2 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.23b
4 ===============================
6 This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version
7 that production Samba servers should be running for all current
8 bug-fixes. Please read the changes in this section and for the
9 original 3.0.23 release regarding new features and difference
10 in behavior from previous releases.
12 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.23b include:
14 o Ambiguity with unqualified names in smb.conf parameters
15 such as "force user" and "valid users".
16 o Errors in 'net ads join' caused by bad IP address in the list
17 of domain controllers.
18 o SMB signing errors in the client and server code.
19 o Domain join failures when using smbpasswd on a Samba PDC.
22 Member servers, domain accounts, and smb.conf
23 =============================================
25 Since Samba 3.0.8, it has been recommended that all domain accounts
26 listed in smb.conf on a member server be fully qualified with
27 the domain name. This is now a requirement. All unqualified names
28 are assumed to be local to the Unix host, either as part of the
29 server's local passdb or in the local system list of accounts
30 (e.g. /etc/passwd or /etc/group).
32 The reason for this change is that smbd has transitioned from
33 access checks based on string comparisons to token based
34 authorization. All names are resolved to a SID and they verified
35 against the logged on user's NT user token. Local names will
36 resolve to a local SID, while qualified domain names will resolve
37 to the appropriate domain SID.
39 If the member server is not running winbindd at all, domain
40 accounts will be implicitly mapped to local accounts and their
41 tokens will be modified appropriately to reflect the local
42 SID and group membership.
44 For example, the following share will restrict access to the
45 domain group "Linux Admins" and the local group srvadmin.
49 valid users = +"DOMAIN\Linux Admins" +srvadmin
51 Note that to restrict the [homes] share on a member server, it
52 is necessary to prefix the %S valid to "valid users".

220 ==============================
221 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.23
223 ==============================
225 There has been a substantial amount of cleanup work done during
226 this development cycle. We would like to thank both Coverity
227 (http://www.coverity.com/) and Klocwork (http://www.klocwork.com/)
228 for analyzing the Samba source code. As a result, this release
229 includes fixes for over 400 defects. The coverage was approximately
230 even with over 200 defects reported by each tool.
232 Thanks very much to those people who spent time testing the
233 release candidates and reported their findings. We would like to
234 especially thank Thomas Bork <tombork@web.de> for his numerous
235 reports. We believe that the final release is in much better shape
236 in large part due to his efforts.
238 New features in 3.0.23 include:
240 o Improved 'make test'
241 o New offline mode in winbindd.
242 o New Kerberos support for pam_winbind.so.
243 o New handling of unmapped users and groups.
244 o New non-root share management tools.
245 o Improved support for local and BUILTIN groups.
246 o Winbind IDMAP integration with RFC2307 schema objects supported
248 o Rewritten 'net ads join' to mimic Windows XP without requiring
249 administrative rights to join a domain.
252 User and Group changes
253 ======================
255 The user and group internal management routines have been
256 rewritten to prevent overlaps of assigned Relative Identifiers
257 (RIDs). In the past the has been a potential problem when either
258 manually mapping Unix groups with the 'net groupmap' command or
259 when migrating a Windows domain to a Samba domain using 'net rpc
262 Unmapped users are now assigned a SID in the S-1-22-1 domain and
263 unmapped groups are assigned a SID in the S-1-22-2 domain.
264 Previously they were assign a RID within the SAM on the Samba
265 server. For a DC this would have been under the authority of the
266 domain SID where as on a member server or standalone host, this
267 would have been under the authority of the local SAM (hint: net
270 The result is that any unmapped users or groups on an upgraded
271 Samba domain controller may be assigned a new SID. Because the
272 SID rather than a name is stored in Windows security descriptors,
273 this can cause a user to no longer have access to a resource for
274 example if a file was copied from a Samba file server to a local
275 NTFS partition. Any files stored on the Samba server itself will
276 continue to be accessible because Unix stores the Unix gid and not
277 the SID for authorization checks.
279 A further example will help illustrate the change. Assume that a
280 group named 'developers' exists with a Unix gid of 782 but this
281 user does not exist in Samba's group mapping table. it would be
282 perfectly normal for this group to be appear in an ACL editor.
283 Prior to 3.0.23, the group SID might appear as
284 S-1-5-21-647511796-4126122067-3123570092-2565. With 3.0.23, the
285 group SID would be reported as S-1-22-2-782. Any security
286 descriptors associated with files stored on an NTFS disk partition
287 would not allow access based on the group permissions if the user
288 was not a member of the
289 S-1-5-21-647511796-4126122067-3123570092-2565 group. Because this
290 group SID not reported in a user's token is S-1-22-2-782, Windows
291 would fail the authorization check even though both SIDs in some
292 respect referred to the same Unix group.
294 The current workaround is to create a manual domain group mapping
295 entry for the group 'developers' to point at the
296 S-1-5-21-647511796-4126122067-3123570092-2565 SID.
302 The "passdb backend" parameter no long accepts multiple backends
303 in a chaining configuration. Also be aware that the SQL and XML
304 based passdb modules have been removed in this release. More
305 information of external support for a SQL passdb module can be
306 found at http://pdbsql.sourceforge.net/.
309 Group Mapping Changes
310 =====================
312 The default mapping entries for groups such as "Domain Admins" are
313 no longer created when using an smbpasswd file or a tdbsam passdb
314 backend. This means that it is necessary to use 'net groupmap
315 add' rather than 'net groupmap modify' to set these entries.
316 This change has no effect on winbindd's IDmap functionality for
323 There has also been a minor update the Samba LDAP schema file. A
324 substring matching rule has been added to the sambaSID attribute
325 definition. For OpenLDAP servers, this will require the addition
326 of 'index sambaSID sub' to the slapd.conf configuration file. It
327 will be necessary to run slapindex after making this change. There
328 has been no change to actual data storage schema.

