Modification history

27-Mar-2003, New 2.2.8 Version

Integration of changes from the Unix Version to be up-to-date to 2.2.8

Specific VMS fixes :

- File date/time display (there was an GMT/localtime difference)

- Fix of SMBD crash when sharing a disk at master directory (000000) level

- Fix of unexpected changes of files from VARIABLE to STREAM structure, and of unexpected changes in the modification date.

- Automatic creation of TDB indexed files when needed (thanks to Dave Jones)

In addition, note that the VAX version needs VAXY2K01_071 and VAXACRT10_071 patches to run correctly in version VAX/VMS 7.1

10-Mar-2003, New Version

Performance enhancements : the TDB processing routines has been rewritten for VMS, and now use Indexed RMS Files. A new procedure (INIT_TDB.COM) is provided in SAMBA_ROOT:[BIN] for creating a new TDB file. If you used the DOMAIN security mode with a previous release, you’ll have to join the Windows domain again after installing this version (smbpasswd –j …)

Enhancements in processing of memory cache validity

Some problems/bugs fixed (incorrect checking of passwords, …)

23-Jan-2003, New Version

Support for ODS-5 volumes, starting with VMS version 7.2-1. You'll need the last ACRTL patch to make it work properly. Check at http://ftp.support.compaq.com/patches/.new/openvms.shtml for your current system.

Some (minor) problems fixed.

• Unzip samba-2_2_8-src.zip which extract samba-2_2_8-src.bck
  unzip "-V" samba-2_2_8-src.zip
• explode samba-2_2_8-src.bck
  backup samba-2_2_8-src.bck/sav/sel=[samba-2_2_8-src...] dev:[dir...]
  where dev:[dir] is the directory where you want to put the kit.
• If you don't have a C compiler
• Donwnload also samba-2_2_8-obj.zip on Alpha or samba-2_2_8-obj_vax.zip on VAX.
• unzip samba-2_2_8-obj.zip which extract samba-2_2_8-obj.bck
  unzip "-V" samba-2_2_8-obj.zip
• explode samba-2_2_8-obj.bck
  backup samba-2_2_8-obj.bck/sav/sel=[samba-2_2_8-src...] dev:[dir...]
  where dev:[dir] is the directory where you have extract the kit.
• go to directory dev:[dir.source.vms]
  set default dev:[dir.source.vms]
  where dev:[dir] is the directory where you have extract the kit.
• If you want to rebuild from source:
  @build
• If you just want to relink and have restore the objects files:
  @link for an Alpha or
  @link_vax if you are using a VAX
• Then, you can execute the installation procedure, located in the same subdirectory (dev:[dir.source.vms]):
  @install
• Before running this installation procedure, please stop all SAMBA processes that could be currently running on your system. Those processes are named NMBD, SMBD* and SWAT*
• This procedure generates a SAMBA_STARTUP.COM procedure in SYS$STARTUP: SAMBA_STARTUP.C OM must be executed during the boot procedure.
  It also creates a new SAMBA_ROOT identifier and grants it to the SYSTEM user.
• Optionally, you can delete the directory containing the kit.
