169 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.12
171 ==============================
173 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.12 include:
175 o Winbind failures when using 'disable netbios = yes'
176 o Failure to establish a trust relationship via 'net rpc trust
178 o Various portability & compiler issues.
179 o Read only file deletion failure caused by new delete semantics
180 in Windows XP SP2 and the MS 04-044 security hotfix.
181 o Error messages from shared Excel workbooks residing on Samba
183 o Missing files in the output of smbclient -c 'dir' when run
184 against Windows file servers.
185 o Inability for Print Administrators to pause/resume/purge print
188 Additional features introduced in Samba 3.0.12:
190 o Performance enhancements when serving directories containing
191 large number of files.
192 o MS-DFS support added to smbclient.
193 o More performance improvements when using Samba/OpenLDAP based
194 DC's via the 'ldapsam:trusted=yes' option.
195 o Support for the Novell NDS universal password when using the
196 ldapsam passdb backend.
197 o New 'net rpc trustdom {add,del}' functionality to eventually
198 replace 'smbpasswd {-a,-x} -i'.
199 o New libsmbclient functionality.
203 =======================
204 Large Directory Support
205 =======================
207 Samba 3.0.12pre1 introduces a specific mechanism for dealing
208 with file services that frequently contain a large number of files
209 per directory. Historically Samba's performance has suffered
210 in such environments due to the translation from case
211 insensitive lookups by Windows client to the case sensitive
212 storage mechanisms used by UNIX filesystems.
214 Configuration details along with a short HOWTO can be found at:
216 http://www.samba.org/samba/ftp/HOWTO/Samba-LargeDirectory-HOWTO
219 ==================================
220 libsmbclient Binary Compatibility
221 ==================================
223 Please note that a change has been made to the _SMBCCTX structure
224 in source/include/libsmbclient.h. This change is not backwards
225 compatible with applications linked against the libsmbclient.so
226 library from Samba 3.0.11. However, it is compatible with all
227 other Samba 3.0.x releases. This means that it will be most likely
228 be necessary to recompile any applications linked against the
229 3.0.11 version of the library.

564 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.11
566 ==============================
568 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.11 include:
570 o Crash in smbd when using CUPS printing.
571 o Parsing error of other SIDs included in the user_info_3
572 structure returned from domain controllers.
573 o Inefficiencies when searching non-AD LDAP directories.
574 o Failure to expand variables in user domain attributes
575 in tdbsam and ldapsam.
577 o Failure to retrieve certain attribute when migrating from
578 a Windows DC to a Samba DC via 'net rpc vampire'.
579 o Numerous printing bugs bugs including memory
580 bloating on large/busy print servers.
581 o Compatibility issues with Exchange 5.5 SP4.
584 Additional features introduced in Samba 3.0.11:
586 o Winbindd performance improvements.
587 o More 'net rpc vampire' functionality.
588 o Support for the Windows privilege model to assign rights
590 o New administrative options to the 'net rpc' command.
597 If "ldap user suffix" or "ldap machine suffix" are defined in
598 smb.conf, all user-accounts must reside below the user suffix,
599 and all machine and inter-domain trust-accounts must be located
600 below the machine suffix. Previous Samba releases would fall
601 back to searching the 'ldap suffix' in some cases.
608 Samba 3.0.11 supports the following assignable rights
610 SeMachineAccountPrivilege Add machines to domain
611 SePrintOperatorPrivilege Manage printers
612 SeAddUsersPrivilege Add users and groups to the domain
613 SeRemoteShutdownPrivilege Force shutdown from a remote system
614 SeDiskOperatorPrivilege Manage disk shares
616 These rights can be assigned to arbitrary users or groups
617 via the 'net rpc rights grant/revoke' command. More details
618 of Samba's privilege implementation can be found in the
619 Samba-HOWTO-Collection.

1146 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.8
1148 =============================
1150 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.8 include:
1152 o Compile fixes for HP-UX
1153 o Fixes for the printer publishing code used when joined to
1155 o Incompatibilities with file system quotas.
1156 o Several bugs in the spoolss printing code and print system
1158 o Inconsistencies in the username map functionality when
1159 configured on domain member servers.
1160 o Various compile warnings and errors on various platforms.
1161 o Fixes for kerberos interoperability with Windows 200x
1162 domains when using DES keys.
