1 WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.1pre2
3 ==============================
5 This is a preview release of the Samba 3.0.1 code base and is
6 provided for testing only. This release is *not* intended for
7 production servers. Use at your own risk.
9 There have been several bug fixes since the 3.0.0 releaser that
10 we feel are important to make available to the Samba community
11 for wider testings. See the "Changes" section for details on
15 ######################################################################
18 Changes since 3.0.1pre1
19 -----------------------
21 Please refer to the CVS log for the SAMBA_3_0 branch for complete

25 2) Updated Japanese welcome file in SWAT.
26 3) Fix to nt-time <-> unix-time functions reversible.
27 4) Ensure that winbindd uses the the escaped DN when querying
29 5) Fix portability issues when compiling (bug 505, 550)
30 6) Compile fix for tdbbackup when Samba needs to override
31 non-C99 compliant implementations of snprintf().
32 7) Use @PICSUFFIX@ instead of .po in Makefile.in (bug 574).
33 8) Make sure we break out of samsync loop on error.
34 9) Ensure error code path doesn't free unmalloc()'d memory
36 10) Add configure test for krb5_keytab_entry keyblock vs key
39 12) Modified testparm so that all output so all debug output goes
40 to stderr, and all file processing goes to stdout.
41 13) Fix error return code for BUFFER_TOO_SMALL in smbcacls
43 14) Fix "NULL dest in safe_strcpy()" log message by ensuring that
44 we have a devmode before copying a string to the devicename.
45 15) Support mapping REALM.COM\user to a local user account (without
46 running winbindd) for compatibility with 2.2.x release.
47 16) Ensure we don't use mmap() on blacklisted systems.
48 17) fixed a number of bugs and memory leaks in the AIX
50 18) Call initgroups() in SWAT before becomming the user so that
51 secondary group permissions can be used when writing to
53 19) Fix signing problems when reverse connecting back to a
54 client for printer notify
55 20) Fix signing problems caused by a miss-sequence bug.
56 21) Missing map in errormap for ERROR_MORE_DATA -> ERRDOS, ERRmoredata.

114 'winbind trusted domains only = yes' (bug 680).
115 59) Remove code in idmap_ldap that searches the user suffix and group
116 suffix. It's not needed and provides inconsistent functionality
117 from the tdb backend.
118 60) Patch to handle munged dial string for Windows 200 TSE.
119 61) Correct the "smbldap_open: cannot access when not root error"

128 * mangled map (deprecated)
131 * mangled stack (unused)
134 1) Change the interface for init_unistr2 to not take a length
135 but a flags field. We were assuming that
136 2*strlen(mb_string) == length of ucs2-le string. (bug 480).
137 2) Allow d_printf() to handle strings with escaped quotation
138 marks since the msg file includes the escape character (bug 489).

149 implementation cannot be located.
150 11) Wrap internals of sys_setgroups() so the sys_XX() call can
151 be done unconditionally (bug 550).
152 12) Remove duplicate smbspool link on SWAT's front page (bug 541).
153 13) Save and restore CFLAGS before/after AC_PROG_CC. Ensures that
154 --enable-debug=[yes|no] works correctly.
155 14) Allow ^C to interrupt smbpasswd if using our getpass

171 24) Add script to generate *msg files.
172 25) Add Dutch SWAT translation file.
173 26) Make sure to call get_user_groups() with the full winbindd
174 name for a user if he/she has one (bug 406).
175 27) Fix up error code returns from Samba4 tester. Ensure invalid
176 paths are validated the same way.
177 28) Allow Samba3 to pass the Samba4 RAW-READ tests.
178 29) Refuse to configure if --with-expsam=$BACKEND was used but no
179 libraries were found for $BACKEND.
180 30) Move sysquotas autoconf tests to a separate file.
