564 Release Notes for Samba 4.10.0
566 ==============================
569 This is the first stable release of the Samba 4.10 release series.
570 Please read the release notes carefully before upgrading.
579 A new 'samba-tool gpo backup' command has been added that can export a
580 set of Group Policy Objects from a domain in a generalised XML format.
582 A corresponding 'samba-tool gpo restore' command has been added to
583 rebuild the Group Policy Objects from the XML after generalization.
584 (The administrator needs to correct the values of XML entities between
585 the backup and restore to account for the change in domain).
590 The KDC now supports the pre-fork process model and worker processes will be
591 forked for the KDC when the pre-fork process model is selected for samba.
593 Prefork 'prefork children'
594 --------------------------
596 The default value for this smdb.conf parameter has been increased from 1 to
602 DCERPC now supports pre-forked NETLOGON processes. The netlogon processes are
603 pre-forked when the prefork process model is selected for samba.
605 Offline domain backups
606 ----------------------
608 The 'samba-tool domain backup' command has been extended with a new 'offline'
609 option. This safely creates a backup of the local DC's database directly from
610 disk. The main benefits of an offline backup are it's quicker, it stores more
611 database details (for forensic purposes), and the samba process does not have
612 to be running when the backup is made. Refer to the samba-tool help for more
613 details on using this command.
615 Group membership statistics
616 ---------------------------
618 A new 'samba-tool group stats' command has been added. This provides summary
619 information about how the users are spread across groups in your domain.
620 The 'samba-tool group list --verbose' command has also been updated to include
621 the number of users in each group.
623 Paged results LDAP control
624 --------------------------
626 The behaviour of the paged results control (1.2.840.113556.1.4.319, RFC2696)
627 has been changed to more closely match Windows servers, to improve memory
628 usage. Paged results may be used internally (or is requested by the user) by
629 LDAP libraries or tools that deal with large result sizes, for example, when
630 listing all the objects in the database.
632 Previously, results were returned as a snapshot of the database but now,
633 some changes made to the set of results while paging may be reflected in the
634 responses. If strict inter-record consistency is required in answers (which is
635 not possible on Windows with large result sets), consider avoiding the paged
636 results control or alternatively, it might be possible to enforce restrictions
637 using the LDAP filter expression.
639 For further details see https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Paged_Results
641 Prefork process restart
642 -----------------------
644 The pre-fork process model now restarts failed processes. The delay between
645 restart attempts is controlled by the "prefork backoff increment" (default = 10)
646 and "prefork maximum backoff" (default = 120) smbd.conf parameters. A linear
647 back off strategy is used with "prefork backoff increment" added to the
648 delay between restart attempts up until it reaches "prefork maximum backoff".
650 Using the default sequence the restart delays (in seconds) are:
651 0, 10, 20, ..., 120, 120, ...
653 Standard process model
654 ----------------------
656 When using the standard process model samba forks a new process to handle ldap
657 and netlogon connections. Samba now honours the 'max smbd processes' smb.conf
658 parameter. The default value of 0, indicates there is no limit. The limit
659 is applied individually to netlogon and ldap. When the process limit is
660 exceeded Samba drops new connections immediately.
665 This is the first release of Samba which has full support for Python 3.
666 Samba 4.10 still has support for Python 2, however, Python 3 will be used by
667 default, i.e. 'configure' & 'make' will execute using python3.
669 To build Samba with python2 you *must* set the 'PYTHON' environment variable
670 for both the 'configure' and 'make' steps, i.e.
671 'PYTHON=python2 ./configure'
672 'PYTHON=python2 make'
673 This will override the python3 default.
675 Alternatively, it is possible to produce Samba Python bindings for both
676 Python 2 and Python 3. To do so, specify '--extra-python=/usr/bin/python2'
677 as part of the 'configure' command. Note that python3 will still be used as
678 the default in this case.
680 Note that Samba 4.10 supports Python 3.4 onwards.
682 Future Python support
683 ---------------------
685 Samba 4.10 will be the last release that comes with full support for
686 Python 2. Unfortunately, the Samba Team doesn't have the resources to support
687 both Python 2 and Python 3 long-term.
689 Samba 4.11 will not have any runtime support for Python 2. This means if
690 you use Python 2 bindings it is time to migrate to Python 3 now.
