492 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.20a
494 ===============================
496 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.20a include:
498 o Stability problems with winbindd.
499 o Crash bugs caused by incompatibilities on 64-bit systems.
500 o Missing files from directory listings on AIX servers
501 o User Manager interoperability problems.
502 o Minor build difficulties on various platforms such as
506 Winbind, security = domain, and Active Directory
507 ================================================
509 Recent security updates for Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 have
510 changed the fashion in which user and group lists can be obtained
511 from domain controllers. In short, the RPC mechanisms used by
512 "security = domain" to retrieve users and groups is not compatible
513 with these changes. The "security = ads" configuration is not
514 affected by the Windows protocol changes.
516 Samba developers are actively working to correct this problem in
517 the 3.0.21 release. In the meantime, Administrators who are unable
518 to migrate to "security = ads" and must continue using "security =
519 domain", can define credentials to be used by winbindd for account
520 enumeration by executing the following command as root.

644 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.20
646 ==============================
648 Additional features introduced in Samba 3.0.20 include:
650 o Support for several new Win32 rpc pipes.
651 o Improved support for OS/2 clients.
652 o New 'net rpc service' tool for managing Win32 services.
653 o Capability to set the owner on new files and directory
654 based on the parent's ownership.
655 o Experimental, asynchronous IO file serving support.
656 o Completed Support for Microsoft Print Migrator.
657 o New Winbind IDmap plugin (ad) for retrieving uid and gid
658 from AD servers which maintain the SFU user and group
660 o Rewritten support for POSIX pathnames when utilizing
661 the Linux CIFS fs client.
662 o New asynchronous winbindd.
663 o Support for Microsoft Print Migrator.
664 o New Windows NT registry file I/O library.
665 o New user right (SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege) added.
666 o New "net share migrate" options.
669 What happened to 3.0.15 - 3.0.19?
670 ==================================
672 After some discussion it was deemed that the amount of changes
673 going into the next Samba 3.0 release needed something to catch
674 people's attention. Skipping several releases was chosen as
675 the best solution with the least overhead. There will be no
676 3.0.15 - 3.0.19 ever released. The next production release
677 following 3.0.20 should be 3.0.21.
679 The original announcement about the version number change can
680 be found in the samba mailing list archives:
682 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&m=111721010206997&w=2
685 Asynchronous Winbind Implementation
686 ===================================
688 Winbindd has been completely rewritten in this release to support
689 an almost completely non-blocking, asynchronous request/reply
690 model. This means that winbindd will scale much better in
691 large domain environments and on high latency networks. Neither
692 the client interface nor the command line tools (i.e. wbinfo) have
693 changed in their calling conventions or syntax. However, due to
694 internal structure changes, it is required (more so than normal)
695 that you install the nss_winbind.so library included in this release.
698 Support for Microsoft Print Migrator
699 ====================================
701 Samba 3.0.20 includes full support for migrating printers from
702 Windows servers or other Samba servers via the Microsoft Print
703 Migrator tool. Restoring printers requires a working "add printer
704 command" defined in smb.conf. Current support also allows
705 administrators to create a master list of printer drivers which
706 can be restored in bulk on new (or existing) Samba installations.
709 Asynchronous IO Support
710 =======================
712 Experimental support for async IO has been added to smbd for
713 certain platforms. To enable this new feature, Samba must be
714 compiled to include the --with-aio-support configure option.
715 In addition, the "aio read size" and "aio write size" to non-zero
716 values. See the smb.conf(5) man page for more details on these

1619 ==============================
1621 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.12 include:
1623 o Winbind failures when using 'disable netbios = yes'
1624 o Failure to establish a trust relationship via 'net rpc trust
1626 o Various portability & compiler issues.
1627 o Read only file deletion failure caused by new delete semantics
1628 in Windows XP SP2 and the MS 04-044 security hotfix.

