2 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.8pre2
3 Oct 25, 2004
4 =================================
6 This is a preview release of the Samba 3.0.8 code base.
7 It is *not* intended for production use but rather is
8 provided to allow people to test the bug fixes and new
9 features in the upcoming 3.0.8 release. Use at your own
10 risk.
12 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.8pre2 include:
14 o Several bugs in the spoolss printing code.
15 o Inconsistencies in the username map functionality
16 when configured on domain member servers.
17 o Various compile warnings and errors on various platforms.
19 New features included in the 3.0.8pre1 release are:
21 o New experimental idmap backend for assigning uids/gids
22 directly based on the user/group RID when acting as a
23 member of single domain without any trusts.
24 o Additional printer migration support for XP/2003 platforms.
27 Change in Username Map
28 ----------------------
30 Previous Samba releases would only support reading the fully
31 qualified username (e.g. DOMAIN\user) when performing a kerberos
32 login from a 200x/XP client. However, when looking up a map entry
33 for a user authenticated by NTLM[SSP], only the login name would be
34 used for matches. This resulted in inconsistent behavior sometimes
35 even on the same server.
37 Samba 3.0.8pre2 obeys the following rules when applying the username
38 map functionality.
40 * When performing local authentication, the username map is
41 applied to the login name before attempting to authenticate
42 the connection.
43 * When relying upon a external domain controller for validating
44 authentication requests, smbd will apply the username map
45 to the fully qualified username (i.e. DOMAIN\user) only
46 after the user has been successfully authenticated.

250 Changes for older versions follow below:
252 --------------------------------------------------
253 =================================
254 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.8pre1
255 Sept 24, 2004
256 =================================
258 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.8pre1 include:
260 o Compile fixes for HP-UX
261 o Fixes for the printer publishing code used when
262 joined to an AD domain.
263 o Incompatibilities with file system quotas.
265 New features included in the 3.0.8pre1 release are:
267 o New migration functionality added the the net tool
268 for files/directories, printers, and shares.
271 Change in Winbindd Behavior
272 ---------------------------
274 All usernames returned by winbindd are now converted to lower
275 case for better consistency. This means any winbind installation
276 relying on the winbind username will need to rename existing
277 directories and/or files based on the username (%u and %U) to lower
278 case (e.g. mv $name `echo $name | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`). This may
279 include mail spool files, home directories, valid user lines in
280 smb.conf, etc....
282 Changes since 3.0.7
283 -------------------
285 commits
286 -------
287 o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
288 * Ensure extended security bit is on only if we negotiated
289 extended security.
290 * Simplify statcache to use an in-memory tdb.
291 * If you're selecting a hash algorithm for tdb, you need
292 to do it at open time.
293 * Removed old dir caching code - not being used now we
294 have the statcache anyway.
295 * Simplify the mangle hash code to use an in-memory tdb.
296 * Merge iconv changes from Samba 4 branch.
297 * Fix parsing of names ending in dot and a few other error
298 returns.

300 error exits.
301 * Fixes for smbclient tar functionality.
302 * BUG 1743: Fix logic bug the deferred open code.
303 * Don't try to set security descriptors on shares where

305 * Return correct error codes on old SEARCH call.
308 o Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org>
309 * Avoid changing the machine account password in the passdb
310 backend, when it has 'already been changed'. This occurs
311 in situations where the secure channel between the workstation
312 and the DC breaks down, such as occurred in the MS04-11
313 security patch.
314 * Fix utility name in error message in ntlm_auth.
317 o Igor Belyi <sambauser@katehok.ac93.org>
318 * Ensure pdb user is deleted first before deleting UNIX
319 user (LDAP backend needs this ordering).
322 o Cornelio Bondad Jr <Corny.Bondad@hp.com>
323 * Fix core dump in 'net rpc vampire'.
326 o Vince Brimhall <vbrimhall@novell.com>
327 * Make ldapsam_compat robust against NULL attributes.
330 o Gerald Carter <jerry@samba.org>

332 by NGROUPS_MAX.
335 o Sean Chandler <sean.chandler@verizon.net>
336 * Fix memlieak in cliconnect.c.
339 o Guenther Deschner <gd@samba.org>

342 the net command.
343 * Show correct help for net groupmap commands.
344 * Fix deadlock loop in winbind's required_membership_sid
345 verification.
346 * Bring the same level of "required_membership"-functionality
347 that ntlm_auth uses, to pam_winbindd as well.
348 * Prevent "net lookup kdc" from seg-faulting when
349 using our own implementation of krb5_lookup_kdc with
350 heimdal.
351 * Adding getprinter level 7 to rpcclient.
352 * Support migrating printers|shares|files from Server A
353 to Server B while running the net-command on client C.
354 * Fixed krb5_krbhost_get_addrinfo()-parameters and make
355 failure of this call non-critical (Thanks to Love @ Heimdal
356 for the explanation and patch).