692 If you are building Samba using the '--disable-python' option (i.e. you're
693 excluding all the run-time Python support), then this will continue to work
694 on a system that supports either python2 or python3.
696 Also note that Samba 4.11 will most likely only support Python 3.6 onwards.
701 Authentication messages now contain the Windows Event Id "eventId" and logon
702 type "logonType". The supported event codes and logon types are:
704 4624 Successful logon
705 4625 Unsuccessful logon
712 The version number for Authentication messages is now 1.1, changed from 1.0
714 Password change messages now contain the Windows Event Id "eventId", the
715 supported event Id's are:
716 4723 Password changed
719 The version number for PasswordChange messages is now 1.1, changed from 1.0
721 Group membership change messages now contain the Windows Event Id "eventId",
722 the supported event Id's are:
723 4728 A member was added to a security enabled global group
724 4729 A member was removed from a security enabled global group
725 4732 A member was added to a security enabled local group
726 4733 A member was removed from a security enabled local group
727 4746 A member was added to a security disabled local group
728 4747 A member was removed from a security disabled local group
729 4751 A member was added to a security disabled global group
730 4752 A member was removed from a security disabled global group
731 4756 A member was added to a security enabled universal group
732 4757 A member was removed from a security enabled universal group
733 4761 A member was added to a security disabled universal group
734 4762 A member was removed from a security disabled universal group
737 The version number for GroupChange messages is now 1.1, changed from 1.0. Also
738 A GroupChange message is generated when a new user is created to log that the
739 user has been added to their primary group.
741 The leading "JSON <message type>:" and source file prefix of the JSON formatted
742 log entries has been removed to make the parsing of the JSON log messages
743 easier. JSON log entries now start with 2 spaces followed by an opening brace
746 SMBv2 samba-tool support
747 ------------------------
749 On previous releases, some samba-tool commands would not work against a remote
750 DC that had SMBv1 disabled. SMBv2 support has now been added for samba-tool.
751 The affected commands are 'samba-tool domain backup|rename' and the
752 'samba-tool gpo' set of commands. Refer also bug #13676.
754 New glusterfs_fuse VFS module
755 -----------------------------
757 The new vfs_glusterfs_fuse module improves performance when Samba
758 accesses a glusterfs volume mounted via FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace
759 as part of the Linux kernel). It achieves that by leveraging a
760 mechanism to retrieve the appropriate case of filenames by querying a
761 specific extended attribute in the filesystem. No extra configuration
762 is required to use this module, only glusterfs_fuse needs to be set in
763 the "vfs objects" parameter. Further details can be found in the
764 vfs_glusterfs_fuse(8) manpage. This new vfs_glusterfs_fuse module does
765 not replace the existing vfs_glusterfs module, it just provides an
766 additional, alternative mechanism to access a Gluster volume.
771 MIT Kerberos build of the AD DC
772 -------------------------------
774 While not removed, the MIT Kerberos build of the Samba AD DC is still
775 considered experimental. Because Samba will not issue security
776 patches for this configuration, such builds now require the explicit
777 configure option: --with-experimental-mit-ad-dc
779 For further details see
780 https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Running_a_Samba_AD_DC_with_MIT_Kerberos_KDC
785 The samba_backup script has been removed. This has now been replaced by the
786 'samba-tool domain backup offline' command.
788 SMB client Python bindings
789 --------------------------
791 The SMB client python bindings are now deprecated and will be removed in future
792 Samba releases. This will only affects users that may have used the Samba
793 Python bindings to write their own utilities, i.e. users with a custom Python
794 script that includes the line 'from samba import smb'.
799 Parameter Name Description Default
800 -------------- ----------- -------
801 prefork backoff increment Delay added to process restart 10 (seconds)
803 prefork maximum backoff Maximum delay for process between 120 (seconds)
804 process restart attempts
805 smbd search ask sharemode Name changed, old name was
806 "smbd:search ask sharemode"
807 smbd async dosmode Name changed, old name was
809 smbd max async dosmode Name changed, old name was
810 "smbd:max async dosmode"
811 smbd getinfo ask sharemode New: similar to "smbd search ask yes
812 sharemode" but for SMB getinfo
