New upstream release that closes CAN-2004-1154 bz#142544

Summary

Samba is the suite of programs by which a lot of PC-related machines

share files, printers, and other information (such as lists of available

files and printers). The Windows NT, OS/2, and Linux operating systems

support this natively, and add-on packages can enable the same thing

for DOS, Windows, VMS, UNIX of all kinds, MVS, and more. This package

provides an SMB server that can be used to provide network services to

SMB (sometimes called "Lan Manager") clients. Samba uses NetBIOS over

TCP/IP (NetBT) protocols and does NOT need the NetBEUI (Microsoft Raw

NetBIOS frame) protocol.

- New upstream release that closes CAN-2004-1154 bz#142544

- Include the -64bit patch from Nalin. This closes bz#142873

- Update the -logfiles patch to work with 3.0.10

- Create /var/run/winbindd and make it part of the -common rpm to close

bz#142242

- move /var/log/samba to -common
