Samba 4.22.0rc2 released

The second release candidate for Samba 4.22.0 has been released for testing purposes. The update introduces new features, including SMB3 Directory Leases, which enable clients to cache directory listings, thereby minimizing SMB requests. The global option "smb3 directory leases" determines the status of the feature, either enabling or disabling it. Samba is now capable of utilizing TCP through the "client netlogon ping protocol" parameter, facilitating operation in environments where firewalls restrict access to port 389 or UDP traffic directed towards domain controllers. The "nmbd proxy logon" feature has been eliminated, and the "cldap port" parameter has been discontinued. The posix_rename option of the vfs_fruit VFS module has been removed to mitigate significant issues for Windows clients. The updates since version 4.21.0rc1 include the elimination of the "cldap port" parameter.