360 * Fix typos in pam_winbind log messages and SuSE
361 packaging files.
364 o Rob Foehl <rwf@loonybin.net>
365 * Typo fixes for log messages in printer publishing code.

369 at startup.
370 * Cleanup up the XXX_a_printer() API for consistency.
371 * Refactored the printer publishing code and include better
372 error handling.
375 o Chris Hertel <crh@samba.org>
376 * Fix logic bug in splay tree data structure when finding
377 a leaf node.
380 o Guenter Kukkukk <guenter.kukkukk@kukkukk.com>
381 * BUG 1590: Fix for talking to OS/2 clients (max_mux ignored).
384 o Volker Lendecke <vl@samba.org>
385 * Robustnss fix for winbindd when sending multiple requests
386 at a high rate for a slow operation.
387 * Solve the problem of user sids ending up with gid's
388 and vice versa.
389 * Use sys_fork instead of fork for the dual daemon so that
390 we get the correct debug pid in the logfiles.
391 * Based on patch from jmcd, implement special lists for the LDAP
392 user attributes to delete.
393 * Fix creation of aliases via usrmgr. Winbind was too strict
394 checking the type of sids.
395 * Lowercase all usernames returned by winbind.
398 o Jim McDonough <jmcd@us.ibm.com>
399 * Allow 'net ads lookup' to rely on command line arguments
400 if contacting an ADS server fails; utilize cldap for lookups.
401 * Fixup formatting errors in TDB_LOG calls; add printf attribute
402 support to tdb log functions.
405 o Lars Mueller <lmuelle@suse.de>

423 * BUG 1360: (correct fix) Use -Wl when passing flags to
424 the linker.
425 * HP-UX compile fixes (from JBravo on #samba-technical).
426 * BUG 1731: More HP-UX compiles fixes.
427 * BUG 1778: Include yp_prot.h before ypclnt.h as AIX 5.2
428 spits the dummy otherwise.
431 o Richard Renard <rrenard@idealx.com>
432 * Fix usermgr.exe and trust relationships.
435 o Paul Szabo <psz@maths.usyd.edu.au>
436 * Fix to make find_workgroup use the same
437 truncation as create_workgroup.
440 o Simo Sorce <idra@samba.org>
441 * Added check password script code in examples/auth/crackcheck/
444 o Andrew Tridgell <tridge@samba.org>
445 * Remove lp_use_mmap() from map_file() since the latter
446 is for read only and does not require coherence.

646 keytab for integration with other kerberized services.
647 Please refer to the 'use kerberos keytab' entry in
648 smb.conf(5). When using the heimdal kerberos libraries,
649 you must also specify the following in /etc/krb5.conf:
650 [libdefaults]
651 default_keytab_name = FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab
652 o Support for maintaining individual printer names
653 stored separately from the printer's sharename.
654 o Support for maintaining user password history.
655 o Support for honoring the logon times for user in a
656 Samba domain.
658 --------------------------------------------
659 unix extensions = yes (default) and symlinks
660 --------------------------------------------
662 Beginning with Samba 3.0.6pre1 (formerly known as 3.0.5pre1),
663 clients supporting the UNIX extensions to the CIFS protocol
664 can create symlinks to absolute paths which will be **followed**
665 by the server. This functionality has been requested in order
666 to correctly support certain applications when the user's home
667 directory is mounted using some type of CIFS client (e.g. the
668 cifsvfs in the Linux 2.6 kernel).
670 If this behavior is not acceptable for your production environment
671 you can set 'wide links = no' in the specific share declaration in
672 the server's smb.conf. Be aware that disabling wide link support
673 out of a share in Samba may impact the server's performance due
674 to the fact that smbd will now have to check each path additional
675 times before traversing it.
677 ------------------------
678 Password History Support
679 ------------------------
681 The new password history feature allows smbd to check the new
682 password in password change requests against a list of the user's
683 previous passwords. The number of previous passwords to save can
684 be set using pdbedit (4 in this example):
686 root# pdbedit -P "password history" -C 4
688 When using the ldapsam passdb backend, it is vital to secure the
689 following attributes from access by non-administrative users:
691 * sambaNTPassword
692 * sambaLMPassword
693 * sambaPasswordHistory
695 You should refer to your directory server's documentation on how
696 to implement this restriction.

