2 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.20
4 ==============================
6 This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version
7 that production Samba servers should be running for all current
8 bug-fixes. This is a substantial upgrade from previous Samba
9 3.0.x releases. Please read the section "What happened to 3.0.15 -
10 3.0.19?" and the other major change descriptions.
12 Additional features introduced in Samba 3.0.20 include:
14 o Support for several new Win32 rpc pipes.
15 o Improved support for OS/2 clients.
16 o New 'net rpc service' tool for managing Win32 services.
17 o Capability to set the owner on new files and directory
18 based on the parent's ownership.
19 o Experimental, asynchronous IO file serving support.
20 o Completed Support for Microsoft Print Migrator.
21 o New Winbind IDmap plugin (ad) for retrieving uid and gid
22 from AD servers which maintain the SFU user and group
24 o Rewritten support for POSIX pathnames when utilizing
25 the Linux CIFS fs client.
26 o New asynchronous winbindd.
27 o Support for Microsoft Print Migrator.
28 o New Windows NT registry file I/O library.
29 o New user right (SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege) added.
30 o New "net share migrate" options.
33 What happened to 3.0.15 - 3.0.19?
34 ==================================
36 After some discussion it was deemed that the amount of changes
37 going into the next Samba 3.0 release needed something to catch
38 people's attention. Skipping several releases was chosen as
39 the best solution with the least overhead. There will be no
40 3.0.15 - 3.0.19 ever released. The next production release
41 following 3.0.20 should be 3.0.21.
43 The original announcement about the version number change can
44 be found in the samba mailing list archives:
46 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&m=111721010206997&w=2
49 Asynchronous Winbind Implementation
50 ===================================
52 Winbindd has been completely rewritten in this release to support
53 an almost completely non-blocking, asynchronous request/reply
54 model. This means that winbindd will scale much better in
55 large domain environments and on high latency networks. Neither
56 the client interface nor the command line tools (i.e. wbinfo) have
57 changed in their calling conventions or syntax. However, due to
58 internal structure changes, it is required (more so than normal)
59 that you install the nss_winbind.so library included in this release.
62 Support for Microsoft Print Migrator
63 ====================================
65 Samba 3.0.20 includes full support for migrating printers from
66 Windows servers or other Samba servers via the Microsoft Print
67 Migrator tool. Restoring printers requires a working "add printer
68 command" defined in smb.conf. Current support also allows
69 administrators to create a master list of printer drivers which
70 can be restored in bulk on new (or existing) Samba installations.
73 Asynchronous IO Support
74 =======================
76 Experimental support for async IO has been added to smbd for
77 certain platforms. To enable this new feature, Samba must be
78 compiled to include the --with-aio-support configure option.
79 In addition, the "aio read size" and "aio write size" to non-zero
80 values. See the smb.conf(5) man page for more details on these

1010 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.12
1012 ==============================
1014 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.12 include:
1016 o Winbind failures when using 'disable netbios = yes'
1017 o Failure to establish a trust relationship via 'net rpc trust
1019 o Various portability & compiler issues.
1020 o Read only file deletion failure caused by new delete semantics
1021 in Windows XP SP2 and the MS 04-044 security hotfix.
1022 o Error messages from shared Excel workbooks residing on Samba
1024 o Missing files in the output of smbclient -c 'dir' when run

1029 Additional features introduced in Samba 3.0.12:
1031 o Performance enhancements when serving directories containing
1032 large number of files.
1033 o MS-DFS support added to smbclient.
1034 o More performance improvements when using Samba/OpenLDAP based

1036 o Support for the Novell NDS universal password when using the
1037 ldapsam passdb backend.