981 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.22
983 ==============================
985 This is a security release of Samba. The Samba 3.0.21 release
986 series (including the patch releases a through c) has been
987 discovered to expose the clear text of the server's machine
988 account credentials in the winbind log files when the log
989 level is set to 5 or higher. This defect has been assigned
990 the CVE number CAN-2006-1059.
995 The machine trust account password is the secret shared
996 between a domain controller and a specific member server.
997 Access to the member server machine credentials allows
998 an attacker to impersonate the server in the domain and
999 gain access to additional information regarding domain
1002 The winbindd daemon included in Samba 3.0.21 and subsequent
1003 patch releases (3.0.21a-c) writes the clear text of server's
1004 machine credentials to its log file at level 5. The winbindd
1005 log files are world readable by default and often log files
1006 are requested on open mailing lists as tools used to debug
1007 server misconfigurations.
1009 This affects servers configured to use domain or ads security
1010 and possibly Samba domain controllers as well (if configured

1875 o Minor build difficulties on various platforms such as
1876 Solaris and OpenBSD,
1879 Winbind, security = domain, and Active Directory
1880 ================================================
1882 Recent security updates for Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 have
1883 changed the fashion in which user and group lists can be obtained
1884 from domain controllers. In short, the RPC mechanisms used by
1885 "security = domain" to retrieve users and groups is not compatible
1886 with these changes. The "security = ads" configuration is not
1887 affected by the Windows protocol changes.
1889 Samba developers are actively working to correct this problem in
1890 the 3.0.21 release. In the meantime, Administrators who are unable
1891 to migrate to "security = ads" and must continue using "security =
1892 domain", can define credentials to be used by winbindd for account
1893 enumeration by executing the following command as root.
1895 wbinfo --set-auth-user='DOMAIN\username%password'

2016 ==============================
2017 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.20
2019 ==============================
2021 Additional features introduced in Samba 3.0.20 include:
2023 o Support for several new Win32 rpc pipes.
2024 o Improved support for OS/2 clients.
2025 o New 'net rpc service' tool for managing Win32 services.
2026 o Capability to set the owner on new files and directory
2027 based on the parent's ownership.
2028 o Experimental, asynchronous IO file serving support.
2029 o Completed Support for Microsoft Print Migrator.
2030 o New Winbind IDmap plugin (ad) for retrieving uid and gid
2031 from AD servers which maintain the SFU user and group
2033 o Rewritten support for POSIX pathnames when utilizing
2034 the Linux CIFS fs client.
2035 o New asynchronous winbindd.
2036 o Support for Microsoft Print Migrator.
2037 o New Windows NT registry file I/O library.
2038 o New user right (SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege) added.
2039 o New "net share migrate" options.
2042 What happened to 3.0.15 - 3.0.19?
2043 ==================================
2045 After some discussion it was deemed that the amount of changes
2046 going into the next Samba 3.0 release needed something to catch
2047 people's attention. Skipping several releases was chosen as
2048 the best solution with the least overhead. There will be no
2049 3.0.15 - 3.0.19 ever released. The next production release
2050 following 3.0.20 should be 3.0.21.
2052 The original announcement about the version number change can
2053 be found in the samba mailing list archives:
2055 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&m=111721010206997&w=2
2058 Asynchronous Winbind Implementation
2059 ===================================
2061 Winbindd has been completely rewritten in this release to support
2062 an almost completely non-blocking, asynchronous request/reply
2063 model. This means that winbindd will scale much better in
2064 large domain environments and on high latency networks. Neither
2065 the client interface nor the command line tools (i.e. wbinfo) have
2066 changed in their calling conventions or syntax. However, due to
2067 internal structure changes, it is required (more so than normal)
2068 that you install the nss_winbind.so library included in this release.
2071 Support for Microsoft Print Migrator
2072 ====================================
2074 Samba 3.0.20 includes full support for migrating printers from
2075 Windows servers or other Samba servers via the Microsoft Print
2076 Migrator tool. Restoring printers requires a working "add printer
2077 command" defined in smb.conf. Current support also allows
2078 administrators to create a master list of printer drivers which
2079 can be restored in bulk on new (or existing) Samba installations.
2082 Asynchronous IO Support
2083 =======================
2085 Experimental support for async IO has been added to smbd for
2086 certain platforms. To enable this new feature, Samba must be
2087 compiled to include the --with-aio-support configure option.
2088 In addition, the "aio read size" and "aio write size" to non-zero
2089 values. See the smb.conf(5) man page for more details on these

2990 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.12
2992 ==============================
2994 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.12 include:
2996 o Winbind failures when using 'disable netbios = yes'
2997 o Failure to establish a trust relationship via 'net rpc trust
2999 o Various portability & compiler issues.
3000 o Read only file deletion failure caused by new delete semantics
3001 in Windows XP SP2 and the MS 04-044 security hotfix.

