The Samba Team released Samba 4.20 on 27 March 2024.
Held over two days at the Michael Fowler centre, the con hosted 27 presentations by 27 excellent individuals on a huge range of security-related topics.

In 2013, Catalyst improved Samba's AD DC security by implementing 'bad password lockout' to align with Microsoft's standards.