953 which they connected in the case of a multi-homed host. Only
954 affects strings the spoolss printing replies.
955 * Fix the bad password lockout. This has not worked as pdb_ldap.c
956 did not ask for the modifyTimestamp attribute, so it could
957 not find it. Try not to regress by not putting that attrib
958 in the main list but append it manually for the relevant searches.
959 * Fix two memleaks in login_cache.c.
960 * fixes memory bloat when unmarshalling strings.

1113 =============================
1114 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.5
1115 July 20, 2004
1116 =============================
1118 Please note that Samba 3.0.5 is identical to Samba 3.0.4 with
1119 the exception of correcting the two security issues outlined
1120 below.
1122 ######################## SECURITY RELEASE ########################
1124 Summary: Multiple Potential Buffer Overruns in Samba 3.0.x
1125 CVE ID: CAN-2004-0600, CAN-2004-0686
1126 (http://cve.mitre.org/)
1129 This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version
1130 that production Samba servers should be running for all current
1131 bug-fixes.
1133 It has been confirmed that versions of Samba 3 prior to v3.0.4
1134 are vulnerable to two potential buffer overruns. The individual
1135 details are given below.
1137 -------------
1138 CAN-2004-0600
1139 -------------
1141 Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.2 and later
1143 The internal routine used by the Samba Web Administration
1144 Tool (SWAT v3.0.2 and later) to decode the base64 data
1145 during HTTP basic authentication is subject to a buffer
1146 overrun caused by an invalid base64 character. It is
1147 recommended that all Samba v3.0.2 or later installations
1148 running SWAT either (a) upgrade to v3.0.5, or (b) disable
1149 the swat administration service as a temporary workaround.
1151 This same code is used internally to decode the
1152 sambaMungedDial attribute value when using the ldapsam
1153 passdb backend. While we do not believe that the base64
1154 decoding routines used by the ldapsam passdb backend can
1155 be exploited, sites using an LDAP directory service with
1156 Samba are strongly encouraged to verify that the DIT only
1157 allows write access to sambaSamAccount attributes by a
1158 sufficiently authorized user.
1160 The Samba Team would like to heartily thank Evgeny Demidov
1161 for analyzing and reporting this bug.
1163 -------------
1164 CAN-2004-0686
1165 -------------
1167 Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.0 and later
1169 A buffer overrun has been located in the code used to support
1170 the 'mangling method = hash' smb.conf option. Please be aware
1171 that the default setting for this parameter is 'mangling method
1172 = hash2' and therefore not vulnerable.
1174 Affected Samba 3 installations can avoid this possible security
1175 bug by using the default hash2 mangling method. Server
1176 installations requiring the hash mangling method are encouraged
1177 to upgrade to Samba 3.0.5.
1180 ##################################################################
1182 --------------------------------------------------
1184 =============================
1185 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.4
1186 May 8, 2004
1187 =============================
1189 Common bugs fixed in Samba 3.0.4 include:
1191 o Password changing after applying the patch described in
1192 the Microsoft KB828741 article to Windows clients.
1193 o Crashes in smbd.
1194 o Managing print jobs via Windows on Big-Endian servers.
1195 o Several memory leaks in winbindd and smbd.
1196 o Compile issues on AIX and *BSD.

1752 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2a
1753 February 13, 2004
1754 ==============================
1756 Samba 3.0.2a is a minor patch release for the 3.0.2 code base
1757 to address, in particular, a problem when using pdbedit to
1758 sanitize (--force-initialized-passwords) Samba's tdbsam
1759 backend. This is the latest stable release of Samba. This
1760 is the version that all production Samba servers should be
1761 running for all current bug-fixes.
1763 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
1765 Beginning with Samba 3.0.2, passwords for accounts with a last
1766 change time (LCT-XXX in smbpasswd, sambaPwdLastSet attribute in
1767 ldapsam, etc...) of zero (0) will be regarded as uninitialized
1768 strings. This will cause authentication to fail for such
1769 accounts. If you have valid passwords that meet this criteria,
1770 you must update the last change time to a non-zero value. If you
1771 do not, then 'pdbedit --force-initialized-passwords' will disable
1772 these accounts and reset the password hashes to a string of X's.
1774 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************