1651 =======================
1652 Large Directory Support
1653 =======================
1655 Samba 3.0.12pre1 introduces a specific mechanism for dealing
1656 with file services that frequently contain a large number of files
1657 per directory. Historically Samba's performance has suffered
1658 in such environments due to the translation from case
1659 insensitive lookups by Windows client to the case sensitive
1660 storage mechanisms used by UNIX filesystems.
1662 Configuration details along with a short HOWTO can be found at:
1664 http://www.samba.org/samba/ftp/HOWTO/Samba-LargeDirectory-HOWTO
1667 ==================================
1668 libsmbclient Binary Compatibility
1669 ==================================
1671 Please note that a change has been made to the _SMBCCTX structure
1672 in source/include/libsmbclient.h. This change is not backwards
1673 compatible with applications linked against the libsmbclient.so
1674 library from Samba 3.0.11. However, it is compatible with all
1675 other Samba 3.0.x releases. This means that it will be most likely
1676 be necessary to recompile any applications linked against the
1677 3.0.11 version of the library.

1991 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.11
1993 ==============================
1995 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.11 include:
1997 o Crash in smbd when using CUPS printing.
1998 o Parsing error of other SIDs included in the user_info_3
1999 structure returned from domain controllers.
2000 o Inefficiencies when searching non-AD LDAP directories.
2001 o Failure to expand variables in user domain attributes
2002 in tdbsam and ldapsam.
2004 o Failure to retrieve certain attribute when migrating from
2005 a Windows DC to a Samba DC via 'net rpc vampire'.
2006 o Numerous printing bugs bugs including memory
2007 bloating on large/busy print servers.
2008 o Compatibility issues with Exchange 5.5 SP4.
2011 Additional features introduced in Samba 3.0.11:
2013 o Winbindd performance improvements.
2014 o More 'net rpc vampire' functionality.
2015 o Support for the Windows privilege model to assign rights
2017 o New administrative options to the 'net rpc' command.
2024 If "ldap user suffix" or "ldap machine suffix" are defined in
2025 smb.conf, all user-accounts must reside below the user suffix,
2026 and all machine and inter-domain trust-accounts must be located
2027 below the machine suffix. Previous Samba releases would fall
2028 back to searching the 'ldap suffix' in some cases.
2035 Samba 3.0.11 supports the following assignable rights
2037 SeMachineAccountPrivilege Add machines to domain
2038 SePrintOperatorPrivilege Manage printers
2039 SeAddUsersPrivilege Add users and groups to the domain
2040 SeRemoteShutdownPrivilege Force shutdown from a remote system
2041 SeDiskOperatorPrivilege Manage disk shares
2043 These rights can be assigned to arbitrary users or groups
2044 via the 'net rpc rights grant/revoke' command. More details
2045 of Samba's privilege implementation can be found in the
2046 Samba-HOWTO-Collection.

2573 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.8
2575 =============================
2577 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.8 include:
2579 o Compile fixes for HP-UX
2580 o Fixes for the printer publishing code used when joined to
2582 o Incompatibilities with file system quotas.
2583 o Several bugs in the spoolss printing code and print system
2585 o Inconsistencies in the username map functionality when
2586 configured on domain member servers.
2587 o Various compile warnings and errors on various platforms.
2588 o Fixes for kerberos interoperability with Windows 200x
2589 domains when using DES keys.
2590 o Fix for CAN-2004-0930 -- smbd remote DoS vulnerability.
2591 o Fix for CAN-2004-0882 -- possible buffer overrun in smbd.
2594 New features included in the 3.0.8 release are:
2596 o New migration functionality added the the net tool
2597 for files/directories, printers, and shares.
2598 o New experimental idmap backend for assigning uids/gids
2599 directly based on the user/group RID when acting as a
2600 member of single domain without any trusts.
2601 o Additional printer migration support for XP/2003 platforms.