3024 =======================
3025 Large Directory Support
3026 =======================
3028 Samba 3.0.12pre1 introduces a specific mechanism for dealing
3029 with file services that frequently contain a large number of files
3030 per directory. Historically Samba's performance has suffered
3031 in such environments due to the translation from case
3032 insensitive lookups by Windows client to the case sensitive
3033 storage mechanisms used by UNIX filesystems.
3035 Configuration details along with a short HOWTO can be found at:
3037 http://www.samba.org/samba/ftp/HOWTO/Samba-LargeDirectory-HOWTO
3040 ==================================
3041 libsmbclient Binary Compatibility
3042 ==================================
3044 Please note that a change has been made to the _SMBCCTX structure
3045 in source/include/libsmbclient.h. This change is not backwards
3046 compatible with applications linked against the libsmbclient.so
3047 library from Samba 3.0.11. However, it is compatible with all
3048 other Samba 3.0.x releases. This means that it will be most likely
3049 be necessary to recompile any applications linked against the
3050 3.0.11 version of the library.

3364 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.11
3366 ==============================
3368 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.11 include:
3370 o Crash in smbd when using CUPS printing.
3371 o Parsing error of other SIDs included in the user_info_3
3372 structure returned from domain controllers.
3373 o Inefficiencies when searching non-AD LDAP directories.
3374 o Failure to expand variables in user domain attributes
3375 in tdbsam and ldapsam.
3377 o Failure to retrieve certain attribute when migrating from
3378 a Windows DC to a Samba DC via 'net rpc vampire'.
3379 o Numerous printing bugs bugs including memory
3380 bloating on large/busy print servers.
3381 o Compatibility issues with Exchange 5.5 SP4.
3384 Additional features introduced in Samba 3.0.11:
3386 o Winbindd performance improvements.
3387 o More 'net rpc vampire' functionality.
3388 o Support for the Windows privilege model to assign rights
3390 o New administrative options to the 'net rpc' command.
3397 If "ldap user suffix" or "ldap machine suffix" are defined in
3398 smb.conf, all user-accounts must reside below the user suffix,
3399 and all machine and inter-domain trust-accounts must be located
3400 below the machine suffix. Previous Samba releases would fall
3401 back to searching the 'ldap suffix' in some cases.
3408 Samba 3.0.11 supports the following assignable rights
3410 SeMachineAccountPrivilege Add machines to domain
3411 SePrintOperatorPrivilege Manage printers
3412 SeAddUsersPrivilege Add users and groups to the domain
3413 SeRemoteShutdownPrivilege Force shutdown from a remote system
3414 SeDiskOperatorPrivilege Manage disk shares
3416 These rights can be assigned to arbitrary users or groups
3417 via the 'net rpc rights grant/revoke' command. More details
3418 of Samba's privilege implementation can be found in the
3419 Samba-HOWTO-Collection.

3946 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.8
3948 =============================
3950 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.8 include:
3952 o Compile fixes for HP-UX
3953 o Fixes for the printer publishing code used when joined to
3955 o Incompatibilities with file system quotas.
3956 o Several bugs in the spoolss printing code and print system
3958 o Inconsistencies in the username map functionality when
3959 configured on domain member servers.
3960 o Various compile warnings and errors on various platforms.
3961 o Fixes for Kerberos interoperability with Windows 200x
3962 domains when using DES keys.
3963 o Fix for CAN-2004-0930 -- smbd remote DoS vulnerability.
3964 o Fix for CAN-2004-0882 -- possible buffer overrun in smbd.
3967 New features included in the 3.0.8 release are:
3969 o New migration functionality added the the net tool
3970 for files/directories, printers, and shares.
3971 o New experimental idmap backend for assigning uids/gids
3972 directly based on the user/group RID when acting as a
3973 member of single domain without any trusts.
3974 o Additional printer migration support for XP/2003 platforms.
3977 ===========================
3978 Change in Winbindd Behavior
3979 ===========================
3981 All usernames returned by winbindd are now converted to lower
3982 case for better consistency. This means any winbind installation
3983 relying on the winbind username will need to rename existing
3984 directories and/or files based on the username (%u and %U) to lower
3985 case (e.g. mv $name `echo $name | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`). This may
3986 include mail spool files, home directories, valid user lines in
3990 ======================
3991 Change in Username Map
3992 ======================
3994 Previous Samba releases would only support reading the fully qualified
3995 username (e.g. DOMAIN\user) from the username map when performing a
3996 Kerberos login from a client. However, when looking up a map
3997 entry for a user authenticated by NTLM[SSP], only the login name would be
3998 used for matches. This resulted in inconsistent behavior sometimes
3999 even on the same server.
4001 Samba 3.0.8 obeys the following rules when applying the username
4004 * When performing local authentication, the username map is
4005 applied to the login name before attempting to authenticate
4007 * When relying upon a external domain controller for validating
4008 authentication requests, smbd will apply the username map
4009 to the fully qualified username (i.e. DOMAIN\user) only
4010 after the user has been successfully authenticated.