1039 replace 'smbpasswd {-a,-x} -i'.
1040 o New libsmbclient functionality.
1044 =======================
1045 Large Directory Support
1046 =======================
1048 Samba 3.0.12pre1 introduces a specific mechanism for dealing
1049 with file services that frequently contain a large number of files
1050 per directory. Historically Samba's performance has suffered
1051 in such environments due to the translation from case
1052 insensitive lookups by Windows client to the case sensitive
1053 storage mechanisms used by UNIX filesystems.
1055 Configuration details along with a short HOWTO can be found at:
1057 http://www.samba.org/samba/ftp/HOWTO/Samba-LargeDirectory-HOWTO
1060 ==================================
1061 libsmbclient Binary Compatibility
1062 ==================================
1064 Please note that a change has been made to the _SMBCCTX structure
1065 in source/include/libsmbclient.h. This change is not backwards
1066 compatible with applications linked against the libsmbclient.so
1067 library from Samba 3.0.11. However, it is compatible with all
1068 other Samba 3.0.x releases. This means that it will be most likely
1069 be necessary to recompile any applications linked against the
1070 3.0.11 version of the library.

1384 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.11
1386 ==============================
1388 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.11 include:
1390 o Crash in smbd when using CUPS printing.
1391 o Parsing error of other SIDs included in the user_info_3
1392 structure returned from domain controllers.
1393 o Inefficiencies when searching non-AD LDAP directories.
1394 o Failure to expand variables in user domain attributes
1395 in tdbsam and ldapsam.
1397 o Failure to retrieve certain attribute when migrating from
1398 a Windows DC to a Samba DC via 'net rpc vampire'.
1399 o Numerous printing bugs bugs including memory
1400 bloating on large/busy print servers.
1401 o Compatibility issues with Exchange 5.5 SP4.
1404 Additional features introduced in Samba 3.0.11:
1406 o Winbindd performance improvements.
1407 o More 'net rpc vampire' functionality.
1408 o Support for the Windows privilege model to assign rights
1410 o New administrative options to the 'net rpc' command.
1417 If "ldap user suffix" or "ldap machine suffix" are defined in
1418 smb.conf, all user-accounts must reside below the user suffix,
1419 and all machine and inter-domain trust-accounts must be located
1420 below the machine suffix. Previous Samba releases would fall
1421 back to searching the 'ldap suffix' in some cases.
1428 Samba 3.0.11 supports the following assignable rights
1430 SeMachineAccountPrivilege Add machines to domain
1431 SePrintOperatorPrivilege Manage printers
1432 SeAddUsersPrivilege Add users and groups to the domain
1433 SeRemoteShutdownPrivilege Force shutdown from a remote system
1434 SeDiskOperatorPrivilege Manage disk shares
1436 These rights can be assigned to arbitrary users or groups
1437 via the 'net rpc rights grant/revoke' command. More details
1438 of Samba's privilege implementation can be found in the
1439 Samba-HOWTO-Collection.

1973 o Fixes for the printer publishing code used when joined to
1975 o Incompatibilities with file system quotas.

1994 o Additional printer migration support for XP/2003 platforms.
1997 ===========================
1998 Change in Winbindd Behavior
1999 ===========================
2001 All usernames returned by winbindd are now converted to lower
2002 case for better consistency. This means any winbind installation
2003 relying on the winbind username will need to rename existing
2004 directories and/or files based on the username (%u and %U) to lower
2005 case (e.g. mv $name `echo $name | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`). This may
2006 include mail spool files, home directories, valid user lines in
2010 ======================
2011 Change in Username Map
2012 ======================
2014 Previous Samba releases would only support reading the fully qualified
2015 username (e.g. DOMAIN\user) from the username map when performing a
2016 kerberos login from a client. However, when looking up a map
2017 entry for a user authenticated by NTLM[SSP], only the login name would be
2018 used for matches. This resulted in inconsistent behavior sometimes
2019 even on the same server.
2021 Samba 3.0.8 obeys the following rules when applying the username
2024 * When performing local authentication, the username map is
2025 applied to the login name before attempting to authenticate
2027 * When relying upon a external domain controller for validating
2028 authentication requests, smbd will apply the username map
2029 to the fully qualified username (i.e. DOMAIN\user) only
2030 after the user has been successfully authenticated.

