RHBA-2005:629 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated Samba packages that fix various problems are now available.

Description

Samba provides file and printer sharing services to SMB/CIFS clients.

This update addresses the following issues:

• Fixed an error that caused nmbd to crash when a Windows client

requested a browse list.

• Fixed an error that caused the failure of printing requests made to

remote printers attached to some versions of Windows.

• Enhanced Samba so that it can authenticate against Win2K3 SP1

machines.

• Enhanced mount.smbfs to correctly pass uid= and gid= parameters to the

kernel. Note that RHSA-2005:514 (the updated kernel) must also be
installed to fix this issue.

Users of Samba should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
fixes for these various issues.