1163 o Fix for CAN-2004-0930 -- smbd remote DoS vulnerability.
1164 o Fix for CAN-2004-0882 -- possible buffer overrun in smbd.
1167 New features included in the 3.0.8 release are:
1169 o New migration functionality added the the net tool
1170 for files/directories, printers, and shares.
1171 o New experimental idmap backend for assigning uids/gids
1172 directly based on the user/group RID when acting as a
1173 member of single domain without any trusts.
1174 o Additional printer migration support for XP/2003 platforms.
1177 ===========================
1178 Change in Winbindd Behavior
1179 ===========================
1181 All usernames returned by winbindd are now converted to lower
1182 case for better consistency. This means any winbind installation
1183 relying on the winbind username will need to rename existing
1184 directories and/or files based on the username (%u and %U) to lower
1185 case (e.g. mv $name `echo $name | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`). This may
1186 include mail spool files, home directories, valid user lines in
1190 ======================
1191 Change in Username Map
1192 ======================
1194 Previous Samba releases would only support reading the fully qualified
1195 username (e.g. DOMAIN\user) from the username map when performing a
1196 kerberos login from a client. However, when looking up a map
1197 entry for a user authenticated by NTLM[SSP], only the login name would be
1198 used for matches. This resulted in inconsistent behavior sometimes
1199 even on the same server.
1201 Samba 3.0.8 obeys the following rules when applying the username
1204 * When performing local authentication, the username map is
1205 applied to the login name before attempting to authenticate
1207 * When relying upon a external domain controller for validating
1208 authentication requests, smbd will apply the username map
1209 to the fully qualified username (i.e. DOMAIN\user) only
1210 after the user has been successfully authenticated.

1754 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.6
1756 =============================
1758 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.6 include:
1760 o Schannel failure in winbindd.
1761 o Numerous memory leaks.
1762 o Incompatibilities between the 'write list' and 'force user'
1764 o Premature optimization of the open_directory() internal
1765 function that broke tools such as the ArcServe backup
1766 agent, Macromedia HomeSite, and Robocopy.
1767 o Corrupt workgroup names in nmbd's browse.dat.
1768 o Sharing violation errors commonly seen when opening
1769 when serving Microsoft Office documents from a Samba
1771 o Browsing problems caused by an apostrophe (') in the
1772 computer's description field.
1773 o Problems creating special file types from UNIX CIFS
1774 clients and enabling 'unix extensions'.
1775 o Fix stalls in smbd caused by inaccessible LDAP servers.
1776 o Remove various memory leaks.
1777 o Fix issues in the password lockout feature.
1779 New features introduced in this release include:
1781 O Support symlinks created by CIFS clients which
1782 can be followed on the server.
1783 o Using a cups server other than localhost.
1784 o Maintaining the service principal entry in the system
1785 keytab for integration with other kerberized services.
1786 Please refer to the 'use kerberos keytab' entry in
1787 smb.conf(5). When using the heimdal kerberos libraries,
1788 you must also specify the following in /etc/krb5.conf:
1790 default_keytab_name = FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab
1791 o Support for maintaining individual printer names
1792 stored separately from the printer's sharename.
1793 o Support for maintaining user password history.
1794 o Support for honoring the logon times for user in a
1798 ============================================
1799 unix extensions = yes (default) and symlinks
1800 ============================================
1802 Beginning with Samba 3.0.6pre1 (formerly known as 3.0.5pre1),
1803 clients supporting the UNIX extensions to the CIFS protocol
1804 can create symlinks to absolute paths which will be **followed**
1805 by the server. This functionality has been requested in order
1806 to correctly support certain applications when the user's home
1807 directory is mounted using some type of CIFS client (e.g. the
1808 cifsvfs in the Linux 2.6 kernel).
1810 If this behavior is not acceptable for your production environment
1811 you can set 'wide links = no' in the specific share declaration in
1812 the server's smb.conf. Be aware that disabling wide link support
1813 out of a share in Samba may impact the server's performance due
1814 to the fact that smbd will now have to check each path additional
1815 times before traversing it.
1818 ========================
1819 Password History Support
1820 ========================
1822 The new password history feature allows smbd to check the new
1823 password in password change requests against a list of the user's
1824 previous passwords. The number of previous passwords to save can
1825 be set using pdbedit (4 in this example):
1827 root# pdbedit -P "password history" -C 4
1829 When using the ldapsam passdb backend, it is vital to secure the
1830 following attributes from access by non-administrative users:
1834 * sambaPasswordHistory
1836 You should refer to your directory server's documentation on how
1837 to implement this restriction.
