2 Release Notes for Samba 3.3.0pre1
4 =================================
6 This is the first preview release of Samba 3.3.0. This is *not*
7 intended for production environments and is designed for testing
8 purposes only. Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting
9 system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/.
11 Major enhancements in Samba 3.3.0 include:
13 Conifguration/installation:
14 o Splitting of library directory into library directory and separate
18 o Extended Cluster support.
21 o Simplyfied idmap configuration.
24 o New 'net rpc vampire keytab' command.
27 Winbind idmap backend changes
28 =============================
30 The idmap configuration has changed with version 3.3 to something that
31 allows a smoother upgrade path from pre-3.0.25 configurations that use
32 "idmap backend". The reason for this change is that to many, also to Samba
33 developers, the 3.0.25 style configuration with "idmap config" turned out
34 to be very complex. Version 3.3 no longer deprecates the "idmap backend"
35 parameter, instead with "idmap backend" the default idmap backend is
38 Accordingly, the "idmap config <domain> : default = yes" setting is no
39 longer being looked at. As another simplification, there can be only one
42 The alloc backend defaults to the default backend, which should be able to
43 allocate IDs. In the default distribution the tdb and ldap backends can
44 allocate, the ad and rid backends can not. The idmap alloc range is now
45 being set with the "old" parameters "idmap uid" and "idmap gid".
