Version 5.04.1 - 19 Mar 2001
==============
1. pcserve: The following was just a problem on the Dec Alpha platform:
Since the Dec Alpha is a 64 bit architecture and is strict on alignment
in some cases, the PASSTHRU_SHM structure added in ver 5.00 was not
align to be a multiple of 64 bits. The way we compute addresses to other
structures within the shared memory, caused misalignment exception traps
to be generated. This produced error messages on the console, and the
exception routine was not always able to fix the problem. So again:
this is only a problem on the Dec Alpha platform, other platforms can
use either ver 5.04 or 5.04.1.
Version 5.04 - 8 Feb 2001
============
1. pcserve: Added a check that WRITE access has been set for shared drive
a) if the file exists and the TRUNCATE_EXISTING_FILE is set.
b) before setting write access if the rwshare flag requested it.
2. pcserve: Added a check in cufs.c get_fid so that a negative fid returns
an error.
3. pcserve: passthrough_server specified as domain\ip-addr is handled OK.
Now uses the NEG+SESS method in that case.
4. license: compiler on HPUX generated code that caused the days until
expiration date to be computed incorrectly. Modified code to work on all
platforms.
5. pcserve: passthru now echoes the client's primary domain name from the
client's sesssetup request. Then in a multiple domain scenario the
passthrough server can find out the client's domain. If the client's
domain is not the same as the domain of the passthrough server, then
the passthrough server will check if it has a trust to the domain of
the client. If there is a trust, then the passthrough server will contact
the domain controller in the client's domain and have the user
authenticated. So this was only a problem in a multiple domain environment
where users in more than one domain needed access to the Fusion95 server.
Version 5.03 - 2 Dec 2000
============
1. pcserve: Checking for when passthrough authentication can be used
corrected. Before it could also be activated in share level mode.
2. pcserve: In Unix security level (secmode=1) and password encryption
(pwcrypt=1), the encrypted password can get modified by a filtering
through a tolower routine, even if passthrough authentication
is in process. This would make the encrypted password garbled and the
password verification will fail.
3. pcconfig: When adding user from command line password and home directory
is no longer required parameters.
4. pcserve: When using User Level security (secmode=3) and passthrough
authentication is activated, if the user does not exist in the Fusion95
user database, a lookup of the special name "__DEFAULT__" will be done.
If the entry is not found an error will be returned, and no passthrough
authentication will take place.
If the entry is found, the unix user name in the entry will be verified.
If a valid user, then the passthrough authentication will take place,
of course with the original user name.
This way when you have a large number of users in the Windows network,
you do not need to add all of them in the Fusion95 user data base.
They will be authenticated on your NT domain controller, and mapped to
the user profile in the "__DEFAULT__" entry in the Fusion95 user database.
To activate this feature you add a user "__DEFAULT__" and fill in the
properties you want to assign to this default user.
To deactivate this feature you delete the "__DEFAULT__" user.
Version 5.02 - 28 Nov 2000
============
1. code for licensing now also works on Intel platform (LSB-MSB).
Version 5.01 - 21 Nov 2000
============
1. pcserve: Keyword in pcserve.ini "passthrough_server": Normally
you specify "DomainName\ServerName". ServerName can now be specified
as a ip-address in dot notation (a.b.c.d).
If the server is on the other side of a router, then you leave out
the DomainName and specify "\ServerName". If you specify a name,
then the name must be able to be resolved into a ip-address in dot
notation.
Version 5.00 - 15 Nov 2000
============
1. pcserve: Implemented passthrough authentication. New keyword in
pcserve.ini is "passthrough_server". You specify
"DomainName\ServerName". This should specify a Domain Controller.
More than one server can be specified to allow for redundancy.
Separate the entries with a semicolon.
2. pcconfig: When configuring users and passthrough authentication
is active, then no user password is needed.
3. pcconfig: Implemented user add and delete from command line.
Version 4.04 - 4 Aug 2000
============
1. pcserve: Better support for less than in wild card matching
as used by Windows 2000.
Version 4.03.8 - 26 Jan 2000
==============
1. Disk paths in all uppercase are no longer converted to
lowercase. Previously paths such as /G were converted
to /g. Requires Fusion95 4.03.8 and F95Admin 1.08.
Version 4.03.7 - 18 Jan 2000
==============
1. pcserve: Failure to lock a record with SMBlockingX now returns
ERRDOS-ERRlock instead of ERRnoaccess. A failed lock with SMBlock
already returned this error. This seemed to give problems on NT,
but not on Win95 systems, even though both used SMBlockingX.