1846 Parameter Name Action

2253 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.5
2255 =============================
2257 Please note that Samba 3.0.5 is identical to Samba 3.0.4 with
2258 the exception of correcting the two security issues outlined
2261 ######################## SECURITY RELEASE ########################
2263 Summary: Multiple Potential Buffer Overruns in Samba 3.0.x
2264 CVE ID: CAN-2004-0600, CAN-2004-0686
2265 (http://cve.mitre.org/)
2268 This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version
2269 that production Samba servers should be running for all current
2272 It has been confirmed that versions of Samba 3 prior to v3.0.4
2273 are vulnerable to two potential buffer overruns. The individual
2274 details are given below.
2280 Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.2 and later
2282 The internal routine used by the Samba Web Administration
2283 Tool (SWAT v3.0.2 and later) to decode the base64 data
2284 during HTTP basic authentication is subject to a buffer
2285 overrun caused by an invalid base64 character. It is
2286 recommended that all Samba v3.0.2 or later installations
2287 running SWAT either (a) upgrade to v3.0.5, or (b) disable
2288 the swat administration service as a temporary workaround.
2290 This same code is used internally to decode the
2291 sambaMungedDial attribute value when using the ldapsam
2292 passdb backend. While we do not believe that the base64
2293 decoding routines used by the ldapsam passdb backend can
2294 be exploited, sites using an LDAP directory service with
2295 Samba are strongly encouraged to verify that the DIT only
2296 allows write access to sambaSamAccount attributes by a
2297 sufficiently authorized user.
2299 The Samba Team would like to heartily thank Evgeny Demidov
2300 for analyzing and reporting this bug.
2306 Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.0 and later
2308 A buffer overrun has been located in the code used to support
2309 the 'mangling method = hash' smb.conf option. Please be aware
2310 that the default setting for this parameter is 'mangling method
2311 = hash2' and therefore not vulnerable.
2313 Affected Samba 3 installations can avoid this possible security
2314 bug by using the default hash2 mangling method. Server
2315 installations requiring the hash mangling method are encouraged
2316 to upgrade to Samba 3.0.5.

2889 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2a
2891 ==============================
2893 Samba 3.0.2a is a minor patch release for the 3.0.2 code base
2894 to address, in particular, a problem when using pdbedit to
2895 sanitize (--force-initialized-passwords) Samba's tdbsam
2896 backend. This is the latest stable release of Samba. This
2897 is the version that all production Samba servers should be
2898 running for all current bug-fixes.
2900 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
2902 Beginning with Samba 3.0.2, passwords for accounts with a last
2903 change time (LCT-XXX in smbpasswd, sambaPwdLastSet attribute in
2904 ldapsam, etc...) of zero (0) will be regarded as uninitialized
2905 strings. This will cause authentication to fail for such
2906 accounts. If you have valid passwords that meet this criteria,
2907 you must update the last change time to a non-zero value. If you
2908 do not, then 'pdbedit --force-initialized-passwords' will disable
2909 these accounts and reset the password hashes to a string of X's.
2911 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
2920 Please refer to the CVS log for the SAMBA_3_0 branch for complete
2921 details. The list of changes per contributor are as follows:
2924 o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
2925 * Added paranoia checks in parsing code.
2928 o Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org>
2929 * Ensure that changes to uninitialized passwords in ldapsam
2930 are written to the DIT.
2933 o Gerald (Jerry) Carter <jerry@samba.org>
2934 * Fixed iterator in tdbsam.
2935 * Fix bug that disabled accounts with a valid NT password
2936 hash, but no LanMan hash.
2939 o Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
2940 * Added missing nosetuid and noexec options.
2943 o Bostjan Golob <golob@gimb.org>
2944 * BUG 1046: Don't overwrite usernames of entries returned

2962 =============================
2963 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2
2965 =============================
2967 It has been confirmed that previous versions of Samba 3.0 are
2968 susceptible to a password initialization bug that could grant an
2969 attacker unauthorized access to a user account created by the
2970 mksmbpasswd.sh shell script.
