+ Major changes in beta 6
+ =======================
+ The policy is to stick with upstream updates unless there are compelling
+ reasons not to. The number of customers unable to run the software they

+ reason.
+ Samba 3x:
+ The Samba packages have reverted to those provided by CentOS to simplify
+ the support needed. This version of samba provides support for Windows 7
+ domain logins.