2. pcconfig: No correctly reports errors if the windows size is less
than 80 cols or less than 24 lines.
Version 4.03.6 - 17 Jan 2000
==============
1. smbprtup: Improved error messages.
2. Support of Multiple Networks (Socket Transport Agents) on Himalaya
servers. Implemented using the -l option. Note that on UNIX machines,
Fusion95 will already run on all TCP/IP interfaces on all Network
Cards.
To enable a second Socket Transport Agent, do the following:
# cd /usr/fusion95/cfg
..copy the configuration files
# cp uname0 uname1
# cp domain0 domain1
# cp network0 network1
..on some systems, you might also have an interface file:
# cp interface0 interface1
..edit the new files as approprite. The socket transport agents
(network? files) must be different. The server name (uname? files)
should probably be different. The domain name (domain? files) can
be the same.
# vi *1
Support for additional Socket Transport Agents may be configured in
the same manner.
Version 4.03.5 - 22 Nov 1999
==============
1. pcconfig: Now converts Himalaya NSK user-id to OSS User-id. If the
NSK User-id and Group-id are entered then the OSS User-id will be
calculated automatically. If the OSS User-id is entered, then the
NSK User-id and Group-id will be calculated automatically.
2. pcserve: Always re-reads the license file every time a workstation
connects.
Version 4.03.4 - 01 Nov 1999
==============
1. pcserve: Himalaya now uses ftrucate instead of copy to truncate a file.
Version 4.03.3 - 27 Sep 1999
==============
1. pcserve: Tested with Windows 2000 - Release Candidate 1 - Build 2072
2. pcserve: Values returned in SMB header flags and flags2 now updated.
3. pcserve: Support for double quote ("), less than (<) and greater than (>)
in wild card matching.
4. pcserve: both parameters and data in a trans2 packet are now 32-bit
aligned.
5. pcserve: supports NT extended file attributes.
6. pcserve: always reports the size of a directory as zero.
7. pcserve: -o1 level tracing of trans2 improved
Version 4.03.2 - 15 Sep 1999
==============
1. Adds support for the /usr/fusion95/cfg/interface0 file. This can be
used to specify the interface configuration. Creating such a file
will override the normal ioctl calls. It contains one or more lines
of the format:
Name IP-Address Network-Mask Broadcast-Address
For example:
en0 10.0.0.210 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.255
en1 10.0.1.210 255.255.255.0 10.0.1.255
Use this feature on systems where ioctl obtaining the interface isn't
support, or when you don't want to start Fusion95 on all of the
available interfaces.
Version 4.03.1 - 6 Sep 1999
==============
1. pcserve - the directory search table has had the mask size increased
from 64 to 260 bytes. Previously files with names longer than 64
characters would not be seen when searched for specifically by name,
but would be seen when the whole direectory was searched (mask of *.*).
2. AIX 4.3.2 (and maybe even 4.3) has changed the format of the Network
Interface Configuration table. This new format is now supported.
Version 4.03 - 2 Sep 1999
============
1. pcconfig will now allow user password of up to 32 characters in length
(was max 15) and removes the restrictions of special charaters from the
user password (e.g. no period/dot allowed). Passwords over 15 characters
and containing a dot have always been configurable from F95ADMIN.
Version 4.02.11 - 6 Aug 1999
===============
1. Better supports printing via lp on UnixWare 7. Jobs bigger than 34 KB
will not get stopped in the lp queue after printing the first 34 KB.
2. Better trace output in smbprtup.
Version 4.02.10 - 27 Jul 1999
===============
1. pcserve: now accepts connections to *SMBSERVER as well as server name.
2. Tandem: removed pcserve -s and -S options, and replaced them with the
/usr/fusion95/cfg/network0 file. This is configured at install time.
3. Tandem: localhost is now defined as 127.0.0.1 in nbas and nbds.
4. Second preview version on Compaq/Tandem Himalaya NonStop Server.
Version 4.02.9 - 9 Jul 1999
==============
1. pcserve: -s and -S options added to allow Tandem to set the name of
the transport provider process.
Version 4.02.8 - 2 Jul 1999
==============
1. Better tracing added to trans2.
2. First preview version on Compaq/Tandem Himalaya NonStop Server.
Version 4.02.7 - 30 Jun 1999
==============
1. Sometimes NT sends an invalid second password length when not
encrypting, and thus a user cannot logon. This is now set to zero.
