4 This is the first pre release of Samba 4.22. This is *not*
5 intended for production environments and is designed for testing
6 purposes only. Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting
7 system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/.
9 Samba 4.22 will be the next version of the Samba suite.
22 Starting with Samba 4.22 SMB3 Directory Leases are supported. The new global
23 option "smb3 directory leases" controls whether the feature is enabled or
24 not. By default, SMB3 Directory Leases are enabled on non-clustered Samba and
25 disabled on clustered Samba, based on the "clustering" option. See man smb.conf
28 SMB3 Directory Leases allow clients to cache directory listings and, depending
29 on the workload, result in a decent reduction in SMB requests from clients.
35 The "nmbd proxy logon" feature was removed. This was used before
36 Samba4 acquired a NBT server.
41 This option of the vfs_fruit VFS module that could be used to enable POSIX
42 directory rename behaviour for OS X clients has been removed as it could result
43 in severe problems for Windows clients.
45 As a possible workaround it is possible to prevent creation of .DS_Store files
46 (a Finder thingy to store directory view settings) on network mounts by running
48 $ defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
56 Parameter Name Description Default
