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.

I have not heard anything since Justin's suggestions.  I am therefore
closing this as fixed. :)
