4 ==================================
6 This is a release candidate of the Samba 3.0.12 code base and is
7 provided for testing only. While close to the final stable release,
8 this snapshot is *not* intended for production servers. If all
9 goes well, this this version (or something very similar) will become
10 the final 3.0.12 stable release.
12 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.12rc1 include:

166 ==================================
167 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.12pre1
169 ===================================
171 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.12pre1 include:
173 o Winbind failures when using 'disable netbios = yes'
174 o Failure to establish a trust relationship via 'net rpc
176 o Various portability & compiler issues.
177 o Read only file deletion failure caused by new delete
178 semantics in Windows XP SP2 and the MS 04-044 security
181 Additional features introduced in Samba 3.0.12pre1:
183 o Performance enhancements when serving directories
184 containing large number of files.
185 o MS-DFS support added to smbclient.
186 o More performance improvements when using Samba/OpenLDAP
187 based DC's via the 'ldapsam:trusted=yes' option.
190 Large Directory Support
191 -----------------------
193 Samba 3.0.12pre1 introduces a specific mechanism for dealing
194 with file services that frequently contain a large number of files
195 per directory. Historically Samba's performance has suffered
196 in such environments due to the translation from case
197 insensitive lookups by Windows client to the case sensitive
198 storage mechanisms used by UNIX filesystems.

374 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.11
376 ==============================
378 This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version
379 that production Samba servers should be running for all current
380 bug-fixes. Please read the following important changes in this
383 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.11 include:
385 o Crash in smbd when using CUPS printing.
386 o Parsing error of other SIDs included in the user_info_3
387 structure returned from domain controllers.
388 o Inefficiencies when searching non-AD LDAP directories.
389 o Failure to expand variables in user domain attributes
390 in tdbsam and ldapsam.
392 o Failure to retrieve certain attribute when migrating from
393 a Windows DC to a Samba DC via 'net rpc vampire'.
394 o Numerous printing bugs bugs including memory
395 bloating on large/busy print servers.
396 o Compatibility issues with Exchange 5.5 SP4.
399 Additional features introduced in Samba 3.0.11:
401 o Winbindd performance improvements.
402 o More 'net rpc vampire' functionality.
403 o Support for the Windows privilege model to assign rights
405 o New administrative options to the 'net rpc' command.
411 If "ldap user suffix" or "ldap machine suffix" are defined in
412 smb.conf, all user-accounts must reside below the user suffix,
413 and all machine and inter-domain trust-accounts must be located
414 below the machine suffix. Previous Samba releases would fall
415 back to searching the 'ldap suffix' in some cases.
421 Samba 3.0.11 supports the following assignable rights
423 SeMachineAccountPrivilege Add machines to domain
424 SePrintOperatorPrivilege Manage printers
425 SeAddUsersPrivilege Add users and groups to the domain
426 SeRemoteShutdownPrivilege Force shutdown from a remote system
427 SeDiskOperatorPrivilege Manage disk shares
429 These rights can be assigned to arbitrary users or groups
430 via the 'net rpc rights grant/revoke' command. More details
431 of Samba's privilege implementation can be found in the
432 Samba-HOWTO-Collection.

985 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.8
987 =============================
989 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.8 include:
991 o Compile fixes for HP-UX
992 o Fixes for the printer publishing code used when joined to
994 o Incompatibilities with file system quotas.
995 o Several bugs in the spoolss printing code and print system
997 o Inconsistencies in the username map functionality when

