2 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.5pre1
3 May 25, 2004
4 =================================
7 This is a preview release of the Samba 3.0.5 code base and is
8 provided for testing only. This release is *not* intended for
9 production servers. Use at your own risk.
11 There have been several bug fixes since the 3.0.4 release that
12 we feel are important to make available to the Samba community
13 for wider testings. See the "Changes" section for details on
14 exact updates.
16 Common bugs fixed in this preview release include:
18 o Schannel failure in winbindd.
19 o Numerous memory leaks.
20 o Incompatibilities between the 'write list' and 'force user'
21 smb.conf options.
22 o Premature optimization of the open_directory() internal
23 function that broke tools such as the ArcServe backup
24 agent, Macromedia HomeSite, and Robocopy.
27 ATTENTION! NEW BEHAVIOR!
28 -------------------------
30 Beginning with Samba 3.0.5pre1, clients supporting the UNIX
31 extensions to the CIFS protocol can create symlinks to
32 absolute paths which will be **followed** by the server. This
33 functionality has been requested in order to correctly support
34 certain applications when the user's home directory is mounted
35 using some type of CIFS client (e.g. the cifsvfs in the Linux
36 2.6 kernel).
38 If this behavior is not acceptable for your production environment
39 you can set 'wide links = no' in the specific share declaration in
40 the server's smb.conf. Be aware that disabling wide link support
41 out of a share in Samba may impact the server's performance due
42 to the fact that smbd will now have to check each path additional
43 times before traversing it.

745 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2a
746 February 13, 2004
747 ==============================
749 Samba 3.0.2a is a minor patch release for the 3.0.2 code base
750 to address, in particular, a problem when using pdbedit to
751 sanitize (--force-initialized-passwords) Samba's tdbsam
752 backend. This is the latest stable release of Samba. This
753 is the version that all production Samba servers should be
754 running for all current bug-fixes.
756 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
758 Beginning with Samba 3.0.2, passwords for accounts with a last
759 change time (LCT-XXX in smbpasswd, sambaPwdLastSet attribute in
760 ldapsam, etc...) of zero (0) will be regarded as uninitialized
761 strings. This will cause authentication to fail for such
762 accounts. If you have valid passwords that meet this criteria,
763 you must update the last change time to a non-zero value. If you
764 do not, then 'pdbedit --force-initialized-passwords' will disable
765 these accounts and reset the password hashes to a string of X's.
767 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
770 Changes since 3.0.2

819 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2
820 February 9, 2004
821 =============================
823 It has been confirmed that previous versions of Samba 3.0 are
824 susceptible to a password initialization bug that could grant an
825 attacker unauthorized access to a user account created by the
826 mksmbpasswd.sh shell script.
828 The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
829 has assigned the name CAN-2004-0082 to this issue.
831 Samba administrators not wishing to upgrade to the current
832 version should download the 3.0.2 release, build the pdbedit
833 tool, and run
835 root# pdbedit-3.0.2 --force-initialized-passwords
837 This will disable all accounts not possessing a valid password
838 (e.g. the password field has been set a string of X's).
840 Samba servers running 3.0.2 are not vulnerable to this bug
841 regardless of whether or not pdbedit has been used to sanitize
842 the passdb backend.
844 Some of the more visible bugs in 3.0.1 addressed in the 3.0.2
845 release include:
847 o Joining a Samba domain from Pre-SP2 Windows 2000 clients.
848 o Logging onto a Samba domain from Windows XP clients.
849 o Problems with the %U and %u smb.conf variables in relation to
850 Windows 9x/ME clients.
851 o Kerberos failures due to an invalid in memory keytab detection
852 test.
853 o Updates to the ntlm_auth tool.
854 o Fixes for various SMB signing errors.
855 o Better separation of WINS and DNS queries for domain controllers.
856 o Issues with nss_winbind FreeBSD and Solaris.
857 o Several crash bugs in smbd and winbindd.
858 o Output formatting fixes for smbclient for better compatibility
859 with scripts based on the 2.2 version.

1200 libraries were found for $BACKEND.