It is normally only seen when running with secmode=1.
Version 4.02.6 - 28 Jun 1999
==============
1. Install now creates files /usr/fusion95/sys/passwd and
/usr/fusion95/sys/group for use by F95ADMIN browse buttons.
2. pcserve: the SMB search packets can now be used to return long file
names in mangled 8dot3 format when running with a CIFS client.
This occasionally caused problems when running old 16-bit software
(such as HtmlWriter) in a 32-bit Windows with a Fusion95 server.
Version 4.02.5 - 18 Jun 1999
==============
1. Added better error reporting on semaphore errors.
2. Added trace 16384 for printers.
Version 4.02.4 - 7 Jun 1999
==============
1. Problems with on-local-lan question in smbprt.sh fixed.
2. The smbprt.sh now displays a message if it cannot verify the config.
3. Code added for Tandem Non-Stop.
4. A null unixname= in the user database causes the username specified
on the pc to be used as the UNIX user name.
Version 4.02.3 - 25 May 1999
==============
1. Linux port now tested on RedHat, Caldera and SuSE.
2. Removed the RedHat specific commands from the automatic startup
/etc/rc.d/init.d/fusion95 script.
3. The Linux f95start script will take down the dummy0 interface
if it is configured. This is required to make broadcasts work
on SuSE Linux.
4. Recognises samba installed as samba in addition to smb. This
provides a better installation on Caldera Linux.
5. Includes crypt to support Caldera.
Version 4.02.2 - 21 May 1999
==============
1. The following triggers now have quotes to allow for file and
path names containing spaces.
!n filename; no path
!f filename; path from root
!d directory; path from root
!F filename; path from share
!D directory; path from share
Version 4.02.1 - 17 May 1999
==============
1. Linux release tar file now has absolute path. (i.e. from /tmp/...
and not from tmp/...)
2. /usr/fusion95/fusion95 script added.
Version 4.02 - 12 Apr 1999
============
1. f95stop: no longer creates a wbeacon0.log file. This allows f95stop
to be run from a CD file system without displaying an error.
2. Support for Linux.
Version 4.01 - 6 Apr 1999
============
1. pcserve: the maximum pathname size is now 260 characters.
Version 4.00 - 31 Mar 1999
============
1. Released
2. Requires Fusion95 4.0 license code (will not run with a version 3 code)
3. smbprt.sh now makes sure that the configuration files can be read by
user, group and other.
4. SCO now copies the standard model to /usr/fusion95 before using it
in lp to print output.
5. Now makes sure that non encrypted passwords sent from a client are
not case sensitive. A client can now send lower case passwords, instead
of the normal upper case passwords. This was important when using
smbprtup as a client.
6. Install warns for previously installed: SCO TPI NetBIOS for TCP/IP
7. Files created near a new year in non-GMT timezones now have their
last modified and last accessed times correctly set.
8. The file create time is now returned as the lowest non-zero value of
the ctime, atime, mtime values held in the UNIX file system.
9. Problems with MS Office open dialog sending a null pathname to obtain
the disk attributes have been fixed.
10. Problems with triggers fixed.
Version 4.00.m - 15 Mar 1999
==============
1. Server doesn't stop (as seen on AIX) if it fails to do a setsockopt when
a session is connected.
2. Supports mixed case directories and 8.3 access to long directory names
by default. Set mixedcasedir=0 in pcserve.ini to disable.
3. Pcserve tries to detect connections from PCs in user level security which
require encrypted passwords when Fusion95 has encrypted passwords disabled,
and will display a warning message to the log file.
4. Better supports printing via lp on UnixWare 7.
5. NET LOGON server for non-WinNT machines is now part of the standard
Fusion95 package and not an add-on. It can be enabled by running the
command /usr/fusion95/install/logon and disabled by running the
command /usr/fusion95/install/logon off
6. ulevel script to configure the server with Enhanced User-Level
security, has been renamed /usr/fusion95/install/ulevel
7. Warns for visionfs package already installed on UnixWare and will remove
it if so desired.
Version 4.00.l - 3 Mar 1999
==============
1. Problems with session setup of WfW workstations with password encryption
enabled when Fusion95 is running in user-level have been fixed.
2. Problems with session setup of WinNT-SP3 and Win98 workstations with
password encryption enabled when Fusion95 is running in user-level have
been fixed.