2972 The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
2973 has assigned the name CAN-2004-0082 to this issue.
2975 Samba administrators not wishing to upgrade to the current
2976 version should download the 3.0.2 release, build the pdbedit
2979 root# pdbedit-3.0.2 --force-initialized-passwords
2981 This will disable all accounts not possessing a valid password
2982 (e.g. the password field has been set a string of X's).
2984 Samba servers running 3.0.2 are not vulnerable to this bug
2985 regardless of whether or not pdbedit has been used to sanitize
2988 Some of the more visible bugs in 3.0.1 addressed in the 3.0.2
2991 o Joining a Samba domain from Pre-SP2 Windows 2000 clients.
2992 o Logging onto a Samba domain from Windows XP clients.
2993 o Problems with the %U and %u smb.conf variables in relation to
2994 Windows 9x/ME clients.
2995 o Kerberos failures due to an invalid in memory keytab detection
2997 o Updates to the ntlm_auth tool.
2998 o Fixes for various SMB signing errors.
2999 o Better separation of WINS and DNS queries for domain controllers.
3000 o Issues with nss_winbind FreeBSD and Solaris.
3001 o Several crash bugs in smbd and winbindd.
3002 o Output formatting fixes for smbclient for better compatibility
3003 with scripts based on the 2.2 version.

3445 suffix. It's not needed and provides inconsistent functionality
3446 from the tdb backend.
3447 o Patch to handle munged dial string for Windows 2000 TSE.
3448 Thanks to Gaz de France, Direction de la Recherche, Service
3449 Informatique Métier for their supporting this work by Aurelien

3471 o Make sure we only enumerate group mapping entries (not
3472 /etc/group) even when doing local aliases.
3473 o Relax check on the pipe name in a dce/rpc bind response to work
3474 around issues with establishing trusts to a Windows 2003 domain.
3475 o Ensure we mangle names ending in '.' in hash2 mangling method.
3476 o Correct parsing issues with munged dial string.
3477 o Fix bugs in quota support for XFS.
3478 o Add a cleaner method for applications that need to provide

3480 know the winbindd pipe protocol.
3481 o Adds a variant of the winbindd_getgroups() call called
3482 winbindd_getusersids() that provides direct SID->SIDs listing of
3483 a users supplementary groups. This is enough to allow non-Samba
3484 applications to do ACL checking.
3485 o Make sure we don't append the 'ldap suffix' when writing out the
3486 'ldap XXX suffix' values in SWAT (bug 328).
3487 o Fix renames across file systems.

3573 ######################################################################
3575 The original 3.0.0 release notes follow
3576 =======================================
3577 WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.0
3579 =======================================
3585 1) Active Directory support. Samba 3.0 is now able to
3586 join a ADS realm as a member server and authenticate
3587 users using LDAP/Kerberos.
3589 2) Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate UNICODE on the wire
3590 and internally there is now a much better infrastructure for
3591 multi-byte and UNICODE character sets.
3593 3) New authentication system. The internal authentication system
3594 has been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are
3595 internal, but the new auth system is also very configurable.
3597 4) New default filename mangling system.
3599 5) A new "net" command has been added. It is somewhat similar to
3600 the "net" command in windows. Eventually we plan to replace
3601 numerous other utilities (such as smbpasswd) with subcommands
3604 6) Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
3605 improves error handling a lot.
3607 7) Better Windows 2000/XP/2003 printing support including publishing
3608 printer attributes in active directory.
3610 8) New loadable module support for passdb backends and character
3613 9) New default dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance.
3615 10) Support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Samba
3616 domain and maintaining user, group and domain SIDs.
3618 11) Support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
3621 12) Initial support for a distributed Winbind architecture using
3622 an LDAP directory for storing SID to uid/gid mappings.
3624 13) Major updates to the Samba documentation tree.
3626 14) Full support for client and server SMB signing to ensure
3627 compatibility with default Windows 2003 security settings.
3629 15) Improvement of ACL mapping features based on code donated by
3630 Andreas Grünbacher.
3633 Plus lots of other improvements!
3636 Additional Documentation
3637 ------------------------
3639 Please refer to Samba documentation tree (included in the docs/
3640 subdirectory) for extensive explanations of installing, configuring
3641 and maintaining Samba 3.0 servers and clients. It is advised to
3642 begin with the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for overviews and specific
3643 tasks (the current book is up to approximately 400 pages) and to
3644 refer to the various man pages for information on individual options.