1201 o Move sysquotas autoconf tests to a separate file.
1202 o Match W2K w.r.t. writelock and writeclose. Samba4 torture
1203 tester

1297 the local IP address to which a client connected.
1298 o Allow winbindd to match local accounts to domain SID when
1299 'winbind trusted domains only = yes' (bug 680).
1300 o Remove code in idmap_ldap that searches the user suffix and group
1301 suffix. It's not needed and provides inconsistent functionality
1302 from the tdb backend.
1303 o Patch to handle munged dial string for Windows 2000 TSE.
1304 Thanks to Gaz de France, Direction de la Recherche, Service
1305 Informatique Métier for their supporting this work by Aurelien

1320 monitor used by Windows NT and later clients (bug 660).
1321 o Fix several reported problems with point-n-print from
1322 Windows 2000/XP clients due to a bug in the EnumPrinterDataEx()
1323 reply (bug 338, 527 & 643).
1324 o Fix a handful of potential memory leaks in the LDAP code used
1325 by ldapsam[_compat] and the LDAP idmap backend.
1326 o Fix for pdbedit error code returns (bug 763).
1327 o Make sure we only enumerate group mapping entries (not
1328 /etc/group) even when doing local aliases.
1329 o Relax check on the pipe name in a dce/rpc bind response to work
1330 around issues with establishing trusts to a Windows 2003 domain.
1331 o Ensure we mangle names ending in '.' in hash2 mangling method.
1332 o Correct parsing issues with munged dial string.
1333 o Fix bugs in quota support for XFS.
1334 o Add a cleaner method for applications that need to provide
1335 name->SID mappings to do this via NSS rather than having to
1336 know the winbindd pipe protocol.
1337 o Adds a variant of the winbindd_getgroups() call called
1338 winbindd_getusersids() that provides direct SID->SIDs listing of
1339 a users supplementary groups. This is enough to allow non-Samba
1340 applications to do ACL checking.
1341 o Make sure we don't append the 'ldap suffix' when writing out the
1342 'ldap XXX suffix' values in SWAT (bug 328).
1343 o Fix renames across file systems.
1344 o Ensure that items in a list of strings containing whitespace are
1345 written out surrounded by single quotes. This means that both
1346 double and single quotes are now used to surround strings in
1347 smb.conf (bug 481).
1348 o Enable SWAT to correctly determine if winbindd is running (bug
1349 398).
1350 o Include WWW-Authenticate field in 401 response for bad auth
1351 attempt (bug 629).

1361 authentication.
1362 o Change the name of the job passed off to cups from "Test Page"
1363 to "smbprn.00000033 Test Page" so that we can get the smb
1364 jobid back. This allow users to delete jobs with cups printing
1365 backend (partial work on bug 770).
1366 o Fix build of winbindd with static pdb modules.
1367 o Retrieve the correct ACL group bits if the file has an ACL
1368 (bug 802).
1369 o Implement "net rpc group members": Get members of a domain group
1370 in human-readable format.
1371 o Add MacOSX (Darwin) specific charset module code.
1372 o Use samr_dispinfo(level == 1) for enumerating domain users so we
1373 can include the full name in gecos field (bug 587).
1374 o Add support for winbind's NSS library on FeeeBSD 5.1 (bug 797).
1375 o Implement 'net rpc group list [global|local|builtin]*' for a
1376 select listing of the respective user databases.
1377 o Don't automatically set NT status code flag unless client tells
1378 us it can cope.
1379 o Add 'net status [sessions|shares] [parseable]'.
1380 o Don't mistake pre-existing UNIX jobs for smb jobs (remainder of
1381 bug 770).
1382 o Add 'Replicator' and 'RAS Servers' to list of builtin SIDs
1383 (bug 608).
1384 o Fix inverted logic in hosts allow/deny checks caused by
1385 s/strcmp/strequal/ (bug 846).
1386 o Implement correct version SamrRemoveSidForeignDomain() (bug 252).
1387 o Fix typo in 'hash' mangling algorithm.
1388 o Support munged dial for ldapsam (bug 800).
