Bug#783252: Document samba changes in regard to serving executable files to Windows clients

[Mario Lipinski <mario.lipinski@iserv.eu>]

Package: release-notes

Hi,

Jessie will release with Samba 4 containing lots of changes. While the 
default configuration will be mostly backwards compatible I belief the 
following change noteworthy in the release notes: Windows may ask to 
"open a file for execution". While with Samba 3 this was implied by the 
user being allowed to read the file, Samba 4 evaluates the unix 
executable bit and rejects such "open a file for execution" requests if 
the executable bit is not set. This will e.g. lead to netlogon scripts 
to be silently ignored by Windows clients if no executable bit is set 
and also execution of other executables and scripts is rejected if the 
unix executable bit is not set on the files.

Since this caused quite some hard time for me to figure out I would 
consider it noteworthy in the release notes.