1000 o Fixes for kerberos interoperability with Windows 200x
1001 domains when using DES keys.
1002 o Fix for CAN-2004-0930 -- smbd remote DoS vulnerability.
1003 o Fix for CAN-2004-0882 -- possible buffer overrun in smbd.
1006 New features included in the 3.0.8 release are:
1008 o New migration functionality added the the net tool
1009 for files/directories, printers, and shares.
1010 o New experimental idmap backend for assigning uids/gids
1011 directly based on the user/group RID when acting as a
1012 member of single domain without any trusts.
1013 o Additional printer migration support for XP/2003 platforms.
1016 Change in Winbindd Behavior
1017 ---------------------------
1019 All usernames returned by winbindd are now converted to lower
1020 case for better consistency. This means any winbind installation
1021 relying on the winbind username will need to rename existing
1022 directories and/or files based on the username (%u and %U) to lower
1023 case (e.g. mv $name `echo $name | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`). This may
1024 include mail spool files, home directories, valid user lines in
1028 Change in Username Map
1029 ----------------------
1031 Previous Samba releases would only support reading the fully qualified
1032 username (e.g. DOMAIN\user) from the username map when performing a
1033 kerberos login from a client. However, when looking up a map
1034 entry for a user authenticated by NTLM[SSP], only the login name would be
1035 used for matches. This resulted in inconsistent behavior sometimes
1036 even on the same server.
1038 Samba 3.0.8 obeys the following rules when applying the username
1041 * When performing local authentication, the username map is
1042 applied to the login name before attempting to authenticate
1044 * When relying upon a external domain controller for validating
1045 authentication requests, smbd will apply the username map
1046 to the fully qualified username (i.e. DOMAIN\user) only
1047 after the user has been successfully authenticated.

1591 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.6
1593 =============================
1595 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.6 include:
1597 o Schannel failure in winbindd.
1598 o Numerous memory leaks.
1599 o Incompatibilities between the 'write list' and 'force user'
1601 o Premature optimization of the open_directory() internal
1602 function that broke tools such as the ArcServe backup
1603 agent, Macromedia HomeSite, and Robocopy.
1604 o Corrupt workgroup names in nmbd's browse.dat.
1605 o Sharing violation errors commonly seen when opening
1606 when serving Microsoft Office documents from a Samba
1608 o Browsing problems caused by an apostrophe (') in the
1609 computer's description field.
1610 o Problems creating special file types from UNIX CIFS
1611 clients and enabling 'unix extensions'.
1612 o Fix stalls in smbd caused by inaccessible LDAP servers.
1613 o Remove various memory leaks.
1614 o Fix issues in the password lockout feature.
1616 New features introduced in this release include:
1618 O Support symlinks created by CIFS clients which
1619 can be followed on the server.
1620 o Using a cups server other than localhost.
1621 o Maintaining the service principal entry in the system
1622 keytab for integration with other kerberized services.
1623 Please refer to the 'use kerberos keytab' entry in
1624 smb.conf(5). When using the heimdal kerberos libraries,
1625 you must also specify the following in /etc/krb5.conf:
1627 default_keytab_name = FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab
1628 o Support for maintaining individual printer names
1629 stored separately from the printer's sharename.
1630 o Support for maintaining user password history.
1631 o Support for honoring the logon times for user in a
1634 --------------------------------------------
1635 unix extensions = yes (default) and symlinks
1636 --------------------------------------------
1638 Beginning with Samba 3.0.6pre1 (formerly known as 3.0.5pre1),
1639 clients supporting the UNIX extensions to the CIFS protocol
1640 can create symlinks to absolute paths which will be **followed**
1641 by the server. This functionality has been requested in order
1642 to correctly support certain applications when the user's home
1643 directory is mounted using some type of CIFS client (e.g. the
1644 cifsvfs in the Linux 2.6 kernel).
1646 If this behavior is not acceptable for your production environment
1647 you can set 'wide links = no' in the specific share declaration in
1648 the server's smb.conf. Be aware that disabling wide link support
1649 out of a share in Samba may impact the server's performance due
1650 to the fact that smbd will now have to check each path additional
1651 times before traversing it.
1653 ------------------------
1654 Password History Support
1655 ------------------------
1657 The new password history feature allows smbd to check the new
1658 password in password change requests against a list of the user's
1659 previous passwords. The number of previous passwords to save can
1660 be set using pdbedit (4 in this example):
1662 root# pdbedit -P "password history" -C 4
1664 When using the ldapsam passdb backend, it is vital to secure the
1665 following attributes from access by non-administrative users:
1669 * sambaPasswordHistory
1671 You should refer to your directory server's documentation on how
1672 to implement this restriction.
1681 Parameter Name Action
1682 -------------- ------
1684 defer sharing violations New
1685 force unknown acl user New
1687 printcap cache time New
1688 use kerberos keytab New
1692 o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
1693 * Correct path parsing bug that broke DeletePrinterDriverEx().
1694 * Fix bugs in check_path_syntax() caught by asserts.
1695 * Internal change - rearrange internal global case setting
1696 variables to a per connection basis.