181 31) Match W2K w.r.t. writelock and writeclose. Samba4 torture
183 32) Make sure that the files that contain the static_init_$subsystem;
184 macro get recompiled after configure by removing the object
186 33) Ensure canceling a blocking lock returns the correct error
188 34) Match Samba 2.2, and make ACB_NORMAL the default ACB value.
192 ######################################################################
194 =======================================
195 The original 3.0.0 release notes follow
196 =======================================
202 1) Active Directory support. Samba 3.0 is now able to
203 join a ADS realm as a member server and authenticate
204 users using LDAP/Kerberos.
206 2) Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate UNICODE on the wire
207 and internally there is now a much better infrastructure for
208 multi-byte and UNICODE character sets.
210 3) New authentication system. The internal authentication system
211 has been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are
212 internal, but the new auth system is also very configurable.
214 4) New default filename mangling system.
216 5) A new "net" command has been added. It is somewhat similar to
217 the "net" command in windows. Eventually we plan to replace
218 numerous other utilities (such as smbpasswd) with subcommands
221 6) Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
222 improves error handling a lot.
224 7) Better Windows 2000/XP/2003 printing support including publishing
225 printer attributes in active directory.
227 8) New loadable module support for passdb backends and character
230 9) New default dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance.
232 10) Support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Samba
233 domain and maintaining user, group and domain SIDs.
235 11) Support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
238 12) Initial support for a distributed Winbind architecture using
239 an LDAP directory for storing SID to uid/gid mappings.
241 13) Major updates to the Samba documentation tree.
243 14) Full support for client and server SMB signing to ensure
244 compatibility with default Windows 2003 security settings.
246 15) Improvement of ACL mapping features based on code donated by
250 Plus lots of other improvements!
253 Additional Documentation
254 ------------------------
256 Please refer to Samba documentation tree (included in the docs/
257 subdirectory) for extensive explanations of installing, configuring
258 and maintaining Samba 3.0 servers and clients. It is advised to
259 begin with the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for overviews and specific
260 tasks (the current book is up to approximately 400 pages) and to
261 refer to the various man pages for information on individual options.
263 We are very glad to be able to include the second edition of
264 "Using Samba" by Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown
265 (O'Reilly & Associates) in this release. The book is available
266 on-line at http://samba.org/samba/docs/ and is included with
267 the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). Thanks to the authors and
268 publisher for making "Using Samba" under the GNU Free Documentation
272 ######################################################################
273 Upgrading from a previous Samba 3.0 beta
274 ########################################
276 Beginning with Samba 3.0.0beta3, the RID allocation functions
277 have been moved into winbindd. Previously these were handled
278 by each passdb backend. This means that winbindd must be running
279 to automatically allocate RIDs for users and/or groups. Otherwise,
280 smbd will use the 2.2 algorithm for generating new RIDs.
282 If you are using 'passdb backend = tdbsam' with a previous Samba
283 3.0 beta release (or possibly alpha), it may be necessary to
284 move the RID_COUNTER entry from /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
285 to winbindd_idmap.tdb. To do this:
287 1) Ensure that winbindd_idmap.tdb exists (launch winbindd at least
289 2) build tdbtool by executing 'make tdbtool' in the source/tdb/
291 3) run: (note that 'tdb>' is the tool's prompt for input)
293 root# ./tdbtool /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
294 tdb> show RID_COUNTER
298 [000] 0A 52 00 00 .R.
300 tdb> move RID_COUNTER /usr/local/samba/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb
304 If you are using 'passdb backend = ldapsam', it will be necessary to
305 store idmap entries in the LDAP directory as well (i.e. idmap backend
306 = ldap). Refer to the 'net idmap' command for more information on
307 migrating SID<->UNIX id mappings from one backend to another.
309 If the RID_COUNTER record does not exist, then these instructions are
310 unneccessary and the new RID_COUNTER record will be correctly generated

316 Upgrading from Samba 2.2
317 ########################
319 This section is provided to help administrators understand the details
320 involved with upgrading a Samba 2.2 server to Samba 3.0.
