A new verion of Samba is released, version 3.6.0. Samba is an Open Source/Free Software suite that provides seamless file and print services to SMB/CIFS. It provides interoperability between Linux/Unix servers and Windows-based clients.  Major enhancements in Samba 3.6.0 include: Changed security defaults Samba 3.6 has adopted a number of improved security defaults that will impact on existing users of Samba. client ntlmv2 auth = yes client use spnego principal = no send spnego principal = no The impact of 'client ntlmv2 auth = yes' is that by default we will not use NTLM authentication as a client. This applies to the Samba client tools such as smbclient and winbind, but does not change the separately released in-kernel CIFS client. To re-enable the poorer NTLM encryption set '--option=clientusentlmv2auth=no' on your smbclient command line, or set 'client ntlmv2 auth = no' in your smb.conf SMB2 support SMB2 support in 3.6.0 is fully functional (with one omission), and can be enabled by setting: max protocol = SMB2 Head over here for the complete release notes: Head over here for the downloads:
