235 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2a
237 ==============================
239 Samba 3.0.2a is a minor patch release for the 3.0.2 code base
240 to address, in particular, a problem when using pdbedit to
241 sanitize (--force-initialized-passwords) Samba's tdbsam
242 backend. This is the latest stable release of Samba. This
243 is the version that all production Samba servers should be
244 running for all current bug-fixes.
246 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
248 Beginning with Samba 3.0.2, passwords for accounts with a last
249 change time (LCT-XXX in smbpasswd, sambaPwdLastSet attribute in
250 ldapsam, etc...) of zero (0) will be regarded as uninitialized
251 strings. This will cause authentication to fail for such
252 accounts. If you have valid passwords that meet this criteria,
253 you must update the last change time to a non-zero value. If you
254 do not, then 'pdbedit --force-initialized-passwords' will disable
255 these accounts and reset the password hashes to a string of X's.
257 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
260 ######################################################################
270 Please refer to the CVS log for the SAMBA_3_0 branch for complete
271 details. The list of changes per contributor are as follows:
274 o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
275 * Added paranoia checks in parsing code.
278 o Andrew Bartlet <abartlet@samba.org>
279 * Ensure that changes to uninitialized passwords in ldapsam
280 are written to the DIT.
283 o Gerald (Jerry) Carter <jerry@samba.org>
284 * Fixed iterator in tdbsam.
285 * Fix bug that disabled accounts with a valid NT password
286 hash, but no LanMan hash.
289 o Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
290 * Added missing nosetuid and noexec options.
293 o Bostjan Golob <golob@gimb.org>
294 * BUG 1046: Don't overwrite usernames of entries returned
298 o Sebastian Krahmer <krahmer@suse.de>
299 * Fixed potential crash bug in NTLMSSP parsing code.
302 o Tim Potter <tpot@samba.org>
303 * Fixed logic in tdb_brlock error checking.
306 o Urban Widmark <urban@teststation.com>
307 * Set nosuid,nodev flags in smbmnt by default.

312 =============================
313 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2
315 =============================
317 It has been confirmed that previous versions of Samba 3.0 are
318 susceptible to a password initialization bug that could grant an
319 attacker unauthorized access to a user account created by the
320 mksmbpasswd.sh shell script.
322 The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
323 has assigned the name CAN-2004-0082 to this issue.
325 Samba administrators not wishing to upgrade to the current
326 version should download the 3.0.2 release, build the pdbedit
329 root# pdbedit-3.0.2 --force-initialized-passwords
331 This will disable all accounts not possessing a valid password
332 (e.g. the password field has been set a string of X's).
334 Samba servers running 3.0.2 are not vulnerable to this bug
335 regardless of whether or not pdbedit has been used to sanitize
338 Some of the more visible bugs in 3.0.1 addressed in the 3.0.2
341 o Joining a Samba domain from Pre-SP2 Windows 2000 clients.
342 o Logging onto a Samba domain from Windows XP clients.
343 o Problems with the %U and %u smb.conf variables in relation to
344 Windows 9x/ME clients.
345 o Kerberos failures due to an invalid in memory keytab detection
347 o Updates to the ntlm_auth tool.
348 o Fixes for various SMB signing errors.
349 o Better separation of WINS and DNS queries for domain controllers.

351 o Several crash bugs in smbd and winbindd.
352 o Output formatting fixes for smbclient for better compatibility
353 with scripts based on the 2.2 version.

797 o Patch to handle munged dial string for Windows 2000 TSE.
798 Thanks to Gaz de France, Direction de la Recherche, Service
799 Informatique Métier for their supporting this work by Aurelien

823 o Relax check on the pipe name in a dce/rpc bind response to work
824 around issues with establishing trusts to a Windows 2003 domain.
825 o Ensure we mangle names ending in '.' in hash2 mangling method.
826 o Correct parsing issues with munged dial string.
827 o Fix bugs in quota support for XFS.

829 name->SID mappings to do this via NSS rather than having to
830 know the winbindd pipe protocol.
831 o Adds a variant of the winbindd_getgroups() call called
832 winbindd_getusersids() that provides direct SID->SIDs listing of
833 a users supplementary groups. This is enough to allow non-Samba
834 applications to do ACL checking.
835 o Make sure we don't append the 'ldap suffix' when writing out the
836 'ldap XXX suffix' values in SWAT (bug 328).
837 o Fix renames across file systems.