2604 ===========================
2605 Change in Winbindd Behavior
2606 ===========================
2608 All usernames returned by winbindd are now converted to lower
2609 case for better consistency. This means any winbind installation
2610 relying on the winbind username will need to rename existing
2611 directories and/or files based on the username (%u and %U) to lower
2612 case (e.g. mv $name `echo $name | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`). This may
2613 include mail spool files, home directories, valid user lines in
2617 ======================
2618 Change in Username Map
2619 ======================
2621 Previous Samba releases would only support reading the fully qualified
2622 username (e.g. DOMAIN\user) from the username map when performing a
2623 kerberos login from a client. However, when looking up a map
2624 entry for a user authenticated by NTLM[SSP], only the login name would be
2625 used for matches. This resulted in inconsistent behavior sometimes
2626 even on the same server.
2628 Samba 3.0.8 obeys the following rules when applying the username
2631 * When performing local authentication, the username map is
2632 applied to the login name before attempting to authenticate
2634 * When relying upon a external domain controller for validating
2635 authentication requests, smbd will apply the username map
2636 to the fully qualified username (i.e. DOMAIN\user) only
2637 after the user has been successfully authenticated.

3175 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.6
3177 =============================
3179 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.6 include:
3181 o Schannel failure in winbindd.
3182 o Numerous memory leaks.
3183 o Incompatibilities between the 'write list' and 'force user'
3185 o Premature optimization of the open_directory() internal
3186 function that broke tools such as the ArcServe backup
3187 agent, Macromedia HomeSite, and Robocopy.
3188 o Corrupt workgroup names in nmbd's browse.dat.
3189 o Sharing violation errors commonly seen when opening
3190 when serving Microsoft Office documents from a Samba
3192 o Browsing problems caused by an apostrophe (') in the
3193 computer's description field.
3194 o Problems creating special file types from UNIX CIFS
3195 clients and enabling 'unix extensions'.
3196 o Fix stalls in smbd caused by inaccessible LDAP servers.
3197 o Remove various memory leaks.
3198 o Fix issues in the password lockout feature.
3200 New features introduced in this release include:
3202 O Support symlinks created by CIFS clients which
3203 can be followed on the server.
3204 o Using a cups server other than localhost.
3205 o Maintaining the service principal entry in the system
3206 keytab for integration with other kerberized services.
3207 Please refer to the 'use kerberos keytab' entry in
3208 smb.conf(5). When using the heimdal kerberos libraries,
3209 you must also specify the following in /etc/krb5.conf:
3211 default_keytab_name = FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab
3212 o Support for maintaining individual printer names
3213 stored separately from the printer's sharename.
3214 o Support for maintaining user password history.
3215 o Support for honoring the logon times for user in a
3219 ============================================
3220 unix extensions = yes (default) and symlinks
3221 ============================================
3223 Beginning with Samba 3.0.6pre1 (formerly known as 3.0.5pre1),
3224 clients supporting the UNIX extensions to the CIFS protocol
3225 can create symlinks to absolute paths which will be **followed**
3226 by the server. This functionality has been requested in order
3227 to correctly support certain applications when the user's home
3228 directory is mounted using some type of CIFS client (e.g. the
3229 cifsvfs in the Linux 2.6 kernel).
3231 If this behavior is not acceptable for your production environment
3232 you can set 'wide links = no' in the specific share declaration in
3233 the server's smb.conf. Be aware that disabling wide link support
3234 out of a share in Samba may impact the server's performance due
3235 to the fact that smbd will now have to check each path additional
3236 times before traversing it.
3239 ========================
3240 Password History Support
3241 ========================
3243 The new password history feature allows smbd to check the new
3244 password in password change requests against a list of the user's
3245 previous passwords. The number of previous passwords to save can
3246 be set using pdbedit (4 in this example):
3248 root# pdbedit -P "password history" -C 4
3250 When using the ldapsam passdb backend, it is vital to secure the
3251 following attributes from access by non-administrative users:
3255 * sambaPasswordHistory
3257 You should refer to your directory server's documentation on how
3258 to implement this restriction.