1826 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2
1827 February 9, 2004
1828 =============================
1830 It has been confirmed that previous versions of Samba 3.0 are
1831 susceptible to a password initialization bug that could grant an
1832 attacker unauthorized access to a user account created by the
1833 mksmbpasswd.sh shell script.
1835 The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
1836 has assigned the name CAN-2004-0082 to this issue.
1838 Samba administrators not wishing to upgrade to the current
1839 version should download the 3.0.2 release, build the pdbedit
1840 tool, and run
1842 root# pdbedit-3.0.2 --force-initialized-passwords
1844 This will disable all accounts not possessing a valid password
1845 (e.g. the password field has been set a string of X's).
1847 Samba servers running 3.0.2 are not vulnerable to this bug
1848 regardless of whether or not pdbedit has been used to sanitize
1849 the passdb backend.
1851 Some of the more visible bugs in 3.0.1 addressed in the 3.0.2
1852 release include:
1854 o Joining a Samba domain from Pre-SP2 Windows 2000 clients.
1855 o Logging onto a Samba domain from Windows XP clients.
1856 o Problems with the %U and %u smb.conf variables in relation to
1857 Windows 9x/ME clients.
1858 o Kerberos failures due to an invalid in memory keytab detection
1859 test.
1860 o Updates to the ntlm_auth tool.
1861 o Fixes for various SMB signing errors.
1862 o Better separation of WINS and DNS queries for domain controllers.
1863 o Issues with nss_winbind FreeBSD and Solaris.
1864 o Several crash bugs in smbd and winbindd.
1865 o Output formatting fixes for smbclient for better compatibility
1866 with scripts based on the 2.2 version.

2304 the local IP address to which a client connected.
2305 o Allow winbindd to match local accounts to domain SID when
2306 'winbind trusted domains only = yes' (bug 680).

2311 Thanks to Gaz de France, Direction de la Recherche, Service
2312 Informatique Métier for their supporting this work by Aurelien

2320 we add -liconv etc to LDFLAGS.
2321 o Fix core dump bug when "security = server" and the authentication
2322 server goes away.
2323 o Correct crash bug due to an empty munged dial string.
2324 o Show files locked by a specific user (smbstatus -u 'user')
2325 (bug 590).
2326 o Fix bug preventing print jobs from display in the queue
2327 monitor used by Windows NT and later clients (bug 660).
2328 o Fix several reported problems with point-n-print from
2329 Windows 2000/XP clients due to a bug in the EnumPrinterDataEx()
2330 reply (bug 338, 527 & 643).
2331 o Fix a handful of potential memory leaks in the LDAP code used
2332 by ldapsam[_compat] and the LDAP idmap backend.
2333 o Fix for pdbedit error code returns (bug 763).
2334 o Make sure we only enumerate group mapping entries (not
2335 /etc/group) even when doing local aliases.
2336 o Relax check on the pipe name in a dce/rpc bind response to work
2337 around issues with establishing trusts to a Windows 2003 domain.
2338 o Ensure we mangle names ending in '.' in hash2 mangling method.
2339 o Correct parsing issues with munged dial string.
2340 o Fix bugs in quota support for XFS.
2341 o Add a cleaner method for applications that need to provide
2342 name->SID mappings to do this via NSS rather than having to
2343 know the winbindd pipe protocol.
2344 o Adds a variant of the winbindd_getgroups() call called
2345 winbindd_getusersids() that provides direct SID->SIDs listing of
2346 a users supplementary groups. This is enough to allow non-Samba
2347 applications to do ACL checking.
2348 o Make sure we don't append the 'ldap suffix' when writing out the
2349 'ldap XXX suffix' values in SWAT (bug 328).
2350 o Fix renames across file systems.
2351 o Ensure that items in a list of strings containing whitespace are
2352 written out surrounded by single quotes. This means that both
