Samba 3.4.3

Hi,

I'm having problems with Windows7 and offline folder synchronization to FreeBSD 8.0 Release, running Samba 3.3.9.

Having had a look around the Internet, I believe the fix may lie within Samba 3.4.3. However I cannot see this as a package or port.

Does anyone know if Samba 3.4.3 will be coming to FreeBSD?

Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Have you installed Samba 3.4.3 in your FreeBSD since your post ?

As you, I cannot see Samba 3.4 as a package or port and I need update my Samba servers in this version quickly.

Thanks.
 
I have contacted the maintainer, but he doesn't have a spare development box at the moment, so I'm not sure when, or if it will be coming to ports.

I also had a go at compiling it from source, but couldn't make it work unfortunately.
 
It would be really nice if there was someone to take up the reins on supporting the Samba port.

Currently, we have the following in ports:

net/samba3 = 3.0.37
net/samba32 = 3.2.15
net/samba33 = 3.3.9

Yet the current version is 3.4.5. The 3.4 branch has been the current, stable branch since July 2009.
 
I just ran into the same issue with my wife's Windown 7 box, and I have gotten a Samba 3.4.5 port.
It seems to be working (don't have the 'call_nt_transact_ioctl(0x901af): Currently not implemented'
error anymore, sync works, etc.) on my amd64 box.

I need to test a bit more (and run it through tinderbox, portlint), and I'll open a PR and post it
for anyone to try.

Cheers.
 
After my post, I've contacted the maintener but as Orange said, he had problems with his development box. After some tests in a spare development box the port samba34 has been finalized.

I'm testing it since 3 weeks and it works without issues in an environment with interdomain trust relationship with Windows 2008 R2 AD servers.