3674 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.5
3676 =============================
3678 Please note that Samba 3.0.5 is identical to Samba 3.0.4 with
3679 the exception of correcting the two security issues outlined
3682 ######################## SECURITY RELEASE ########################
3684 Summary: Multiple Potential Buffer Overruns in Samba 3.0.x
3685 CVE ID: CAN-2004-0600, CAN-2004-0686
3686 (http://cve.mitre.org/)
3689 This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version
3690 that production Samba servers should be running for all current
3693 It has been confirmed that versions of Samba 3 prior to v3.0.4
3694 are vulnerable to two potential buffer overruns. The individual
3695 details are given below.
3701 Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.2 and later
3703 The internal routine used by the Samba Web Administration
3704 Tool (SWAT v3.0.2 and later) to decode the base64 data
3705 during HTTP basic authentication is subject to a buffer
3706 overrun caused by an invalid base64 character. It is
3707 recommended that all Samba v3.0.2 or later installations
3708 running SWAT either (a) upgrade to v3.0.5, or (b) disable
3709 the swat administration service as a temporary workaround.
3711 This same code is used internally to decode the
3712 sambaMungedDial attribute value when using the ldapsam
3713 passdb backend. While we do not believe that the base64
3714 decoding routines used by the ldapsam passdb backend can
3715 be exploited, sites using an LDAP directory service with
3716 Samba are strongly encouraged to verify that the DIT only
3717 allows write access to sambaSamAccount attributes by a
3718 sufficiently authorized user.
3720 The Samba Team would like to heartily thank Evgeny Demidov
3721 for analyzing and reporting this bug.
3727 Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.0 and later
3729 A buffer overrun has been located in the code used to support
3730 the 'mangling method = hash' smb.conf option. Please be aware
3731 that the default setting for this parameter is 'mangling method
3732 = hash2' and therefore not vulnerable.
3734 Affected Samba 3 installations can avoid this possible security
3735 bug by using the default hash2 mangling method. Server
3736 installations requiring the hash mangling method are encouraged
3737 to upgrade to Samba 3.0.5.

4310 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2a
4312 ==============================
4314 Samba 3.0.2a is a minor patch release for the 3.0.2 code base
4315 to address, in particular, a problem when using pdbedit to
4316 sanitize (--force-initialized-passwords) Samba's tdbsam
4317 backend. This is the latest stable release of Samba. This
4318 is the version that all production Samba servers should be
4319 running for all current bug-fixes.
4321 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
4323 Beginning with Samba 3.0.2, passwords for accounts with a last
4324 change time (LCT-XXX in smbpasswd, sambaPwdLastSet attribute in
4325 ldapsam, etc...) of zero (0) will be regarded as uninitialized
4326 strings. This will cause authentication to fail for such
4327 accounts. If you have valid passwords that meet this criteria,
4328 you must update the last change time to a non-zero value. If you
4329 do not, then 'pdbedit --force-initialized-passwords' will disable
4330 these accounts and reset the password hashes to a string of X's.
4332 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************

4384 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2
4386 =============================
4388 It has been confirmed that previous versions of Samba 3.0 are
4389 susceptible to a password initialization bug that could grant an
4390 attacker unauthorized access to a user account created by the
4391 mksmbpasswd.sh shell script.
4393 The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
4394 has assigned the name CAN-2004-0082 to this issue.
4396 Samba administrators not wishing to upgrade to the current
4397 version should download the 3.0.2 release, build the pdbedit
4400 root# pdbedit-3.0.2 --force-initialized-passwords
4402 This will disable all accounts not possessing a valid password
4403 (e.g. the password field has been set a string of X's).
4405 Samba servers running 3.0.2 are not vulnerable to this bug
4406 regardless of whether or not pdbedit has been used to sanitize
4409 Some of the more visible bugs in 3.0.1 addressed in the 3.0.2
4412 o Joining a Samba domain from Pre-SP2 Windows 2000 clients.
4413 o Logging onto a Samba domain from Windows XP clients.
4414 o Problems with the %U and %u smb.conf variables in relation to
4415 Windows 9x/ME clients.
4416 o Kerberos failures due to an invalid in memory keytab detection
4418 o Updates to the ntlm_auth tool.