2353 double and single quotes are now used to surround strings in
2354 smb.conf (bug 481).
2355 o Enable SWAT to correctly determine if winbindd is running (bug
2356 398).
2357 o Include WWW-Authenticate field in 401 response for bad auth
2358 attempt (bug 629).
2359 o Add support for NTLM2 (NTLMv2 session security).
2360 o Add support for variable-length session keys.
2361 o More privilege fixes for group enumeration in LDAP (bug 281).
2362 o Use the dns name (or IP) as the originating client name when
2363 using CUPS (bug 467).
2364 o Fix various SMB signing bugs.
2365 o Fix ACL propagation on a DFS root (bug 263).
2366 o Disable NTLM2 for RPC pipes.
2367 o Allow the client to specify the NTLM2 flags got NTLMSSP
2368 authentication.
2369 o Change the name of the job passed off to cups from "Test Page"
2370 to "smbprn.00000033 Test Page" so that we can get the smb
2371 jobid back. This allow users to delete jobs with cups printing
2372 backend (partial work on bug 770).
2373 o Fix build of winbindd with static pdb modules.
2374 o Retrieve the correct ACL group bits if the file has an ACL
2375 (bug 802).
2376 o Implement "net rpc group members": Get members of a domain group
2377 in human-readable format.
2378 o Add MacOSX (Darwin) specific charset module code.
2379 o Use samr_dispinfo(level == 1) for enumerating domain users so we
2380 can include the full name in gecos field (bug 587).
2381 o Add support for winbind's NSS library on FeeeBSD 5.1 (bug 797).
2382 o Implement 'net rpc group list [global|local|builtin]*' for a
2383 select listing of the respective user databases.
2384 o Don't automatically set NT status code flag unless client tells
2385 us it can cope.
2386 o Add 'net status [sessions|shares] [parseable]'.
2387 o Don't mistake pre-existing UNIX jobs for smb jobs (remainder of
2388 bug 770).
2389 o Add 'Replicator' and 'RAS Servers' to list of builtin SIDs
2390 (bug 608).
2391 o Fix inverted logic in hosts allow/deny checks caused by
2392 s/strcmp/strequal/ (bug 846).
2393 o Implement correct version SamrRemoveSidForeignDomain() (bug 252).
2394 o Fix typo in 'hash' mangling algorithm.
2395 o Support munged dial for ldapsam (bug 800).
2396 o Fix process_incoming_data() to return the number of bytes handled
2397 this call whether we have a complete PDU or not; fixes bug
2398 with multiple PDU request rpc's broken over SMBwriteX calls
2399 each.
2400 o Fix incorrect smb flags2 for connections to pre-NT servers
2401 (causes smbclient to fail to OS2 for example) (bug 821).
2402 o Update version string in smbldap-tools Makefile to 0.8.2.
2403 o Correct a problem with "net rpc vampire" mis-parsing the
2404 alias member info reply.
2405 o Ensure the ${libdir} is created by the installclientlib script.
2406 o Fix detection of Windows 2003 client architecture in the smb.conf
2407 %a variable.
2408 o Ensure that smbd calls the add user script for a missing UNIX
2409 user on kerberos auth call (bug 445).
2410 o Fix bugs in hosts allow/deny when using a mismatched
2411 network/netmask pair.
2412 o Protect alloc_sub_basic() from crashing when the source string
2413 is NULL (partial work on bug 687).
2414 o Fix spinlocks on IRIX.
2415 o Corrected some bad destination paths when running "configure
2416 --with-fhs".
2417 o Add packaging files for Fedora Core 1.
2418 o Correct bug in SWAT install script for non-english languages.
2419 o Support character set ISO-8859-1 internally (bug 558).
2420 o Fixed more LDAP access errors when looking up group mappings
2421 (bug 281).
2422 o Fix UNISTR2 length bug in LsaQueryInfo(3) that caused SID
2423 resolution to fail on local files on on domain members
2424 (bug 875).
2425 o Fix uninitialized variable in passdb.c.
2426 o Fix formal parameter type in get_static() in nsswitch/wins.c.
2427 o Fix problem mounting directories when mount.cifs is installed
2428 with the setuid bit on.

