HISTORY revision 88282
120.12.2001 1.4.2 (interim) 2 - Various merges (but not all) from Darwin project. 3 - Minor man pages corrections. 4 - Support builds in the FreeBSD main tree. 5 616.04.2001 1.4.1 7 - Kernel side of smbfs committed in the FreeBSD-current. It controlled 8 by following options: LIBMCHAIN, LIBICONV, NETSMB, NETSMBCRYPTO and SMBFS. 9 - Removed static dependency on the libiconv library, option WITH_ICONV 10 removed as well. If you use libiconv support, make sure that the latest 11 port is installed. 12 - Multiple mount/umount operations called in parallel can cause kernel 13 panic - fixed. 14 - Misc code cleanups. 15 1626.02.2001 1.3.6 17 - Names of some options is the config.mk.in file are changed. The old ones 18 are still supported. 19 - Synch with changes in the recent -current (you'll need kernel compiled 20 from sources at least as of Feb 24). 21 - In all previous versions of smbfs signals weren't properly masked, 22 which caused erratical behavior of some programs (ftp(1) for example). 23 - Mounted shares may become "frozen" (no timeout occurs) if server died or 24 disconnected for some reason - fixed. 25 2609.02.2001 1.3.5 27 - The user and server names was swapped in the "TreeConnect" 28 request (fixed by Jonathan Hanna). 29 - smb requester could cause a panic if there is no free mbufs - fixed. 30 - It is possible to use smbfs with devfs now, but it wasn't tested under 31 SMP. Also note that device permissions will be wrong, because devfs 32 do not allow passing of credentials to the cloning function. 33 - nsmbX device moved from the /dev/net directory to /dev directory. 34 3531.01.2001 1.3.4 36 - Maintance: synch with changes in the recent -current 37 3828.01.2001 1.3.3 39 - Connection handling engine rewritten in order to reduce number of 40 possible deadlocks during reconnect operations. 41 - Directory traversals should be faster on large directories. 42 - smbfs now can talk to the NetApp servers (thanks to Jonathan Hanna). 43 - smbfs.sh.sample script updated (ideas from Nikolai Saoukh). 44 - Minor bug fixes. 45 4619.11.2000 1.3.2 47 - synch with changes in the recent -current 48 - nail down a nasty bug which may cause incorrect values supplied as 49 domain name (reported by Harald Weis). 50 - There was a bug in the directory listing code which caused long directory 51 traversals to fail (reported by A G F Keahan). 52 5329.10.2000 1.3.1 54 - An attempt was made to get rid from the possible kernel stack overflow. 55 - Now connection will be restored properly under -stable. 56 NOTE: NT servers have an 'AutoDisconnect' feature which will drop client 57 connection after some time of idleing. smbfs will restore connection on 58 the next request, but one may wish to setup a cron job with a simple 59 'ls /ntmount' command. 60 6120.10.2000 1.3.0 62 - Network IO engine significantly reworked. Now it uses kernel threads 63 to implement 'smbiod' process which handles network traffic for each VC. 64 Previous model were incapable to serve large number of mount points and 65 didn't work well with intensive IO operations performed on a different 66 files on the same mount point. Special care was taken on better 67 usage of MP systems. 68 Unfortunately, kernel threads aren't supported by FreeBSD 3.X and for 69 now it is excluded from the list of supported systems. 70 - Reduce overhead caused by using single hash table for each mount point. 71 7226.09.2000 1.2.8 (never released) 73 - More SMP related bugs are fixed. 74 - Make smbfs compatible with the Linux emulator. 75 - smbfs now known to work with IBM LanManager (special thanks to 76 Eugen Averin <mad@euinf.dp.ua>) 77 - Fix problem with files bigger than 2GB (reported by Lee McKenna) 78 - Please note that smbfs may not work properly with FreeBSD 3.X. 79 8016.08.2000 1.2.7 81 - Maintance: use better algorithm to detect SYSCTL_HANDLER_ARGS changes 82 to avoid compilation problems on various versions of FreeBSD. 83 8407.08.2000 1.2.6 85 - Fix iconv support, was broken in the 1.2.5 86 - Minor corrections to 'smbutil view' command. 87 - Fix kernel memory leak caused by two subsequent and identical 88 'smbutil login' commands. 89 9025.07.2000 1.2.5 91 - NetBIOS name resolver added. '-I' option still supported. WINS server 92 can be specified in the nsmbrc file (nbns variable). To use resolver 93 with Win9X machines you have to specify WINS server in the config file. 94 9512.07.2000 1.2.4 96 - Variable SRCTREE in the config.mk replaced with SYSDIR and should 97 point to the sys directory. '/usr/src/sys' for example. 98 - Correct problem with the keep-alive packets 99 10004.07.2000 1.2.3 101 - Killed some bugs related to the out-of-mbufs condition. 102 - new keyword 'addr' added to the config file to specify server address. 103 - Another attempt to make reconnection procedure more stable. 104 10521.06.2000 1.2.2 106 - Device handles wasn't freed under FreeBSD 3.4 - fixed. 107 Implement correct handling of multiple connections to the same NT 108 server (thanks to kit <kit.mitchell@team.xtra.co.nz>) for report. 109 More misc fixes for an NT servers. 110 11111.06.2000 1.2.1 112 - More bug fixes in the connection handling mechanism. 113 mount_smbfs(8) manpage has now proper description for an '-N' option. 114 smbutil supports new commands: 115 'print' - send file to the remote printer 116 'view' - list shares available on the specified host 117 'login' - create permanent connection to remote host 118 'logout'- counterpart of 'login' 119 'crypt' - produce an encrypted password to store in the .nsmbrc file. 120 12101.06.2000 1.1.2 122 - Support for FreeBSD 3.4 added (see INSTALL file for details). 123 Add advisory locking support in order to make fcntl(2), flock(2) 124 system calls actually work on smbfs. 125 Few non-serious bugs fixed. 126 12716.05.2000 1.0.5 128 - fix authentication code, this caused troubles with NT server. 129 (Thanks to Neil Blakey-Milner and Andrew Zavjalov for testing) 130 Some documentation changes. 131 13214.05.2000 1.0.2 133 - first public release 134 135Boris Popov <bp@butya.kz> 136
