629 Release Notes for Samba 3.6.0
631 =============================
634 This is the first release of Samba 3.6.0.
636 Major enhancements in Samba 3.6.0 include:
639 Changed security defaults
640 -------------------------
642 Samba 3.6 has adopted a number of improved security defaults that will
643 impact on existing users of Samba.
645 client ntlmv2 auth = yes
646 client use spnego principal = no
647 send spnego principal = no
649 The impact of 'client ntlmv2 auth = yes' is that by default we will not
650 use NTLM authentication as a client. This applies to the Samba client
651 tools such as smbclient and winbind, but does not change the separately
652 released in-kernel CIFS client. To re-enable the poorer NTLM encryption
653 set '--option=clientusentlmv2auth=no' on your smbclient command line, or
654 set 'client ntlmv2 auth = no' in your smb.conf
656 The impact of 'client use spnego principal = no' is that Samba will
657 use CIFS/hostname to obtain a kerberos ticket, acting more like
658 Windows when using Kerberos against a CIFS server in smbclient,
659 winbind and other Samba client tools. This will change which servers
660 we will successfully negotiate kerberos connections to. This is due
661 to Samba no longer trusting a server-provided hint which is not
662 available from Windows 2008 or later. For correct operation with all
663 clients, all aliases for a server should be recorded as a as a
664 servicePrincipalName on the server's record in AD. (For this reason,
665 this behavior change and parameter was also made in Samba 3.5.9)
667 The impact of 'send spnego principal = no' is to match Windows 2008 and
668 not to send this principal, making existing clients give more consistent
669 behaviour (more likely to fall back to NTLMSSP) between Samba and
670 Windows 2008, and between Windows versions that did and no longer use
677 SMB2 support in 3.6.0 is fully functional (with one omission),
678 and can be enabled by setting:
682 in the [global] section of your smb.conf and re-starting
683 Samba. All features should work over SMB2 except the modification
684 of user quotas using the Windows quota management tools.
686 As this is the first release containing what we consider
687 to be a fully featured SMB2 protocol, we are not enabling
688 this by default, but encourage users to enable SMB2 and
689 test it. Once we have enough confirmation from Samba
690 users and OEMs that SMB2 support is stable in wide user
691 testing we will enable SMB2 by default in a future Samba
695 Internal Winbind passdb changes
696 -------------------------------
698 Winbind has been changed to use the internal samr and lsa rpc pipe to get
699 local user and group information instead of calling passdb functions. The
700 reason is to use more of our infrastructure and test this infrastructure by
701 using it. With this approach more code in Winbind is shared.
707 The spoolss and the old RAP printing code have been completely
708 overhauled and refactored.
710 All calls from lanman/printing code has been changed to go through the
711 spoolss RPC interfaces, this allows us to keep all checks in one place
712 and avoid special cases in the main printing code.
713 Printing code has been therefore confined within the spoolss code.
715 All the printing code, including the spoolss RPC interfaces has been
716 changed to use the winreg RPC interfaces to store all data.
717 All data has been migrated from custom, arbitrary TDB files to the
718 registry interface. This transition allow us to present correct data to
719 windows client accessing the server registry through the winreg RPC
720 interfaces to query for printer data. Data is served out from a real
721 registry implementation and therefore arguably 100% forward compatible.
723 Migration code from the previous TDB files formats is provided. This
724 code is automatically invoked the first time the new code is run on the
725 server. Although manual migration is also available using the 'net
726 printer migrate' command.
728 These changes not only make all the spoolss code much more closer to
729 "the spec", it also greatly improves our internal testing of both
730 spoolss and winreg interfaces, and reduces overall code duplication.
732 As part of this work, new tests have been also added to increase
735 This code will also allow, in future, an easy transition to split out
736 the spooling functions into a separate daemon for those OEMs that do not
737 need printing functionality in their appliances, reducing the code
744 The id mapping configuration has been a source of much grief in the past.
745 For this release, id mapping has been rewritten yet again with the goal
746 of making the configuration more simple and more coherent while keeping
747 the needed flexibility and even adding to the flexibility in some respects.
749 The major change that implies the configuration simplifications is at
750 the heart of the id mapping system: The separation of the "idmap alloc
751 system" that is responsible for the unix id counters in the tdb, tdb2
752 and ldap idmap backends from the id mapping code itself has been removed.
753 The sids_to_unixids operation is now atomic and encapsulates (if needed)
754 the action of allocating a unix id for a mapping that is to be created.
755 Consequently all idmap alloc configuration parameters have vanished and
756 it is hence now also not possible any more to specify an idmap alloc
757 backend different from the idmap backend. Each idmap backend uses its
758 own idmap unixid creation mechanism transparently.
760 As a consequence of the id mapping changes, the methods that are used
761 for storing and deleting id mappings have been removed from the winbindd
762 API. The "net idmap dump/restore" commands have been rewritten to
763 not speak through winbindd any more but directly act on the databases.
764 This is currently available for the tdb and tdb2 backends, the implementation
765 for ldap still missing.
767 The allocate_id functionality is preserved for the unix id creator of the
768 default idmap configuration is also used as the source of unix ids
769 for the group mapping database and for the posix attributes in a
770 ldapsam:editposix setup.
772 As part of the changes, the default idmap configuration has been
773 changed to be more coherent with the per-domain configuration.
774 The parameters "idmap uid", "idmap gid" and "idmap range" are now
775 deprecated in favour of the systematic "idmap config * : range"
776 and "idmap config * : backend" parameters. The reason for this change
777 is that the old options only provided an incomplete and hence deceiving
778 backwards compatibility, which was a source of many problems with
779 upgrades. By introducing this change in configuration, it should be
780 brought to the conciousness of the users that even the simple
781 id mapping is not working exactly as in Samba 3.0 versions any more.
787 As Microsoft is more and more relying on endpoint mapper and we didn't have a
788 complete implementation we decided to create an instance for Samba. The
789 endpoint mapper is like a DNS server but for ports. If you want to talk to a
790 certain RPC service over TCP/IP, you just ask the endpoint mapper on which
791 port it is running. Then you can connect to the service and make sure that it
794 The code is deactivated by default, because it needs more testing and it
795 doesn't scale yet. If you want to enable and test the endpoint mapper
796 you can set "rpc_server:epmapper = daemon" in the smb.conf file.
799 Internal restructuring
800 ----------------------
802 Ongoing internal restructuring for better separation of internal subsystem to
803 achieve a faster build, smaller binaries and cleaner dependencies for the samba3
810 Added the new SMB Traffic Analyzer (SMBTA) VFS module protocol 2
811 featuring encryption, multiple arguments, and easier parseability. A new
812 tool 'smbta-util' has been created to control the encryption behaviour
813 of SMBTA. For compatibility, SMBTA by default operates on version 1.
814 There are programs consuming the data that the module sends.
816 More information can be found on
817 http://holger123.wordpress.com/smb-traffic-analyzer/
820 NFS quota backend on Linux
821 --------------------------
823 A new nfs quota backend for Linux has been added that is based
824 on the existing Solaris/FreeBSD implementation. This allows samba
825 to communicate correct diskfree information for nfs imports that
826 are re-exported as samba shares.
