About:
Samba is an software suite that provides seamless file and print services to SMB/CIFS clients. It is freely available, unlike other SMB/CIFS implementations, and allows for interoperability between Linux/Unix servers and Windows-based clients.

Release focus: Major security fixes

Changes:
This release fixes the trans2 remote buffer overflow. New version and patches are a rollup of the latest security releases. Various other heap and stack overflows are also fixed. Problems are addressed in CAN-2003-0201 and CAN-2003-0085.

[»] Samba RPM Packages
by Marius Gedminas - Jan 20th 1999 11:47:18

The location of RedHat packages above is incorrect (/pub/samba/ does not exist on samba.anu.edu.au). So far I was unable to find Samba 2.0.0 binary RPM package (and there is not enough free disk space on my home box to compile it). It'd be very nice if someone provided a working URL.