2568 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.6
2570 =============================
2572 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.6 include:
2574 o Schannel failure in winbindd.
2575 o Numerous memory leaks.
2576 o Incompatibilities between the 'write list' and 'force user'
2578 o Premature optimization of the open_directory() internal
2579 function that broke tools such as the ArcServe backup
2580 agent, Macromedia HomeSite, and Robocopy.
2581 o Corrupt workgroup names in nmbd's browse.dat.
2582 o Sharing violation errors commonly seen when opening
2583 when serving Microsoft Office documents from a Samba
2585 o Browsing problems caused by an apostrophe (') in the
2586 computer's description field.
2587 o Problems creating special file types from UNIX CIFS
2588 clients and enabling 'unix extensions'.
2589 o Fix stalls in smbd caused by inaccessible LDAP servers.
2590 o Remove various memory leaks.
2591 o Fix issues in the password lockout feature.
2593 New features introduced in this release include:
2595 O Support symlinks created by CIFS clients which
2596 can be followed on the server.
2597 o Using a cups server other than localhost.
2598 o Maintaining the service principal entry in the system
2599 keytab for integration with other kerberized services.
2600 Please refer to the 'use kerberos keytab' entry in
2601 smb.conf(5). When using the heimdal kerberos libraries,
2602 you must also specify the following in /etc/krb5.conf:
2604 default_keytab_name = FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab
2605 o Support for maintaining individual printer names
2606 stored separately from the printer's sharename.
2607 o Support for maintaining user password history.
2608 o Support for honoring the logon times for user in a
2612 ============================================
2613 unix extensions = yes (default) and symlinks
2614 ============================================
2616 Beginning with Samba 3.0.6pre1 (formerly known as 3.0.5pre1),
2617 clients supporting the UNIX extensions to the CIFS protocol
2618 can create symlinks to absolute paths which will be **followed**
2619 by the server. This functionality has been requested in order
2620 to correctly support certain applications when the user's home
2621 directory is mounted using some type of CIFS client (e.g. the
2622 cifsvfs in the Linux 2.6 kernel).
2624 If this behavior is not acceptable for your production environment
2625 you can set 'wide links = no' in the specific share declaration in
2626 the server's smb.conf. Be aware that disabling wide link support
2627 out of a share in Samba may impact the server's performance due
2628 to the fact that smbd will now have to check each path additional
2629 times before traversing it.
2632 ========================
2633 Password History Support
2634 ========================
2636 The new password history feature allows smbd to check the new
2637 password in password change requests against a list of the user's
2638 previous passwords. The number of previous passwords to save can
2639 be set using pdbedit (4 in this example):
2641 root# pdbedit -P "password history" -C 4
2643 When using the ldapsam passdb backend, it is vital to secure the
2644 following attributes from access by non-administrative users:
2648 * sambaPasswordHistory
2650 You should refer to your directory server's documentation on how
2651 to implement this restriction.

3067 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.5
3069 =============================
3071 Please note that Samba 3.0.5 is identical to Samba 3.0.4 with
3072 the exception of correcting the two security issues outlined
3075 ######################## SECURITY RELEASE ########################
3077 Summary: Multiple Potential Buffer Overruns in Samba 3.0.x
3078 CVE ID: CAN-2004-0600, CAN-2004-0686
3079 (http://cve.mitre.org/)
3082 This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version
3083 that production Samba servers should be running for all current
3086 It has been confirmed that versions of Samba 3 prior to v3.0.4
3087 are vulnerable to two potential buffer overruns. The individual
3088 details are given below.
3094 Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.2 and later
3096 The internal routine used by the Samba Web Administration
3097 Tool (SWAT v3.0.2 and later) to decode the base64 data
3098 during HTTP basic authentication is subject to a buffer
3099 overrun caused by an invalid base64 character. It is
3100 recommended that all Samba v3.0.2 or later installations
3101 running SWAT either (a) upgrade to v3.0.5, or (b) disable
3102 the swat administration service as a temporary workaround.
3104 This same code is used internally to decode the
3105 sambaMungedDial attribute value when using the ldapsam
3106 passdb backend. While we do not believe that the base64
3107 decoding routines used by the ldapsam passdb backend can
3108 be exploited, sites using an LDAP directory service with
3109 Samba are strongly encouraged to verify that the DIT only
3110 allows write access to sambaSamAccount attributes by a
3111 sufficiently authorized user.
3113 The Samba Team would like to heartily thank Evgeny Demidov
3114 for analyzing and reporting this bug.
3120 Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.0 and later
3122 A buffer overrun has been located in the code used to support
3123 the 'mangling method = hash' smb.conf option. Please be aware
3124 that the default setting for this parameter is 'mangling method
3125 = hash2' and therefore not vulnerable.
3127 Affected Samba 3 installations can avoid this possible security
3128 bug by using the default hash2 mangling method. Server
3129 installations requiring the hash mangling method are encouraged
3130 to upgrade to Samba 3.0.5.