3. nbns no longer logs packets it does not recognise unless tracing is
enabled. The option -n32 has been provided to do this.
4. pipe opens no longer cause error messages to be written to NT's event
log. pcserve now returns ERRSRV-4 instead of ERRSRV-1. These pipe
open requests are usually generated by browsing the file system
(e.g. with NT Explorer).
5. a problem with defunct processes caused by the implementation
of triggers has been fixed.
Version 4.00.k - 21 Feb 1999
==============
1. Problems implemented in ver 4.00.b with directory search now fixed.
Version 4.00.j - 19 Feb 1999
==============
1. Problems implemented in 4.00.i with DOS based file finds have been fixed.
Version 4.00.i - 4 Feb 1999
==============
1. Paths with long names, can now be accessed using their 8.3 short name.
Set mixedcasedir=1 in pcserve.ini to enable. One problem was executing
AniTa from within the setup screen. This passed the open file path of
\PROGR~B9\ANITA\ANITA.EXE and not \Program Files\AniTa\anita.exe
2. Names containing zero are now valid with Enhanced User-Level security.
Version 4.00.h - 2 Feb 1999
==============
1. pcserve will no longer terminate on a TCP/IP error from accept().
pcserve will thus survive serious network errors.
2. pcconfig now has the options -A, -U and -P.
3. ulevel.sh script added to configure the server with Enhanced User-Level
security.
Version 4.00.g - 28 Jan 1999
==============
1. smbprt.sh no gives a default bcast value even when upgrading from
lprt??.cfg files without $$bcast entries.
Version 4.00.f - 25 Jan 1999
==============
1. Support of Linux added.
2. Name mangling now ignores a leading dot in the long filename, and
puts a hash in the last 2 bytes of the filename following the tilde.
3. Files with long names, can now be accessed using their 8.3 short name.
One problem was running InfoExplorer's Properties on an executable
file with a non-8dot3 name.
4. smbprtup -w option now fixed.
Version 4.00.e - 12 Jan 1999
==============
1. Security Type has been removed from pcconfig.
2. The $$bcast yes or $$bcast no option can now be added to the smbprtup
configuration file. If the printer is on the same local LAN and can
be reached by broadcasts this should be set to yes. Otherwise to no.
3. The maxmux= option has been added to pcserve.ini (default 1).
4. smbprtup message "error reading pipe" now only printed when trace is
turned on.
5. No longer supports install-time upgrade from POWERfusion config files.
Version 4.00.d - 16 Dec 1998
==============
1. Implements trigger tracing. Set triggers=2 in pcserve.ini to enable
triggers with trace.
2. The [disks] section has now been added to the triggers file. Use this
section to disable triggers on each disk. To disable triggers on a
specific disk name set it to a null value (e.g. disk1=). To disable
triggers on all but a certain tree within a disk set the disk name
to the value of the root of the tree within the disk (e.g. disk2=/tmp).
The default which enable triggers on the whole disk is a value of /
(e.g. disk3=/ is the same as no disk3 entry).
3. smbprtup has a -e option to continue if a pipe error occurs.
Version 4.00.c - 02 Dec 1998
==============
1. Implements triggers. Set triggers=1 in pcserve.ini to enable triggers.
2. Share-level resources without passwords will now be mounted even if
a password is specified when doing the net use.
3. AIX 3.25 printer scripts lprt00 can now print from multiple different
users.
4. smbprtup no longer dies if it receives a tcp/ip datagram error.
(also added in version 3.30.a)
5. smbprtup no longer gets an EINTR after 3 seconds of printing.
(also added in version 3.30.a). This problem used to cause printing
through the /dev/lprtxx devices to fail and the smbprtup process running
in the background to terminate after the first print job or after 3
seconds of the first print job.
6. pcserve allows mixed case directories.
Version 4.00.b - 19 Aug 1998
==============
1. Remote administration now enable by default for new installations.
2. POWERLan shared disks no longer shared by default for new installations.
Version 4.00.a - 22 Jun 1998
==============
1. Support of encrypted passwords has been added to pcserve. This should not
be used with secmode=1. The pwcrypt=0 option in pcserve.ini can be used
to revert to the previos behaviour.
