2.4 What’s New (OES 11 SP1 March 2014 Patches)

In addition to bug fixes, the DSfW service provides the following enhancement and behavior change in the March 2014 Scheduled Maintenance for OES 11 SP1:

New Configuration Parameter in smb.conf File

A new environment variable, winbind rpc timeout, is introduced in /etc/samba/smb.conf file to specify the timeout interval for the incoming RPC (Remote Procedure Call) requests. This enables you to avoid a windbindd crash due to the timeout while processing the winbind RPC requests. The default value of this parameter is 35000 milliseconds. If you observe a winbindd crash, increase the value of this parameter to a greater value, such as 100000 milliseconds.