3703 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2a
3705 ==============================
3707 Samba 3.0.2a is a minor patch release for the 3.0.2 code base
3708 to address, in particular, a problem when using pdbedit to
3709 sanitize (--force-initialized-passwords) Samba's tdbsam
3710 backend. This is the latest stable release of Samba. This
3711 is the version that all production Samba servers should be
3712 running for all current bug-fixes.
3714 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
3716 Beginning with Samba 3.0.2, passwords for accounts with a last
3717 change time (LCT-XXX in smbpasswd, sambaPwdLastSet attribute in
3718 ldapsam, etc...) of zero (0) will be regarded as uninitialized
3719 strings. This will cause authentication to fail for such
3720 accounts. If you have valid passwords that meet this criteria,
3721 you must update the last change time to a non-zero value. If you
3722 do not, then 'pdbedit --force-initialized-passwords' will disable
3723 these accounts and reset the password hashes to a string of X's.

3777 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2
3779 =============================
3781 It has been confirmed that previous versions of Samba 3.0 are
3782 susceptible to a password initialization bug that could grant an
3783 attacker unauthorized access to a user account created by the
3784 mksmbpasswd.sh shell script.
3786 The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
3787 has assigned the name CAN-2004-0082 to this issue.
3789 Samba administrators not wishing to upgrade to the current
3790 version should download the 3.0.2 release, build the pdbedit
3793 root# pdbedit-3.0.2 --force-initialized-passwords
3795 This will disable all accounts not possessing a valid password
3796 (e.g. the password field has been set a string of X's).
3798 Samba servers running 3.0.2 are not vulnerable to this bug
3799 regardless of whether or not pdbedit has been used to sanitize
3802 Some of the more visible bugs in 3.0.1 addressed in the 3.0.2
3805 o Joining a Samba domain from Pre-SP2 Windows 2000 clients.
3806 o Logging onto a Samba domain from Windows XP clients.
3807 o Problems with the %U and %u smb.conf variables in relation to
3808 Windows 9x/ME clients.
3809 o Kerberos failures due to an invalid in memory keytab detection
3811 o Updates to the ntlm_auth tool.
3812 o Fixes for various SMB signing errors.
3813 o Better separation of WINS and DNS queries for domain controllers.
3814 o Issues with nss_winbind FreeBSD and Solaris.
3815 o Several crash bugs in smbd and winbindd.
3816 o Output formatting fixes for smbclient for better compatibility
3817 with scripts based on the 2.2 version.

4295 o Adds a variant of the winbindd_getgroups() call called
4296 winbindd_getusersids() that provides direct SID->SIDs listing of
4297 a users supplementary groups. This is enough to allow non-Samba
4298 applications to do ACL checking.
4299 o Make sure we don't append the 'ldap suffix' when writing out the
4300 'ldap XXX suffix' values in SWAT (bug 328).
4301 o Fix renames across file systems.
4302 o Ensure that items in a list of strings containing whitespace are
4303 written out surrounded by single quotes. This means that both
4304 double and single quotes are now used to surround strings in
4306 o Enable SWAT to correctly determine if winbindd is running (bug
4308 o Include WWW-Authenticate field in 401 response for bad auth
4310 o Add support for NTLM2 (NTLMv2 session security).
4311 o Add support for variable-length session keys.
4312 o More privilege fixes for group enumeration in LDAP (bug 281).
4313 o Use the dns name (or IP) as the originating client name when
4314 using CUPS (bug 467).
4315 o Fix various SMB signing bugs.
4316 o Fix ACL propagation on a DFS root (bug 263).
4317 o Disable NTLM2 for RPC pipes.
4318 o Allow the client to specify the NTLM2 flags got NTLMSSP
4320 o Change the name of the job passed off to cups from "Test Page"
4321 to "smbprn.00000033 Test Page" so that we can get the smb
4322 jobid back. This allow users to delete jobs with cups printing
4323 backend (partial work on bug 770).
4324 o Fix build of winbindd with static pdb modules.
4325 o Retrieve the correct ACL group bits if the file has an ACL
4327 o Implement "net rpc group members": Get members of a domain group
4328 in human-readable format.
4329 o Add MacOSX (Darwin) specific charset module code.
4330 o Use samr_dispinfo(level == 1) for enumerating domain users so we
4331 can include the full name in gecos field (bug 587).
4332 o Add support for winbind's NSS library on FeeeBSD 5.1 (bug 797).
4333 o Implement 'net rpc group list [global|local|builtin]*' for a
4334 select listing of the respective user databases.
4335 o Don't automatically set NT status code flag unless client tells
4337 o Add 'net status [sessions|shares] [parseable]'.
4338 o Don't mistake pre-existing UNIX jobs for smb jobs (remainder of

