"
NT, default = False
default = True if "domain logons = True"
SERVER_NT, default = False
default = True if "domain logons = True"
WFW, default = True if "security = share"
default = False if "security = user or server" ??????????
POTENTIAL_BROWSER, default = False
WIN95_PLUS, default = False if OS_MAJOR < 4, otherwise True
ALTERNATE_XPORT, default = False
LOCAL_LIST_ONLY, default = False
- Add new parameters to [globals] section to define Samba Major and Minor
version settings (JRA)
+ Add the following:
OS_MAJOR, default = 0x04
OS_MINOR, default = 0x02
BROWSE_ELECTION_VERSION, default = 0x010F
BROWSE_CONSTANT, default = 0xAA55
2) Post release Samba-1.9.17
- Develop Web based configuration tools for Samba (Portable)
+ Contact Dave Fenton and liaise (JHT)
+ find willing workers (JHT)
- Revise documentation and produce SGML format files and Makefile to produce
text as well as HTML output files for placement on samba web server
3) Samba-2.0 Project
- Introduce directory structure to replace smb.conf file, or produce new
hashing method to improve speed of parsing settings in large smb.conf
file sites
- Identify performance issues (c.f. Samba-1.9.16p2)
- Password encryption capabilities - should be added to samba?
- Packet signing?
- Include DFS support to allow resharing and indirection
- Implement real OpLock support
- Win95 and WinNT authentication services (Luke)
- Win95 / WinNT password synchronisation (JRA)
