Features and Fixes in Recent Releases
The following features and fixes are listed, beginning with the most
recent.
• PAM-NTLM can fail to handle Unix password expiration
A fix has been implemented for a problem wherein a user with an
expired Unix password can login to the host system without being
forced to change their expired password. This occurs only if the
recommended "stacked" configuration of libpam_ntlm.1 and
libpam_unix.1 is used and the user is not authenticated by the
NTLM server. With this fix, PAM-UNIX forces the user to change
their expired Unix password, as expected.
• Disconnected user sessions cannot reconnect
This enhancement enables user connections that have been
terminated by the server to be automatically re-established when the
user attempts to access the server.
• Logfile truncation at max size does not work
This fix enforces the maximum logfile size of 50 Mbytes. If the logfile
reaches this size, it is saved with .prev appended to its name
(overwriting any other previously saved copy). The logfile is then
restarted from 0 bytes.
• Incorrect timestamp after DST switch
This fix improves the synchronization of file timestamps between
CIFS/9000 clients and Windows servers, when the time changes
between standard and daylight savings time.
• NetBIOS scope broken if scope has embedded period (".") character(s)
This fixes a bug in the parsing of NetBIOS scope. Scope is an old
feature of the CIFS protocol and its use is discouraged.
• Some Japanese multibyte characters cannot be used
The Japanese-language character-map files for ShiftJIS encoding
have been modified to include symbols for integers-in-circles in the
range [1 - 20], and various mathematical, Katakana and other
symbols. 74 character mappings have been added.
• Latest revision of CIFS Unix Extensions, v2.1