3646 We are very glad to be able to include the second edition of
3647 "Using Samba" by Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown
3648 (O'Reilly & Associates) in this release. The book is available
3649 on-line at http://samba.org/samba/docs/ and is included with
3650 the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). Thanks to the authors and
3651 publisher for making "Using Samba" under the GNU Free Documentation
3655 ######################################################################
3656 Upgrading from a previous Samba 3.0 beta
3657 ########################################
3659 Beginning with Samba 3.0.0beta3, the RID allocation functions
3660 have been moved into winbindd. Previously these were handled
3661 by each passdb backend. This means that winbindd must be running
3662 to automatically allocate RIDs for users and/or groups. Otherwise,
3663 smbd will use the 2.2 algorithm for generating new RIDs.
3665 If you are using 'passdb backend = tdbsam' with a previous Samba
3666 3.0 beta release (or possibly alpha), it may be necessary to
3667 move the RID_COUNTER entry from /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
3668 to winbindd_idmap.tdb. To do this:
3670 1) Ensure that winbindd_idmap.tdb exists (launch winbindd at least
3672 2) build tdbtool by executing 'make tdbtool' in the source/tdb/
3674 3) run: (note that 'tdb>' is the tool's prompt for input)
3676 root# ./tdbtool /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
3677 tdb> show RID_COUNTER
3681 [000] 0A 52 00 00 .R.
3683 tdb> move RID_COUNTER /usr/local/samba/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb
3687 If you are using 'passdb backend = ldapsam', it will be necessary to
3688 store idmap entries in the LDAP directory as well (i.e. idmap backend
3689 = ldap). Refer to the 'net idmap' command for more information on
3690 migrating SID<->UNIX id mappings from one backend to another.
3692 If the RID_COUNTER record does not exist, then these instructions are
3693 unneccessary and the new RID_COUNTER record will be correctly generated

3873 This section contains brief descriptions of any new databases
3874 introduced in Samba 3.0. Please remember to backup your existing
3875 ${lock directory}/*tdb before upgrading to Samba 3.0. Samba will
3876 upgrade databases as they are opened (if necessary), but downgrading
3877 from 3.0 to 2.2 is an unsupported path.

3902 The following issues are known changes in behavior between Samba 2.2 and
3903 Samba 3.0 that may affect certain installations of Samba.
3905 1) When operating as a member of a Windows domain, Samba 2.2 would
3906 map any users authenticated by the remote DC to the 'guest account'
3907 if a uid could not be obtained via the getpwnam() call. Samba 3.0
3908 rejects the connection as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. There is no
3909 current work around to re-establish the 2.2 behavior.
3911 2) When adding machines to a Samba 2.2 controlled domain, the
3912 'add user script' was used to create the UNIX identity of the
3913 machine trust account. Samba 3.0 introduces a new 'add machine
3914 script' that must be specified for this purpose. Samba 3.0 will
3915 not fall back to using the 'add user script' in the absence of
3916 an 'add machine script'
3919 ######################################################################
3920 Passdb Backends and Authentication
3921 ##################################
3923 There have been a few new changes that Samba administrators should be
3924 aware of when moving to Samba 3.0.
3926 1) encrypted passwords have been enabled by default in order to
3927 inter-operate better with out-of-the-box Windows client
3928 installations. This does mean that either (a) a samba account
3929 must be created for each user, or (b) 'encrypt passwords = no'
3930 must be explicitly defined in smb.conf.
3932 2) Inclusion of new 'security = ads' option for integration
3933 with an Active Directory domain using the native Windows
3934 Kerberos 5 and LDAP protocols.
3936 MIT kerberos 1.3.1 supports the ARCFOUR-HMAC-MD5 encryption
3937 type which is neccessary for servers on which the
3938 administrator password has not been changed, or kerberos-enabled
3939 SMB connections to servers that require Kerberos SMB signing.
3940 Besides this one difference, either MIT or Heimdal Kerberos
3941 distributions are usable by Samba 3.0.
3944 Samba 3.0 also includes the possibility of setting up chains
3945 of authentication methods (auth methods) and account storage
3946 backends (passdb backend). Please refer to the smb.conf(5)
3947 man page for details. While both parameters assume sane default
3948 values, it is likely that you will need to understand what the
3949 values actually mean in order to ensure Samba operates correctly.
