2 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.11pre2
3 Jan 21, 2005
4 ===================================
6 This is a preview release of the Samba 3.0.11 code base and
7 is provided for testing only. This release is *not* intended
8 for production servers. However, there have been several bug
9 fixes since 3.0.10 that we feel are important to make available
10 to the Samba community for wider testing.
12 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.11pre2 include:
14 o Ineffeciencies when searching non-AD LDAP directories.
15 o Failure to expand variables in user domain attributes
16 in tdbsam and ldapsam.
17 o Memory leaks.
18 o Failure to retrieve certain attribute when migrating from
19 a Windows DC to a Samba DC via 'net rpc vampire'.
21 Additional features introduced in Samba 3.0.11pre1:
23 o Support for the Windows privilege model to assign rights
24 to specific SIDs.
25 o New adminstrative options to the 'net rpc' command.

553 =============================
554 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.8
555 Nov 7, 2004
556 =============================
558 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.8 include:
560 o Compile fixes for HP-UX
561 o Fixes for the printer publishing code used when joined to
562 an AD domain.
563 o Incompatibilities with file system quotas.
564 o Several bugs in the spoolss printing code and print system
565 backends.
566 o Inconsistencies in the username map functionality when
567 configured on domain member servers.
568 o Various compile warnings and errors on various platforms.
569 o Fixes for kerberos interoperability with Windows 200x
570 domains when using DES keys.
571 o Fix for CAN-2004-0930 -- smbd remote DoS vulnerability.
572 o Fix for CAN-2004-0882 -- possible buffer overrun in smbd.
575 New features included in the 3.0.8 release are:
577 o New migration functionality added the the net tool
578 for files/directories, printers, and shares.
579 o New experimental idmap backend for assigning uids/gids
580 directly based on the user/group RID when acting as a
581 member of single domain without any trusts.
582 o Additional printer migration support for XP/2003 platforms.
585 Change in Winbindd Behavior
586 ---------------------------
588 All usernames returned by winbindd are now converted to lower
589 case for better consistency. This means any winbind installation
590 relying on the winbind username will need to rename existing
591 directories and/or files based on the username (%u and %U) to lower
592 case (e.g. mv $name `echo $name | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`). This may
593 include mail spool files, home directories, valid user lines in
594 smb.conf, etc....
597 Change in Username Map
598 ----------------------
600 Previous Samba releases would only support reading the fully qualified
601 username (e.g. DOMAIN\user) from the username map when performing a
602 kerberos login from a client. However, when looking up a map
603 entry for a user authenticated by NTLM[SSP], only the login name would be
604 used for matches. This resulted in inconsistent behavior sometimes
605 even on the same server.
607 Samba 3.0.8 obeys the following rules when applying the username
608 map functionality:
610 * When performing local authentication, the username map is
611 applied to the login name before attempting to authenticate
612 the connection.
613 * When relying upon a external domain controller for validating
614 authentication requests, smbd will apply the username map
615 to the fully qualified username (i.e. DOMAIN\user) only
616 after the user has been successfully authenticated.