1701 * Fix specific case of open that doesn't cause oplock break,
1702 or share mode check.
1703 * Correct sid type is WKN_GROUP, not alias. Added some
1704 more known types (inspired by patch from Jianliang Lu).
1705 * Allow creation of absolute symlink paths via CIFS clients.
1706 * Fix charset bug in when invoking send_mailslot().
1707 * When using widelinks = no, use realpath to canonicalize

1752 * If a account was locked out by an admin (and has a bad
1753 password count of zero) leave it locked out until an admin
1754 unlocks it (but log a message).
1755 * Ensure we return the same ACL revision on the wire that

1930 affects strings the spoolss printing replies.
1931 * Fix the bad password lockout. This has not worked as pdb_ldap.c
1932 did not ask for the modifyTimestamp attribute, so it could
1933 not find it. Try not to regress by not putting that attrib

2090 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.5
2092 =============================
2094 Please note that Samba 3.0.5 is identical to Samba 3.0.4 with
2095 the exception of correcting the two security issues outlined
2098 ######################## SECURITY RELEASE ########################
2100 Summary: Multiple Potential Buffer Overruns in Samba 3.0.x
2101 CVE ID: CAN-2004-0600, CAN-2004-0686
2102 (http://cve.mitre.org/)
2105 This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version
2106 that production Samba servers should be running for all current
2109 It has been confirmed that versions of Samba 3 prior to v3.0.4
2110 are vulnerable to two potential buffer overruns. The individual
2111 details are given below.
2117 Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.2 and later
2119 The internal routine used by the Samba Web Administration
2120 Tool (SWAT v3.0.2 and later) to decode the base64 data
2121 during HTTP basic authentication is subject to a buffer
2122 overrun caused by an invalid base64 character. It is
2123 recommended that all Samba v3.0.2 or later installations
2124 running SWAT either (a) upgrade to v3.0.5, or (b) disable
2125 the swat administration service as a temporary workaround.
2127 This same code is used internally to decode the
2128 sambaMungedDial attribute value when using the ldapsam
2129 passdb backend. While we do not believe that the base64
2130 decoding routines used by the ldapsam passdb backend can
2131 be exploited, sites using an LDAP directory service with
2132 Samba are strongly encouraged to verify that the DIT only
2133 allows write access to sambaSamAccount attributes by a
2134 sufficiently authorized user.
2136 The Samba Team would like to heartily thank Evgeny Demidov
2137 for analyzing and reporting this bug.
2143 Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.0 and later
2145 A buffer overrun has been located in the code used to support
2146 the 'mangling method = hash' smb.conf option. Please be aware
2147 that the default setting for this parameter is 'mangling method
2148 = hash2' and therefore not vulnerable.
2150 Affected Samba 3 installations can avoid this possible security
2151 bug by using the default hash2 mangling method. Server
2152 installations requiring the hash mangling method are encouraged
2153 to upgrade to Samba 3.0.5.

2728 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2a
2730 ==============================
2732 Samba 3.0.2a is a minor patch release for the 3.0.2 code base
2733 to address, in particular, a problem when using pdbedit to
2734 sanitize (--force-initialized-passwords) Samba's tdbsam
2735 backend. This is the latest stable release of Samba. This
2736 is the version that all production Samba servers should be
2737 running for all current bug-fixes.
2739 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
2741 Beginning with Samba 3.0.2, passwords for accounts with a last
2742 change time (LCT-XXX in smbpasswd, sambaPwdLastSet attribute in
2743 ldapsam, etc...) of zero (0) will be regarded as uninitialized
2744 strings. This will cause authentication to fail for such
2745 accounts. If you have valid passwords that meet this criteria,
2746 you must update the last change time to a non-zero value. If you
2747 do not, then 'pdbedit --force-initialized-passwords' will disable
2748 these accounts and reset the password hashes to a string of X's.
2750 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
2759 Please refer to the CVS log for the SAMBA_3_0 branch for complete
2760 details. The list of changes per contributor are as follows:
2763 o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
2764 * Added paranoia checks in parsing code.
2767 o Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org>
2768 * Ensure that changes to uninitialized passwords in ldapsam
2769 are written to the DIT.
2772 o Gerald (Jerry) Carter <jerry@samba.org>
2773 * Fixed iterator in tdbsam.
2774 * Fix bug that disabled accounts with a valid NT password
2775 hash, but no LanMan hash.
2778 o Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
2779 * Added missing nosetuid and noexec options.
2782 o Bostjan Golob <golob@gimb.org>
2783 * BUG 1046: Don't overwrite usernames of entries returned
2787 o Sebastian Krahmer <krahmer@suse.de>