4547 =============================
4548 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.6
4550 =============================
4552 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.6 include:
4554 o Schannel failure in winbindd.
4555 o Numerous memory leaks.
4556 o Incompatibilities between the 'write list' and 'force user'
4558 o Premature optimization of the open_directory() internal
4559 function that broke tools such as the ArcServe backup
4560 agent, Macromedia HomeSite, and Robocopy.
4561 o Corrupt workgroup names in nmbd's browse.dat.
4562 o Sharing violation errors commonly seen when opening
4563 when serving Microsoft Office documents from a Samba
4565 o Browsing problems caused by an apostrophe (') in the
4566 computer's description field.
4567 o Problems creating special file types from UNIX CIFS
4568 clients and enabling 'unix extensions'.
4569 o Fix stalls in smbd caused by inaccessible LDAP servers.
4570 o Remove various memory leaks.
4571 o Fix issues in the password lockout feature.
4573 New features introduced in this release include:
4575 O Support symlinks created by CIFS clients which
4576 can be followed on the server.
4577 o Using a cups server other than localhost.
4578 o Maintaining the service principal entry in the system
4579 keytab for integration with other kerberized services.
4580 Please refer to the 'use Kerberos keytab' entry in
4581 smb.conf(5). When using the heimdal Kerberos libraries,
4582 you must also specify the following in /etc/krb5.conf:
4584 default_keytab_name = FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab
4585 o Support for maintaining individual printer names
4586 stored separately from the printer's sharename.
4587 o Support for maintaining user password history.
4588 o Support for honoring the logon times for user in a
4592 ============================================
4593 unix extensions = yes (default) and symlinks
4594 ============================================
4596 Beginning with Samba 3.0.6pre1 (formerly known as 3.0.5pre1),
4597 clients supporting the UNIX extensions to the CIFS protocol
4598 can create symlinks to absolute paths which will be **followed**
4599 by the server. This functionality has been requested in order
4600 to correctly support certain applications when the user's home
4601 directory is mounted using some type of CIFS client (e.g. the
4602 cifsvfs in the Linux 2.6 kernel).
4604 If this behavior is not acceptable for your production environment
4605 you can set 'wide links = no' in the specific share declaration in
4606 the server's smb.conf. Be aware that disabling wide link support
4607 out of a share in Samba may impact the server's performance due
4608 to the fact that smbd will now have to check each path additional
4609 times before traversing it.
4612 ========================
4613 Password History Support
4614 ========================
4616 The new password history feature allows smbd to check the new
4617 password in password change requests against a list of the user's
4618 previous passwords. The number of previous passwords to save can
4619 be set using pdbedit (4 in this example):
4621 root# pdbedit -P "password history" -C 4
4623 When using the ldapsam passdb backend, it is vital to secure the
4624 following attributes from access by non-administrative users:
4628 * sambaPasswordHistory
4630 You should refer to your directory server's documentation on how
4631 to implement this restriction.

4888 which they connected in the case of a multi-homed host. Only
4889 affects strings the spoolss printing replies.
4890 * Fix the bad password lockout. This has not worked as pdb_ldap.c
4891 did not ask for the modifyTimestamp attribute, so it could

5047 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.5
5049 =============================
5051 Please note that Samba 3.0.5 is identical to Samba 3.0.4 with
5052 the exception of correcting the two security issues outlined
5055 ######################## SECURITY RELEASE ########################
5057 Summary: Multiple Potential Buffer Overruns in Samba 3.0.x
5058 CVE ID: CAN-2004-0600, CAN-2004-0686
5059 (http://cve.mitre.org/)
5062 This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version
5063 that production Samba servers should be running for all current
5066 It has been confirmed that versions of Samba 3 prior to v3.0.4
5067 are vulnerable to two potential buffer overruns. The individual
5068 details are given below.
5074 Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.2 and later
5076 The internal routine used by the Samba Web Administration
5077 Tool (SWAT v3.0.2 and later) to decode the base64 data
5078 during HTTP basic authentication is subject to a buffer
5079 overrun caused by an invalid base64 character. It is
5080 recommended that all Samba v3.0.2 or later installations
5081 running SWAT either (a) upgrade to v3.0.5, or (b) disable
5082 the swat administration service as a temporary workaround.
5084 This same code is used internally to decode the
5085 sambaMungedDial attribute value when using the ldapsam
5086 passdb backend. While we do not believe that the base64
5087 decoding routines used by the ldapsam passdb backend can
5088 be exploited, sites using an LDAP directory service with
5089 Samba are strongly encouraged to verify that the DIT only
5090 allows write access to sambaSamAccount attributes by a
5091 sufficiently authorized user.
5093 The Samba Team would like to heartily thank Evgeny Demidov
5094 for analyzing and reporting this bug.
5100 Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.0 and later
5102 A buffer overrun has been located in the code used to support
5103 the 'mangling method = hash' smb.conf option. Please be aware
5104 that the default setting for this parameter is 'mangling method
5105 = hash2' and therefore not vulnerable.
5107 Affected Samba 3 installations can avoid this possible security
5108 bug by using the default hash2 mangling method. Server
5109 installations requiring the hash mangling method are encouraged
5110 to upgrade to Samba 3.0.5.

