142 Release Notes for Samba 3.4.0
143 July 3, 2009
144 =============================
147 This is the first stable release of Samba 3.4.
150 Major enhancements in Samba 3.4.0 include:
151 ------------------------------------------
153 Configuration changes:
154 o The default passdb backend has been changed to 'tdbsam'!
156 General changes:
157 o Samba4 and Samba3 sources are included in the tarball
159 Authentication Changes:
160 o Changed the way smbd handles untrusted domain names given during user
161 authentication.
163 Printing Changes:
164 o Various fixes including printer change notificiation for Samba spoolss
165 print servers.
167 Internal changes:
168 o The remaining hand-marshalled DCE/RPC services (ntsvcs, svcctl, eventlog
169 and spoolss) were replaced by autogenerated code based on PIDL.
170 o Samba3 and Samba4 do now share a common tevent library.
171 o The code has been cleaned up and the major basic interfaces are shared with
172 Samba4 now.
173 o An asynchronous API has been added.
176 Configuration changes
177 =====================
179 !!! ATTENTION !!!
180 The default passdb backend has been changed to 'tdbsam'! That breaks existing
181 setups using the 'smbpasswd' backend without explicit declaration! Please use
182 'passdb backend = smbpasswd' if you would like to stick to the 'smbpasswd'
183 backend or convert your smbpasswd entries using e.g. 'pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e
184 tdbsam'.
186 The 'tdbsam' backend is much more flexible concerning per user settings
187 like 'profile path' or 'home directory' and there are some commands which do not
188 work with the 'smbpasswd' backend at all.
191 General Changes
192 ===============
194 On the way towards a standalone Samba AD domain controller, Samba3 and Samba4
195 branches can be built as "merged" build. That's why Samba3 and Samba4 sources
196 are included in the tarball. The merged build is possible in Samba 3.4.0, but
197 disabled by default. To learn more about the merged build,
198 please see http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Franky.
200 According to this one, there is no "source" directory included in the tarball at
201 all. Samba3 sources are located in "source3", Samba4 sources are located in
202 "source4". The libraries have been moved to the toplevel directory.
204 To build plain Samba3, please change to "source3" and start the build as usual.
205 To build Samba4 as well, please use the "--enable-merged-build" configure
206 option.
209 Authentication Changes
210 ======================
212 Previously, when Samba was a domain member and a client was connecting using an
213 untrusted domain name, such as BOGUS\user smbd would remap the untrusted
214 domain to the primary domain smbd was a member of and attempt authentication
215 using that DOMAIN\user name. This differed from how a Windows member server
216 would behave. Now, smbd will replace the BOGUS name with it's SAM name. In
217 the case where smbd is acting as a PDC this will be DOMAIN\user. In the case
218 where smbd is acting as a domain member server this will be WORKSTATION\user.
219 Thus, smbd will never assume that an incoming user name which is not qualified
220 with the same primary domain, is part of smbd's primary domain.
222 While this behavior matches Windows, it may break some workflows which depended
223 on smbd to always pass through bogus names to the DC for verification. A new
224 parameter "map untrusted to domain" can be enabled to revert to the legacy
225 behavior.
228 Printing Changes
229 ================
231 The spoolss subsystem was replaced by autogenerated code based on PIDL. That fixes
232 several printing issues including printer change notificiation on Samba print
233 servers and will stabilize the printing functionality generally.
234 The support for spoolss printing with Windows Vista has been improved.
237 Internal Changes
238 ================
240 The remaining hand-marshalled DCE/RPC services (ntsvcs, svcctl, eventlog and
241 spoolss) were replaced by autogenerated code based on PIDL.
242 So Günther Deschner finally corrected one of the biggest mistakes in the
243 development of Samba: Hand-marshalled RPC stubs.
245 Thanks a lot! :-)
247 Samba3 and Samba4 do now share a common tevent library for fd and timer events.
249 The code has been cleaned up and Samba3 and Samba4 do share the major basic
250 interfaces now. That is why the libraries were moved to the toplevel directory.
251 That is one of the first steps to share code and minimize the gap between
252 these two versions.
254 An asynchronous API has been added.