1159 =============================
1160 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.6
1161 Aug 19, 2004
1162 =============================
1164 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.6 include:
1166 o Schannel failure in winbindd.
1167 o Numerous memory leaks.
1168 o Incompatibilities between the 'write list' and 'force user'
1169 smb.conf options.
1170 o Premature optimization of the open_directory() internal
1171 function that broke tools such as the ArcServe backup
1172 agent, Macromedia HomeSite, and Robocopy.
1173 o Corrupt workgroup names in nmbd's browse.dat.
1174 o Sharing violation errors commonly seen when opening
1175 when serving Microsoft Office documents from a Samba
1176 file share.
1177 o Browsing problems caused by an apostrophe (') in the
1178 computer's description field.
1179 o Problems creating special file types from UNIX CIFS
1180 clients and enabling 'unix extensions'.
1181 o Fix stalls in smbd caused by inaccessible LDAP servers.
1182 o Remove various memory leaks.
1183 o Fix issues in the password lockout feature.
1185 New features introduced in this release include:
1187 O Support symlinks created by CIFS clients which
1188 can be followed on the server.
1189 o Using a cups server other than localhost.
1190 o Maintaining the service principal entry in the system
1191 keytab for integration with other kerberized services.
1192 Please refer to the 'use kerberos keytab' entry in
1193 smb.conf(5). When using the heimdal kerberos libraries,
1194 you must also specify the following in /etc/krb5.conf:
1195 [libdefaults]
1196 default_keytab_name = FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab
1197 o Support for maintaining individual printer names
1198 stored separately from the printer's sharename.
1199 o Support for maintaining user password history.
1200 o Support for honoring the logon times for user in a
1201 Samba domain.
1203 --------------------------------------------
1204 unix extensions = yes (default) and symlinks
1205 --------------------------------------------
1207 Beginning with Samba 3.0.6pre1 (formerly known as 3.0.5pre1),
1208 clients supporting the UNIX extensions to the CIFS protocol
1209 can create symlinks to absolute paths which will be **followed**
1210 by the server. This functionality has been requested in order
1211 to correctly support certain applications when the user's home
1212 directory is mounted using some type of CIFS client (e.g. the
1213 cifsvfs in the Linux 2.6 kernel).
1215 If this behavior is not acceptable for your production environment
1216 you can set 'wide links = no' in the specific share declaration in
1217 the server's smb.conf. Be aware that disabling wide link support
1218 out of a share in Samba may impact the server's performance due
1219 to the fact that smbd will now have to check each path additional
1220 times before traversing it.
1222 ------------------------
1223 Password History Support
1224 ------------------------
1226 The new password history feature allows smbd to check the new
1227 password in password change requests against a list of the user's
1228 previous passwords. The number of previous passwords to save can
1229 be set using pdbedit (4 in this example):
1231 root# pdbedit -P "password history" -C 4
1233 When using the ldapsam passdb backend, it is vital to secure the
1234 following attributes from access by non-administrative users:
1236 * sambaNTPassword
1237 * sambaLMPassword
1238 * sambaPasswordHistory
1240 You should refer to your directory server's documentation on how
1241 to implement this restriction.
1244 Changes since 3.0.5

1498 which they connected in the case of a multi-homed host. Only
1499 affects strings the spoolss printing replies.
1500 * Fix the bad password lockout. This has not worked as pdb_ldap.c
1501 did not ask for the modifyTimestamp attribute, so it could

1659 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.5
1660 July 20, 2004
1661 =============================
1663 Please note that Samba 3.0.5 is identical to Samba 3.0.4 with
1664 the exception of correcting the two security issues outlined
1665 below.
1667 ######################## SECURITY RELEASE ########################
1669 Summary: Multiple Potential Buffer Overruns in Samba 3.0.x
1670 CVE ID: CAN-2004-0600, CAN-2004-0686
1671 (http://cve.mitre.org/)
1674 This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version
1675 that production Samba servers should be running for all current
1676 bug-fixes.
1678 It has been confirmed that versions of Samba 3 prior to v3.0.4
1679 are vulnerable to two potential buffer overruns. The individual
1680 details are given below.
1682 -------------
1683 CAN-2004-0600
1684 -------------
1686 Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.2 and later
1688 The internal routine used by the Samba Web Administration
1689 Tool (SWAT v3.0.2 and later) to decode the base64 data
1690 during HTTP basic authentication is subject to a buffer
1691 overrun caused by an invalid base64 character. It is
1692 recommended that all Samba v3.0.2 or later installations
1693 running SWAT either (a) upgrade to v3.0.5, or (b) disable
1694 the swat administration service as a temporary workaround.
1696 This same code is used internally to decode the
1697 sambaMungedDial attribute value when using the ldapsam
1698 passdb backend. While we do not believe that the base64
1699 decoding routines used by the ldapsam passdb backend can
1700 be exploited, sites using an LDAP directory service with
1701 Samba are strongly encouraged to verify that the DIT only
1702 allows write access to sambaSamAccount attributes by a
1703 sufficiently authorized user.
1705 The Samba Team would like to heartily thank Evgeny Demidov
1706 for analyzing and reporting this bug.
1708 -------------
1709 CAN-2004-0686
1710 -------------
1712 Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.0 and later
1714 A buffer overrun has been located in the code used to support
1715 the 'mangling method = hash' smb.conf option. Please be aware
1716 that the default setting for this parameter is 'mangling method
1717 = hash2' and therefore not vulnerable.
1719 Affected Samba 3 installations can avoid this possible security
1720 bug by using the default hash2 mangling method. Server
1721 installations requiring the hash mangling method are encouraged
1722 to upgrade to Samba 3.0.5.
1725 ##################################################################
1727 --------------------------------------------------
1729 =============================

