Samba provides secure, stable and fast file and print services for all clients using the SMB/CIFS protocol. It is an important component to seamlessly integrate FreeBSD/Linux/Unix Servers and Desktops into Active Directory environments. It can function both as a domain controller or as a regular domain member.
The new FreeBSD Samba Team was created to better coordinate maintenance efforts of the Samba ports and its dependencies, in particular:
Notable changes in the last quarter include:
-
Creation of the FreeBSD Samba Team by Timur Bakeyev, Xavier Beaudouin, Yasuhiro Kimura, Mateusz Piotrowski, and Mikaël Urankar.
-
Added

Switching net/samba419 to use external dependencies by default instead of vendoring (sponsored by Klara, Inc.)
