1284345Ssjg16.04.2001 1.4.1 2284345Ssjg - Kernel side of smbfs committed in the FreeBSD-current. It controlled 3284345Ssjg by following options: LIBMCHAIN, LIBICONV, NETSMB, NETSMBCRYPTO and SMBFS. 4284345Ssjg - Removed static dependency on the libiconv library, option WITH_ICONV 5284345Ssjg removed as well. If you use libiconv support, make sure that the latest 6284345Ssjg port is installed. 7284345Ssjg - Multiple mount/umount operations called in parallel can cause kernel 8284345Ssjg panic - fixed. 9284345Ssjg - Misc code cleanups. 10284345Ssjg 11284345Ssjg26.02.2001 1.3.6 12284345Ssjg - Names of some options is the config.mk.in file are changed. The old ones 13284345Ssjg are still supported. 14 - Synch with changes in the recent -current (you'll need kernel compiled 15 from sources at least as of Feb 24). 16 - In all previous versions of smbfs signals weren't properly masked, 17 which caused erratical behavior of some programs (ftp(1) for example). 18 - Mounted shares may become "frozen" (no timeout occurs) if server died or 19 disconnected for some reason - fixed. 20 2109.02.2001 1.3.5 22 - The user and server names was swapped in the "TreeConnect" 23 request (fixed by Jonathan Hanna). 24 - smb requester could cause a panic if there is no free mbufs - fixed. 25 - It is possible to use smbfs with devfs now, but it wasn't tested under 26 SMP. Also note that device permissions will be wrong, because devfs 27 do not allow passing of credentials to the cloning function. 28 - nsmbX device moved from the /dev/net directory to /dev directory. 29 3031.01.2001 1.3.4 31 - Maintance: synch with changes in the recent -current 32 3328.01.2001 1.3.3 34 - Connection handling engine rewritten in order to reduce number of 35 possible deadlocks during reconnect operations. 36 - Directory traversals should be faster on large directories. 37 - smbfs now can talk to the NetApp servers (thanks to Jonathan Hanna). 38 - smbfs.sh.sample script updated (ideas from Nikolai Saoukh). 39 - Minor bug fixes. 40 4119.11.2000 1.3.2 42 - synch with changes in the recent -current 43 - nail down a nasty bug which may cause incorrect values supplied as 44 domain name (reported by Harald Weis). 45 - There was a bug in the directory listing code which caused long directory 46 traversals to fail (reported by A G F Keahan). 47 4829.10.2000 1.3.1 49 - An attempt was made to get rid from the possible kernel stack overflow. 50 - Now connection will be restored properly under -stable. 51 NOTE: NT servers have an 'AutoDisconnect' feature which will drop client 52 connection after some time of idleing. smbfs will restore connection on 53 the next request, but one may wish to setup a cron job with a simple 54 'ls /ntmount' command. 55 5620.10.2000 1.3.0 57 - Network IO engine significantly reworked. Now it uses kernel threads 58 to implement 'smbiod' process which handles network traffic for each VC. 59 Previous model were incapable to serve large number of mount points and 60 didn't work well with intensive IO operations performed on a different 61 files on the same mount point. Special care was taken on better 62 usage of MP systems. 63 Unfortunately, kernel threads aren't supported by FreeBSD 3.X and for 64 now it is excluded from the list of supported systems. 65 - Reduce overhead caused by using single hash table for each mount point. 66 6726.09.2000 1.2.8 (never released) 68 - More SMP related bugs are fixed. 69 - Make smbfs compatible with the Linux emulator. 70 - smbfs now known to work with IBM LanManager (special thanks to 71 Eugen Averin <mad@euinf.dp.ua>) 72 - Fix problem with files bigger than 2GB (reported by Lee McKenna) 73 - Please note that smbfs may not work properly with FreeBSD 3.X. 74 7516.08.2000 1.2.7 76 - Maintance: use better algorithm to detect SYSCTL_HANDLER_ARGS changes 77 to avoid compilation problems on various versions of FreeBSD. 78 7907.08.2000 1.2.6 80 - Fix iconv support, was broken in the 1.2.5 81 - Minor corrections to 'smbutil view' command. 82 - Fix kernel memory leak caused by two subsequent and identical 83 'smbutil login' commands. 84 8525.07.2000 1.2.5 86 - NetBIOS name resolver added. '-I' option still supported. WINS server 87 can be specified in the nsmbrc file (nbns variable). To use resolver 88 with Win9X machines you have to specify WINS server in the config file. 89 9012.07.2000 1.2.4 91 - Variable SRCTREE in the config.mk replaced with SYSDIR and should 92 point to the sys directory. '/usr/src/sys' for example. 93 - Correct problem with the keep-alive packets 94 9504.07.2000 1.2.3 96 - Killed some bugs related to the out-of-mbufs condition. 97 - new keyword 'addr' added to the config file to specify server address. 98 - Another attempt to make reconnection procedure more stable. 99 10021.06.2000 1.2.2 101 - Device handles wasn't freed under FreeBSD 3.4 - fixed. 102 Implement correct handling of multiple connections to the same NT 103 server (thanks to kit <kit.mitchell@team.xtra.co.nz>) for report. 104 More misc fixes for an NT servers. 105 10611.06.2000 1.2.1 107 - More bug fixes in the connection handling mechanism. 108 mount_smbfs(8) manpage has now proper description for an '-N' option. 109 smbutil supports new commands: 110 'print' - send file to the remote printer 111 'view' - list shares available on the specified host 112 'login' - create permanent connection to remote host 113 'logout'- counterpart of 'login' 114 'crypt' - produce an encrypted password to store in the .nsmbrc file. 115 11601.06.2000 1.1.2 117 - Support for FreeBSD 3.4 added (see INSTALL file for details). 118 Add advisory locking support in order to make fcntl(2), flock(2) 119 system calls actually work on smbfs. 120 Few non-serious bugs fixed. 121 12216.05.2000 1.0.5 123 - fix authentication code, this caused troubles with NT server. 124 (Thanks to Neil Blakey-Milner and Andrew Zavjalov for testing) 125 Some documentation changes. 126 12714.05.2000 1.0.2 128 - first public release 129 130Boris Popov <bp@butya.kz> 131