2297 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2a
2298 February 13, 2004
2299 ==============================
2301 Samba 3.0.2a is a minor patch release for the 3.0.2 code base
2302 to address, in particular, a problem when using pdbedit to
2303 sanitize (--force-initialized-passwords) Samba's tdbsam
2304 backend. This is the latest stable release of Samba. This
2305 is the version that all production Samba servers should be
2306 running for all current bug-fixes.
2308 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
2310 Beginning with Samba 3.0.2, passwords for accounts with a last
2311 change time (LCT-XXX in smbpasswd, sambaPwdLastSet attribute in
2312 ldapsam, etc...) of zero (0) will be regarded as uninitialized
2313 strings. This will cause authentication to fail for such
2314 accounts. If you have valid passwords that meet this criteria,
2315 you must update the last change time to a non-zero value. If you
2316 do not, then 'pdbedit --force-initialized-passwords' will disable
2317 these accounts and reset the password hashes to a string of X's.
2319 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************

2370 =============================
2371 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2
2372 February 9, 2004
2373 =============================
2375 It has been confirmed that previous versions of Samba 3.0 are
2376 susceptible to a password initialization bug that could grant an
2377 attacker unauthorized access to a user account created by the
2378 mksmbpasswd.sh shell script.
2380 The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
2381 has assigned the name CAN-2004-0082 to this issue.
2383 Samba administrators not wishing to upgrade to the current
2384 version should download the 3.0.2 release, build the pdbedit
2385 tool, and run
2387 root# pdbedit-3.0.2 --force-initialized-passwords
2389 This will disable all accounts not possessing a valid password
2390 (e.g. the password field has been set a string of X's).
2392 Samba servers running 3.0.2 are not vulnerable to this bug

2831 (bug 713).
2832 o Add ldaplibs to pdbedit link line (bug 651).
2833 o Fix crash bug in smbclient completion (bug 659).

2848 o Add support for the %i macro in smb.conf to stand in for the for
2849 the local IP address to which a client connected.
2850 o Allow winbindd to match local accounts to domain SID when
2851 'winbind trusted domains only = yes' (bug 680).
2852 o Remove code in idmap_ldap that searches the user suffix and group
2853 suffix. It's not needed and provides inconsistent functionality
2854 from the tdb backend.
2855 o Patch to handle munged dial string for Windows 2000 TSE.
2856 Thanks to Gaz de France, Direction de la Recherche, Service
2857 Informatique Métier for their supporting this work by Aurelien
2858 Degrémont <adegremont@idealx.com>.
2859 o Correct the "smbldap_open: cannot access when not root error"
2860 messages when looking up group information (bug 281).

2872 monitor used by Windows NT and later clients (bug 660).
2873 o Fix several reported problems with point-n-print from
2874 Windows 2000/XP clients due to a bug in the EnumPrinterDataEx()
2875 reply (bug 338, 527 & 643).

2877 by ldapsam[_compat] and the LDAP idmap backend.
2878 o Fix for pdbedit error code returns (bug 763).
2879 o Make sure we only enumerate group mapping entries (not
2880 /etc/group) even when doing local aliases.
2881 o Relax check on the pipe name in a dce/rpc bind response to work
2882 around issues with establishing trusts to a Windows 2003 domain.

