use Samba's password database, you must run the following command:
pdbedit --force-initialized-passwords
3.0.10:
LIBs flags changes for suid bins: LDFLAGS+='-Wl,-z,now'
3.0.12:
libsmbclient shared library retrocompatibility is not assured: please
rebuild all samba-linked third part packages
/etc/samba/private moved to ${PRIVATE_DST}
for better File System Hierarchy adeherence
3.0.20:
--with-idmap configure option removed

New USE flags:

3.0.22:
*sql backend: they were experimental, and now are marked as "deprecated"

functions of winbind (debug>=5 reveals secret ids in logs)
3.0.23:
*sql and xml backends have been removed by upstream devs. SQL is
temporarily continued on SourceForge (http://pdbsql.sourceforge.net),

see also ldap changes below
CAN-2006-1059: memory exaustion DoS against smbd in all samba versions
between 3.0.x and 3.0.23
General:
If you experience client locks in file transfers _only_, try the parameter
use sendfile = no (man smb.conf(5), man sendfile(2))
There also seem some problems with the smbfs implementation of the recent
2.6.x kernels. If you experience problems (lockups) with smbfs, try
'mount -t cifs' as an alternative

3.0.7: param: 'winbind enable local accounts' is now disabled by default

If you are upgrading from prior to 3.0.2, and you are using LDAP for Samba
authentication, you must check the sambaPwdLastSet attribute on all
accounts, and ensure it is not 0.
3.0.12:
smbldap-tools is now a separate package for ease of upgrade
3.0.23:
a new index is required: 'index sambaSID sub' (run slapindex afterwards)
use an updated samba.schema containing the correct 'sambaSID' definition