326 Many of the options to the GNU autoconf script have been modified
327 in the 3.0 release. The most noticeable are:
329 * removal of --with-tdbsam (is now included by default; see section
330 on passdb backends and authentication for more details)
332 * --with-ldapsam is now on used to provided backward compatible
333 parameters for LDAP enabled Samba 2.2 servers. Refer to the passdb
334 backend and authentication section for more details
336 * inclusion of non-standard passdb modules may be enabled using
337 --with-expsam. This includes an XML backend and a mysql backend.
339 * removal of --with-msdfs (is now enabled by default)
341 * removal of --with-ssl (no longer supported)
343 * --with-utmp now defaults to 'yes' on supported systems
345 * --with-sendfile-support is now enabled by default on supported

478 * winbind gid (deprecated in favor of 'idmap gid')
484 This section contains brief descriptions of any new databases
485 introduced in Samba 3.0. Please remember to backup your existing
486 ${lock directory}/*tdb before upgrading to Samba 3.0. Samba will
487 upgrade databases as they are opened (if necessary), but downgrading
488 from 3.0 to 2.2 is an unsupported path.
490 Name Description Backup?
491 ---- ----------- -------
492 account_policy User policy settings yes
493 gencache Generic caching db no
494 group_mapping Mapping table from Windows yes
495 groups/SID to unix groups
496 winbindd_idmap ID map table from SIDS to UNIX yes
498 namecache Name resolution cache entries no
499 netsamlogon_cache Cache of NET_USER_INFO_3 structure no
500 returned as part of a successful
501 net_sam_logon request
502 printing/*.tdb Cached output from 'lpq no
503 command' created on a per print
505 registry Read-only samba registry skeleton no
506 that provides support for exporting
507 various db tables via the winreg RPCs
513 The following issues are known changes in behavior between Samba 2.2 and
514 Samba 3.0 that may affect certain installations of Samba.
516 1) When operating as a member of a Windows domain, Samba 2.2 would
517 map any users authenticated by the remote DC to the 'guest account'
518 if a uid could not be obtained via the getpwnam() call. Samba 3.0
519 rejects the connection as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. There is no
520 current work around to re-establish the 2.2 behavior.
522 2) When adding machines to a Samba 2.2 controlled domain, the
523 'add user script' was used to create the UNIX identity of the
524 machine trust account. Samba 3.0 introduces a new 'add machine
525 script' that must be specified for this purpose. Samba 3.0 will
526 not fall back to using the 'add user script' in the absence of
527 an 'add machine script'
530 ######################################################################
531 Passdb Backends and Authentication
532 ##################################
534 There have been a few new changes that Samba administrators should be
535 aware of when moving to Samba 3.0.
537 1) encrypted passwords have been enabled by default in order to
538 inter-operate better with out-of-the-box Windows client
539 installations. This does mean that either (a) a samba account
540 must be created for each user, or (b) 'encrypt passwords = no'
541 must be explicitly defined in smb.conf.
543 2) Inclusion of new 'security = ads' option for integration
544 with an Active Directory domain using the native Windows
545 Kerberos 5 and LDAP protocols.
547 MIT kerberos 1.3.1 supports the ARCFOUR-HMAC-MD5 encryption
548 type which is neccessary for servers on which the
549 administrator password has not been changed, or kerberos-enabled
550 SMB connections to servers that require Kerberos SMB signing.
551 Besides this one difference, either MIT or Heimdal Kerberos
552 distributions are usable by Samba 3.0.
555 Samba 3.0 also includes the possibility of setting up chains
556 of authentication methods (auth methods) and account storage
557 backends (passdb backend). Please refer to the smb.conf(5)
558 man page for details. While both parameters assume sane default
559 values, it is likely that you will need to understand what the
560 values actually mean in order to ensure Samba operates correctly.