2438 The original 3.0.0 release notes follow
2439 =======================================
2440 WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.0
2441 September 24, 2003
2442 =======================================
2445 Major new features:
2446 -------------------
2448 1) Active Directory support. Samba 3.0 is now able to
2449 join a ADS realm as a member server and authenticate
2450 users using LDAP/Kerberos.
2452 2) Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate UNICODE on the wire
2453 and internally there is now a much better infrastructure for
2454 multi-byte and UNICODE character sets.
2456 3) New authentication system. The internal authentication system
2457 has been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are
2458 internal, but the new auth system is also very configurable.
2460 4) New default filename mangling system.
2462 5) A new "net" command has been added. It is somewhat similar to
2463 the "net" command in windows. Eventually we plan to replace
2464 numerous other utilities (such as smbpasswd) with subcommands
2465 in "net".
2467 6) Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
2468 improves error handling a lot.
2470 7) Better Windows 2000/XP/2003 printing support including publishing
2471 printer attributes in active directory.
2473 8) New loadable module support for passdb backends and character
2474 sets.
2476 9) New default dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance.
2478 10) Support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Samba
2479 domain and maintaining user, group and domain SIDs.
2481 11) Support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
2482 domain controllers.
2484 12) Initial support for a distributed Winbind architecture using
2485 an LDAP directory for storing SID to uid/gid mappings.
2487 13) Major updates to the Samba documentation tree.
2489 14) Full support for client and server SMB signing to ensure
2490 compatibility with default Windows 2003 security settings.
2492 15) Improvement of ACL mapping features based on code donated by
2493 Andreas Grünbacher.
2496 Plus lots of other improvements!
2499 Additional Documentation
2500 ------------------------
2502 Please refer to Samba documentation tree (included in the docs/
2503 subdirectory) for extensive explanations of installing, configuring
2504 and maintaining Samba 3.0 servers and clients. It is advised to
2505 begin with the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for overviews and specific
2506 tasks (the current book is up to approximately 400 pages) and to
2507 refer to the various man pages for information on individual options.
2509 We are very glad to be able to include the second edition of
2510 "Using Samba" by Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown
2511 (O'Reilly & Associates) in this release. The book is available
2512 on-line at http://samba.org/samba/docs/ and is included with
2513 the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). Thanks to the authors and
2514 publisher for making "Using Samba" under the GNU Free Documentation
2515 License.
2518 ######################################################################
2519 Upgrading from a previous Samba 3.0 beta
2520 ########################################
2522 Beginning with Samba 3.0.0beta3, the RID allocation functions
2523 have been moved into winbindd. Previously these were handled
2524 by each passdb backend. This means that winbindd must be running
2525 to automatically allocate RIDs for users and/or groups. Otherwise,
2526 smbd will use the 2.2 algorithm for generating new RIDs.
2528 If you are using 'passdb backend = tdbsam' with a previous Samba
2529 3.0 beta release (or possibly alpha), it may be necessary to
2530 move the RID_COUNTER entry from /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
2531 to winbindd_idmap.tdb. To do this:
2533 1) Ensure that winbindd_idmap.tdb exists (launch winbindd at least
2534 once)
2535 2) build tdbtool by executing 'make tdbtool' in the source/tdb/
2536 directory
2537 3) run: (note that 'tdb>' is the tool's prompt for input)
2539 root# ./tdbtool /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
2540 tdb> show RID_COUNTER
2541 key 12 bytes
2542 RID_COUNTER
2543 data 4 bytes
2544 [000] 0A 52 00 00 .R.
2546 tdb> move RID_COUNTER /usr/local/samba/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb
2547 ....
2548 record moved
2550 If you are using 'passdb backend = ldapsam', it will be necessary to
2551 store idmap entries in the LDAP directory as well (i.e. idmap backend
2552 = ldap). Refer to the 'net idmap' command for more information on
2553 migrating SID<->UNIX id mappings from one backend to another.
2555 If the RID_COUNTER record does not exist, then these instructions are
2556 unneccessary and the new RID_COUNTER record will be correctly generated
2557 if needed.

