RHBA-2011:1519 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated samba packages that fix multiple bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

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).

These updated samba packages include numerous bug fixes. Space precludes
documenting all of these changes in this advisory. Users are directed to the Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 Technical Notes for information on the most significant
of these changes:

All users of Samba should upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these
bugs.