4419 o Fixes for various SMB signing errors.
4420 o Better separation of WINS and DNS queries for domain controllers.
4421 o Issues with nss_winbind FreeBSD and Solaris.
4422 o Several crash bugs in smbd and winbindd.
4423 o Output formatting fixes for smbclient for better compatibility
4424 with scripts based on the 2.2 version.

4902 o Adds a variant of the winbindd_getgroups() call called
4903 winbindd_getusersids() that provides direct SID->SIDs listing of
4904 a users supplementary groups. This is enough to allow non-Samba
4905 applications to do ACL checking.

4996 The original 3.0.0 release notes follow
4997 =======================================
4998 WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.0
5000 =======================================
5006 1) Active Directory support. Samba 3.0 is now able to
5007 join a ADS realm as a member server and authenticate
5008 users using LDAP/Kerberos.
5010 2) Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate UNICODE on the wire
5011 and internally there is now a much better infrastructure for
5012 multi-byte and UNICODE character sets.
5014 3) New authentication system. The internal authentication system
5015 has been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are
5016 internal, but the new auth system is also very configurable.
5018 4) New default filename mangling system.
5020 5) A new "net" command has been added. It is somewhat similar to
5021 the "net" command in windows. Eventually we plan to replace
5022 numerous other utilities (such as smbpasswd) with subcommands
5025 6) Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
5026 improves error handling a lot.
5028 7) Better Windows 2000/XP/2003 printing support including publishing
5029 printer attributes in active directory.
5031 8) New loadable module support for passdb backends and character
5034 9) New default dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance.
5036 10) Support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Samba
5037 domain and maintaining user, group and domain SIDs.
5039 11) Support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
5042 12) Initial support for a distributed Winbind architecture using
5043 an LDAP directory for storing SID to uid/gid mappings.
5045 13) Major updates to the Samba documentation tree.
5047 14) Full support for client and server SMB signing to ensure
5048 compatibility with default Windows 2003 security settings.
5050 15) Improvement of ACL mapping features based on code donated by
5051 Andreas Grünbacher.
5054 Plus lots of other improvements!
5057 Additional Documentation
5058 ------------------------
5060 Please refer to Samba documentation tree (included in the docs/
5061 subdirectory) for extensive explanations of installing, configuring
5062 and maintaining Samba 3.0 servers and clients. It is advised to
5063 begin with the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for overviews and specific
5064 tasks (the current book is up to approximately 400 pages) and to
5065 refer to the various man pages for information on individual options.
5067 We are very glad to be able to include the second edition of
5068 "Using Samba" by Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown
5069 (O'Reilly & Associates) in this release. The book is available
5070 on-line at http://samba.org/samba/docs/ and is included with
5071 the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). Thanks to the authors and
5072 publisher for making "Using Samba" under the GNU Free Documentation
5076 ######################################################################
5077 Upgrading from a previous Samba 3.0 beta
5078 ########################################
5080 Beginning with Samba 3.0.0beta3, the RID allocation functions
5081 have been moved into winbindd. Previously these were handled
5082 by each passdb backend. This means that winbindd must be running
5083 to automatically allocate RIDs for users and/or groups. Otherwise,
5084 smbd will use the 2.2 algorithm for generating new RIDs.
5086 If you are using 'passdb backend = tdbsam' with a previous Samba
5087 3.0 beta release (or possibly alpha), it may be necessary to
5088 move the RID_COUNTER entry from /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
5089 to winbindd_idmap.tdb. To do this:
5091 1) Ensure that winbindd_idmap.tdb exists (launch winbindd at least
5093 2) build tdbtool by executing 'make tdbtool' in the source/tdb/
5095 3) run: (note that 'tdb>' is the tool's prompt for input)
5097 root# ./tdbtool /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
5098 tdb> show RID_COUNTER
5102 [000] 0A 52 00 00 .R.
