Samba 4.2 now implements SMB2 leases. + +It can be turned on by setting the parameter "smb2 leases = yes" +in the [global] section of your smb.conf. This parameter is set +to off by default until the SMB2 leasing code is declared fully stable. + Improved DCERPC man in the middle detection =========================================== -- 1.9.1