2739 upgrade databases as they are opened (if necessary), but downgrading
2740 from 3.0 to 2.2 is an unsupported path.
2742 Name Description Backup?
2743 ---- ----------- -------
2744 account_policy User policy settings yes
2745 gencache Generic caching db no
2746 group_mapping Mapping table from Windows yes
2747 groups/SID to unix groups
2748 winbindd_idmap ID map table from SIDS to UNIX yes
2749 uids/gids.
2750 namecache Name resolution cache entries no
2751 netsamlogon_cache Cache of NET_USER_INFO_3 structure no
2752 returned as part of a successful
2753 net_sam_logon request
2754 printing/*.tdb Cached output from 'lpq no
2755 command' created on a per print
2756 service basis
2757 registry Read-only samba registry skeleton no
2758 that provides support for exporting
2759 various db tables via the winreg RPCs
2762 Changes in Behavior
2763 -------------------
2765 The following issues are known changes in behavior between Samba 2.2 and
2766 Samba 3.0 that may affect certain installations of Samba.
2768 1) When operating as a member of a Windows domain, Samba 2.2 would
2769 map any users authenticated by the remote DC to the 'guest account'
2770 if a uid could not be obtained via the getpwnam() call. Samba 3.0
2771 rejects the connection as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. There is no
2772 current work around to re-establish the 2.2 behavior.
2774 2) When adding machines to a Samba 2.2 controlled domain, the
2775 'add user script' was used to create the UNIX identity of the
2776 machine trust account. Samba 3.0 introduces a new 'add machine
2777 script' that must be specified for this purpose. Samba 3.0 will
2778 not fall back to using the 'add user script' in the absence of
2779 an 'add machine script'
2782 ######################################################################
2783 Passdb Backends and Authentication
2784 ##################################
2786 There have been a few new changes that Samba administrators should be
2787 aware of when moving to Samba 3.0.
2789 1) encrypted passwords have been enabled by default in order to
2790 inter-operate better with out-of-the-box Windows client
2791 installations. This does mean that either (a) a samba account
2792 must be created for each user, or (b) 'encrypt passwords = no'
2793 must be explicitly defined in smb.conf.
2795 2) Inclusion of new 'security = ads' option for integration
2796 with an Active Directory domain using the native Windows
2797 Kerberos 5 and LDAP protocols.
2799 MIT kerberos 1.3.1 supports the ARCFOUR-HMAC-MD5 encryption
2800 type which is neccessary for servers on which the
2801 administrator password has not been changed, or kerberos-enabled
2802 SMB connections to servers that require Kerberos SMB signing.
2803 Besides this one difference, either MIT or Heimdal Kerberos
2804 distributions are usable by Samba 3.0.
2807 Samba 3.0 also includes the possibility of setting up chains
2808 of authentication methods (auth methods) and account storage
2809 backends (passdb backend). Please refer to the smb.conf(5)
2810 man page for details. While both parameters assume sane default
2811 values, it is likely that you will need to understand what the
2812 values actually mean in order to ensure Samba operates correctly.
2814 The recommended passdb backends at this time are
2816 * smbpasswd - 2.2 compatible flat file format
2817 * tdbsam - attribute rich database intended as an smbpasswd
2818 replacement for stand alone servers
2819 * ldapsam - attribute rich account storage and retrieval
2820 backend utilizing an LDAP directory.
2821 * ldapsam_compat - a 2.2 backward compatible LDAP account
2822 backend
2824 Certain functions of the smbpasswd(8) tool have been split between the
2825 new smbpasswd(8) utility, the net(8) tool, and the new pdbedit(8)
2826 utility. See the respective man pages for details.
2829 ######################################################################
2830 LDAP
2831 ####
2833 This section outlines the new features affecting Samba / LDAP
2834 integration.
2836 New Schema
2837 ----------
2839 A new object class (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace
2840 the old sambaAccount. This change aids us in the renaming of
2841 attributes to prevent clashes with attributes from other vendors.
2842 There is a conversion script (examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to
2843 modify and LDIF file to the new schema.
2845 Example:
2847 $ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." > sambaAcct.ldif
2848 $ convertSambaAccount --sid=<Domain SID> \
2849 --input=sambaAcct.ldif --output=sambaSamAcct.ldif \
2850 --changetype=[modify|add]
2852 The <DOM SID> can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid
2853 <DOMAINNAME>' on the Samba PDC as root. The changetype determines
2854 the format of the generated LDIF output--either create new entries
2855 or modify existing entries.
2857 The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
2858 "ldapsam_compat" passdb backend. However, the sambaAccount and
2859 associated attributes have been moved to the historical section of
2860 the schema file and must be uncommented before use if needed.
2861 The 2.2 object class declaration for a sambaAccount has not changed
2862 in the 3.0 samba.schema file.
2864 Other new object classes and their uses include:
2866 * sambaDomain - domain information used to allocate rids
2867 for users and groups as necessary. The attributes are added
2868 in 'ldap suffix' directory entry automatically if
2869 an idmap uid/gid range has been set and the 'ldapsam'
2870 passdb backend has been selected.
2872 * sambaGroupMapping - an object representing the
2873 relationship between a posixGroup and a Windows
2874 group/SID. These entries are stored in the 'ldap
2875 group suffix' and managed by the 'net groupmap' command.
2877 * sambaUnixIdPool - created in the 'ldap idmap suffix' entry
2878 automatically and contains the next available 'idmap uid' and
2879 'idmap gid'
2881 * sambaIdmapEntry - object storing a mapping between a
2882 SID and a UNIX uid/gid. These objects are created by the
2883 idmap_ldap module as needed.
2885 * sambaSidEntry - object representing a SID alone, as a Structural
2886 class on which to build the sambaIdmapEntry.
2889 New Suffix for Searching
2890 ------------------------
2892 The following new smb.conf parameters have been added to aid in directing
2893 certain LDAP queries when 'passdb backend = ldapsam://...' has been
2894 specified.
2896 * ldap suffix - used to search for user and computer accounts
2897 * ldap user suffix - used to store user accounts
2898 * ldap machine suffix - used to store machine trust accounts
2899 * ldap group suffix - location of posixGroup/sambaGroupMapping entries
2900 * ldap idmap suffix - location of sambaIdmapEntry objects
2902 If an 'ldap suffix' is defined, it will be appended to all of the
2903 remaining sub-suffix parameters. In this case, the order of the suffix
2904 listings in smb.conf is important. Always place the 'ldap suffix' first
2905 in the list.
2907 Due to a limitation in Samba's smb.conf parsing, you should not surround
2908 the DN's with quotation marks.
2911 IdMap LDAP support
2912 ------------------
2914 Samba 3.0 supports an ldap backend for the idmap subsystem. The
2915 following options would inform Samba that the idmap table should be
2916 stored on the directory server onterose in the "ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,
2917 dc=org" partition.
2919 [global]