2801 =============================
2802 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2
2804 =============================
2806 It has been confirmed that previous versions of Samba 3.0 are
2807 susceptible to a password initialization bug that could grant an
2808 attacker unauthorized access to a user account created by the
2809 mksmbpasswd.sh shell script.
2811 The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
2812 has assigned the name CAN-2004-0082 to this issue.
2814 Samba administrators not wishing to upgrade to the current
2815 version should download the 3.0.2 release, build the pdbedit
2818 root# pdbedit-3.0.2 --force-initialized-passwords
2820 This will disable all accounts not possessing a valid password
2821 (e.g. the password field has been set a string of X's).
2823 Samba servers running 3.0.2 are not vulnerable to this bug
2824 regardless of whether or not pdbedit has been used to sanitize
2827 Some of the more visible bugs in 3.0.1 addressed in the 3.0.2
2830 o Joining a Samba domain from Pre-SP2 Windows 2000 clients.
2831 o Logging onto a Samba domain from Windows XP clients.
2832 o Problems with the %U and %u smb.conf variables in relation to
2833 Windows 9x/ME clients.
2834 o Kerberos failures due to an invalid in memory keytab detection
2836 o Updates to the ntlm_auth tool.
2837 o Fixes for various SMB signing errors.
2838 o Better separation of WINS and DNS queries for domain controllers.
2839 o Issues with nss_winbind FreeBSD and Solaris.
2840 o Several crash bugs in smbd and winbindd.
2841 o Output formatting fixes for smbclient for better compatibility
2842 with scripts based on the 2.2 version.

3207 o Modified testparm so that all output so all debug output goes
3208 to stderr, and all file processing goes to stdout.
3209 o Fix error return code for BUFFER_TOO_SMALL in smbcacls
3211 o Fix "NULL dest in safe_strcpy()" log message by ensuring that
3212 we have a devmode before copying a string to the devicename.
3213 o Support mapping REALM.COM\user to a local user account (without
3214 running winbindd) for compatibility with 2.2.x release.
3215 o Ensure we don't use mmap() on blacklisted systems.
3216 o fixed a number of bugs and memory leaks in the AIX
3218 o Call initgroups() in SWAT before becomming the user so that
3219 secondary group permissions can be used when writing to

3234 the real uid when becoming unprivileged.
3235 o Cope with Exchange 5.5 cleartext pop password auth.
3236 o New files for support of initshutdown pipe. Win2k doesn't
3237 respond properly to all requests on the winreg pipe, so we need
3238 to handle this new pipe (bug 534).
3239 o Added more va_copy() checks in configure.in.
3240 o Include fixes for libsmbclient build problems.
3241 o Missing UNIX -> DOS codepage conversion in lanman.c.

3264 o Fix crash bug in smbclient completion (bug 659).
3265 o Fix packet length for browse list reply (bug 771).
3266 o Fix coredump in cli_get_backup_list().

3280 the local IP address to which a client connected.
3281 o Allow winbindd to match local accounts to domain SID when
3282 'winbind trusted domains only = yes' (bug 680).
3283 o Remove code in idmap_ldap that searches the user suffix and group
3284 suffix. It's not needed and provides inconsistent functionality
3285 from the tdb backend.
3286 o Patch to handle munged dial string for Windows 2000 TSE.
3287 Thanks to Gaz de France, Direction de la Recherche, Service
3288 Informatique Métier for their supporting this work by Aurelien
3289 Degrémont <adegremont@idealx.com>.
3290 o Correct the "smbldap_open: cannot access when not root error"
3291 messages when looking up group information (bug 281).
3292 o Skip over the winbind separator when looking up a user.
3293 This fixes the bug that prevented local users from

