Status page for Samba-TNG 0.4.99

last update: November 11th, 2006

Samba-TNG and other smb/cifs clients or servers

Important notice:
Due to the limit of human resources we did not repeat all the tests from the 0.3 version.
Windows 2003 Server is working well with domain trusts as the Windows 2000 Server does in our testlab.
If you find some bugs, please report them. In many cases we should be able to verify your bugreport in the testlab.

1) Not tested yet.
2) , 3) Windows 2000 SP 4 or above, Windows XP SP1 or above, and Windows 2003 Server expect ACL-Support on the profile share; see the Microsoft Knowledge Base Q327462. The smbd of Samba-TNG 0.4 doesn't support ACLs.
Workarounds: Use another server to serve romaing profiles, such as Windows NT/2000 or Samba 3.0, or disable the client's ACL check with the registry patch in docs/windows-registry-patches/WinXP_RoamingProfiles.reg.
