-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The last cifs-utils release (4.6) was on July 30th, so it's probably a good time to go ahead and release a new one with kernel 2.6.36 shipping soon. Major highlights: - - new cifscreds program has been added. This will eventually allow for stashing of username/password in the kernel's keyring for use by cifs. Kernel code for this is not in place yet, and the program is not yet built by default. Configuring with --enable-cifscreds=yes will enable it. - - timeouts for things like mtab locking now use monotonic time and should no longer have problems if the clock jumps ...plus the usual assortment of minor bugfixes and manpage updates. webpage: http://linux-cifs.samba.org/cifs-utils/ tarball: ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/linux-cifs/cifs-utils/ git: git://git.samba.org/cifs-utils.git gitweb: http://git.samba.org/?p=cifs-utils.git;a=summary Detailed changelog: commit 6739b667677b28740b87ede94e53dfc500718acb Author: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Oct 19 14:59:49 2010 -0400 autoconf: bump release to 4.7 Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxx> commit 202f4b43209da32afc7ce5445a8f561c354c8f82 Author: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Oct 8 15:11:58 2010 -0400 manpage: add mount.cifs manpage entry for "multiuser" option Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxx> commit d90691a283d0f2ed928476fc96970b1ef2a28662 Author: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Oct 8 15:11:57 2010 -0400 mount.cifs: reinstate ip= as an override for address resolution The manpage says: ip=arg sets the destination IP address. This option is set automatically if the server name portion of the requested UNC name can be resolved so rarely needs to be specified by the user. ...but recent changes have made it not work anymore as an override if someone specifies an ip= option as part of the mount options. Reinstate that behavior by copying the ip= option verbatim into the addrlist of the parsed options struct and then skipping the name resolution. That should allow the ip= option to pass unadulterated to the kernel.

The patch adds the "cifscreds" utility for management keys with credentials. Assembling of the utility from the distribution is possible with --enable-cifscreds=yes option of configure script.