4348 this call whether we have a complete PDU or not; fixes bug
4349 with multiple PDU request rpc's broken over SMBwriteX calls
4351 o Fix incorrect smb flags2 for connections to pre-NT servers
4352 (causes smbclient to fail to OS2 for example) (bug 821).
4353 o Update version string in smbldap-tools Makefile to 0.8.2.
4354 o Correct a problem with "net rpc vampire" mis-parsing the
4355 alias member info reply.
4356 o Ensure the ${libdir} is created by the installclientlib script.
4357 o Fix detection of Windows 2003 client architecture in the smb.conf

4389 The original 3.0.0 release notes follow
4390 =======================================
4391 WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.0
4393 =======================================
4399 1) Active Directory support. Samba 3.0 is now able to
4400 join a ADS realm as a member server and authenticate
4401 users using LDAP/Kerberos.
4403 2) Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate UNICODE on the wire
4404 and internally there is now a much better infrastructure for
4405 multi-byte and UNICODE character sets.
4407 3) New authentication system. The internal authentication system
4408 has been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are
4409 internal, but the new auth system is also very configurable.
4411 4) New default filename mangling system.
4413 5) A new "net" command has been added. It is somewhat similar to
4414 the "net" command in windows. Eventually we plan to replace
4415 numerous other utilities (such as smbpasswd) with subcommands
4418 6) Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
4419 improves error handling a lot.
4421 7) Better Windows 2000/XP/2003 printing support including publishing
4422 printer attributes in active directory.
4424 8) New loadable module support for passdb backends and character
4427 9) New default dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance.
4429 10) Support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Samba
4430 domain and maintaining user, group and domain SIDs.
4432 11) Support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
4435 12) Initial support for a distributed Winbind architecture using
4436 an LDAP directory for storing SID to uid/gid mappings.
4438 13) Major updates to the Samba documentation tree.
4440 14) Full support for client and server SMB signing to ensure
4441 compatibility with default Windows 2003 security settings.
4443 15) Improvement of ACL mapping features based on code donated by
4444 Andreas Grünbacher.
4447 Plus lots of other improvements!
4450 Additional Documentation
4451 ------------------------
4453 Please refer to Samba documentation tree (included in the docs/
4454 subdirectory) for extensive explanations of installing, configuring
4455 and maintaining Samba 3.0 servers and clients. It is advised to
4456 begin with the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for overviews and specific
4457 tasks (the current book is up to approximately 400 pages) and to
4458 refer to the various man pages for information on individual options.
4460 We are very glad to be able to include the second edition of
4461 "Using Samba" by Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown
4462 (O'Reilly & Associates) in this release. The book is available
4463 on-line at http://samba.org/samba/docs/ and is included with
4464 the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). Thanks to the authors and
4465 publisher for making "Using Samba" under the GNU Free Documentation
4469 ######################################################################
4470 Upgrading from a previous Samba 3.0 beta
4471 ########################################
4473 Beginning with Samba 3.0.0beta3, the RID allocation functions
4474 have been moved into winbindd. Previously these were handled
4475 by each passdb backend. This means that winbindd must be running
4476 to automatically allocate RIDs for users and/or groups. Otherwise,
4477 smbd will use the 2.2 algorithm for generating new RIDs.
4479 If you are using 'passdb backend = tdbsam' with a previous Samba
4480 3.0 beta release (or possibly alpha), it may be necessary to
4481 move the RID_COUNTER entry from /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
4482 to winbindd_idmap.tdb. To do this:
4484 1) Ensure that winbindd_idmap.tdb exists (launch winbindd at least
4486 2) build tdbtool by executing 'make tdbtool' in the source/tdb/
4488 3) run: (note that 'tdb>' is the tool's prompt for input)
4490 root# ./tdbtool /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
4491 tdb> show RID_COUNTER
4495 [000] 0A 52 00 00 .R.
4497 tdb> move RID_COUNTER /usr/local/samba/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb
4501 If you are using 'passdb backend = ldapsam', it will be necessary to
4502 store idmap entries in the LDAP directory as well (i.e. idmap backend
4503 = ldap). Refer to the 'net idmap' command for more information on
4504 migrating SID<->UNIX id mappings from one backend to another.
4506 If the RID_COUNTER record does not exist, then these instructions are
4507 unneccessary and the new RID_COUNTER record will be correctly generated

