Towards Samba version 4
The Samba Team is currently working towards a fairly major redesign of Samba for version 4. The new version aims to be a much more complete implementation of the SMB/CIFS filesharing protocol and the related DCERPC/MSRPC protocols. The new design also aims to be much more maintainable, by utilising code generation techniques where possible and much more robust and complete protocol parsing techniques for the parts of the protocol that are not am enabled tocode generation techniques. Samba version 4 is also being built with "extreme testability" in mind. As each part of the implementation is built we are building a comprehensive test suite that provides a level of detailed protocol level testing far beyond what has been possible in the past. |
