RHBA-2016:1245 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated Samba package that fixes bugs and adds enhancements is now available for Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.1 Update 3

Description

Samba is an implementation of the server message block (SMB) protocol. It
allows the networking of Microsoft Windows®, Linux, UNIX, and other
operating systems together, enabling access to Windows-based file and
printer shares. Samba's use of SMB allows it to appear as a Windows server
to Windows clients.

This update is a rebase to the latest upstream version of Samba 4.4,
which fixes a number of bugs and adds a number of enhancements. The most
important of these updates are:

• Samba now supports version 3.1.1 of the SMB protocol.
• The CTDB_LOGGING option has replaced the previous options CTDB_LOGFILE

and CTDB_SYSLOG.

• A new 'logging' option for smb.conf and several new logging backends

(systemd-journal and lttng) are now available.

• The 'change notify' and 'kernel change notify' options are now global

options rather than being specific to a share.

• SMB multi-channel has been added as a Technology Preview.

All users of Red Hat Gluster Storage with Samba are advised to upgrade to
this updated package.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