5104 tdb> move RID_COUNTER /usr/local/samba/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb
5108 If you are using 'passdb backend = ldapsam', it will be necessary to
5109 store idmap entries in the LDAP directory as well (i.e. idmap backend
5110 = ldap). Refer to the 'net idmap' command for more information on
5111 migrating SID<->UNIX id mappings from one backend to another.
5113 If the RID_COUNTER record does not exist, then these instructions are
5114 unneccessary and the new RID_COUNTER record will be correctly generated

5295 introduced in Samba 3.0. Please remember to backup your existing
5296 ${lock directory}/*tdb before upgrading to Samba 3.0. Samba will
5297 upgrade databases as they are opened (if necessary), but downgrading
5298 from 3.0 to 2.2 is an unsupported path.
5300 Name Description Backup?
5301 ---- ----------- -------
5302 account_policy User policy settings yes
5303 gencache Generic caching db no
5304 group_mapping Mapping table from Windows yes
5305 groups/SID to unix groups
5306 winbindd_idmap ID map table from SIDS to UNIX yes
5308 namecache Name resolution cache entries no

5313 command' created on a per print
5315 registry Read-only samba registry skeleton no
5316 that provides support for exporting
5317 various db tables via the winreg RPCs
5323 The following issues are known changes in behavior between Samba 2.2 and
5324 Samba 3.0 that may affect certain installations of Samba.
5326 1) When operating as a member of a Windows domain, Samba 2.2 would
5327 map any users authenticated by the remote DC to the 'guest account'
5328 if a uid could not be obtained via the getpwnam() call. Samba 3.0
5329 rejects the connection as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. There is no
5330 current work around to re-establish the 2.2 behavior.
5332 2) When adding machines to a Samba 2.2 controlled domain, the
5333 'add user script' was used to create the UNIX identity of the
5334 machine trust account. Samba 3.0 introduces a new 'add machine
5335 script' that must be specified for this purpose. Samba 3.0 will
5336 not fall back to using the 'add user script' in the absence of
5337 an 'add machine script'
5340 ######################################################################
5341 Passdb Backends and Authentication
5342 ##################################
5344 There have been a few new changes that Samba administrators should be
5345 aware of when moving to Samba 3.0.
5347 1) encrypted passwords have been enabled by default in order to
5348 inter-operate better with out-of-the-box Windows client
5349 installations. This does mean that either (a) a samba account
5350 must be created for each user, or (b) 'encrypt passwords = no'
5351 must be explicitly defined in smb.conf.
5353 2) Inclusion of new 'security = ads' option for integration
5354 with an Active Directory domain using the native Windows
5355 Kerberos 5 and LDAP protocols.
5357 MIT kerberos 1.3.1 supports the ARCFOUR-HMAC-MD5 encryption
5358 type which is neccessary for servers on which the
5359 administrator password has not been changed, or kerberos-enabled
5360 SMB connections to servers that require Kerberos SMB signing.
5361 Besides this one difference, either MIT or Heimdal Kerberos
5362 distributions are usable by Samba 3.0.
5365 Samba 3.0 also includes the possibility of setting up chains
5366 of authentication methods (auth methods) and account storage
5367 backends (passdb backend). Please refer to the smb.conf(5)
5368 man page for details. While both parameters assume sane default
5369 values, it is likely that you will need to understand what the
5370 values actually mean in order to ensure Samba operates correctly.
5372 The recommended passdb backends at this time are
5374 * smbpasswd - 2.2 compatible flat file format
5375 * tdbsam - attribute rich database intended as an smbpasswd
5376 replacement for stand alone servers
5377 * ldapsam - attribute rich account storage and retrieval
5378 backend utilizing an LDAP directory.
5379 * ldapsam_compat - a 2.2 backward compatible LDAP account
5382 Certain functions of the smbpasswd(8) tool have been split between the
5383 new smbpasswd(8) utility, the net(8) tool, and the new pdbedit(8)
5384 utility. See the respective man pages for details.
