Package: samba
Version: 3.0.26a-1
Samba's README.Debian.gz has various sections which seem outdated. I
suggest they're removed:
"- The smbfs package does not support the 2.0.x Linux kernels anymore.
This has been the case since the very first packages of the CVS sources
that eventually became Samba 2.2. To use the smbfs package you need to
run a 2.2.x kernel or later."
This seems too outdated to be worthwhile.
"- Starting with the Debian packages for Samba 2.2, the Samba log files (for
nmbd and smbd) have been moved to a new location: /var/log/samba/. The
files also have new names: log.nmbd and log.smbd. The old files
(/var/log/{nmb,smb} were moved to the new location."
This seems too outdated to be worthwhile.
"Samba 2.2 has also experimental support for Primary Domain
Controller. This means that a Samba server can act now as a PDC. There
are no special flags needed to compile Samba with NT domain PDC
support. Please read the NTDOM PDC FAQ at www.samba.org (Documentation
section)."
"Please note that NT domain PDC support is far from complete and is still
experimental."
- it might have been experimental in Samba 2.2 but surely it isn't now? I
have a number of sites who've been using Sarge and Etch's Samba as a PDC
without any issues.
