Samba 3.5.6 will be included and addresses the following major isuess:

- Add support for full Windows timestamp resolution
- 'net', 'smbclient' and libsmbclient can use credentials cached by Winbind.
- The default value of "wide links" has been changed to "no".
- Experimental implementation of SMB2
- Add encryption support for connections to a CUPS server
- Winbind aynchronous and general major refactoring
- New vfs_scannedonly module has been added.
- Includes security fixes to address CVE-2010-0728 and CVE-2010-3069.

For more information about Samba in openSUSE we might point people to
http://en.openSUSE.org/Samba and in general http://samba.org/ has a
column presenting the latest news about Samba.

And now I remember we already had 3.5.4 in 11.3.  Therefore only the
CVE-2010-3069 fix and some major enhancements got added with 3.5.6.

See http://samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.5.6.html for the detailed
list of addressed issues.
