Changed

Changed

• Fix service names for Ubuntu/Debian
• Start services in a single task
• Fix issue with NetBIOS name resolution not working on Ubuntu and Debian
• Updated list of supported platforms
  • Added Fedora 25
  • Removed Ubuntu 14.04 (the name of the samba service was changed to smbd in more recent versions, supporting both would become cumbersome)
  • Removed older versions of EL. The role should still be working on EL6, but the test environment doesn't work.

Added

• (GH-16) Added global option guest_account, share options writable and guest_ok (credit: morbidick)

• (GH-11) Added support for Arch Linux (credit: Jonas Heinrich)

2.1.1 - 2016-05-29

This is a bugfix release.

• (GH-6) Made creation of Samba users idempotent. The task "Create Samba users [...]" will now only indicate it has changed when it actually created a user.

2.1.0 - 2016-05-12

Added

• (GH-7) Support for Debian/Ubuntu (credit: Ian Young) and Fedora.
• Vagrant test environment for all supported platforms

Changed

• Moved test code to a separate branch
• (GH-8) Fixed deprecation warnings in Ansible 2.0 (partial credit: Ian Young)
• Use the generic package: module introduced in Ansible 2.0.

Removed

• The version: field in meta/main.yml was removed because it is no longer accepted in Ansible 2.0. Unfortunately, this change breaks compatibility with librarian-ansible. For more info on this issue, see ansible/ansible#.

2.0.2 - 2015-12-01

Changed

• The directory samba_shares_root is now created befor creating the directories of the shares, with sane permissions set. This fixes GH-3. Contributed by @birgitcroux.

Removed

• The role variables create_mask and create_directory_mask were removed. Samba settings create mask and create directory mask are synonyms for create mode and create directory mode, respectively. The former name is misleading, because it suggests they work like the Linux command umask.

2.0.1 - 2015-11-05

Changed

• (GH-1) The variable type of samba_create_varwww_symlinks is now boolean instead of string
• The variable samba_netbios_name is no longer required and defaults to ansible_hostname.

2.0.0 - 2015-11-05

Bugfix release with changes that are not backwards compatible

Changed

• (GH-1) The variable type of samba_load_* is now boolean instead of string, which makes more sense. However, this change is not backwards compatible.
• (GH-2) Restart WinBind when changing the configuration
• Updated the base box for the test environment to CentOS 7.1 (bertvv/centos71)
• Cleaned up indentation and spaces in the configuration file template

Removed

• The firewall configuration is no longer set by this role. This also removes the dependency on firewalld.

1.0.0 - 2015-03-14

First release

Added

• Installation
• Create directories
• SELinux settings
• Configuration template with a.o. configurable print sharing, home directories, user access control
• Set user passwords