5387 ######################################################################
5391 This section outlines the new features affecting Samba / LDAP
5397 A new object class (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace
5398 the old sambaAccount. This change aids us in the renaming of
5399 attributes to prevent clashes with attributes from other vendors.
5400 There is a conversion script (examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to
5401 modify and LDIF file to the new schema.
5405 $ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." > sambaAcct.ldif
5406 $ convertSambaAccount --sid=<Domain SID> \
5407 --input=sambaAcct.ldif --output=sambaSamAcct.ldif \
5408 --changetype=[modify|add]
5410 The <DOM SID> can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid
5411 <DOMAINNAME>' on the Samba PDC as root. The changetype determines
5412 the format of the generated LDIF output--either create new entries
5413 or modify existing entries.
5415 The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
5416 "ldapsam_compat" passdb backend. However, the sambaAccount and
5417 associated attributes have been moved to the historical section of
5418 the schema file and must be uncommented before use if needed.
5419 The 2.2 object class declaration for a sambaAccount has not changed
5420 in the 3.0 samba.schema file.
5422 Other new object classes and their uses include:
5424 * sambaDomain - domain information used to allocate rids
5425 for users and groups as necessary. The attributes are added
5426 in 'ldap suffix' directory entry automatically if
5427 an idmap uid/gid range has been set and the 'ldapsam'
5428 passdb backend has been selected.
5430 * sambaGroupMapping - an object representing the
5431 relationship between a posixGroup and a Windows
5432 group/SID. These entries are stored in the 'ldap
5433 group suffix' and managed by the 'net groupmap' command.
5435 * sambaUnixIdPool - created in the 'ldap idmap suffix' entry
5436 automatically and contains the next available 'idmap uid' and
5439 * sambaIdmapEntry - object storing a mapping between a
5440 SID and a UNIX uid/gid. These objects are created by the
5441 idmap_ldap module as needed.
5443 * sambaSidEntry - object representing a SID alone, as a Structural
5444 class on which to build the sambaIdmapEntry.
5447 New Suffix for Searching
5448 ------------------------
5450 The following new smb.conf parameters have been added to aid in directing
5451 certain LDAP queries when 'passdb backend = ldapsam://...' has been
5454 * ldap suffix - used to search for user and computer accounts
5455 * ldap user suffix - used to store user accounts
5456 * ldap machine suffix - used to store machine trust accounts
5457 * ldap group suffix - location of posixGroup/sambaGroupMapping entries
5458 * ldap idmap suffix - location of sambaIdmapEntry objects
5460 If an 'ldap suffix' is defined, it will be appended to all of the
5461 remaining sub-suffix parameters. In this case, the order of the suffix
5462 listings in smb.conf is important. Always place the 'ldap suffix' first
5465 Due to a limitation in Samba's smb.conf parsing, you should not surround
5466 the DN's with quotation marks.
5472 Samba 3.0 supports an ldap backend for the idmap subsystem. The
5473 following options would inform Samba that the idmap table should be
5474 stored on the directory server onterose in the "ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,
5479 idmap backend = ldap:ldap://onterose/
5480 ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,dc=org
5481 idmap uid = 40000-50000
5482 idmap gid = 40000-50000
5484 This configuration allows winbind installations on multiple servers to
5485 share a uid/gid number space, thus avoiding the interoperability problems
5486 with NFS that were present in Samba 2.2.
5490 ######################################################################
5491 Trust Relationships and a Samba Domain
5492 ######################################
5494 Samba 3.0.0beta2 is able to utilize winbindd as the means of
5495 allocating uids and gids to trusted users and groups. More
5496 information regarding Samba's support for establishing trust
5497 relationships can be found in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection included
5498 in the docs/ directory of this release.
5500 First create your Samba PDC and ensure that everything is
5501 working correctly before moving on the trusts.
