2 Release Notes for Samba 3.2.0rc3
3 July 1, 2008
4 =================================
6 This is the third release candidate of Samba 3.2.0. This is *not*
7 intended for production environments and is designed for testing
8 purposes only. Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting
9 system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/.
11 Please be aware that Samba is now distributed under the version 3
12 of the new GNU General Public License. You may refer to the COPYING
13 file that accompanies these release notes for further licensing details.
15 Major enhancements in Samba 3.2.0 include:
17 File Serving:
18 o Use of IDL generated parsing layer for several DCE/RPC
19 interfaces.
20 o Removal of the 1024 byte limit on pathnames and 256 byte limit on
21 filename components to honor the MAX_PATH setting from the host OS.
22 o Introduction of a registry based configuration system.
23 o Improved CIFS Unix Extensions support.
24 o Experimental support for file serving clusters.
25 o Support for IPv6 in the server, and client tools and libraries.
26 o Support for storing alternate data streams in xattrs.
27 o Encrypted SMB transport in client tools and libraries, and server.
28 o Support for Vista clients authenticating via Kerberos.
30 Winbind and Active Directory Integration:
31 o Full support for Windows 2003 cross-forest, transitive trusts
32 and one-way domain trusts.
33 o Support for userPrincipalName logons via pam_winbind and NSS
34 lookups.
35 o Expansion of nested domain groups via NSS calls.
36 o Support for Active Directory LDAP Signing policy.
37 o New LGPL Winbind client library (libwbclient.so).
38 o Support for establishing interdomain trust relationships with
39 Windows 2008.
41 Joining:
42 o New NetApi library for domain join related queries (libnetapi.so)
43 and example GTK+ Domain join gui.
44 o New client and server support for remotely joining and unjoining
45 Domains.
46 o Support for joining into Windows 2008 domains.
48 Users & Groups:
49 o New ldb backend for local group mapping tables
50 o Raised level of security defaults for authentication operations.
51 o New NetApi library for user account related queries.
54 Documentation:
55 o Inclusion of an HTML version of the 3rd edition of "Using Samba"
56 from O'Reilly Publishing.
59 Now Licensed under the GNU GPLv3
60 ================================
62 The Samba Team has adopted the Version 3 of the GNU General Public
63 License for the 3.2 and later releases. The GPLv3 is the updated
64 version of the GPLv2 license under which Samba is currently
65 distributed. It has been updated to improve compatibility with other
66 licenses and to make it easier to adopt internationally, and is an
67 improved version of the license to better suit the needs of Free
68 Software in the 21st Century.
70 The original announcement is available on-line at
72 http://news.samba.org/announcements/samba_gplv3/
75 New Security Defaults for Authentication
76 ========================================
78 Support for LanMan passwords is now disabled in both client and server
79 applications. Additionally, clear text authentication requests are
80 disabled by default in client utilities such as smbclient and all
81 libsmbclient based applications. This will affect connection both
82 to and from hosts running DOS, Windows 9x/ME, and OS/2. Please refer
83 to the "Changes" section for details on the exact parameters that were
84 updated.
87 Registry Configuration Backend
88 ==============================
90 Samba is now able to use a registry based configuration backed to
91 supplement smb.conf settings. This feature may be enabled by setting
92 "config backend = registry" in the [global] section of smb.conf for a
93 registry only configuration, or by specifying "include = registry" to
94 include global options from registry for a mixed setup.
96 The new parameter "registry shares = yes" in the [global] section of
97 smb.conf can be used to activate share definitions from registry.
98 These shares are loaded on demand by the server. Registry shares are
99 automatically activated by the global registry options above.
101 The configuration stored in registry can be conveniently managed using
102 the "net conf" command.
104 More information may be obtained from the smb.conf(5) and net(8) man
105 pages.
108 Removed Features
109 ================
111 Both the Python bindings and the libmsrpc shared library have been
112 removed from the tree due to lack of an official maintainer.
114 As smbfs is no longer supported in current kernel versions, smbmount has
115 been removed in this Samba version. Please use cifs (mount.cifs) instead.
116 See examples/scripts/mount/mount.smbfs as an example for a wrapper which
117 calls mount.cifs instead of smbmount/mount.smbfs.
120 Modified API for libsmbclient
121 ==============================================================================
123 Maintaining ABI compatibility for libsmbclient has become increasingly
124 difficult to accomplish, while also keeping the code organization such that it
125 is easily readable. Towards the goal of maintaining ABI compatibility and
126 also keeping the code easy to maintain and enhance, the API has been enhanced.
127 In particular, the fields in the SMBCCTX context structure are no longer
128 intended to be read/write by the user, and are marked as deprecated. An
129 application that previously accessed the members of the SMBCCTX context
130 structure will now encounter warnings if recompiled. This is intentional, to
131 encourage implementation of the small changes required for the new interface.
132 The number of changes is expected to be quite small for the vast majority of
133 applications, and no changes need be made for many applications. The changes
134 required for KDE (konqueror) to conform to the new interface, for example, are
135 only four lines in only one file.
137 Instead of the application manually changing or reading values in the context
138 structure, there are now setter and getter functions for each configurable
139 member in that structure. Similarly, the smbc_option_get() and
140 smbc_option_set() functions are deprecated in favor of the setter/getter
141 interface. The setters and getters are all documented in libsmbclient.h
142 under these comment blocks:
144 Getters and setters for CONFIGURATION
145 Getters and setters for OPTIONS
146 Getters and setters for FUNCTIONS
147 Callable functions for files
148 Callable functions for directories
149 Callable functions applicable to both files and directories
151 Example changes that may be required to eliminate "deprecated" warnings:
153 /* Set the debug level */
154 context->debug = 99;
155 changes to:
156 smbc_setDebug(context, 99);
158 /* Specify the authentication callback function */
159 context->callbacks.auth_fn = auth_smbc_get_data;
160 changes to:
161 smbc_setFunctionAuthData(context, auth_smbc_get_data);
163 /* Specify the new-style authentication callback with context parameter */
164 smbc_option_set("auth_function", auth_smbc_get_data_with_ctx);
165 changes to:
166 smbc_setFunctionAuthDataWithContext(context, auth_smbc_get_data_with_ctx);
168 /* Set kerberos flags */
169 context->flags = (SMB_CTX_FLAG_USE_KERBEROS |
170 SMB_CTX_FLAG_FALLBACK_AFTER_KERBEROS);
171 changes to:
172 smbc_setOptionUseKerberos(context, 1);
173 smbc_setOptionFallbackAfterKerberos(context, 1);