1389 o Fix process_incoming_data() to return the number of bytes handled
1390 this call whether we have a complete PDU or not; fixes bug
1391 with multiple PDU request rpc's broken over SMBwriteX calls
1392 each.
1393 o Fix incorrect smb flags2 for connections to pre-NT servers
1394 (causes smbclient to fail to OS2 for example) (bug 821).

1431 The original 3.0.0 release notes follow
1432 =======================================
1433 WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.0
1434 September 24, 2003
1435 =======================================
1438 Major new features:
1439 -------------------
1441 1) Active Directory support. Samba 3.0 is now able to
1442 join a ADS realm as a member server and authenticate
1443 users using LDAP/Kerberos.
1445 2) Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate UNICODE on the wire
1446 and internally there is now a much better infrastructure for
1447 multi-byte and UNICODE character sets.
1449 3) New authentication system. The internal authentication system
1450 has been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are
1451 internal, but the new auth system is also very configurable.
1453 4) New default filename mangling system.
1455 5) A new "net" command has been added. It is somewhat similar to
1456 the "net" command in windows. Eventually we plan to replace
1457 numerous other utilities (such as smbpasswd) with subcommands
1458 in "net".
1460 6) Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
1461 improves error handling a lot.
1463 7) Better Windows 2000/XP/2003 printing support including publishing
1464 printer attributes in active directory.
1466 8) New loadable module support for passdb backends and character
1467 sets.
1469 9) New default dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance.
1471 10) Support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Samba
1472 domain and maintaining user, group and domain SIDs.
1474 11) Support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
1475 domain controllers.
1477 12) Initial support for a distributed Winbind architecture using
1478 an LDAP directory for storing SID to uid/gid mappings.
1480 13) Major updates to the Samba documentation tree.
1482 14) Full support for client and server SMB signing to ensure
1483 compatibility with default Windows 2003 security settings.
1485 15) Improvement of ACL mapping features based on code donated by
1486 Andreas Grünbacher.
1489 Plus lots of other improvements!
1492 Additional Documentation
1493 ------------------------
1495 Please refer to Samba documentation tree (included in the docs/
1496 subdirectory) for extensive explanations of installing, configuring
1497 and maintaining Samba 3.0 servers and clients. It is advised to
1498 begin with the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for overviews and specific
1499 tasks (the current book is up to approximately 400 pages) and to
1500 refer to the various man pages for information on individual options.
1502 We are very glad to be able to include the second edition of
1503 "Using Samba" by Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown
1504 (O'Reilly & Associates) in this release. The book is available
1505 on-line at http://samba.org/samba/docs/ and is included with
1506 the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). Thanks to the authors and
1507 publisher for making "Using Samba" under the GNU Free Documentation
1508 License.
1511 ######################################################################
1512 Upgrading from a previous Samba 3.0 beta
1513 ########################################
1515 Beginning with Samba 3.0.0beta3, the RID allocation functions
1516 have been moved into winbindd. Previously these were handled
1517 by each passdb backend. This means that winbindd must be running
1518 to automatically allocate RIDs for users and/or groups. Otherwise,
1519 smbd will use the 2.2 algorithm for generating new RIDs.
1521 If you are using 'passdb backend = tdbsam' with a previous Samba
1522 3.0 beta release (or possibly alpha), it may be necessary to
1523 move the RID_COUNTER entry from /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
1524 to winbindd_idmap.tdb. To do this:
1526 1) Ensure that winbindd_idmap.tdb exists (launch winbindd at least
1527 once)
1528 2) build tdbtool by executing 'make tdbtool' in the source/tdb/
1529 directory
1530 3) run: (note that 'tdb>' is the tool's prompt for input)
1532 root# ./tdbtool /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
1533 tdb> show RID_COUNTER
1534 key 12 bytes
1535 RID_COUNTER
1536 data 4 bytes
1537 [000] 0A 52 00 00 .R.
1539 tdb> move RID_COUNTER /usr/local/samba/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb
1540 ....
1541 record moved
1543 If you are using 'passdb backend = ldapsam', it will be necessary to
1544 store idmap entries in the LDAP directory as well (i.e. idmap backend
1545 = ldap). Refer to the 'net idmap' command for more information on
1546 migrating SID<->UNIX id mappings from one backend to another.