3306 reply (bug 338, 527 & 643).
3307 o Fix a handful of potential memory leaks in the LDAP code used
3308 by ldapsam[_compat] and the LDAP idmap backend.
3309 o Fix for pdbedit error code returns (bug 763).
3310 o Make sure we only enumerate group mapping entries (not
3311 /etc/group) even when doing local aliases.
3312 o Relax check on the pipe name in a dce/rpc bind response to work
3313 around issues with establishing trusts to a Windows 2003 domain.
3314 o Ensure we mangle names ending in '.' in hash2 mangling method.
3315 o Correct parsing issues with munged dial string.
3316 o Fix bugs in quota support for XFS.
3317 o Add a cleaner method for applications that need to provide
3318 name->SID mappings to do this via NSS rather than having to
3319 know the winbindd pipe protocol.
3320 o Adds a variant of the winbindd_getgroups() call called
3321 winbindd_getusersids() that provides direct SID->SIDs listing of
3322 a users supplementary groups. This is enough to allow non-Samba
3323 applications to do ACL checking.
3324 o Make sure we don't append the 'ldap suffix' when writing out the
3325 'ldap XXX suffix' values in SWAT (bug 328).
3326 o Fix renames across file systems.

3345 o Change the name of the job passed off to cups from "Test Page"
3346 to "smbprn.00000033 Test Page" so that we can get the smb
3347 jobid back. This allow users to delete jobs with cups printing
3348 backend (partial work on bug 770).
3349 o Fix build of winbindd with static pdb modules.
3350 o Retrieve the correct ACL group bits if the file has an ACL
3352 o Implement "net rpc group members": Get members of a domain group
3353 in human-readable format.
3354 o Add MacOSX (Darwin) specific charset module code.
3355 o Use samr_dispinfo(level == 1) for enumerating domain users so we

3374 with multiple PDU request rpc's broken over SMBwriteX calls
3376 o Fix incorrect smb flags2 for connections to pre-NT servers
3377 (causes smbclient to fail to OS2 for example) (bug 821).
3378 o Update version string in smbldap-tools Makefile to 0.8.2.
3379 o Correct a problem with "net rpc vampire" mis-parsing the

3414 The original 3.0.0 release notes follow
3415 =======================================
3416 WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.0
3418 =======================================
3424 1) Active Directory support. Samba 3.0 is now able to
3425 join a ADS realm as a member server and authenticate
3426 users using LDAP/Kerberos.
3428 2) Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate UNICODE on the wire
3429 and internally there is now a much better infrastructure for
3430 multi-byte and UNICODE character sets.
3432 3) New authentication system. The internal authentication system
3433 has been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are
3434 internal, but the new auth system is also very configurable.
3436 4) New default filename mangling system.
3438 5) A new "net" command has been added. It is somewhat similar to
3439 the "net" command in windows. Eventually we plan to replace
3440 numerous other utilities (such as smbpasswd) with subcommands
3443 6) Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
3444 improves error handling a lot.
3446 7) Better Windows 2000/XP/2003 printing support including publishing
3447 printer attributes in active directory.
3449 8) New loadable module support for passdb backends and character
3452 9) New default dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance.
3454 10) Support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Samba
3455 domain and maintaining user, group and domain SIDs.
3457 11) Support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
3460 12) Initial support for a distributed Winbind architecture using
3461 an LDAP directory for storing SID to uid/gid mappings.
3463 13) Major updates to the Samba documentation tree.
3465 14) Full support for client and server SMB signing to ensure
3466 compatibility with default Windows 2003 security settings.
3468 15) Improvement of ACL mapping features based on code donated by
3469 Andreas Grünbacher.
3472 Plus lots of other improvements!
3475 Additional Documentation
3476 ------------------------
3478 Please refer to Samba documentation tree (included in the docs/
3479 subdirectory) for extensive explanations of installing, configuring
3480 and maintaining Samba 3.0 servers and clients. It is advised to
3481 begin with the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for overviews and specific
3482 tasks (the current book is up to approximately 400 pages) and to
3483 refer to the various man pages for information on individual options.
3485 We are very glad to be able to include the second edition of
3486 "Using Samba" by Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown
3487 (O'Reilly & Associates) in this release. The book is available
3488 on-line at http://samba.org/samba/docs/ and is included with
3489 the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). Thanks to the authors and
3490 publisher for making "Using Samba" under the GNU Free Documentation
3494 ######################################################################
3495 Upgrading from a previous Samba 3.0 beta
3496 ########################################
3498 Beginning with Samba 3.0.0beta3, the RID allocation functions
3499 have been moved into winbindd. Previously these were handled
3500 by each passdb backend. This means that winbindd must be running
3501 to automatically allocate RIDs for users and/or groups. Otherwise,
3502 smbd will use the 2.2 algorithm for generating new RIDs.
3504 If you are using 'passdb backend = tdbsam' with a previous Samba
3505 3.0 beta release (or possibly alpha), it may be necessary to
3506 move the RID_COUNTER entry from /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
3507 to winbindd_idmap.tdb. To do this:
3509 1) Ensure that winbindd_idmap.tdb exists (launch winbindd at least
3511 2) build tdbtool by executing 'make tdbtool' in the source/tdb/
3513 3) run: (note that 'tdb>' is the tool's prompt for input)
3515 root# ./tdbtool /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
3516 tdb> show RID_COUNTER
3520 [000] 0A 52 00 00 .R.
3522 tdb> move RID_COUNTER /usr/local/samba/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb
3526 If you are using 'passdb backend = ldapsam', it will be necessary to
3527 store idmap entries in the LDAP directory as well (i.e. idmap backend
3528 = ldap). Refer to the 'net idmap' command for more information on
3529 migrating SID<->UNIX id mappings from one backend to another.
3531 If the RID_COUNTER record does not exist, then these instructions are
3532 unneccessary and the new RID_COUNTER record will be correctly generated

