48 Release Notes for Samba 3.4.2
50 =============================
53 This is a security release in order to address CVE-2009-2813, CVE-2009-2948
57 In all versions of Samba later than 3.0.11, connecting to the home
58 share of a user will use the root of the filesystem
59 as the home directory if this user is misconfigured to have
60 an empty home directory in /etc/passwd.
63 If mount.cifs is installed as a setuid program, a user can pass it a
64 credential or password path to which he or she does not have access and
65 then use the --verbose option to view the first line of that file.
66 All known Samba versions are affected.
69 Specially crafted SMB requests on authenticated SMB connections can
70 send smbd into a 100% CPU loop, causing a DoS on the Samba server.

252 Release Notes for Samba 3.4.0
254 =============================
257 This is the first stable release of Samba 3.4.
260 Major enhancements in Samba 3.4.0 include:
261 ------------------------------------------
263 Configuration changes:
264 o The default passdb backend has been changed to 'tdbsam'!
267 o Samba4 and Samba3 sources are included in the tarball
269 Authentication Changes:
270 o Changed the way smbd handles untrusted domain names given during user
274 o Various fixes including printer change notificiation for Samba spoolss
278 o The remaining hand-marshalled DCE/RPC services (ntsvcs, svcctl, eventlog
279 and spoolss) were replaced by autogenerated code based on PIDL.
280 o Samba3 and Samba4 do now share a common tevent library.
281 o The code has been cleaned up and the major basic interfaces are shared with
283 o An asynchronous API has been added.
286 Configuration changes
287 =====================
290 The default passdb backend has been changed to 'tdbsam'! That breaks existing
291 setups using the 'smbpasswd' backend without explicit declaration! Please use
292 'passdb backend = smbpasswd' if you would like to stick to the 'smbpasswd'
293 backend or convert your smbpasswd entries using e.g. 'pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e
296 The 'tdbsam' backend is much more flexible concerning per user settings
297 like 'profile path' or 'home directory' and there are some commands which do not
298 work with the 'smbpasswd' backend at all.
304 On the way towards a standalone Samba AD domain controller, Samba3 and Samba4
305 branches can be built as "merged" build. That's why Samba3 and Samba4 sources
306 are included in the tarball. The merged build is possible in Samba 3.4.0, but
307 disabled by default. To learn more about the merged build,
308 please see http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Franky.
310 According to this one, there is no "source" directory included in the tarball at
311 all. Samba3 sources are located in "source3", Samba4 sources are located in
312 "source4". The libraries have been moved to the toplevel directory.
314 To build plain Samba3, please change to "source3" and start the build as usual.
315 To build Samba4 as well, please use the "--enable-merged-build" configure
319 Authentication Changes
320 ======================
322 Previously, when Samba was a domain member and a client was connecting using an
323 untrusted domain name, such as BOGUS\user smbd would remap the untrusted
324 domain to the primary domain smbd was a member of and attempt authentication
325 using that DOMAIN\user name. This differed from how a Windows member server
326 would behave. Now, smbd will replace the BOGUS name with it's SAM name. In
327 the case where smbd is acting as a PDC this will be DOMAIN\user. In the case
328 where smbd is acting as a domain member server this will be WORKSTATION\user.
329 Thus, smbd will never assume that an incoming user name which is not qualified
330 with the same primary domain, is part of smbd's primary domain.
332 While this behavior matches Windows, it may break some workflows which depended
333 on smbd to always pass through bogus names to the DC for verification. A new
334 parameter "map untrusted to domain" can be enabled to revert to the legacy
341 The spoolss subsystem was replaced by autogenerated code based on PIDL. That fixes
342 several printing issues including printer change notificiation on Samba print
343 servers and will stabilize the printing functionality generally.
344 The support for spoolss printing with Windows Vista has been improved.
350 The remaining hand-marshalled DCE/RPC services (ntsvcs, svcctl, eventlog and
351 spoolss) were replaced by autogenerated code based on PIDL.
352 So Günther Deschner finally corrected one of the biggest mistakes in the
353 development of Samba: Hand-marshalled RPC stubs.
357 Samba3 and Samba4 do now share a common tevent library for fd and timer events.
359 The code has been cleaned up and Samba3 and Samba4 do share the major basic
360 interfaces now. That is why the libraries were moved to the toplevel directory.
361 That is one of the first steps to share code and minimize the gap between
364 An asynchronous API has been added.
