Samba’s forthcoming version 3.2 release capitalizes on Microsoft’s interoperability commitments while also guarding against patent covenants that threaten the GPL.

Samba 3.2, which is expected to be released in roughly one month’s time, offers improved integration with the Active Directory in Windows Server 2003 and recently released Windows Server 2008 and offers support for Vista clients authenticating through Kerberos.

Version 3.2, for instance, offers full support for Windows Server 2003 cross-forest transitive trusts and one-way domain trusts, support for establishing interdomain trust relationships with Windows Server 2008, the ability to join to Windows server 2008 domains and built-in support for Active Directory LDAP signing policy.