5683 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2a
5685 ==============================
5687 Samba 3.0.2a is a minor patch release for the 3.0.2 code base
5688 to address, in particular, a problem when using pdbedit to
5689 sanitize (--force-initialized-passwords) Samba's tdbsam
5690 backend. This is the latest stable release of Samba. This
5691 is the version that all production Samba servers should be
5692 running for all current bug-fixes.
5694 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
5696 Beginning with Samba 3.0.2, passwords for accounts with a last
5697 change time (LCT-XXX in smbpasswd, sambaPwdLastSet attribute in
5698 ldapsam, etc...) of zero (0) will be regarded as uninitialized
5699 strings. This will cause authentication to fail for such
5700 accounts. If you have valid passwords that meet this criteria,
5701 you must update the last change time to a non-zero value. If you
5702 do not, then 'pdbedit --force-initialized-passwords' will disable
5703 these accounts and reset the password hashes to a string of X's.
5705 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
5714 Please refer to the CVS log for the SAMBA_3_0 branch for complete
5715 details. The list of changes per contributor are as follows:
5718 o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
5719 * Added paranoia checks in parsing code.
5722 o Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org>
5723 * Ensure that changes to uninitialized passwords in ldapsam
5724 are written to the DIT.
5727 o Gerald (Jerry) Carter <jerry@samba.org>
5728 * Fixed iterator in tdbsam.
5729 * Fix bug that disabled accounts with a valid NT password
5730 hash, but no LanMan hash.
5733 o Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
5734 * Added missing nosetuid and noexec options.
5737 o Bostjan Golob <golob@gimb.org>
5738 * BUG 1046: Don't overwrite usernames of entries returned
5742 o Sebastian Krahmer <krahmer@suse.de>

5756 =============================
5757 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2
5759 =============================
5761 It has been confirmed that previous versions of Samba 3.0 are
5762 susceptible to a password initialization bug that could grant an
5763 attacker unauthorized access to a user account created by the
5764 mksmbpasswd.sh shell script.
5766 The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
5767 has assigned the name CAN-2004-0082 to this issue.
5769 Samba administrators not wishing to upgrade to the current
5770 version should download the 3.0.2 release, build the pdbedit
5773 root# pdbedit-3.0.2 --force-initialized-passwords
5775 This will disable all accounts not possessing a valid password
5776 (e.g. the password field has been set a string of X's).
5778 Samba servers running 3.0.2 are not vulnerable to this bug
5779 regardless of whether or not pdbedit has been used to sanitize
5782 Some of the more visible bugs in 3.0.1 addressed in the 3.0.2
5785 o Joining a Samba domain from Pre-SP2 Windows 2000 clients.
5786 o Logging onto a Samba domain from Windows XP clients.
5787 o Problems with the %U and %u smb.conf variables in relation to
5788 Windows 9x/ME clients.
5789 o Kerberos failures due to an invalid in memory keytab detection
5791 o Updates to the ntlm_auth tool.
5792 o Fixes for various SMB signing errors.
5793 o Better separation of WINS and DNS queries for domain controllers.
5794 o Issues with nss_winbind FreeBSD and Solaris.
5795 o Several crash bugs in smbd and winbindd.
5796 o Output formatting fixes for smbclient for better compatibility
5797 with scripts based on the 2.2 version.

6237 'winbind trusted domains only = yes' (bug 680).
6238 o Remove code in idmap_ldap that searches the user suffix and group
6239 suffix. It's not needed and provides inconsistent functionality
6240 from the tdb backend.
6241 o Patch to handle munged dial string for Windows 2000 TSE.
6242 Thanks to Gaz de France, Direction de la Recherche, Service
6243 Informatique Métier for their supporting this work by Aurelien

6262 o Fix a handful of potential memory leaks in the LDAP code used
6263 by ldapsam[_compat] and the LDAP idmap backend.
6264 o Fix for pdbedit error code returns (bug 763).
6265 o Make sure we only enumerate group mapping entries (not
6266 /etc/group) even when doing local aliases.
6267 o Relax check on the pipe name in a dce/rpc bind response to work
6268 around issues with establishing trusts to a Windows 2003 domain.
6269 o Ensure we mangle names ending in '.' in hash2 mangling method.
6270 o Correct parsing issues with munged dial string.
6271 o Fix bugs in quota support for XFS.
6272 o Add a cleaner method for applications that need to provide

6274 know the winbindd pipe protocol.
6275 o Adds a variant of the winbindd_getgroups() call called
6276 winbindd_getusersids() that provides direct SID->SIDs listing of
6277 a users supplementary groups. This is enough to allow non-Samba
6278 applications to do ACL checking.
6279 o Make sure we don't append the 'ldap suffix' when writing out the
6280 'ldap XXX suffix' values in SWAT (bug 328).
6281 o Fix renames across file systems.

