New Samba 2.2 and beyond design philosophy
- For Samba 2.2 the design philosophy of the code was changed.
- Prior to 2.2, Samba tried to track the X/Open and Microsoft specification documents.
- The goal for Samba 2.2 was correctness, defined as "the way Windows 2000 acts".
- Test tools were written to test the behaviour of Windows 2000 over the wire, and Samba was modified accordingly.
- These Open Source test tools are now used by all the major SMB/CIFS vendors (including Microsoft) for compatibility testing.
