HISTORY revision 95267
116.04.2002 1.4.4 2 - Workaround for W2K bug in resource listing. 3 - Minor bug fixes. 4 - Manual pages updated. Thanks to Ruslan Ermilov. 5 626.12.2001 1.4.3 (interim) 7 - Additional cleanups for FreeBSD builds. 8 - Charset specifications now accepted in the [default] section. 9 1020.12.2001 1.4.2 (interim) 11 - Various merges (but not all) from Darwin project. 12 - Minor man pages corrections. 13 - Support builds in the FreeBSD main tree. 14 1516.04.2001 1.4.1 16 - Kernel side of smbfs committed in the FreeBSD-current. It controlled 17 by following options: LIBMCHAIN, LIBICONV, NETSMB, NETSMBCRYPTO and SMBFS. 18 - Removed static dependency on the libiconv library, option WITH_ICONV 19 removed as well. If you use libiconv support, make sure that the latest 20 port is installed. 21 - Multiple mount/umount operations called in parallel can cause kernel 22 panic - fixed. 23 - Misc code cleanups. 24 2526.02.2001 1.3.6 26 - Names of some options is the config.mk.in file are changed. The old ones 27 are still supported. 28 - Synch with changes in the recent -current (you'll need kernel compiled 29 from sources at least as of Feb 24). 30 - In all previous versions of smbfs signals weren't properly masked, 31 which caused erratical behavior of some programs (ftp(1) for example). 32 - Mounted shares may become "frozen" (no timeout occurs) if server died or 33 disconnected for some reason - fixed. 34 3509.02.2001 1.3.5 36 - The user and server names was swapped in the "TreeConnect" 37 request (fixed by Jonathan Hanna). 38 - smb requester could cause a panic if there is no free mbufs - fixed. 39 - It is possible to use smbfs with devfs now, but it wasn't tested under 40 SMP. Also note that device permissions will be wrong, because devfs 41 do not allow passing of credentials to the cloning function. 42 - nsmbX device moved from the /dev/net directory to /dev directory. 43 4431.01.2001 1.3.4 45 - Maintance: synch with changes in the recent -current 46 4728.01.2001 1.3.3 48 - Connection handling engine rewritten in order to reduce number of 49 possible deadlocks during reconnect operations. 50 - Directory traversals should be faster on large directories. 51 - smbfs now can talk to the NetApp servers (thanks to Jonathan Hanna). 52 - smbfs.sh.sample script updated (ideas from Nikolai Saoukh). 53 - Minor bug fixes. 54 5519.11.2000 1.3.2 56 - synch with changes in the recent -current 57 - nail down a nasty bug which may cause incorrect values supplied as 58 domain name (reported by Harald Weis). 59 - There was a bug in the directory listing code which caused long directory 60 traversals to fail (reported by A G F Keahan). 61 6229.10.2000 1.3.1 63 - An attempt was made to get rid from the possible kernel stack overflow. 64 - Now connection will be restored properly under -stable. 65 NOTE: NT servers have an 'AutoDisconnect' feature which will drop client 66 connection after some time of idleing. smbfs will restore connection on 67 the next request, but one may wish to setup a cron job with a simple 68 'ls /ntmount' command. 69 7020.10.2000 1.3.0 71 - Network IO engine significantly reworked. Now it uses kernel threads 72 to implement 'smbiod' process which handles network traffic for each VC. 73 Previous model were incapable to serve large number of mount points and 74 didn't work well with intensive IO operations performed on a different 75 files on the same mount point. Special care was taken on better 76 usage of MP systems. 77 Unfortunately, kernel threads aren't supported by FreeBSD 3.X and for 78 now it is excluded from the list of supported systems. 79 - Reduce overhead caused by using single hash table for each mount point. 80 8126.09.2000 1.2.8 (never released) 82 - More SMP related bugs are fixed. 83 - Make smbfs compatible with the Linux emulator. 84 - smbfs now known to work with IBM LanManager (special thanks to 85 Eugen Averin <mad@euinf.dp.ua>) 86 - Fix problem with files bigger than 2GB (reported by Lee McKenna) 87 - Please note that smbfs may not work properly with FreeBSD 3.X. 88 8916.08.2000 1.2.7 90 - Maintance: use better algorithm to detect SYSCTL_HANDLER_ARGS changes 91 to avoid compilation problems on various versions of FreeBSD. 92 9307.08.2000 1.2.6 94 - Fix iconv support, was broken in the 1.2.5 95 - Minor corrections to 'smbutil view' command. 96 - Fix kernel memory leak caused by two subsequent and identical 97 'smbutil login' commands. 98 9925.07.2000 1.2.5 100 - NetBIOS name resolver added. '-I' option still supported. WINS server 101 can be specified in the nsmbrc file (nbns variable). To use resolver 102 with Win9X machines you have to specify WINS server in the config file. 103 10412.07.2000 1.2.4 105 - Variable SRCTREE in the config.mk replaced with SYSDIR and should 106 point to the sys directory. '/usr/src/sys' for example. 107 - Correct problem with the keep-alive packets 108 10904.07.2000 1.2.3 110 - Killed some bugs related to the out-of-mbufs condition. 111 - new keyword 'addr' added to the config file to specify server address. 112 - Another attempt to make reconnection procedure more stable. 113 11421.06.2000 1.2.2 115 - Device handles wasn't freed under FreeBSD 3.4 - fixed. 116 Implement correct handling of multiple connections to the same NT 117 server (thanks to kit <kit.mitchell@team.xtra.co.nz>) for report. 118 More misc fixes for an NT servers. 119 12011.06.2000 1.2.1 121 - More bug fixes in the connection handling mechanism. 122 mount_smbfs(8) manpage has now proper description for an '-N' option. 123 smbutil supports new commands: 124 'print' - send file to the remote printer 125 'view' - list shares available on the specified host 126 'login' - create permanent connection to remote host 127 'logout'- counterpart of 'login' 128 'crypt' - produce an encrypted password to store in the .nsmbrc file. 129 13001.06.2000 1.1.2 131 - Support for FreeBSD 3.4 added (see INSTALL file for details). 132 Add advisory locking support in order to make fcntl(2), flock(2) 133 system calls actually work on smbfs. 134 Few non-serious bugs fixed. 135 13616.05.2000 1.0.5 137 - fix authentication code, this caused troubles with NT server. 138 (Thanks to Neil Blakey-Milner and Andrew Zavjalov for testing) 139 Some documentation changes. 140 14114.05.2000 1.0.2 142 - first public release 143 144Boris Popov <bp@butya.kz> 145