3712 This section contains brief descriptions of any new databases
3713 introduced in Samba 3.0. Please remember to backup your existing
3714 ${lock directory}/*tdb before upgrading to Samba 3.0. Samba will
3715 upgrade databases as they are opened (if necessary), but downgrading
3716 from 3.0 to 2.2 is an unsupported path.
3718 Name Description Backup?
3719 ---- ----------- -------
3720 account_policy User policy settings yes
3721 gencache Generic caching db no
3722 group_mapping Mapping table from Windows yes
3723 groups/SID to unix groups
3724 winbindd_idmap ID map table from SIDS to UNIX yes
3726 namecache Name resolution cache entries no
3727 netsamlogon_cache Cache of NET_USER_INFO_3 structure no
3728 returned as part of a successful

3731 command' created on a per print
3733 registry Read-only samba registry skeleton no
3734 that provides support for exporting
3735 various db tables via the winreg RPCs
3741 The following issues are known changes in behavior between Samba 2.2 and
3742 Samba 3.0 that may affect certain installations of Samba.
3744 1) When operating as a member of a Windows domain, Samba 2.2 would
3745 map any users authenticated by the remote DC to the 'guest account'
3746 if a uid could not be obtained via the getpwnam() call. Samba 3.0
3747 rejects the connection as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. There is no
3748 current work around to re-establish the 2.2 behavior.
3750 2) When adding machines to a Samba 2.2 controlled domain, the
3751 'add user script' was used to create the UNIX identity of the
3752 machine trust account. Samba 3.0 introduces a new 'add machine
3753 script' that must be specified for this purpose. Samba 3.0 will
3754 not fall back to using the 'add user script' in the absence of
3755 an 'add machine script'
3758 ######################################################################
3759 Passdb Backends and Authentication
3760 ##################################
3762 There have been a few new changes that Samba administrators should be
3763 aware of when moving to Samba 3.0.
3765 1) encrypted passwords have been enabled by default in order to
3766 inter-operate better with out-of-the-box Windows client
3767 installations. This does mean that either (a) a samba account
3768 must be created for each user, or (b) 'encrypt passwords = no'
3769 must be explicitly defined in smb.conf.
3771 2) Inclusion of new 'security = ads' option for integration
3772 with an Active Directory domain using the native Windows
3773 Kerberos 5 and LDAP protocols.
3775 MIT kerberos 1.3.1 supports the ARCFOUR-HMAC-MD5 encryption
3776 type which is neccessary for servers on which the
3777 administrator password has not been changed, or kerberos-enabled
3778 SMB connections to servers that require Kerberos SMB signing.
3779 Besides this one difference, either MIT or Heimdal Kerberos
3780 distributions are usable by Samba 3.0.
3783 Samba 3.0 also includes the possibility of setting up chains
3784 of authentication methods (auth methods) and account storage
3785 backends (passdb backend). Please refer to the smb.conf(5)
3786 man page for details. While both parameters assume sane default
3787 values, it is likely that you will need to understand what the
3788 values actually mean in order to ensure Samba operates correctly.
3790 The recommended passdb backends at this time are
3792 * smbpasswd - 2.2 compatible flat file format
3793 * tdbsam - attribute rich database intended as an smbpasswd
3794 replacement for stand alone servers
3795 * ldapsam - attribute rich account storage and retrieval
3796 backend utilizing an LDAP directory.
3797 * ldapsam_compat - a 2.2 backward compatible LDAP account
3800 Certain functions of the smbpasswd(8) tool have been split between the
3801 new smbpasswd(8) utility, the net(8) tool, and the new pdbedit(8)