2887 name->SID mappings to do this via NSS rather than having to
2888 know the winbindd pipe protocol.
2889 o Adds a variant of the winbindd_getgroups() call called
2890 winbindd_getusersids() that provides direct SID->SIDs listing of
2891 a users supplementary groups. This is enough to allow non-Samba
2892 applications to do ACL checking.

2894 'ldap XXX suffix' values in SWAT (bug 328).
2895 o Fix renames across file systems.
2896 o Ensure that items in a list of strings containing whitespace are
2897 written out surrounded by single quotes. This means that both
2898 double and single quotes are now used to surround strings in
2899 smb.conf (bug 481).

2983 The original 3.0.0 release notes follow
2984 =======================================
2985 WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.0
2986 September 24, 2003
2987 =======================================
2990 Major new features:
2991 -------------------
2993 1) Active Directory support. Samba 3.0 is now able to
2994 join a ADS realm as a member server and authenticate
2995 users using LDAP/Kerberos.
2997 2) Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate UNICODE on the wire
2998 and internally there is now a much better infrastructure for
2999 multi-byte and UNICODE character sets.
3001 3) New authentication system. The internal authentication system
3002 has been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are
3003 internal, but the new auth system is also very configurable.
3005 4) New default filename mangling system.
3007 5) A new "net" command has been added. It is somewhat similar to
3008 the "net" command in windows. Eventually we plan to replace
3009 numerous other utilities (such as smbpasswd) with subcommands
3010 in "net".
3012 6) Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
3013 improves error handling a lot.
3015 7) Better Windows 2000/XP/2003 printing support including publishing
3016 printer attributes in active directory.
3018 8) New loadable module support for passdb backends and character
3019 sets.
3021 9) New default dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance.
3023 10) Support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Samba
3024 domain and maintaining user, group and domain SIDs.
3026 11) Support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
3027 domain controllers.
3029 12) Initial support for a distributed Winbind architecture using
3030 an LDAP directory for storing SID to uid/gid mappings.
3032 13) Major updates to the Samba documentation tree.
3034 14) Full support for client and server SMB signing to ensure
3035 compatibility with default Windows 2003 security settings.
3037 15) Improvement of ACL mapping features based on code donated by
3038 Andreas Grünbacher.
3041 Plus lots of other improvements!
3044 Additional Documentation
3045 ------------------------
3047 Please refer to Samba documentation tree (included in the docs/
3048 subdirectory) for extensive explanations of installing, configuring
3049 and maintaining Samba 3.0 servers and clients. It is advised to
3050 begin with the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for overviews and specific
3051 tasks (the current book is up to approximately 400 pages) and to
3052 refer to the various man pages for information on individual options.
3054 We are very glad to be able to include the second edition of
3055 "Using Samba" by Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown
3056 (O'Reilly & Associates) in this release. The book is available
3057 on-line at http://samba.org/samba/docs/ and is included with
3058 the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). Thanks to the authors and
3059 publisher for making "Using Samba" under the GNU Free Documentation
3060 License.
3063 ######################################################################
3064 Upgrading from a previous Samba 3.0 beta
3065 ########################################
3067 Beginning with Samba 3.0.0beta3, the RID allocation functions
3068 have been moved into winbindd. Previously these were handled
3069 by each passdb backend. This means that winbindd must be running
3070 to automatically allocate RIDs for users and/or groups. Otherwise,
3071 smbd will use the 2.2 algorithm for generating new RIDs.
3073 If you are using 'passdb backend = tdbsam' with a previous Samba
3074 3.0 beta release (or possibly alpha), it may be necessary to
3075 move the RID_COUNTER entry from /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
3076 to winbindd_idmap.tdb. To do this:
3078 1) Ensure that winbindd_idmap.tdb exists (launch winbindd at least
3079 once)
3080 2) build tdbtool by executing 'make tdbtool' in the source/tdb/
3081 directory
3082 3) run: (note that 'tdb>' is the tool's prompt for input)
3084 root# ./tdbtool /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
3085 tdb> show RID_COUNTER
3086 key 12 bytes
3087 RID_COUNTER
3088 data 4 bytes
3089 [000] 0A 52 00 00 .R.
3091 tdb> move RID_COUNTER /usr/local/samba/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb
3092 ....
3093 record moved
3095 If you are using 'passdb backend = ldapsam', it will be necessary to
3096 store idmap entries in the LDAP directory as well (i.e. idmap backend
3097 = ldap). Refer to the 'net idmap' command for more information on
3098 migrating SID<->UNIX id mappings from one backend to another.
3100 If the RID_COUNTER record does not exist, then these instructions are
3101 unneccessary and the new RID_COUNTER record will be correctly generated
3102 if needed.

