The Samba Team is proud to announce the availability of the first beta release of the Samba 3.0.0 code base. While we are significantly closer to the final release, I will remind you that this is a non-production release provided for testing only.

Here’s a roundup of information for you:

  • What’s new including:
    • Active Directory support
    • Unicode
    • authentication upgrades
    • windows ‘net’ command workalike (cool!)
    • much more

The 3.x release is what Samba junkies everwhere have been waiting for.  Props to the Samba team!