3802 utility. See the respective man pages for details.
3805 ######################################################################
3809 This section outlines the new features affecting Samba / LDAP
3815 A new object class (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace
3816 the old sambaAccount. This change aids us in the renaming of
3817 attributes to prevent clashes with attributes from other vendors.
3818 There is a conversion script (examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to
3819 modify and LDIF file to the new schema.
3823 $ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." > sambaAcct.ldif
3824 $ convertSambaAccount --sid=<Domain SID> \
3825 --input=sambaAcct.ldif --output=sambaSamAcct.ldif \
3826 --changetype=[modify|add]
3828 The <DOM SID> can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid
3829 <DOMAINNAME>' on the Samba PDC as root. The changetype determines
3830 the format of the generated LDIF output--either create new entries
3831 or modify existing entries.
3833 The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
3834 "ldapsam_compat" passdb backend. However, the sambaAccount and
3835 associated attributes have been moved to the historical section of
3836 the schema file and must be uncommented before use if needed.
3837 The 2.2 object class declaration for a sambaAccount has not changed
3838 in the 3.0 samba.schema file.
3840 Other new object classes and their uses include:
3842 * sambaDomain - domain information used to allocate rids
3843 for users and groups as necessary. The attributes are added
3844 in 'ldap suffix' directory entry automatically if
3845 an idmap uid/gid range has been set and the 'ldapsam'
3846 passdb backend has been selected.
3848 * sambaGroupMapping - an object representing the
3849 relationship between a posixGroup and a Windows
3850 group/SID. These entries are stored in the 'ldap
3851 group suffix' and managed by the 'net groupmap' command.
3853 * sambaUnixIdPool - created in the 'ldap idmap suffix' entry
3854 automatically and contains the next available 'idmap uid' and
3857 * sambaIdmapEntry - object storing a mapping between a
3858 SID and a UNIX uid/gid. These objects are created by the
3859 idmap_ldap module as needed.
3861 * sambaSidEntry - object representing a SID alone, as a Structural
3862 class on which to build the sambaIdmapEntry.
3865 New Suffix for Searching
3866 ------------------------
3868 The following new smb.conf parameters have been added to aid in directing
3869 certain LDAP queries when 'passdb backend = ldapsam://...' has been
3872 * ldap suffix - used to search for user and computer accounts
3873 * ldap user suffix - used to store user accounts
3874 * ldap machine suffix - used to store machine trust accounts
3875 * ldap group suffix - location of posixGroup/sambaGroupMapping entries
3876 * ldap idmap suffix - location of sambaIdmapEntry objects
3878 If an 'ldap suffix' is defined, it will be appended to all of the
3879 remaining sub-suffix parameters. In this case, the order of the suffix
3880 listings in smb.conf is important. Always place the 'ldap suffix' first
3883 Due to a limitation in Samba's smb.conf parsing, you should not surround
3884 the DN's with quotation marks.
3890 Samba 3.0 supports an ldap backend for the idmap subsystem. The
3891 following options would inform Samba that the idmap table should be
3892 stored on the directory server onterose in the "ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,
3897 idmap backend = ldap:ldap://onterose/
3898 ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,dc=org
3899 idmap uid = 40000-50000
3900 idmap gid = 40000-50000
3902 This configuration allows winbind installations on multiple servers to
3903 share a uid/gid number space, thus avoiding the interoperability problems
3904 with NFS that were present in Samba 2.2.