4687 This section contains brief descriptions of any new databases
4688 introduced in Samba 3.0. Please remember to backup your existing
4689 ${lock directory}/*tdb before upgrading to Samba 3.0. Samba will
4690 upgrade databases as they are opened (if necessary), but downgrading
4691 from 3.0 to 2.2 is an unsupported path.
4693 Name Description Backup?
4694 ---- ----------- -------
4695 account_policy User policy settings yes
4696 gencache Generic caching db no
4697 group_mapping Mapping table from Windows yes
4698 groups/SID to unix groups
4699 winbindd_idmap ID map table from SIDS to UNIX yes
4701 namecache Name resolution cache entries no

4706 command' created on a per print
4708 registry Read-only samba registry skeleton no
4709 that provides support for exporting
4710 various db tables via the winreg RPCs
4716 The following issues are known changes in behavior between Samba 2.2 and
4717 Samba 3.0 that may affect certain installations of Samba.
4719 1) When operating as a member of a Windows domain, Samba 2.2 would
4720 map any users authenticated by the remote DC to the 'guest account'
4721 if a uid could not be obtained via the getpwnam() call. Samba 3.0
4722 rejects the connection as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. There is no
4723 current work around to re-establish the 2.2 behavior.
4725 2) When adding machines to a Samba 2.2 controlled domain, the
4726 'add user script' was used to create the UNIX identity of the
4727 machine trust account. Samba 3.0 introduces a new 'add machine
4728 script' that must be specified for this purpose. Samba 3.0 will
4729 not fall back to using the 'add user script' in the absence of
4730 an 'add machine script'
4733 ######################################################################
4734 Passdb Backends and Authentication
4735 ##################################
4737 There have been a few new changes that Samba administrators should be
4738 aware of when moving to Samba 3.0.
4740 1) encrypted passwords have been enabled by default in order to
4741 inter-operate better with out-of-the-box Windows client
4742 installations. This does mean that either (a) a samba account
4743 must be created for each user, or (b) 'encrypt passwords = no'
4744 must be explicitly defined in smb.conf.
4746 2) Inclusion of new 'security = ads' option for integration
4747 with an Active Directory domain using the native Windows
4748 Kerberos 5 and LDAP protocols.
4750 MIT kerberos 1.3.1 supports the ARCFOUR-HMAC-MD5 encryption
4751 type which is neccessary for servers on which the
4752 administrator password has not been changed, or kerberos-enabled
4753 SMB connections to servers that require Kerberos SMB signing.
4754 Besides this one difference, either MIT or Heimdal Kerberos
4755 distributions are usable by Samba 3.0.
4758 Samba 3.0 also includes the possibility of setting up chains
4759 of authentication methods (auth methods) and account storage
4760 backends (passdb backend). Please refer to the smb.conf(5)
4761 man page for details. While both parameters assume sane default
4762 values, it is likely that you will need to understand what the
4763 values actually mean in order to ensure Samba operates correctly.
4765 The recommended passdb backends at this time are
4767 * smbpasswd - 2.2 compatible flat file format
4768 * tdbsam - attribute rich database intended as an smbpasswd
4769 replacement for stand alone servers
4770 * ldapsam - attribute rich account storage and retrieval
4771 backend utilizing an LDAP directory.
4772 * ldapsam_compat - a 2.2 backward compatible LDAP account
4775 Certain functions of the smbpasswd(8) tool have been split between the
4776 new smbpasswd(8) utility, the net(8) tool, and the new pdbedit(8)
4777 utility. See the respective man pages for details.
4780 ######################################################################
4784 This section outlines the new features affecting Samba / LDAP
4790 A new object class (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace
4791 the old sambaAccount. This change aids us in the renaming of
4792 attributes to prevent clashes with attributes from other vendors.
