Samba 4.22.4 has been officially released, bringing important enhancements and bug fixes to the Samba software suite. This update addresses multiple critical issues that users may have encountered, such as the NR_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED error linked to the netr_LogonSamLogonEx function, problems with domain controller switching when the current DC is down, and Windows security hardening affecting schannel'ed netlogon DC calls. Other fixes include resolving idmapping failures due to unresponsive secondary DCs, addressing a missing cache error in the kinit command, and correcting issues related to file access control lists (ACLs) for newly created files.
2. Domain Controller Switching: Getpwuid now correctly shifts to a new DC if the current one is unavailable.
3. Security Hardening: Resolved issues with schannel'ed netlogon DC calls being locked out due to Windows security updates.
4. Idmapping Failures: Addressed unresponsiveness in secondary DCs that caused mapping failures.
5. Kinit Command: Fixed the missing cache error encountered when using kinit.
6. File Access Control: SMB ACL inheritance now works correctly for files created.
