1.0 Beta 6 Release

A new beta of the miru directory server adds some important updates to the Samba suite. Password expiry and time jump issues for Kerberos clients should be alleviated. This release includes the following features:

  • NEW: Gateway specification for DHCP.
  • NEW: Secondary group support for users.
  • NEW: Samba TP3.
  • NEW: Per VLAN DHCP service (previous implementation had DHCP direct support).
  • UPDATE: The LDAP schema for Unix accounts changed, gecos is now name, and uid is unixName.
  • FIX: Updating user & group entries in directory more robust.


This version has a slight update to the menu screen, there is a planned update to the web interface to support the new translations from Rosetta.

The wiki pages on Ubuntu installation and support have been updated to the full Edgy Eft 6.10 release.


NB: Beta release, implements all features in the initial software requirements specification, likely unstable.