4793 There is a conversion script (examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to
4794 modify and LDIF file to the new schema.
4798 $ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." > sambaAcct.ldif
4799 $ convertSambaAccount --sid=<Domain SID> \
4800 --input=sambaAcct.ldif --output=sambaSamAcct.ldif \
4801 --changetype=[modify|add]
4803 The <DOM SID> can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid
4804 <DOMAINNAME>' on the Samba PDC as root. The changetype determines
4805 the format of the generated LDIF output--either create new entries
4806 or modify existing entries.
4808 The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
4809 "ldapsam_compat" passdb backend. However, the sambaAccount and
4810 associated attributes have been moved to the historical section of
4811 the schema file and must be uncommented before use if needed.
4812 The 2.2 object class declaration for a sambaAccount has not changed
4813 in the 3.0 samba.schema file.
4815 Other new object classes and their uses include:
4817 * sambaDomain - domain information used to allocate rids
4818 for users and groups as necessary. The attributes are added
4819 in 'ldap suffix' directory entry automatically if
4820 an idmap uid/gid range has been set and the 'ldapsam'
4821 passdb backend has been selected.
4823 * sambaGroupMapping - an object representing the
4824 relationship between a posixGroup and a Windows
4825 group/SID. These entries are stored in the 'ldap
4826 group suffix' and managed by the 'net groupmap' command.
4828 * sambaUnixIdPool - created in the 'ldap idmap suffix' entry
4829 automatically and contains the next available 'idmap uid' and
4832 * sambaIdmapEntry - object storing a mapping between a
4833 SID and a UNIX uid/gid. These objects are created by the
4834 idmap_ldap module as needed.
4836 * sambaSidEntry - object representing a SID alone, as a Structural
4837 class on which to build the sambaIdmapEntry.
4840 New Suffix for Searching
4841 ------------------------
4843 The following new smb.conf parameters have been added to aid in directing
4844 certain LDAP queries when 'passdb backend = ldapsam://...' has been
4847 * ldap suffix - used to search for user and computer accounts
4848 * ldap user suffix - used to store user accounts
4849 * ldap machine suffix - used to store machine trust accounts
4850 * ldap group suffix - location of posixGroup/sambaGroupMapping entries
4851 * ldap idmap suffix - location of sambaIdmapEntry objects
4853 If an 'ldap suffix' is defined, it will be appended to all of the
4854 remaining sub-suffix parameters. In this case, the order of the suffix
4855 listings in smb.conf is important. Always place the 'ldap suffix' first
4858 Due to a limitation in Samba's smb.conf parsing, you should not surround
4859 the DN's with quotation marks.
4865 Samba 3.0 supports an ldap backend for the idmap subsystem. The
4866 following options would inform Samba that the idmap table should be
4867 stored on the directory server onterose in the "ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,
4872 idmap backend = ldap:ldap://onterose/
4873 ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,dc=org
4874 idmap uid = 40000-50000
4875 idmap gid = 40000-50000
4877 This configuration allows winbind installations on multiple servers to
4878 share a uid/gid number space, thus avoiding the interoperability problems
4879 with NFS that were present in Samba 2.2.
4883 ######################################################################
4884 Trust Relationships and a Samba Domain
4885 ######################################
4887 Samba 3.0.0beta2 is able to utilize winbindd as the means of
4888 allocating uids and gids to trusted users and groups. More
4889 information regarding Samba's support for establishing trust
4890 relationships can be found in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection included
4891 in the docs/ directory of this release.
4893 First create your Samba PDC and ensure that everything is
4894 working correctly before moving on the trusts.
4896 To establish Samba as the trusting domain (named SAMBA) from a Windows NT