================= extract from pcserve.ini documentation =================
The pwcrypt value tells the server whether to enable or disable password
encryption. When password encryption is disabled, the use of plain
text paswords is forced. When password encryption is enabled, encrypted
passwords will be used by workstations that support that feature (such
as NT and Windows95) and plain text passwords will be used by earlier
workstations (such as WfW and DOS LANMAN).
Note 1: The use of password encryption requires that the NT_LM_012
protocol is being used (see smbprotocol=).
Note 2: Some workstations (such as NT4 with SP3) require that the
server supports encrypted password (unless this feature has been
turned off in the NT registry).
Disable 0
Enable 1
The default is:
pwcrypt=0 if secmode is set to 1
pwcrypt=1 if secmode is not set to 1
=============== end extract from pcserve.ini documentation ===============
2. The logging= parameter in the pcserve.ini file no longer supports the
bit: SHOW EVEN PASSWORDS 256
3. The pwcaseguess= option has been added to the pcserve.ini file.
================= extract from pcserve.ini documentation =================
This option makes the support of NT case sensitive passwords configurable
when using password encryption. This does not apply when running on non-NT
workstations or when using plain text passwords.
NT passwords are case sensitive, and the NT user should specify the correct
password in the correct case in order to access a Fusion95 resource. If
pwcaseguess=1 is set (the default) then if the NT user enters an all upper
case or all lower case password this will match any case of password
configured in Fusion95. (Note this is compatible with NT accessing a
Windows95 workstation).
Setting pwcaseguess=0 requires the NT user to specify the correct password
in the correct case.
=============== end extract from pcserve.ini documentation ===============
4. pcconfig no longer forces all passwords to upper case. Passwords entered
using an earlier version of pcconfig will have been forced to upper case.
5. Remote administration can now be enable in pcconfig.
6. Adds secmode=3. This requires a user database and allows encrypted
passwords to be used together with user level security.
7. User database can now be configured in pcconfig.
8. Supports F95ADMIN.EXE (ver 1.00)
Version 3.29 - 22 Jun 1998
============
1. Correct disk sizes are now returned to NT.
2. smbprtup now prints signal to stderr before termination.
3. SCO: smbprtup /dev/lprt?? now started with nohup.
4. Install: Catalogs ./boot, ./users and ./users/groups are now created
on all platforms (even those that don't normally create empty catalogs).
Version 3.28 - 9 Mar 1998
============
1. Can now print from Win95 to Fusion95 using "COPY FILE \\FUSION\PRINTER".
Win95 issues a getatr and expects an ERRDOS-5 in return.
2. Info Explorer now correctly reports and can change read-only files.
3. Problems in Windows95 when executing 16-bit DLL files located on Fusion95
have been fixed.
Version 3.27 - 17 Jan 1998
============
1. Installation now checks to see if another NetBIOS for TCP/IP is already
running.
2. Installation now stops Fusion95 if it is running.
3. If sending of datagrams fails, a program is no longer terminated. This
happened occaisionally on heavily loaded SCO Open Server 5 systems
Version 3.26 - 17 Dec 1997
============
1. nbns and nbas now add support for multiple network cards.
2. pcserve now supports characters with accents in long filenames.
3. pcserve now decrements user count correctly for core level workstations
and printer clients.
4. pcserve no longer exceeds the workstation negotiated buffer size when
sending a list of shared resources. If necessary it attempts to reduce
the buffer usage by not sending comments in order to get as many
shared resources as possible into the buffer.
5. pcserve: the option dontbrowsenetlogon=1 added to pcserve.ini in order to
stop the NETLOGON disk from being displayed in the browse window.
6. pcserve: the option checkbrowseaccess=1 added to pcserve.ini in order to
stop disks that do not have read access from appearing in the browse
window.
7. nbds: the -c option has been added to disable CIFS style logons. Only
LAN Manager / WfW style requests will be answered.
8. Domain/Workgroup names with 15 characters are now supported. Previously
the maximum length was 14 characters.
Version 3.25 - 10 Nov 1997
============
1. '-' now accepted as a part of the node name.
2. UNIX change password now supported from WfW 3.11 and W95.
Use W95 command 'net password \\servername' from a DOS-box
to change password.
Use WfW 'Network settings' from the 'Control panel' to change password.
See .../cfg/inifile.txt for configuration details.
3. The printer client can configure 1000 printers (00-999 instead of 00-99).
Change /usr/fusion/smbprt.sh 'maxprinters' to "99" if there is a need
to restrict the number of allowed printers to 99.
4. smbprtup: now reports error codes if the tree connect fails.