3287 Name Description Backup?
3288 ---- ----------- -------
3289 account_policy User policy settings yes
3290 gencache Generic caching db no
3291 group_mapping Mapping table from Windows yes

3293 winbindd_idmap ID map table from SIDS to UNIX yes
3294 uids/gids.
3295 namecache Name resolution cache entries no
3296 netsamlogon_cache Cache of NET_USER_INFO_3 structure no
3297 returned as part of a successful
3298 net_sam_logon request
3299 printing/*.tdb Cached output from 'lpq no
3300 command' created on a per print
3301 service basis
3302 registry Read-only samba registry skeleton no
3303 that provides support for exporting
3304 various db tables via the winreg RPCs
3307 Changes in Behavior
3308 -------------------
3310 The following issues are known changes in behavior between Samba 2.2 and
3311 Samba 3.0 that may affect certain installations of Samba.
3313 1) When operating as a member of a Windows domain, Samba 2.2 would
3314 map any users authenticated by the remote DC to the 'guest account'
3315 if a uid could not be obtained via the getpwnam() call. Samba 3.0
3316 rejects the connection as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. There is no
3317 current work around to re-establish the 2.2 behavior.
3319 2) When adding machines to a Samba 2.2 controlled domain, the
3320 'add user script' was used to create the UNIX identity of the
3321 machine trust account. Samba 3.0 introduces a new 'add machine
3322 script' that must be specified for this purpose. Samba 3.0 will
3323 not fall back to using the 'add user script' in the absence of
3324 an 'add machine script'
3327 ######################################################################
3328 Passdb Backends and Authentication
3329 ##################################
3331 There have been a few new changes that Samba administrators should be
3332 aware of when moving to Samba 3.0.
3334 1) encrypted passwords have been enabled by default in order to
3335 inter-operate better with out-of-the-box Windows client
3336 installations. This does mean that either (a) a samba account
3337 must be created for each user, or (b) 'encrypt passwords = no'
3338 must be explicitly defined in smb.conf.
3340 2) Inclusion of new 'security = ads' option for integration
3341 with an Active Directory domain using the native Windows
3342 Kerberos 5 and LDAP protocols.
3344 MIT kerberos 1.3.1 supports the ARCFOUR-HMAC-MD5 encryption
3345 type which is neccessary for servers on which the
3346 administrator password has not been changed, or kerberos-enabled
3347 SMB connections to servers that require Kerberos SMB signing.
3348 Besides this one difference, either MIT or Heimdal Kerberos
3349 distributions are usable by Samba 3.0.
3352 Samba 3.0 also includes the possibility of setting up chains
3353 of authentication methods (auth methods) and account storage
3354 backends (passdb backend). Please refer to the smb.conf(5)
3355 man page for details. While both parameters assume sane default
3356 values, it is likely that you will need to understand what the
3357 values actually mean in order to ensure Samba operates correctly.
3359 The recommended passdb backends at this time are
3361 * smbpasswd - 2.2 compatible flat file format
3362 * tdbsam - attribute rich database intended as an smbpasswd
3363 replacement for stand alone servers
3364 * ldapsam - attribute rich account storage and retrieval
3365 backend utilizing an LDAP directory.
3366 * ldapsam_compat - a 2.2 backward compatible LDAP account
3367 backend
3369 Certain functions of the smbpasswd(8) tool have been split between the
3370 new smbpasswd(8) utility, the net(8) tool, and the new pdbedit(8)
3371 utility. See the respective man pages for details.
3374 ######################################################################
3375 LDAP
3376 ####
3378 This section outlines the new features affecting Samba / LDAP
3379 integration.
3381 New Schema
3382 ----------
3384 A new object class (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace
3385 the old sambaAccount. This change aids us in the renaming of
3386 attributes to prevent clashes with attributes from other vendors.
3387 There is a conversion script (examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to
3388 modify and LDIF file to the new schema.
3390 Example:
3392 $ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." > sambaAcct.ldif
3393 $ convertSambaAccount --sid=<Domain SID> \
3394 --input=sambaAcct.ldif --output=sambaSamAcct.ldif \
3395 --changetype=[modify|add]
3397 The <DOM SID> can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid
3398 <DOMAINNAME>' on the Samba PDC as root. The changetype determines
3399 the format of the generated LDIF output--either create new entries