3951 The recommended passdb backends at this time are
3953 * smbpasswd - 2.2 compatible flat file format
3954 * tdbsam - attribute rich database intended as an smbpasswd
3955 replacement for stand alone servers
3956 * ldapsam - attribute rich account storage and retrieval
3957 backend utilizing an LDAP directory.
3958 * ldapsam_compat - a 2.2 backward compatible LDAP account
3961 Certain functions of the smbpasswd(8) tool have been split between the
3962 new smbpasswd(8) utility, the net(8) tool, and the new pdbedit(8)
3963 utility. See the respective man pages for details.
3966 ######################################################################
3970 This section outlines the new features affecting Samba / LDAP
3976 A new object class (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace
3977 the old sambaAccount. This change aids us in the renaming of
3978 attributes to prevent clashes with attributes from other vendors.
3979 There is a conversion script (examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to
3980 modify and LDIF file to the new schema.
3984 $ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." > sambaAcct.ldif
3985 $ convertSambaAccount --sid=<Domain SID> \
3986 --input=sambaAcct.ldif --output=sambaSamAcct.ldif \
3987 --changetype=[modify|add]
3989 The <DOM SID> can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid
3990 <DOMAINNAME>' on the Samba PDC as root. The changetype determines
3991 the format of the generated LDIF output--either create new entries
3992 or modify existing entries.
3994 The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
3995 "ldapsam_compat" passdb backend. However, the sambaAccount and
3996 associated attributes have been moved to the historical section of
3997 the schema file and must be uncommented before use if needed.
3998 The 2.2 object class declaration for a sambaAccount has not changed
3999 in the 3.0 samba.schema file.
4001 Other new object classes and their uses include:
4003 * sambaDomain - domain information used to allocate rids
4004 for users and groups as necessary. The attributes are added
4005 in 'ldap suffix' directory entry automatically if
4006 an idmap uid/gid range has been set and the 'ldapsam'
4007 passdb backend has been selected.
4009 * sambaGroupMapping - an object representing the
4010 relationship between a posixGroup and a Windows
4011 group/SID. These entries are stored in the 'ldap
4012 group suffix' and managed by the 'net groupmap' command.
4014 * sambaUnixIdPool - created in the 'ldap idmap suffix' entry
4015 automatically and contains the next available 'idmap uid' and
4018 * sambaIdmapEntry - object storing a mapping between a
4019 SID and a UNIX uid/gid. These objects are created by the
4020 idmap_ldap module as needed.
4022 * sambaSidEntry - object representing a SID alone, as a Structural
4023 class on which to build the sambaIdmapEntry.
4026 New Suffix for Searching
4027 ------------------------
4029 The following new smb.conf parameters have been added to aid in directing
4030 certain LDAP queries when 'passdb backend = ldapsam://...' has been
4033 * ldap suffix - used to search for user and computer accounts
4034 * ldap user suffix - used to store user accounts
4035 * ldap machine suffix - used to store machine trust accounts
4036 * ldap group suffix - location of posixGroup/sambaGroupMapping entries
4037 * ldap idmap suffix - location of sambaIdmapEntry objects
4039 If an 'ldap suffix' is defined, it will be appended to all of the
4040 remaining sub-suffix parameters. In this case, the order of the suffix
4041 listings in smb.conf is important. Always place the 'ldap suffix' first
4044 Due to a limitation in Samba's smb.conf parsing, you should not surround
4045 the DN's with quotation marks.
4051 Samba 3.0 supports an ldap backend for the idmap subsystem. The
4052 following options would inform Samba that the idmap table should be
4053 stored on the directory server onterose in the "ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,
4058 idmap backend = ldap:ldap://onterose/
4059 ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,dc=org
4060 idmap uid = 40000-50000
4061 idmap gid = 40000-50000
4063 This configuration allows winbind installations on multiple servers to
4064 share a uid/gid number space, thus avoiding the interoperability problems
4065 with NFS that were present in Samba 2.2.
4069 ######################################################################
4070 Trust Relationships and a Samba Domain
4071 ######################################
4073 Samba 3.0.0beta2 is able to utilize winbindd as the means of
4074 allocating uids and gids to trusted users and groups. More
4075 information regarding Samba's support for establishing trust
4076 relationships can be found in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection included
4077 in the docs/ directory of this release.