3909 Trust Relationships and a Samba Domain
3910 ######################################
3912 Samba 3.0.0beta2 is able to utilize winbindd as the means of
3913 allocating uids and gids to trusted users and groups. More
3914 information regarding Samba's support for establishing trust
3915 relationships can be found in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection included
3916 in the docs/ directory of this release.
3918 First create your Samba PDC and ensure that everything is
3919 working correctly before moving on the trusts.
3921 To establish Samba as the trusting domain (named SAMBA) from a Windows NT
3922 4.0 domain named WINDOWS:
3924 1) create the trust account for SAMBA in "User Manager for Domains"
3925 2) connect the trust from the Samba domain using
3926 'net rpc trustdom establish GLASS'
3928 To create a trustlationship with SAMBA as the trusted domain:
3930 1) create the initial trust account for GLASS using
3931 'smbpasswd -a -i GLASS'. You may need to create a UNIX
3932 account for GLASS$ prior to this step (depending on your
3933 local configuration).
3934 2) connect the trust from a WINDOWS DC using "User Manager
3937 Now join winbindd on the Samba PDC to the SAMBA domain using
3938 the normal steps for adding a Samba server to an NT4 domain:
3939 (note that smbd & nmbd must be running at this point)
3941 root# net rpc join -U root
3942 Password: <enter root password from smbpasswd file here>
3944 Start winbindd and test the join with 'wbinfo -t'.
3946 Now test the trust relationship by connecting to the SAMBA DC
3947 (e.g. POGO) as a user from the WINDOWS domain:
3949 $ smbclient //pogo/netlogon -U Administrator -W WINDOWS
3952 Now connect to the WINDOWS DC (e.g. CRYSTAL) as a Samba user:
3954 $ smbclient //crystal/netlogon -U root -W WINDOWS
3957 ######################################################################
3961 Beginning with Samba3.0.0beta3, winbindd has been given new account
3962 manage functionality equivalent to the 'add user script' family of
3963 smb.conf parameters. The idmap design has also been changed to
3964 centralize control of foreign SID lookups and matching to UNIX
3968 Brief Description of Changes
3969 ----------------------------
3971 1) The sid_to_uid() family of functions (smbd/uid.c) have been
3972 reverted to the 2.2.x design. This means that when resolving a
3973 SID to a UID or similar mapping:
3975 a) First consult winbindd
3976 b) perform a local lookup only if winbindd fails to
3977 return a successful answer
3979 There are some variations to this, but these two rules generally
3982 2) All idmap lookups have been moved into winbindd. This means that
3983 a server must run winbindd (and support NSS) in order to achieve
3984 any mappings of SID to dynamically allocated UNIX ids. This was
3985 a conscious design choice.
3987 3) New functions have been added to winbindd to emulate the 'add user
3988 script' family of smbd functions without requiring that external
3989 scripts be defined. This functionality is controlled by the 'winbind
3990 enable local accounts' smb.conf parameter (enabled by default).
3992 However, this account management functionality is only supported
3993 in a local tdb (winbindd_idmap.tdb). If these new UNIX accounts
3994 must be shared among multiple Samba servers (such as a PDC and BDCs),
3995 it will be necessary to define your own 'add user script', et. al.
3996 programs that place the accounts/groups in some form of directory
3997 such as NIS or LDAP. This requirement was deemed beyond the scope
3998 of winbind's account management functions. Solutions for
3999 distributing UNIX system information have been deployed and tested
4000 for many years. We saw no need to reinvent the wheel.
4002 4) A member of a Samba controlled domain running winbindd is now able
4003 to map domain users directly onto existing UNIX accounts while still
4004 automatically creating accounts for trusted users and groups. This
4005 behavior is controlled by the 'winbind trusted domains only' smb.conf
4006 parameter (disabled by default to provide 2.2.x winbind behavior).
4008 5) Group mapping support is wrapped in the local_XX_to_XX() functions
4009 in smbd/uid.c. The reason that group mappings are not included
4010 in winbindd is because the purpose of Samba's group map is to
4011 match any Windows SID with an existing UNIX group. These UNIX
4012 groups can be created by winbindd (see next section), but the
4013 SID<->gid mapping is retreived by smbd, not winbindd.
4019 * security = server running winbindd to allocate accounts on demand
4021 * Samba PDC running winbindd to handle the automatic creation of UNIX
4022 identities for machine trust accounts
4024 * Automtically creating UNIX user and groups when migrating a Windows NT
4025 4.0 PDC to a Samba PDC. Winbindd must be running when executing
4026 'net rpc vampire' for this to work.
