Bug Description
Binary package hint: samba
Changelog since current hardy version 3.0.26a-1ubuntu2:
samba (3.0.27a-1ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low
.
* Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
* debian/
- set SAMBA_VERSION_
* debian/control:
- Remove typehandling (not used in Ubuntu)
* debian/rules:
- Remove type-handling.
* debian/samba.init:
- Ubuntu's log_progress_msg is a no-op, so to avoid confusion, don't
say specifically which daemons we're handling. (LP #25803)
* debian/smb.conf:
- Add "(Samba, Ubuntu)" to server string.
- Comment out the default [homes] shares and add more verbose comments to
explain what they do and how they work (LP #27608). Also, add a
comment about "valid users = %S" to show users how to restrict access
to \\server\username to only username.
* debian/
- Bail out if there's no "mail" command.
- Alter the panic-action script to link to the samba bug reporting page
on Launchpad.
* debian/
- do not change priority to HIGH if dhclient3 is installed
- use priority medium instead of high for the workgroup question
.
samba (3.0.27a-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
[ Steve Langasek ]
* New upstream release
- fix regression with smbfs clients, introduced by the security fix in
3.0.27. Closes: #451839.
- debian/
* Drop the deprecated "printer admin" example from the default smb.conf.
Closes: #451273.
* Add a *new* debian/
printing system, because since the original introduction of this patch
in Debian there was a regression upstream that caused cups to never be
selected as the default print system.
* Set the default value for the workgroup question to "WORKGROUP" in
samba-
debconf question comes out right every time; and always treat this
as a high-priority debconf question instead of selecting the
priority based on whether there's an existing value, since there's
now *always* an existing value but the value doesn't tell us
anything meaningful about the user's preference. Closes: #451271.
* Drop some code from samba.postinst that only applies to upgrades from
pre-3.0 (i.e., pre-sarge) packages
.
[ Christian Perrier ]
* Update the "built by" part of README.debian
* Remove the very outdated parts of README.debian
.
samba (3.0.27-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream version
- fixes a remote code execution vulnerability when running nmbd as a
WINS server. (CVE-2007-5398; closes: #451385)
- fixes a buffer overflow in nmbd when running as a domain controller
during processing of GETDC logon server requests. (CVE-2007-4572)
.
[ Steve Langasek ]
* fhs.patch: net usershares should also be stored under /var/lib, not under
/var/run. No transition handling in maintainer scripts, since this
feature is not activated by default.
* get_global_
from smbpasswd -L or pam_smbpass when running as non-root, to avoid a
foreseeable panic. Closes: #346547, #450738.
* usershare.patch: enable "user shares" by default in the server with a
default limit of 100, to support user shares on both upgrades and new
installs with no need to munge config files. Thanks to Mathias Gug
<email address hidden> for the patch. Closes: #443230.
* On Ubuntu, support autopopulating the sambashare group using the existing
members of the admin group; no equivalent handling is done on Debian,
because there doesn't seem to be an appropriate template group we can use
that wouldn't be considered a privilege escalation for those users.
* Update Samba to explicitly use the C locale when doing password changes,
to account for Linux-PAM's recently adopted i18n support.
Closes: #451272.
* Enforce creation of the pid directory (/var/run/samba) in the samba
init script, for compatibility with systems that use a tmpfs for
/var/run. Closes: #451270.
* debian/
as the default printing system, as CUPS is now the dominant/default
printing system for Linux.
.
[ Debconf translations ]
* Hebrew added. Closes: #444054
.
[ Christian Perrier ]
* Split fhs.patch into 3 separate patches to make upstream integration
easier:
- fhs-newpaths.patch: introduce new paths
- fhs-filespaths.
- fhs-assignpaths
* Compile with DNS update support. Thanks to Matthias Gug for
reporting and contributions from Launchpad's #156686
Closes: #449422

Comments on the changes dropped since the last Ubuntu version:
- debian/ samba-common. templates and changes under debian/po - Ubuntu had diverged unnecessarily from Debian on the template description due to a past incorrect merge, resulting in fuzzy translations. This has now been corrected. Also, Ubuntu used a different default workgroup name than the upstream default; this was discussed in Debian bug #451271, and the conclusion is that the Debian default is correct. handler= true to catch errors starting samba on package configuration, in response to LP bug #85194. This was discussed in Debian bug #451269, with the conclusion that this was not the correct fix for the problem, so has been reverted here.
- debian/rules - Ubuntu used an option of --error-
- debian/smb.conf - "printer admin" is a deprecated option, so should be dropped completely from the examples.