5. nbas: now uses name_query_request prior to node_status_request in
order to work correctly with NT 4.0
6. nbns: no longer terminates if sendto fails.
7. nbas: exit codes changed: 0 = status obtained ok
8. smbprt.sh/smbprtup: username can now be configured
9. smbprtup: -v option added
10. smbprt.sh: uses nbas -f and smbprtup -v to attempt to verify configuration
11. pcserve: fixed problems with file locking on newly created files.
12. pcserve: the option endofsearch=1 added to pcserve.ini in order to
close directories at then of search. This helps with programs such as
zetafax32 which didn't always close the directory and after use and
thus got a unix error 24 (0x18) too many open files.
13. Problems with file times, timezones and daylight savings time now fixed.
14. 64-bit values such as CIFS file lengths are now correctly written on
32-bit machines (i.e. zero-filled).

only when the search count is zero.
6. pcserve: trans2 now implements the TRANS/IPC trace mechanism (bit 4096).
7. pcserve: readBraw now returns an empty buffer when the client requests
data from a file with an invalid handle. Previously the session was
disconnected.
8. pcserve: setsockopt and tcptimeout options added to pcserve.ini file.
9. pcserve: rfc_write now loops if neccessary.
10. pcserve: the maximum pathname size is now 260 characters.
11. pcserve: file truncation is now supported on M88K SVR32 platform. This
caused problems with Word7 (Office95). This has always worked on all
other platforms.
12. pcserve: problems with "Bus Error" occuring when searching or executing
a file in a non-existant catalog on M88K SVR32 platform.
Version 3.23 - 11 March 1997
============

file to specify the filename case used on a users home disk. The default
is lower case (homecase=1) and can be changed to upper case (homecase=0).
7. Pcserve: The internalcharset= option has been added to pcserve.ini.
Set this to internalcharset=1 to convert filenames to ISO8859.
8. Nbns: The -z option has now been added. The command "nbns -z" is now
run automatically by install, pfstart and pfcheck. This verifies the
contents of the /etc/hosts file.
Version 3.22 - 31 January 1997
============
1. Pcserve: The use of 64KB buffers is now correctly enabled when the
NT_LM_012 protocol is used. This has always worked when the LANMAN_10
and/or MICROSOFT_NETWORKS_30 were negotiated. This speeds up the
performance of 95/NT workstations using long file names.
2. Pcserve: SMBgetatr now returns file time in correct format.
3. Pcserve: The SMBcreate, SMBmknew and SMBopenX commands can now be used
to set the file modified time on creation.

directory search using trans2 is performed. The "close search after
request" and "close search if end of search found" flags are now
supported. FIND_NEXT requests are now permitted even following a
non-generic FIND_FIRST.
2. Pcserve: Fixes problems when Win95 extended protocol is set, and
a Windows95/NT client performs a DIR. The compare mask routine
has been extended.

in the following commands:
- unlink (delete)
- move (rename)
- open
- open and x
- create
- mknew
6. Pcserve: adds options to the logging parameter in pcserve.ini.
- option "show even passwords" (256)
- option "show even ipc tree connects" (512)

a Windows95 client tries to access a Fusion95 server.
- when long file names are "guessed", both filenames must be of
the same length.
8. Pcserve: An lseek to before the start of file now positions to the
start of file.
Version 3.20 - 6 December 1996
============

in addition to the core protocol splopen (spooler open).
Version 3.16 - 5 November 1996
============
1. Pcserve: Fixes problems when NT/Win95 extended protocol is set to
enable support for long filenames.
- directory scanning works (more than once).

============
1. Pcserve: check path no longer displays a message in the log file.
2. Pcserve: preview version for long filename support. To enable long filename
support, the NT_LM_012 protocol is required: set smbprotocol=35 in the
pcserve.ini file. This requires a Win95 or WinNT client.
Version 3.13 - 26 September 1996
============
1. Pcserve: no longer returns a cluster size of 65636. This is because WfW
treats this a zero, giving a disk size of zero. Instead 65635 is returned.
Version 3.12 - 16 September 1996
============
1. Pcserve: a pcserve.cfg file with no shared resources is no longer invalid.
2. DEC: fixed a problem in the lp install script updateing /etc/printcap
3. Supports Solaris 2.5 on a SUN SPARC.
4. SCO: makes sure that even empty catalogs are created at install time.
5. nbas: now defaults to finding network nodes (redirectors). Use the -f
option to force nbas to find file servers.
