4 This is the first preview release of Samba 4.7. This is *not*
5 intended for production environments and is designed for testing
6 purposes only. Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting
7 system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/.
9 Samba 4.7 will be the next version of the Samba suite.
19 The "strict sync" global parameter has been changed from
20 a default of "no" to "yes". This means smbd will by default
21 obey client requests to synchronize unwritten data in operating
22 system buffers safely onto disk. This is a safer default setting
23 for modern SMB1/2/3 clients.
25 Authentication and Authorization audit support
26 ----------------------------------------------
28 Detailed authentication and authorization audit information is now
29 logged to Samba's debug logs under the "auth_audit" debug class,
30 including in particular the client IP address triggering the audit
31 line. Additionally, if Samba is compiled against the jansson JSON
32 library, a JSON representation is logged under the "auth_json_audit"
35 Audit support is comprehensive for all authentication and
36 authorisation of user accounts in the Samba Active Directory Domain
37 Controller, as well as the implicit authentication in password
38 changes. In the file server and classic/NT4 domain controller, NTLM
39 authentication, SMB and RPC authorization is covered, however password
40 changes are not at this stage, and this support is not currently
41 backed by a testsuite.
46 Parameter Name Description Default
47 -------------- ----------- -------
48 strict sync Default changed yes
49 auth event notification New parameter no