5503 To establish Samba as the trusting domain (named SAMBA) from a Windows NT
5504 4.0 domain named WINDOWS:
5506 1) create the trust account for SAMBA in "User Manager for Domains"
5507 2) connect the trust from the Samba domain using
5508 'net rpc trustdom establish GLASS'
5510 To create a trustlationship with SAMBA as the trusted domain:
5512 1) create the initial trust account for GLASS using
5513 'smbpasswd -a -i GLASS'. You may need to create a UNIX
5514 account for GLASS$ prior to this step (depending on your
5515 local configuration).
5516 2) connect the trust from a WINDOWS DC using "User Manager
5519 Now join winbindd on the Samba PDC to the SAMBA domain using
5520 the normal steps for adding a Samba server to an NT4 domain:
5521 (note that smbd & nmbd must be running at this point)
5523 root# net rpc join -U root
5524 Password: <enter root password from smbpasswd file here>
5526 Start winbindd and test the join with 'wbinfo -t'.
5528 Now test the trust relationship by connecting to the SAMBA DC
5529 (e.g. POGO) as a user from the WINDOWS domain:
5531 $ smbclient //pogo/netlogon -U Administrator -W WINDOWS
5534 Now connect to the WINDOWS DC (e.g. CRYSTAL) as a Samba user:
5536 $ smbclient //crystal/netlogon -U root -W WINDOWS
5539 ######################################################################
5543 Beginning with Samba3.0.0beta3, winbindd has been given new account
5544 manage functionality equivalent to the 'add user script' family of
5545 smb.conf parameters. The idmap design has also been changed to
5546 centralize control of foreign SID lookups and matching to UNIX
5550 Brief Description of Changes
5551 ----------------------------
5553 1) The sid_to_uid() family of functions (smbd/uid.c) have been
5554 reverted to the 2.2.x design. This means that when resolving a
5555 SID to a UID or similar mapping:
5557 a) First consult winbindd
5558 b) perform a local lookup only if winbindd fails to
5559 return a successful answer
5561 There are some variations to this, but these two rules generally
5564 2) All idmap lookups have been moved into winbindd. This means that
5565 a server must run winbindd (and support NSS) in order to achieve
5566 any mappings of SID to dynamically allocated UNIX ids. This was
5567 a conscious design choice.
5569 3) (OBSOLETE) New functions have been added to winbindd to emulate
5570 the 'add user script' family of smbd functions without requiring
5571 that external scripts be defined. This functionality is controlled
5572 by the 'winbind enable local accounts' smb.conf parameter (enabled
5575 However, this account management functionality is only supported
5576 in a local tdb (winbindd_idmap.tdb). If these new UNIX accounts
5577 must be shared among multiple Samba servers (such as a PDC and BDCs),
5578 it will be necessary to define your own 'add user script', et. al.
5579 programs that place the accounts/groups in some form of directory
5580 such as NIS or LDAP. This requirement was deemed beyond the scope
5581 of winbind's account management functions. Solutions for
5582 distributing UNIX system information have been deployed and tested
5583 for many years. We saw no need to reinvent the wheel.
5585 4) A member of a Samba controlled domain running winbindd is now able
5586 to map domain users directly onto existing UNIX accounts while still
5587 automatically creating accounts for trusted users and groups. This
5588 behavior is controlled by the 'winbind trusted domains only' smb.conf
5589 parameter (disabled by default to provide 2.2.x winbind behavior).
5591 5) Group mapping support is wrapped in the local_XX_to_XX() functions
5592 in smbd/uid.c. The reason that group mappings are not included
5593 in winbindd is because the purpose of Samba's group map is to
5594 match any Windows SID with an existing UNIX group. These UNIX
5595 groups can be created by winbindd (see next section), but the
5596 SID<->gid mapping is retreived by smbd, not winbindd.
5602 * security = server running winbindd to allocate accounts on demand
5604 * Samba PDC running winbindd to handle the automatic creation of UNIX
5605 identities for machine trust accounts
5607 * Automtically creating UNIX user and groups when migrating a Windows NT
5608 4.0 PDC to a Samba PDC. Winbindd must be running when executing
5609 'net rpc vampire' for this to work.