6369 The original 3.0.0 release notes follow
6370 =======================================
6371 WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.0
6373 =======================================
6379 1) Active Directory support. Samba 3.0 is now able to
6380 join a ADS realm as a member server and authenticate
6381 users using LDAP/Kerberos.
6383 2) Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate UNICODE on the wire
6384 and internally there is now a much better infrastructure for
6385 multi-byte and UNICODE character sets.
6387 3) New authentication system. The internal authentication system
6388 has been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are
6389 internal, but the new auth system is also very configurable.
6391 4) New default filename mangling system.
6393 5) A new "net" command has been added. It is somewhat similar to
6394 the "net" command in windows. Eventually we plan to replace
6395 numerous other utilities (such as smbpasswd) with subcommands
6398 6) Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
6399 improves error handling a lot.
6401 7) Better Windows 2000/XP/2003 printing support including publishing
6402 printer attributes in active directory.
6404 8) New loadable module support for passdb backends and character
6407 9) New default dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance.
6409 10) Support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Samba
6410 domain and maintaining user, group and domain SIDs.
6412 11) Support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
6415 12) Initial support for a distributed Winbind architecture using
6416 an LDAP directory for storing SID to uid/gid mappings.
6418 13) Major updates to the Samba documentation tree.
6420 14) Full support for client and server SMB signing to ensure
6421 compatibility with default Windows 2003 security settings.
6423 15) Improvement of ACL mapping features based on code donated by
6424 Andreas Grünbacher.
6427 Plus lots of other improvements!
6430 Additional Documentation
6431 ------------------------
6433 Please refer to Samba documentation tree (included in the docs/
6434 subdirectory) for extensive explanations of installing, configuring
6435 and maintaining Samba 3.0 servers and clients. It is advised to
6436 begin with the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for overviews and specific
6437 tasks (the current book is up to approximately 400 pages) and to
6438 refer to the various man pages for information on individual options.
6440 We are very glad to be able to include the second edition of
6441 "Using Samba" by Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown
6442 (O'Reilly & Associates) in this release. The book is available
6443 on-line at http://samba.org/samba/docs/ and is included with
6444 the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). Thanks to the authors and
6445 publisher for making "Using Samba" under the GNU Free Documentation
6449 ######################################################################
6450 Upgrading from a previous Samba 3.0 beta
6451 ########################################
6453 Beginning with Samba 3.0.0beta3, the RID allocation functions
6454 have been moved into winbindd. Previously these were handled
6455 by each passdb backend. This means that winbindd must be running
6456 to automatically allocate RIDs for users and/or groups. Otherwise,
6457 smbd will use the 2.2 algorithm for generating new RIDs.
6459 If you are using 'passdb backend = tdbsam' with a previous Samba
6460 3.0 beta release (or possibly alpha), it may be necessary to
6461 move the RID_COUNTER entry from /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
6462 to winbindd_idmap.tdb. To do this:
6464 1) Ensure that winbindd_idmap.tdb exists (launch winbindd at least
6466 2) build tdbtool by executing 'make tdbtool' in the source/tdb/
6468 3) run: (note that 'tdb>' is the tool's prompt for input)
6470 root# ./tdbtool /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
6471 tdb> show RID_COUNTER
6475 [000] 0A 52 00 00 .R.
6477 tdb> move RID_COUNTER /usr/local/samba/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb
6481 If you are using 'passdb backend = ldapsam', it will be necessary to
6482 store idmap entries in the LDAP directory as well (i.e. idmap backend
6483 = ldap). Refer to the 'net idmap' command for more information on
6484 migrating SID<->UNIX id mappings from one backend to another.
6486 If the RID_COUNTER record does not exist, then these instructions are
6487 unneccessary and the new RID_COUNTER record will be correctly generated