4079 First create your Samba PDC and ensure that everything is
4080 working correctly before moving on the trusts.
4082 To establish Samba as the trusting domain (named SAMBA) from a Windows NT
4083 4.0 domain named WINDOWS:
4085 1) create the trust account for SAMBA in "User Manager for Domains"
4086 2) connect the trust from the Samba domain using
4087 'net rpc trustdom establish GLASS'
4089 To create a trustlationship with SAMBA as the trusted domain:
4091 1) create the initial trust account for GLASS using
4092 'smbpasswd -a -i GLASS'. You may need to create a UNIX
4093 account for GLASS$ prior to this step (depending on your
4094 local configuration).
4095 2) connect the trust from a WINDOWS DC using "User Manager
4098 Now join winbindd on the Samba PDC to the SAMBA domain using
4099 the normal steps for adding a Samba server to an NT4 domain:
4100 (note that smbd & nmbd must be running at this point)
4102 root# net rpc join -U root
4103 Password: <enter root password from smbpasswd file here>
4105 Start winbindd and test the join with 'wbinfo -t'.
4107 Now test the trust relationship by connecting to the SAMBA DC
4108 (e.g. POGO) as a user from the WINDOWS domain:
4110 $ smbclient //pogo/netlogon -U Administrator -W WINDOWS
4113 Now connect to the WINDOWS DC (e.g. CRYSTAL) as a Samba user:
4115 $ smbclient //crystal/netlogon -U root -W WINDOWS
4118 ######################################################################
4122 Beginning with Samba3.0.0beta3, winbindd has been given new account
4123 manage functionality equivalent to the 'add user script' family of
4124 smb.conf parameters. The idmap design has also been changed to
4125 centralize control of foreign SID lookups and matching to UNIX
4129 Brief Description of Changes
4130 ----------------------------
4132 1) The sid_to_uid() family of functions (smbd/uid.c) have been
4133 reverted to the 2.2.x design. This means that when resolving a
4134 SID to a UID or similar mapping:
4136 a) First consult winbindd
4137 b) perform a local lookup only if winbindd fails to
4138 return a successful answer
4140 There are some variations to this, but these two rules generally
4143 2) All idmap lookups have been moved into winbindd. This means that
4144 a server must run winbindd (and support NSS) in order to achieve
4145 any mappings of SID to dynamically allocated UNIX ids. This was
4146 a conscious design choice.
4148 3) New functions have been added to winbindd to emulate the 'add user
4149 script' family of smbd functions without requiring that external
4150 scripts be defined. This functionality is controlled by the 'winbind
4151 enable local accounts' smb.conf parameter (enabled by default).
4153 However, this account management functionality is only supported
4154 in a local tdb (winbindd_idmap.tdb). If these new UNIX accounts
4155 must be shared among multiple Samba servers (such as a PDC and BDCs),
4156 it will be necessary to define your own 'add user script', et. al.
4157 programs that place the accounts/groups in some form of directory
4158 such as NIS or LDAP. This requirement was deemed beyond the scope
4159 of winbind's account management functions. Solutions for
4160 distributing UNIX system information have been deployed and tested
4161 for many years. We saw no need to reinvent the wheel.
4163 4) A member of a Samba controlled domain running winbindd is now able
4164 to map domain users directly onto existing UNIX accounts while still
4165 automatically creating accounts for trusted users and groups. This
4166 behavior is controlled by the 'winbind trusted domains only' smb.conf
4167 parameter (disabled by default to provide 2.2.x winbind behavior).
4169 5) Group mapping support is wrapped in the local_XX_to_XX() functions
4170 in smbd/uid.c. The reason that group mappings are not included
4171 in winbindd is because the purpose of Samba's group map is to
4172 match any Windows SID with an existing UNIX group. These UNIX
4173 groups can be created by winbindd (see next section), but the
4174 SID<->gid mapping is retreived by smbd, not winbindd.
4180 * security = server running winbindd to allocate accounts on demand
4182 * Samba PDC running winbindd to handle the automatic creation of UNIX
4183 identities for machine trust accounts
4185 * Automtically creating UNIX user and groups when migrating a Windows NT
4186 4.0 PDC to a Samba PDC. Winbindd must be running when executing
4187 'net rpc vampire' for this to work.