562 The recommended passdb backends at this time are
564 * smbpasswd - 2.2 compatible flat file format
565 * tdbsam - attribute rich database intended as an smbpasswd
566 replacement for stand alone servers
567 * ldapsam - attribute rich account storage and retrieval
568 backend utilizing an LDAP directory.
569 * ldapsam_compat - a 2.2 backward compatible LDAP account
572 Certain functions of the smbpasswd(8) tool have been split between the
573 new smbpasswd(8) utility, the net(8) tool, and the new pdbedit(8)
574 utility. See the respective man pages for details.
577 ######################################################################
581 This section outlines the new features affecting Samba / LDAP
587 A new object class (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace
588 the old sambaAccount. This change aids us in the renaming of attributes
589 to prevent clashes with attributes from other vendors. There is a
590 conversion script (examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to modify and LDIF
591 file to the new schema.
595 $ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." > old.ldif
596 $ convertSambaAccount <DOM SID> old.ldif new.ldif
598 The <DOM SID> can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid <DOMAINNAME>'
599 on the Samba PDC as root.
601 The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
602 "ldapsam_compat" passdb backend. However, the sambaAccount and
603 associated attributes have been moved to the historical section of
604 the schema file and must be uncommented before use if needed.
605 The 2.2 object class declaration for a sambaAccount has not changed
606 in the 3.0 samba.schema file.
608 Other new object classes and their uses include:
610 * sambaDomain - domain information used to allocate rids
611 for users and groups as necessary. The attributes are added
612 in 'ldap suffix' directory entry automatically if
613 an idmap uid/gid range has been set and the 'ldapsam'
614 passdb backend has been selected.
616 * sambaGroupMapping - an object representing the
617 relationship between a posixGroup and a Windows
618 group/SID. These entries are stored in the 'ldap
619 group suffix' and managed by the 'net groupmap' command.
621 * sambaUnixIdPool - created in the 'ldap idmap suffix' entry
622 automatically and contains the next available 'idmap uid' and
625 * sambaIdmapEntry - object storing a mapping between a
626 SID and a UNIX uid/gid. These objects are created by the
627 idmap_ldap module as needed.
629 * sambaSidEntry - object representing a SID alone, as a Structural
630 class on which to build the sambaIdmapEntry.
633 New Suffix for Searching
634 ------------------------
636 The following new smb.conf parameters have been added to aid in directing
637 certain LDAP queries when 'passdb backend = ldapsam://...' has been
640 * ldap suffix - used to search for user and computer accounts
641 * ldap user suffix - used to store user accounts
642 * ldap machine suffix - used to store machine trust accounts
643 * ldap group suffix - location of posixGroup/sambaGroupMapping entries
644 * ldap idmap suffix - location of sambaIdmapEntry objects
646 If an 'ldap suffix' is defined, it will be appended to all of the
647 remaining sub-suffix parameters. In this case, the order of the suffix
648 listings in smb.conf is important. Always place the 'ldap suffix' first
651 Due to a limitation in Samba's smb.conf parsing, you should not surround
652 the DN's with quotation marks.
658 Samba 3.0 supports an ldap backend for the idmap subsystem. The
659 following options would inform Samba that the idmap table should be
660 stored on the directory server onterose in the "ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,
665 idmap backend = ldap:ldap://onterose/
666 ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,dc=org
667 idmap uid = 40000-50000
668 idmap gid = 40000-50000
670 This configuration allows winbind installations on multiple servers to
671 share a uid/gid number space, thus avoiding the interoperability problems
672 with NFS that were present in Samba 2.2.
676 ######################################################################
677 Trust Relationships and a Samba Domain
678 ######################################
680 Samba 3.0.0beta2 is able to utilize winbindd as the means of
681 allocating uids and gids to trusted users and groups. More
682 information regarding Samba's support for establishing trust
683 relationships can be found in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection included
684 in the docs/ directory of this release.
686 First create your Samba PDC and ensure that everything is
687 working correctly before moving on the trusts.
