The usage message for this command has also been improved to remove confusion. +REMOVED FEATURES +================ + +The two commands "net serverid list" and "net serverid wipe" have been +removed, because the file serverid.tdb is not used anymore. + +"net serverid list" can be replaced by listing all files in the +subdirectory "msg.lock" of Samba's "lock directory". The unique id +listed by "net serverid list" is stored in every process' lockfile in +"msg.lock". + +"net serverid wipe" is not necessary anymore. It was meant primarily +for clustered environments, where the serverid.tdb file was not +properly cleaned up after single node crashes. Nowadays smbd and +winbind take care of cleaning up the msg.lock and msg.sock directories +automatically. + KNOWN ISSUES ============
