n/samba-3.2.3-i486-1.tgz
issue where group_mapping.ldb was accidentally chmod 666 (only in -current,
as all previous Slackware versions use the Samba 3.0.x branch which is not
affected). This build also adds the mount.smbfs wrapper script for
mount.cifs, and a link to the wrapper from /usr/bin/smbmount. This may
fix some of the issues that people were having mounting SMB filesystems.
Note that SMBFS is considered obsolete now, and using mount.smbfs really
isn't any different in function using the wrapper than using mount.cifs
directly. For more information on the security issue, see:

(* Security fix *)
Since this security issue only affects the unreleased development branch,
(aka -current) this ChangeLog comment is the official notification.
For those using older versions of Slackware, many of them got bugfix
updates to the 3.0.x branch. Check the new packages out – they should
correct some stability issues.