1548 If the RID_COUNTER record does not exist, then these instructions are
1549 unneccessary and the new RID_COUNTER record will be correctly generated
1550 if needed.

1733 from 3.0 to 2.2 is an unsupported path.
1735 Name Description Backup?
1736 ---- ----------- -------
1737 account_policy User policy settings yes
1738 gencache Generic caching db no
1739 group_mapping Mapping table from Windows yes
1740 groups/SID to unix groups
1741 winbindd_idmap ID map table from SIDS to UNIX yes
1742 uids/gids.
1743 namecache Name resolution cache entries no
1744 netsamlogon_cache Cache of NET_USER_INFO_3 structure no
1745 returned as part of a successful
1746 net_sam_logon request
1747 printing/*.tdb Cached output from 'lpq no
1748 command' created on a per print
1749 service basis
1750 registry Read-only samba registry skeleton no
1751 that provides support for exporting
1752 various db tables via the winreg RPCs
1755 Changes in Behavior
1756 -------------------
1758 The following issues are known changes in behavior between Samba 2.2 and
1759 Samba 3.0 that may affect certain installations of Samba.
1761 1) When operating as a member of a Windows domain, Samba 2.2 would
1762 map any users authenticated by the remote DC to the 'guest account'
1763 if a uid could not be obtained via the getpwnam() call. Samba 3.0
1764 rejects the connection as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. There is no
1765 current work around to re-establish the 2.2 behavior.
1767 2) When adding machines to a Samba 2.2 controlled domain, the
1768 'add user script' was used to create the UNIX identity of the
1769 machine trust account. Samba 3.0 introduces a new 'add machine
1770 script' that must be specified for this purpose. Samba 3.0 will
1771 not fall back to using the 'add user script' in the absence of
1772 an 'add machine script'
1775 ######################################################################
1776 Passdb Backends and Authentication
1777 ##################################
1779 There have been a few new changes that Samba administrators should be
1780 aware of when moving to Samba 3.0.
1782 1) encrypted passwords have been enabled by default in order to
1783 inter-operate better with out-of-the-box Windows client
1784 installations. This does mean that either (a) a samba account
1785 must be created for each user, or (b) 'encrypt passwords = no'
1786 must be explicitly defined in smb.conf.
1788 2) Inclusion of new 'security = ads' option for integration
1789 with an Active Directory domain using the native Windows
1790 Kerberos 5 and LDAP protocols.
1792 MIT kerberos 1.3.1 supports the ARCFOUR-HMAC-MD5 encryption
1793 type which is neccessary for servers on which the
1794 administrator password has not been changed, or kerberos-enabled
1795 SMB connections to servers that require Kerberos SMB signing.
1796 Besides this one difference, either MIT or Heimdal Kerberos
1797 distributions are usable by Samba 3.0.
1800 Samba 3.0 also includes the possibility of setting up chains
1801 of authentication methods (auth methods) and account storage
1802 backends (passdb backend). Please refer to the smb.conf(5)
1803 man page for details. While both parameters assume sane default
1804 values, it is likely that you will need to understand what the
1805 values actually mean in order to ensure Samba operates correctly.
1807 The recommended passdb backends at this time are
1809 * smbpasswd - 2.2 compatible flat file format
1810 * tdbsam - attribute rich database intended as an smbpasswd
1811 replacement for stand alone servers
1812 * ldapsam - attribute rich account storage and retrieval
1813 backend utilizing an LDAP directory.
1814 * ldapsam_compat - a 2.2 backward compatible LDAP account
1815 backend
1817 Certain functions of the smbpasswd(8) tool have been split between the
1818 new smbpasswd(8) utility, the net(8) tool, and the new pdbedit(8)
1819 utility. See the respective man pages for details.

1823 LDAP
1824 ####
1826 This section outlines the new features affecting Samba / LDAP
1827 integration.
1829 New Schema
1830 ----------
1832 A new object class (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace
1833 the old sambaAccount. This change aids us in the renaming of
1834 attributes to prevent clashes with attributes from other vendors.
