https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=251830 Bug ID: 251830 Summary: Obsolete samba port or package reference Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Documentation Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: george.guimaraes@outlook.com Documentation on section 29.10. File and Print Services for Microsoft® Windows® Clients (Samba) (https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-samba.html) has the following verbiage: ... On FreeBSD, the Samba client libraries can be installed using the net/samba410 port or package. The client provides the ability for a FreeBSD system to access SMB/CIFS shares in a Microsoft® Windows® network. ... I would like to propose bumping the version of Samba to something newer, given the options one can choose from the package manager. samba410-4.10.18 Free SMB/CIFS and AD/DC server and client for Unix samba411-4.11.13 Free SMB/CIFS and AD/DC server and client for Unix samba412-4.12.7 Free SMB/CIFS and AD/DC server and client for Unix samba413-4.13.0 Free SMB/CIFS and AD/DC server and client for Unix % uname -a FreeBSD freenas 12.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE r366954 GENERIC amd64 Additionally, I would like to suggest adding a quick sub-section under 29.10.2 or after it, mentioning how to add one entry in /etc/fstab for convenient mounting with `mount` or even during boot process. Something like what's in the `mount_smb` man page: It is also possible to use fstab(5) for smbfs mounts (the example below does not prompt for a password): //guest@samba/public /smb/public smbfs rw,noauto,-N 0 0 Thank you! ps.: Please let me know if there is a way to contribute to this by sending a patch for review. I would be more than happy to work on the writing and formatting for someone to review and approve. -George. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
