Linux Today, Monday, April 1st, 2024
Samba, the popular open-source software suite that provides file, print, and authentication services for SMB/CIFS networks, has announced the release of Samba 4.20.0. This release comes after six months of development
It includes several new features and improvements, particularly in the areas of Active Directory (AD) compatibility and new utilities.
One of the key changes in Samba 4.20 is the inclusion of the 'wspsearch' utility, which implements an experimental client for the WSP (Windows Search Protocol) protocol. This utility allows users to send search requests to a Windows server running the WSP service, enabling more efficient and precise file searches.