1835 There is a conversion script (examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to
1836 modify and LDIF file to the new schema.
1838 Example:
1840 $ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." > sambaAcct.ldif
1841 $ convertSambaAccount --sid=<Domain SID> \
1842 --input=sambaAcct.ldif --output=sambaSamAcct.ldif \
1843 --changetype=[modify|add]
1845 The <DOM SID> can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid
1846 <DOMAINNAME>' on the Samba PDC as root. The changetype determines
1847 the format of the generated LDIF output--either create new entries
1848 or modify existing entries.
1850 The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
1851 "ldapsam_compat" passdb backend. However, the sambaAccount and
1852 associated attributes have been moved to the historical section of
1853 the schema file and must be uncommented before use if needed.
1854 The 2.2 object class declaration for a sambaAccount has not changed
1855 in the 3.0 samba.schema file.
1857 Other new object classes and their uses include:
1859 * sambaDomain - domain information used to allocate rids
1860 for users and groups as necessary. The attributes are added
1861 in 'ldap suffix' directory entry automatically if
1862 an idmap uid/gid range has been set and the 'ldapsam'
1863 passdb backend has been selected.
1865 * sambaGroupMapping - an object representing the
1866 relationship between a posixGroup and a Windows
1867 group/SID. These entries are stored in the 'ldap
1868 group suffix' and managed by the 'net groupmap' command.
1870 * sambaUnixIdPool - created in the 'ldap idmap suffix' entry
1871 automatically and contains the next available 'idmap uid' and
1872 'idmap gid'
1874 * sambaIdmapEntry - object storing a mapping between a
1875 SID and a UNIX uid/gid. These objects are created by the
1876 idmap_ldap module as needed.
1878 * sambaSidEntry - object representing a SID alone, as a Structural
1879 class on which to build the sambaIdmapEntry.
1882 New Suffix for Searching
1883 ------------------------
1885 The following new smb.conf parameters have been added to aid in directing
1886 certain LDAP queries when 'passdb backend = ldapsam://...' has been
1887 specified.
1889 * ldap suffix - used to search for user and computer accounts
1890 * ldap user suffix - used to store user accounts
1891 * ldap machine suffix - used to store machine trust accounts
1892 * ldap group suffix - location of posixGroup/sambaGroupMapping entries
1893 * ldap idmap suffix - location of sambaIdmapEntry objects
1895 If an 'ldap suffix' is defined, it will be appended to all of the
1896 remaining sub-suffix parameters. In this case, the order of the suffix
1897 listings in smb.conf is important. Always place the 'ldap suffix' first
1898 in the list.
1900 Due to a limitation in Samba's smb.conf parsing, you should not surround
1901 the DN's with quotation marks.
1904 IdMap LDAP support
1905 ------------------
1907 Samba 3.0 supports an ldap backend for the idmap subsystem. The
1908 following options would inform Samba that the idmap table should be
1909 stored on the directory server onterose in the "ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,
1910 dc=org" partition.
1912 [global]
1913 ...
1914 idmap backend = ldap:ldap://onterose/
1915 ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,dc=org
1916 idmap uid = 40000-50000
1917 idmap gid = 40000-50000
1919 This configuration allows winbind installations on multiple servers to
1920 share a uid/gid number space, thus avoiding the interoperability problems
1921 with NFS that were present in Samba 2.2.
1925 ######################################################################
1926 Trust Relationships and a Samba Domain
1927 ######################################
1929 Samba 3.0.0beta2 is able to utilize winbindd as the means of
1930 allocating uids and gids to trusted users and groups. More
1931 information regarding Samba's support for establishing trust
1932 relationships can be found in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection included
1933 in the docs/ directory of this release.
1935 First create your Samba PDC and ensure that everything is
1936 working correctly before moving on the trusts.