689 To establish Samba as the trusting domain (named SAMBA) from a Windows NT
690 4.0 domain named WINDOWS:
692 1) create the trust account for SAMBA in "User Manager for Domains"
693 2) connect the trust from the Samba domain using
694 'net rpc trustdom establish GLASS'
696 To create a trustlationship with SAMBA as the trusted domain:
698 1) create the initial trust account for GLASS using
699 'smbpasswd -a -i GLASS'. You may need to create a UNIX
700 account for GLASS$ prior to this step (depending on your
701 local configuration).
702 2) connect the trust from a WINDOWS DC using "User Manager
705 Now join winbindd on the Samba PDC to the SAMBA domain using
706 the normal steps for adding a Samba server to an NT4 domain:
707 (note that smbd & nmbd must be running at this point)
709 root# net rpc join -U root
710 Password: <enter root password from smbpasswd file here>
712 Start winbindd and test the join with 'wbinfo -t'.
714 Now test the trust relationship by connecting to the SAMBA DC
715 (e.g. POGO) as a user from the WINDOWS domain:
717 $ smbclient //pogo/netlogon -U Administrator -W WINDOWS
720 Now connect to the WINDOWS DC (e.g. CRYSTAL) as a Samba user:
722 $ smbclient //crystal/netlogon -U root -W WINDOWS

729 Beginning with Samba3.0.0beta3, winbindd has been given new account
730 manage functionality equivalent to the 'add user script' family of
731 smb.conf parameters. The idmap design has also been changed to
732 centralize control of foreign SID lookups and matching to UNIX
736 Brief Description of Changes
737 ----------------------------
739 1) The sid_to_uid() family of functions (smbd/uid.c) have been
740 reverted to the 2.2.x design. This means that when resolving a
741 SID to a UID or similar mapping:
743 a) First consult winbindd
744 b) perform a local lookup only if winbindd fails to
745 return a successful answer
747 There are some variations to this, but these two rules generally
750 2) All idmap lookups have been moved into winbindd. This means that
751 a server must run winbindd (and support NSS) in order to achieve
752 any mappings of SID to dynamically allocated UNIX ids. This was
753 a conscious design choice.
755 3) New functions have been added to winbindd to emulate the 'add user
756 script' family of smbd functions without requiring that external
757 scripts be defined. This functionality is controlled by the 'winbind
758 enable local accounts' smb.conf parameter (enabled by default).
760 However, this account management functionality is only supported
761 in a local tdb (winbindd_idmap.tdb). If these new UNIX accounts
762 must be shared among multiple Samba servers (such as a PDC and BDCs),
763 it will be necessary to define your own 'add user script', et. al.
764 programs that place the accounts/groups in some form of directory
765 such as NIS or LDAP. This requirement was deemed beyond the scope
766 of winbind's account management functions. Solutions for
767 distributing UNIX system information have been deployed and tested
768 for many years. We saw no need to reinvent the wheel.
770 4) A member of a Samba controlled domain running winbindd is now able
771 to map domain users directly onto existing UNIX accounts while still
772 automatically creating accounts for trusted users and groups. This
773 behavior is controlled by the 'winbind trusted domains only' smb.conf
774 parameter (disabled by default to provide 2.2.x winbind behavior).
776 5) Group mapping support is wrapped in the local_XX_to_XX() functions
777 in smbd/uid.c. The reason that group mappings are not included
778 in winbindd is because the purpose of Samba's group map is to
779 match any Windows SID with an existing UNIX group. These UNIX
780 groups can be created by winbindd (see next section), but the
781 SID<->gid mapping is retreived by smbd, not winbindd.
787 * security = server running winbindd to allocate accounts on demand
789 * Samba PDC running winbindd to handle the automatic creation of UNIX
790 identities for machine trust accounts
792 * Automtically creating UNIX user and groups when migrating a Windows NT
793 4.0 PDC to a Samba PDC. Winbindd must be running when executing
794 'net rpc vampire' for this to work.
