-1. Notes
---------
-
-- As of Samba 2.0.6-1, the Debian version of Samba is compiled with
-  Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) support. PAM support was 
-  discontinued during the libc5 -> libc6 migration process and I never
-  brought it back until 2.0.6-1.
-
-- The smbfs package does not support the 2.0.x Linux kernels anymore.
-  This has been the case since the very first packages of the CVS sources
-  that eventually became Samba 2.2. To use the smbfs package you need to
-  run a 2.2.x kernel or later.
-
-- Starting with the Debian packages for Samba 2.2, the Samba log files (for
-  nmbd and smbd) have been moved to a new location: /var/log/samba/. The
-  files also have new names: log.nmbd and log.smbd. The old files
-  (/var/log/{nmb,smb} were moved to the new location.
-

-2. Upgrading from Samba 2.2
----------------------------
-
-Samba 3.0 provides greatly improved support for modern Windows systems,
-including support for Unicode and LDAP.  In the process, Samba 3.0
-necessarily also breaks backward compatiblity with past releases.  These
-issues are documented herein; if you are aware of other problems related
-to upgrading from Samba 2.2, please let us know at
-<samba at packages.debian.org>.
-
-Samba and LDAP
---------------
-Starting with Samba 2.999+3.0cvs20020723-1 we are building Samba with
-"LDAP support.  However, the LDAP schema for Samba 3.0 differs
-substantially from the schema used by many sites with Samba 2.2 (not
-enabled in the Debian packages).  If upgrading from an LDAP-enabled 2.2,
-you will need to run the convertSambaAccount script found in
-/usr/share/doc/samba-doc/examples/LDAP.  A copy of the schema itself can
-also be found at /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/examples/LDAP/samba.schema.
-
-Character Sets
---------------
-Samba 3.0 introduces support for negotiating Unicode (UCS-2LE) with
-Windows clients.  Owing to the close similarity between Windows and Unix
-NLS charsets, in the past, many users were able to pass filenames
-containing non-ASCII characters between clients and servers without
-configuring Samba to know what character set was in use.  Now, Samba
-must be able to convert Unix filenames to Unicode before sending to the
-client, so Samba must know what character set the filenames are being
-converted from.  If you will be sharing files with non-ASCII names, and
-the filenames are not encoded with UTF-8, you will need to tell Samba
-which character set to use with the 'unix charset' option.
-
-If you had previously specified 'character set' and 'client code page'
-options under 2.2, these settings should be automatically converted for
-you.

-Please note that the package smbwrapper (a shared library that provides
-SMB client services that existed between Samba 2.0.0-1 and Samba-2.0.5a-4
-does not exist any more. The reason is that starting with Samba 2.0.6-1, that
-code does not even compile, and the upstream author (Andrew Tridgell)
-recommended to disable the compilation of smbwrapper until some issues
-with glibc2.1 get cleared out (the problem is with glibc, not with Samba
-itself).

-4. Support for NT Domains
--------------------------
-
-Samba 2.2 includes preliminary support for NT domains. A Samba server
-can now be part of a Windows NT domain whose Primary Domain Controller
-is a Windows NT server. This feature is supposed to be stable although I
-haven't tried it myself. Read the documentation in the samba-doc package
-for help on how to do this (hint: "security = domain" in the smb.conf
-file).
-
-Samba 2.2 has also experimental support for Primary Domain
-Controller. This means that a Samba server can act now as a PDC. There
-are no special flags needed to compile Samba with NT domain PDC
-support. Please read the NTDOM PDC FAQ at www.samba.org (Documentation
-section).
-
-Please note that NT domain PDC support is far from complete and is still 
-experimental.