6667 This section contains brief descriptions of any new databases
6668 introduced in Samba 3.0. Please remember to backup your existing
6669 ${lock directory}/*tdb before upgrading to Samba 3.0. Samba will
6670 upgrade databases as they are opened (if necessary), but downgrading
6671 from 3.0 to 2.2 is an unsupported path.
6673 Name Description Backup?
6674 ---- ----------- -------
6675 account_policy User policy settings yes
6676 gencache Generic caching db no
6677 group_mapping Mapping table from Windows yes
6678 groups/SID to unix groups
6679 winbindd_idmap ID map table from SIDS to UNIX yes
6681 namecache Name resolution cache entries no
6682 netsamlogon_cache Cache of NET_USER_INFO_3 structure no
6683 returned as part of a successful
6684 net_sam_logon request
6685 printing/*.tdb Cached output from 'lpq no
6686 command' created on a per print
6688 registry Read-only samba registry skeleton no
6689 that provides support for exporting
6690 various db tables via the winreg RPCs
6696 The following issues are known changes in behavior between Samba 2.2 and
6697 Samba 3.0 that may affect certain installations of Samba.
6699 1) When operating as a member of a Windows domain, Samba 2.2 would
6700 map any users authenticated by the remote DC to the 'guest account'
6701 if a uid could not be obtained via the getpwnam() call. Samba 3.0
6702 rejects the connection as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. There is no
6703 current work around to re-establish the 2.2 behavior.
6705 2) When adding machines to a Samba 2.2 controlled domain, the
6706 'add user script' was used to create the UNIX identity of the
6707 machine trust account. Samba 3.0 introduces a new 'add machine
6708 script' that must be specified for this purpose. Samba 3.0 will
6709 not fall back to using the 'add user script' in the absence of
6710 an 'add machine script'
6713 ######################################################################
6714 Passdb Backends and Authentication
6715 ##################################
6717 There have been a few new changes that Samba administrators should be
6718 aware of when moving to Samba 3.0.
6720 1) encrypted passwords have been enabled by default in order to
6721 inter-operate better with out-of-the-box Windows client
6722 installations. This does mean that either (a) a samba account
6723 must be created for each user, or (b) 'encrypt passwords = no'
6724 must be explicitly defined in smb.conf.
6726 2) Inclusion of new 'security = ads' option for integration
6727 with an Active Directory domain using the native Windows
6728 Kerberos 5 and LDAP protocols.
6730 MIT Kerberos 1.3.1 supports the ARCFOUR-HMAC-MD5 encryption
6731 type which is neccessary for servers on which the
6732 administrator password has not been changed, or Kerberos-enabled
6733 SMB connections to servers that require Kerberos SMB signing.
6734 Besides this one difference, either MIT or Heimdal Kerberos
6735 distributions are usable by Samba 3.0.
6738 Samba 3.0 also includes the possibility of setting up chains
6739 of authentication methods (auth methods) and account storage
6740 backends (passdb backend). Please refer to the smb.conf(5)
6741 man page for details. While both parameters assume sane default
6742 values, it is likely that you will need to understand what the
6743 values actually mean in order to ensure Samba operates correctly.
6745 The recommended passdb backends at this time are
6747 * smbpasswd - 2.2 compatible flat file format
6748 * tdbsam - attribute rich database intended as an smbpasswd
6749 replacement for stand alone servers
6750 * ldapsam - attribute rich account storage and retrieval
6751 backend utilizing an LDAP directory.
6752 * ldapsam_compat - a 2.2 backward compatible LDAP account
6755 Certain functions of the smbpasswd(8) tool have been split between the
6756 new smbpasswd(8) utility, the net(8) tool, and the new pdbedit(8)
6757 utility. See the respective man pages for details.
6760 ######################################################################
6764 This section outlines the new features affecting Samba / LDAP
6770 A new object class (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace
6771 the old sambaAccount. This change aids us in the renaming of
6772 attributes to prevent clashes with attributes from other vendors.
6773 There is a conversion script (examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to
6774 modify and LDIF file to the new schema.
6778 $ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." > sambaAcct.ldif
6779 $ convertSambaAccount --sid=<Domain SID> \
6780 --input=sambaAcct.ldif --output=sambaSamAcct.ldif \
6781 --changetype=[modify|add]
6783 The <DOM SID> can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid
6784 <DOMAINNAME>' on the Samba PDC as root. The changetype determines
6785 the format of the generated LDIF output--either create new entries
6786 or modify existing entries.
6788 The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
6789 "ldapsam_compat" passdb backend. However, the sambaAccount and
6790 associated attributes have been moved to the historical section of
6791 the schema file and must be uncommented before use if needed.
6792 The 2.2 object class declaration for a sambaAccount has not changed
6793 in the 3.0 samba.schema file.
6795 Other new object classes and their uses include:
6797 * sambaDomain - domain information used to allocate rids
6798 for users and groups as necessary. The attributes are added
6799 in 'ldap suffix' directory entry automatically if
6800 an idmap uid/gid range has been set and the 'ldapsam'
6801 passdb backend has been selected.
6803 * sambaGroupMapping - an object representing the
6804 relationship between a posixGroup and a Windows
6805 group/SID. These entries are stored in the 'ldap
6806 group suffix' and managed by the 'net groupmap' command.
6808 * sambaUnixIdPool - created in the 'ldap idmap suffix' entry
6809 automatically and contains the next available 'idmap uid' and
6812 * sambaIdmapEntry - object storing a mapping between a
6813 SID and a UNIX uid/gid. These objects are created by the
6814 idmap_ldap module as needed.
6816 * sambaSidEntry - object representing a SID alone, as a Structural
6817 class on which to build the sambaIdmapEntry.
6820 New Suffix for Searching
6821 ------------------------
6823 The following new smb.conf parameters have been added to aid in directing
6824 certain LDAP queries when 'passdb backend = ldapsam://...' has been
6827 * ldap suffix - used to search for user and computer accounts
6828 * ldap user suffix - used to store user accounts
6829 * ldap machine suffix - used to store machine trust accounts
6830 * ldap group suffix - location of posixGroup/sambaGroupMapping entries
6831 * ldap idmap suffix - location of sambaIdmapEntry objects
6833 If an 'ldap suffix' is defined, it will be appended to all of the
6834 remaining sub-suffix parameters. In this case, the order of the suffix
6835 listings in smb.conf is important. Always place the 'ldap suffix' first
6838 Due to a limitation in Samba's smb.conf parsing, you should not surround
6839 the DN's with quotation marks.
6845 Samba 3.0 supports an ldap backend for the idmap subsystem. The
6846 following options would inform Samba that the idmap table should be
6847 stored on the directory server onterose in the "ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,
6852 idmap backend = ldap:ldap://onterose/
6853 ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,dc=org
6854 idmap uid = 40000-50000
6855 idmap gid = 40000-50000
6857 This configuration allows winbind installations on multiple servers to
6858 share a uid/gid number space, thus avoiding the interoperability problems
6859 with NFS that were present in Samba 2.2.