2921 idmap backend = ldap:ldap://onterose/
2922 ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,dc=org
2923 idmap uid = 40000-50000
2924 idmap gid = 40000-50000
2926 This configuration allows winbind installations on multiple servers to
2927 share a uid/gid number space, thus avoiding the interoperability problems
2928 with NFS that were present in Samba 2.2.

2933 Trust Relationships and a Samba Domain
2934 ######################################
2936 Samba 3.0.0beta2 is able to utilize winbindd as the means of
2937 allocating uids and gids to trusted users and groups. More
2938 information regarding Samba's support for establishing trust
2939 relationships can be found in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection included
2940 in the docs/ directory of this release.
2942 First create your Samba PDC and ensure that everything is
2943 working correctly before moving on the trusts.
2945 To establish Samba as the trusting domain (named SAMBA) from a Windows NT
2946 4.0 domain named WINDOWS:
2948 1) create the trust account for SAMBA in "User Manager for Domains"
2949 2) connect the trust from the Samba domain using
2950 'net rpc trustdom establish GLASS'
2952 To create a trustlationship with SAMBA as the trusted domain:
2954 1) create the initial trust account for GLASS using
2955 'smbpasswd -a -i GLASS'. You may need to create a UNIX
2956 account for GLASS$ prior to this step (depending on your
2957 local configuration).
2958 2) connect the trust from a WINDOWS DC using "User Manager
2959 for Domains"
2961 Now join winbindd on the Samba PDC to the SAMBA domain using
2962 the normal steps for adding a Samba server to an NT4 domain:
2963 (note that smbd & nmbd must be running at this point)
2965 root# net rpc join -U root
2966 Password: <enter root password from smbpasswd file here>
2968 Start winbindd and test the join with 'wbinfo -t'.
2970 Now test the trust relationship by connecting to the SAMBA DC
2971 (e.g. POGO) as a user from the WINDOWS domain:
2973 $ smbclient //pogo/netlogon -U Administrator -W WINDOWS
2974 Password:
2976 Now connect to the WINDOWS DC (e.g. CRYSTAL) as a Samba user:
2978 $ smbclient //crystal/netlogon -U root -W WINDOWS
2979 Password:

2982 Changes in Winbind
2983 ##################
2985 Beginning with Samba3.0.0beta3, winbindd has been given new account
2986 manage functionality equivalent to the 'add user script' family of
2987 smb.conf parameters. The idmap design has also been changed to
2988 centralize control of foreign SID lookups and matching to UNIX
2989 uids and gids.
2992 Brief Description of Changes
2993 ----------------------------
2995 1) The sid_to_uid() family of functions (smbd/uid.c) have been
2996 reverted to the 2.2.x design. This means that when resolving a
2997 SID to a UID or similar mapping:
2999 a) First consult winbindd
3000 b) perform a local lookup only if winbindd fails to
3001 return a successful answer
3003 There are some variations to this, but these two rules generally
3004 apply.
3006 2) All idmap lookups have been moved into winbindd. This means that
3007 a server must run winbindd (and support NSS) in order to achieve
3008 any mappings of SID to dynamically allocated UNIX ids. This was
3009 a conscious design choice.
3011 3) New functions have been added to winbindd to emulate the 'add user
3012 script' family of smbd functions without requiring that external
3013 scripts be defined. This functionality is controlled by the 'winbind
3014 enable local accounts' smb.conf parameter (enabled by default).
3016 However, this account management functionality is only supported
3017 in a local tdb (winbindd_idmap.tdb). If these new UNIX accounts
3018 must be shared among multiple Samba servers (such as a PDC and BDCs),
3019 it will be necessary to define your own 'add user script', et. al.
3020 programs that place the accounts/groups in some form of directory
3021 such as NIS or LDAP. This requirement was deemed beyond the scope
3022 of winbind's account management functions. Solutions for
3023 distributing UNIX system information have been deployed and tested
3024 for many years. We saw no need to reinvent the wheel.
3026 4) A member of a Samba controlled domain running winbindd is now able
3027 to map domain users directly onto existing UNIX accounts while still
3028 automatically creating accounts for trusted users and groups. This
3029 behavior is controlled by the 'winbind trusted domains only' smb.conf
3030 parameter (disabled by default to provide 2.2.x winbind behavior).
3032 5) Group mapping support is wrapped in the local_XX_to_XX() functions
3033 in smbd/uid.c. The reason that group mappings are not included
3034 in winbindd is because the purpose of Samba's group map is to
3035 match any Windows SID with an existing UNIX group. These UNIX
3036 groups can be created by winbindd (see next section), but the
3037 SID<->gid mapping is retreived by smbd, not winbindd.
3040 Examples
3041 --------
3043 * security = server running winbindd to allocate accounts on demand
3045 * Samba PDC running winbindd to handle the automatic creation of UNIX
3046 identities for machine trust accounts
3048 * Automtically creating UNIX user and groups when migrating a Windows NT
3049 4.0 PDC to a Samba PDC. Winbindd must be running when executing
3050 'net rpc vampire' for this to work.