1938 To establish Samba as the trusting domain (named SAMBA) from a Windows NT
1939 4.0 domain named WINDOWS:
1941 1) create the trust account for SAMBA in "User Manager for Domains"
1942 2) connect the trust from the Samba domain using
1943 'net rpc trustdom establish GLASS'
1945 To create a trustlationship with SAMBA as the trusted domain:
1947 1) create the initial trust account for GLASS using
1948 'smbpasswd -a -i GLASS'. You may need to create a UNIX
1949 account for GLASS$ prior to this step (depending on your
1950 local configuration).
1951 2) connect the trust from a WINDOWS DC using "User Manager
1952 for Domains"
1954 Now join winbindd on the Samba PDC to the SAMBA domain using
1955 the normal steps for adding a Samba server to an NT4 domain:
1956 (note that smbd & nmbd must be running at this point)
1958 root# net rpc join -U root
1959 Password: <enter root password from smbpasswd file here>
1961 Start winbindd and test the join with 'wbinfo -t'.
1963 Now test the trust relationship by connecting to the SAMBA DC
1964 (e.g. POGO) as a user from the WINDOWS domain:
1966 $ smbclient //pogo/netlogon -U Administrator -W WINDOWS
1967 Password:
1969 Now connect to the WINDOWS DC (e.g. CRYSTAL) as a Samba user:
1971 $ smbclient //crystal/netlogon -U root -W WINDOWS
1972 Password:

1975 Changes in Winbind
1976 ##################
1978 Beginning with Samba3.0.0beta3, winbindd has been given new account
1979 manage functionality equivalent to the 'add user script' family of
1980 smb.conf parameters. The idmap design has also been changed to
1981 centralize control of foreign SID lookups and matching to UNIX
1982 uids and gids.
1985 Brief Description of Changes
1986 ----------------------------
1988 1) The sid_to_uid() family of functions (smbd/uid.c) have been
1989 reverted to the 2.2.x design. This means that when resolving a
1990 SID to a UID or similar mapping:
1992 a) First consult winbindd
1993 b) perform a local lookup only if winbindd fails to
1994 return a successful answer
1996 There are some variations to this, but these two rules generally
1997 apply.
1999 2) All idmap lookups have been moved into winbindd. This means that
2000 a server must run winbindd (and support NSS) in order to achieve
2001 any mappings of SID to dynamically allocated UNIX ids. This was
2002 a conscious design choice.
2004 3) New functions have been added to winbindd to emulate the 'add user
2005 script' family of smbd functions without requiring that external
2006 scripts be defined. This functionality is controlled by the 'winbind
2007 enable local accounts' smb.conf parameter (enabled by default).
2009 However, this account management functionality is only supported
2010 in a local tdb (winbindd_idmap.tdb). If these new UNIX accounts
2011 must be shared among multiple Samba servers (such as a PDC and BDCs),
2012 it will be necessary to define your own 'add user script', et. al.
2013 programs that place the accounts/groups in some form of directory
2014 such as NIS or LDAP. This requirement was deemed beyond the scope
2015 of winbind's account management functions. Solutions for
2016 distributing UNIX system information have been deployed and tested
2017 for many years. We saw no need to reinvent the wheel.
2019 4) A member of a Samba controlled domain running winbindd is now able
2020 to map domain users directly onto existing UNIX accounts while still
2021 automatically creating accounts for trusted users and groups. This
2022 behavior is controlled by the 'winbind trusted domains only' smb.conf
2023 parameter (disabled by default to provide 2.2.x winbind behavior).
2025 5) Group mapping support is wrapped in the local_XX_to_XX() functions
2026 in smbd/uid.c. The reason that group mappings are not included
2027 in winbindd is because the purpose of Samba's group map is to
2028 match any Windows SID with an existing UNIX group. These UNIX
2029 groups can be created by winbindd (see next section), but the
2030 SID<->gid mapping is retreived by smbd, not winbindd.
2033 Examples
2034 --------
2036 * security = server running winbindd to allocate accounts on demand
2038 * Samba PDC running winbindd to handle the automatic creation of UNIX
2039 identities for machine trust accounts
2041 * Automtically creating UNIX user and groups when migrating a Windows NT
2042 4.0 PDC to a Samba PDC. Winbindd must be running when executing
2043 'net rpc vampire' for this to work.
