I have just released samba version 1.9.00. The long line of alphas has
finally come to an end :-)
You can get it via anonymous ftp from nimbus.anu.edu.au in
pub/tridge/samba/. Get the file samba-latest.tar.gz.
Of course, if we run true to the form of previous releases, I will
soon receive a dozen bug reports, and will have put put out a new
version.
Some late additions include an enhanced "smbclient -L" option that can
list the servers in a browse masters browse list, and a "smbclient -M"
option that can send messages to people running WinPopup. See the man
pages for details.
Enjoy!
Andrew