6864 Trust Relationships and a Samba Domain
6865 ######################################
6867 Samba 3.0.0beta2 is able to utilize winbindd as the means of
6868 allocating uids and gids to trusted users and groups. More
6869 information regarding Samba's support for establishing trust
6870 relationships can be found in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection included
6871 in the docs/ directory of this release.
6873 First create your Samba PDC and ensure that everything is
6874 working correctly before moving on the trusts.
6876 To establish Samba as the trusting domain (named SAMBA) from a Windows NT
6877 4.0 domain named WINDOWS:
6879 1) create the trust account for SAMBA in "User Manager for Domains"
6880 2) connect the trust from the Samba domain using
6881 'net rpc trustdom establish GLASS'
6883 To create a trustlationship with SAMBA as the trusted domain:
6885 1) create the initial trust account for GLASS using
6886 'smbpasswd -a -i GLASS'. You may need to create a UNIX
6887 account for GLASS$ prior to this step (depending on your
6888 local configuration).
6889 2) connect the trust from a WINDOWS DC using "User Manager
6892 Now join winbindd on the Samba PDC to the SAMBA domain using
6893 the normal steps for adding a Samba server to an NT4 domain:
6894 (note that smbd & nmbd must be running at this point)
6896 root# net rpc join -U root
6897 Password: <enter root password from smbpasswd file here>
6899 Start winbindd and test the join with 'wbinfo -t'.
6901 Now test the trust relationship by connecting to the SAMBA DC
6902 (e.g. POGO) as a user from the WINDOWS domain:
6904 $ smbclient //pogo/netlogon -U Administrator -W WINDOWS
6907 Now connect to the WINDOWS DC (e.g. CRYSTAL) as a Samba user:
6909 $ smbclient //crystal/netlogon -U root -W WINDOWS
6912 ######################################################################
6916 Beginning with Samba3.0.0beta3, winbindd has been given new account
6917 manage functionality equivalent to the 'add user script' family of
6918 smb.conf parameters. The idmap design has also been changed to
6919 centralize control of foreign SID lookups and matching to UNIX
6923 Brief Description of Changes
6924 ----------------------------
6926 1) The sid_to_uid() family of functions (smbd/uid.c) have been
6927 reverted to the 2.2.x design. This means that when resolving a
6928 SID to a UID or similar mapping:
6930 a) First consult winbindd
6931 b) perform a local lookup only if winbindd fails to
6932 return a successful answer
6934 There are some variations to this, but these two rules generally
6937 2) All idmap lookups have been moved into winbindd. This means that
6938 a server must run winbindd (and support NSS) in order to achieve
6939 any mappings of SID to dynamically allocated UNIX ids. This was
6940 a conscious design choice.
6942 3) (OBSOLETE) New functions have been added to winbindd to emulate
6943 the 'add user script' family of smbd functions without requiring
6944 that external scripts be defined. This functionality is controlled
6945 by the 'winbind enable local accounts' smb.conf parameter (enabled
6948 However, this account management functionality is only supported
6949 in a local tdb (winbindd_idmap.tdb). If these new UNIX accounts
6950 must be shared among multiple Samba servers (such as a PDC and BDCs),
6951 it will be necessary to define your own 'add user script', et. al.
6952 programs that place the accounts/groups in some form of directory
6953 such as NIS or LDAP. This requirement was deemed beyond the scope
6954 of winbind's account management functions. Solutions for
6955 distributing UNIX system information have been deployed and tested
6956 for many years. We saw no need to reinvent the wheel.
6958 4) A member of a Samba controlled domain running winbindd is now able
6959 to map domain users directly onto existing UNIX accounts while still
6960 automatically creating accounts for trusted users and groups. This
6961 behavior is controlled by the 'winbind trusted domains only' smb.conf
6962 parameter (disabled by default to provide 2.2.x winbind behavior).
6964 5) Group mapping support is wrapped in the local_XX_to_XX() functions
6965 in smbd/uid.c. The reason that group mappings are not included
6966 in winbindd is because the purpose of Samba's group map is to
6967 match any Windows SID with an existing UNIX group. These UNIX
6968 groups can be created by winbindd (see next section), but the
6969 SID<->gid mapping is retreived by smbd, not winbindd.
6975 * security = server running winbindd to allocate accounts on demand
6977 * Samba PDC running winbindd to handle the automatic creation of UNIX
6978 identities for machine trust accounts
6980 * Automtically creating UNIX user and groups when migrating a Windows NT
6981 4.0 PDC to a Samba PDC. Winbindd must be running when executing
6982 'net rpc vampire' for this to work.