4897 4.0 domain named WINDOWS:
4899 1) create the trust account for SAMBA in "User Manager for Domains"
4900 2) connect the trust from the Samba domain using
4901 'net rpc trustdom establish GLASS'
4903 To create a trustlationship with SAMBA as the trusted domain:
4905 1) create the initial trust account for GLASS using
4906 'smbpasswd -a -i GLASS'. You may need to create a UNIX
4907 account for GLASS$ prior to this step (depending on your
4908 local configuration).
4909 2) connect the trust from a WINDOWS DC using "User Manager
4912 Now join winbindd on the Samba PDC to the SAMBA domain using
4913 the normal steps for adding a Samba server to an NT4 domain:
4914 (note that smbd & nmbd must be running at this point)
4916 root# net rpc join -U root
4917 Password: <enter root password from smbpasswd file here>
4919 Start winbindd and test the join with 'wbinfo -t'.
4921 Now test the trust relationship by connecting to the SAMBA DC
4922 (e.g. POGO) as a user from the WINDOWS domain:
4924 $ smbclient //pogo/netlogon -U Administrator -W WINDOWS
4927 Now connect to the WINDOWS DC (e.g. CRYSTAL) as a Samba user:
4929 $ smbclient //crystal/netlogon -U root -W WINDOWS
4932 ######################################################################
4936 Beginning with Samba3.0.0beta3, winbindd has been given new account
4937 manage functionality equivalent to the 'add user script' family of
4938 smb.conf parameters. The idmap design has also been changed to
4939 centralize control of foreign SID lookups and matching to UNIX
4943 Brief Description of Changes
4944 ----------------------------
4946 1) The sid_to_uid() family of functions (smbd/uid.c) have been
4947 reverted to the 2.2.x design. This means that when resolving a
4948 SID to a UID or similar mapping:
4950 a) First consult winbindd
4951 b) perform a local lookup only if winbindd fails to
4952 return a successful answer
4954 There are some variations to this, but these two rules generally
4957 2) All idmap lookups have been moved into winbindd. This means that
4958 a server must run winbindd (and support NSS) in order to achieve
4959 any mappings of SID to dynamically allocated UNIX ids. This was
4960 a conscious design choice.
4962 3) (OBSOLETE) New functions have been added to winbindd to emulate
4963 the 'add user script' family of smbd functions without requiring
4964 that external scripts be defined. This functionality is controlled
4965 by the 'winbind enable local accounts' smb.conf parameter (enabled
4968 However, this account management functionality is only supported
4969 in a local tdb (winbindd_idmap.tdb). If these new UNIX accounts
4970 must be shared among multiple Samba servers (such as a PDC and BDCs),
4971 it will be necessary to define your own 'add user script', et. al.
4972 programs that place the accounts/groups in some form of directory
4973 such as NIS or LDAP. This requirement was deemed beyond the scope
4974 of winbind's account management functions. Solutions for
4975 distributing UNIX system information have been deployed and tested
4976 for many years. We saw no need to reinvent the wheel.
4978 4) A member of a Samba controlled domain running winbindd is now able
4979 to map domain users directly onto existing UNIX accounts while still
4980 automatically creating accounts for trusted users and groups. This
4981 behavior is controlled by the 'winbind trusted domains only' smb.conf
4982 parameter (disabled by default to provide 2.2.x winbind behavior).
4984 5) Group mapping support is wrapped in the local_XX_to_XX() functions
4985 in smbd/uid.c. The reason that group mappings are not included
4986 in winbindd is because the purpose of Samba's group map is to
4987 match any Windows SID with an existing UNIX group. These UNIX
4988 groups can be created by winbindd (see next section), but the
4989 SID<->gid mapping is retreived by smbd, not winbindd.
4995 * security = server running winbindd to allocate accounts on demand
4997 * Samba PDC running winbindd to handle the automatic creation of UNIX
4998 identities for machine trust accounts
5000 * Automtically creating UNIX user and groups when migrating a Windows NT