3400 or modify existing entries.
3402 The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
3403 "ldapsam_compat" passdb backend. However, the sambaAccount and
3404 associated attributes have been moved to the historical section of
3405 the schema file and must be uncommented before use if needed.
3406 The 2.2 object class declaration for a sambaAccount has not changed
3407 in the 3.0 samba.schema file.
3409 Other new object classes and their uses include:
3411 * sambaDomain - domain information used to allocate rids
3412 for users and groups as necessary. The attributes are added
3413 in 'ldap suffix' directory entry automatically if
3414 an idmap uid/gid range has been set and the 'ldapsam'
3415 passdb backend has been selected.
3417 * sambaGroupMapping - an object representing the
3418 relationship between a posixGroup and a Windows
3419 group/SID. These entries are stored in the 'ldap
3420 group suffix' and managed by the 'net groupmap' command.
3422 * sambaUnixIdPool - created in the 'ldap idmap suffix' entry
3423 automatically and contains the next available 'idmap uid' and
3424 'idmap gid'
3426 * sambaIdmapEntry - object storing a mapping between a
3427 SID and a UNIX uid/gid. These objects are created by the
3428 idmap_ldap module as needed.
3430 * sambaSidEntry - object representing a SID alone, as a Structural
3431 class on which to build the sambaIdmapEntry.
3434 New Suffix for Searching
3435 ------------------------
3437 The following new smb.conf parameters have been added to aid in directing
3438 certain LDAP queries when 'passdb backend = ldapsam://...' has been
3439 specified.
3441 * ldap suffix - used to search for user and computer accounts
3442 * ldap user suffix - used to store user accounts
3443 * ldap machine suffix - used to store machine trust accounts
3444 * ldap group suffix - location of posixGroup/sambaGroupMapping entries
3445 * ldap idmap suffix - location of sambaIdmapEntry objects
3447 If an 'ldap suffix' is defined, it will be appended to all of the
3448 remaining sub-suffix parameters. In this case, the order of the suffix
3449 listings in smb.conf is important. Always place the 'ldap suffix' first
3450 in the list.
3452 Due to a limitation in Samba's smb.conf parsing, you should not surround
3453 the DN's with quotation marks.
3456 IdMap LDAP support
3457 ------------------
3459 Samba 3.0 supports an ldap backend for the idmap subsystem. The
3460 following options would inform Samba that the idmap table should be
3461 stored on the directory server onterose in the "ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,
3462 dc=org" partition.
3464 [global]
3465 ...
3466 idmap backend = ldap:ldap://onterose/
3467 ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,dc=org
3468 idmap uid = 40000-50000
3469 idmap gid = 40000-50000
3471 This configuration allows winbind installations on multiple servers to
3472 share a uid/gid number space, thus avoiding the interoperability problems
3473 with NFS that were present in Samba 2.2.
3477 ######################################################################
3478 Trust Relationships and a Samba Domain
3479 ######################################
3481 Samba 3.0.0beta2 is able to utilize winbindd as the means of
3482 allocating uids and gids to trusted users and groups. More
3483 information regarding Samba's support for establishing trust
3484 relationships can be found in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection included
3485 in the docs/ directory of this release.
3487 First create your Samba PDC and ensure that everything is
3488 working correctly before moving on the trusts.
3490 To establish Samba as the trusting domain (named SAMBA) from a Windows NT
3491 4.0 domain named WINDOWS:
3493 1) create the trust account for SAMBA in "User Manager for Domains"
3494 2) connect the trust from the Samba domain using
3495 'net rpc trustdom establish GLASS'
3497 To create a trustlationship with SAMBA as the trusted domain:
3499 1) create the initial trust account for GLASS using
3500 'smbpasswd -a -i GLASS'. You may need to create a UNIX
3501 account for GLASS$ prior to this step (depending on your
3502 local configuration).
3503 2) connect the trust from a WINDOWS DC using "User Manager
3504 for Domains"
3506 Now join winbindd on the Samba PDC to the SAMBA domain using
3507 the normal steps for adding a Samba server to an NT4 domain:
3508 (note that smbd & nmbd must be running at this point)
3510 root# net rpc join -U root
3511 Password: <enter root password from smbpasswd file here>
3513 Start winbindd and test the join with 'wbinfo -t'.
3515 Now test the trust relationship by connecting to the SAMBA DC
3516 (e.g. POGO) as a user from the WINDOWS domain:

3527 Changes in Winbind
3528 ##################
3530 Beginning with Samba3.0.0beta3, winbindd has been given new account
3531 manage functionality equivalent to the 'add user script' family of
3532 smb.conf parameters. The idmap design has also been changed to
3533 centralize control of foreign SID lookups and matching to UNIX
3534 uids and gids.
3537 Brief Description of Changes
3538 ----------------------------
3540 1) The sid_to_uid() family of functions (smbd/uid.c) have been
3541 reverted to the 2.2.x design. This means that when resolving a
3542 SID to a UID or similar mapping:
3544 a) First consult winbindd
3545 b) perform a local lookup only if winbindd fails to
3546 return a successful answer
3548 There are some variations to this, but these two rules generally
3549 apply.
3551 2) All idmap lookups have been moved into winbindd. This means that
3552 a server must run winbindd (and support NSS) in order to achieve
3553 any mappings of SID to dynamically allocated UNIX ids. This was
3554 a conscious design choice.
3556 3) New functions have been added to winbindd to emulate the 'add user
3557 script' family of smbd functions without requiring that external
3558 scripts be defined. This functionality is controlled by the 'winbind
3559 enable local accounts' smb.conf parameter (enabled by default).
3561 However, this account management functionality is only supported
3562 in a local tdb (winbindd_idmap.tdb). If these new UNIX accounts
3563 must be shared among multiple Samba servers (such as a PDC and BDCs),
3564 it will be necessary to define your own 'add user script', et. al.
3565 programs that place the accounts/groups in some form of directory
3566 such as NIS or LDAP. This requirement was deemed beyond the scope
3567 of winbind's account management functions. Solutions for
3568 distributing UNIX system information have been deployed and tested
3569 for many years. We saw no need to reinvent the wheel.
3571 4) A member of a Samba controlled domain running winbindd is now able
3572 to map domain users directly onto existing UNIX accounts while still
3573 automatically creating accounts for trusted users and groups. This
3574 behavior is controlled by the 'winbind trusted domains only' smb.conf
3575 parameter (disabled by default to provide 2.2.x winbind behavior).
3577 5) Group mapping support is wrapped in the local_XX_to_XX() functions
3578 in smbd/uid.c. The reason that group mappings are not included
3579 in winbindd is because the purpose of Samba's group map is to
3580 match any Windows SID with an existing UNIX group. These UNIX
3581 groups can be created by winbindd (see next section), but the
3582 SID<->gid mapping is retreived by smbd, not winbindd.
3585 Examples
3586 --------
3588 * security = server running winbindd to allocate accounts on demand
3590 * Samba PDC running winbindd to handle the automatic creation of UNIX
3591 identities for machine trust accounts
3593 * Automtically creating UNIX user and groups when migrating a Windows NT
3594 4.0 PDC to a Samba PDC. Winbindd must be running when executing
3595 'net rpc vampire' for this to work.
