I run samba in a jail and the jails are snapshotted using sanoid every =
hour so rolling back is easy.=20
But for  the changes it seems it's just reading the release notes for =
4.20.0, 4.21.0, 4.22.0 and 4.23.8 and trying to figure out what is =
relevant for FreeBSD in general and my config in particular ?
