>     completely rewritten. An internal database now stores mangling maps
>     persistently. This needs lots of testing.

> 5)  New "net" command. A new "net" command has been added. It is
>     somewhat similar to the "net" command in windows. Eventually we
>     plan to replace a bunch of other utilities (such as smbpasswd)
>     with subcommands in "net", at the moment only a few things are
>     implemented.

> 6)  Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
>     improves error handling a lot.

> 7)  Better Windows 2000/XP/2003 printing support including publishing
>     printer attributes in active directory
>
> 8)  New loadable RPC modules
>
> 9)  New dual-daemon winbindd support (-B) for better performance

> 10) Support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Samba
>     domain and maintaining user, group and domain SIDs
>
> 11) Support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
>     domain controllers
>
> 12) Initial support for a distributed Winbind architecture using

Sono particolarmente contento perche' ho contribuito con 50 euro donandoli e 
mi fa felice vedere che siano stati spesi a buon fine (sono uno studente....)