6. pcserve.ini: now allows leading spaces.
7. pcserve.cfg: DEFAULT is now a permitted printer spooler command.
8. pcserve: attempting to dynamically use a resource with an invalid
password now returns bad password instead of invalid resource name.

============
1. Browsing: Improved support for browsing, especially in networks with
Windows NT and Master Browse Servers.
2. wbeacon: Beacon is now CIFS compatible rather than OS/2 LAN Manager.
3. pcserve: Length of SMBtrans response is now correct (was too long). These
extra characters were ignored on all platforms, except NT which ignored
the WHOLE packet.
4. Default protocol now includes LANMAN_10 and MICROSOFT_NETWORKS_30. This
allow for browsing and full advantage of SMB's enhanced features.
5. Default security is now USER_LEVEL.
Version 3.10 - 26 August 1996
============
1. smbprtup: the default netbios name from which the call is made is now
the server name. Specifying the -u option will change this name (in
addition to putting the username into the SMB spooler open packet).
This is of use when connecting to a USER-LEVEL server such as Windows NT
(or in some cases Windows95). In these cases the name from which the
call is name is used as the user name for authorization purposes, and
the printer resource password as the user password. Note that this
name should always be in upper case because the USER-LEVEL server expects
a workstation name. Previous versions always used the name "ROBERTA".
2. pcserve: read-only files can now be record-locked if opened exclusivly.
3. pcserve: fixes problems in the open files table. This caused symtoms such
as error "Invalid handle" being wrongly returned.
4. pcserve: the settings specified in pcserve.ini have been changed to
correctly reflect the documentation.
5. wbeacon & beacon & nbns: now trap SIGHUP and SIGINT on all platforms.
6. pcserve: in USER LEVEL security NET USE of disks is no longer allowed if
the user does not have at least read access to the resources home
directory.

=============
1. pcserve: Directory Shift value is now configurable in pcserve.ini.
(e.g. dirposshift=2)
2. smbprtup: A meaninful error message is now returned if the printer server
could not be found either by broadcasting a get name request or seaching
the /etc/hosts file via gethostbyname().
3. pcserve: The maximum disk disk and free disk size returned by pcserve is
now configurable in pcserve.ini specified in KB (e.g. maxdisksize=1000000).
Version 3.10h - 29 May 1996 - Beta version
=============
1. Pcserve: The SMBtconX response now only returns the device id in the
data field when LANMAN 2.1 or greater protocol is negotiated.

Version 3.10f - 12th May 1996 - Beta version
=============
1. Pcserve: Numeric values in the pcserve.ini file can now be specified as

three lines would all have the same effect:
homemode=493
homemode=0755
homemode=0x1ED
Version 3.10e - 7th May 1996 - Beta version
=============
1. Pcserve: The SMBtrans command now returns the correct Workgroup/Domain name
in the Get Workstation Info packet. Previously it always returned
"WORKGROUP". This could cause problems when browsing.
2. Pcserve: Log file output is now flushed immediately.
3. Pcserve: Logging has been enhanced to be able to log errors.
4. Pcserve: Session keep alive packets no longer cause a warning message to
be displayed with unknown tcp packet 85 00 00 00.
Version 3.10d - 2nd May 1996 - Beta version
=============
1. Pcserve: If the bind fails the program will retry. This problem sometimes
occurs is the server is stopped with existing sessions and the quickly
restarted without giving time for the sessions to time-out. Pcserve will
now wait for the old sessions to time-out before starting.
2. Pcserve: Now used rename() to rename a file instead of link() and unlink().
Fixes problems on some systems (including AIX) when trying to rename a
file without being root.
3. Pcserve: The home* parameters have been implemented in the pcserve.ini
file to automatically share a users home disk when in user level security.

/usr/fusion95/cfg (from /usr/roberta/cfg)
2. fusion95 - menu shell now contains an SMB server option to show open files.
3. nbns - NetBIOS name services now shipped. Fusion95 will now reply correctly
to NetBIOS name query and node status requests. It is now no longer
necessary to configure the Fusion95 server's IP address in the LMHOSTS file
on the client PCs if they are on the same broadcast network. But is
broadcasts from the client cannot reach the Fusion95 server, then LMHOSTS
must still be used.
4. f95start & f95check & f95stop - These now start/check/stop nbns.