925 The original 3.0.0 release notes follow
926 =======================================
927 WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.0
929 =======================================
935 1) Active Directory support. Samba 3.0 is now able to
936 join a ADS realm as a member server and authenticate
937 users using LDAP/Kerberos.
939 2) Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate UNICODE on the wire
940 and internally there is now a much better infrastructure for
941 multi-byte and UNICODE character sets.
943 3) New authentication system. The internal authentication system
944 has been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are
945 internal, but the new auth system is also very configurable.
947 4) New default filename mangling system.
949 5) A new "net" command has been added. It is somewhat similar to
950 the "net" command in windows. Eventually we plan to replace
951 numerous other utilities (such as smbpasswd) with subcommands
954 6) Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
955 improves error handling a lot.
957 7) Better Windows 2000/XP/2003 printing support including publishing
958 printer attributes in active directory.
960 8) New loadable module support for passdb backends and character
963 9) New default dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance.
965 10) Support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Samba
966 domain and maintaining user, group and domain SIDs.
968 11) Support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
971 12) Initial support for a distributed Winbind architecture using
972 an LDAP directory for storing SID to uid/gid mappings.
974 13) Major updates to the Samba documentation tree.
976 14) Full support for client and server SMB signing to ensure
977 compatibility with default Windows 2003 security settings.
979 15) Improvement of ACL mapping features based on code donated by
983 Plus lots of other improvements!
986 Additional Documentation
987 ------------------------
989 Please refer to Samba documentation tree (included in the docs/
990 subdirectory) for extensive explanations of installing, configuring
991 and maintaining Samba 3.0 servers and clients. It is advised to
992 begin with the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for overviews and specific
993 tasks (the current book is up to approximately 400 pages) and to
994 refer to the various man pages for information on individual options.
996 We are very glad to be able to include the second edition of
997 "Using Samba" by Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown
998 (O'Reilly & Associates) in this release. The book is available
999 on-line at http://samba.org/samba/docs/ and is included with
1000 the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). Thanks to the authors and
1001 publisher for making "Using Samba" under the GNU Free Documentation
1005 ######################################################################
1006 Upgrading from a previous Samba 3.0 beta
1007 ########################################
1009 Beginning with Samba 3.0.0beta3, the RID allocation functions
1010 have been moved into winbindd. Previously these were handled
1011 by each passdb backend. This means that winbindd must be running
1012 to automatically allocate RIDs for users and/or groups. Otherwise,
1013 smbd will use the 2.2 algorithm for generating new RIDs.
1015 If you are using 'passdb backend = tdbsam' with a previous Samba
1016 3.0 beta release (or possibly alpha), it may be necessary to
1017 move the RID_COUNTER entry from /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
1018 to winbindd_idmap.tdb. To do this:
1020 1) Ensure that winbindd_idmap.tdb exists (launch winbindd at least
1022 2) build tdbtool by executing 'make tdbtool' in the source/tdb/
1024 3) run: (note that 'tdb>' is the tool's prompt for input)
1026 root# ./tdbtool /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
1027 tdb> show RID_COUNTER
1031 [000] 0A 52 00 00 .R.
1033 tdb> move RID_COUNTER /usr/local/samba/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb
1037 If you are using 'passdb backend = ldapsam', it will be necessary to
1038 store idmap entries in the LDAP directory as well (i.e. idmap backend
1039 = ldap). Refer to the 'net idmap' command for more information on
1040 migrating SID<->UNIX id mappings from one backend to another.
1042 If the RID_COUNTER record does not exist, then these instructions are
1043 unneccessary and the new RID_COUNTER record will be correctly generated

1223 This section contains brief descriptions of any new databases
1224 introduced in Samba 3.0. Please remember to backup your existing
1225 ${lock directory}/*tdb before upgrading to Samba 3.0. Samba will
1226 upgrade databases as they are opened (if necessary), but downgrading
1227 from 3.0 to 2.2 is an unsupported path.
1229 Name Description Backup?
1230 ---- ----------- -------
1231 account_policy User policy settings yes
1232 gencache Generic caching db no
1233 group_mapping Mapping table from Windows yes
1234 groups/SID to unix groups
1235 winbindd_idmap ID map table from SIDS to UNIX yes
1237 namecache Name resolution cache entries no
1238 netsamlogon_cache Cache of NET_USER_INFO_3 structure no
1239 returned as part of a successful
1240 net_sam_logon request
1241 printing/*.tdb Cached output from 'lpq no
1242 command' created on a per print
1244 registry Read-only samba registry skeleton no
1245 that provides support for exporting
1246 various db tables via the winreg RPCs
1252 The following issues are known changes in behavior between Samba 2.2 and
1253 Samba 3.0 that may affect certain installations of Samba.
1255 1) When operating as a member of a Windows domain, Samba 2.2 would
1256 map any users authenticated by the remote DC to the 'guest account'
1257 if a uid could not be obtained via the getpwnam() call. Samba 3.0
1258 rejects the connection as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. There is no
1259 current work around to re-establish the 2.2 behavior.
1261 2) When adding machines to a Samba 2.2 controlled domain, the
1262 'add user script' was used to create the UNIX identity of the
1263 machine trust account. Samba 3.0 introduces a new 'add machine
1264 script' that must be specified for this purpose. Samba 3.0 will
1265 not fall back to using the 'add user script' in the absence of
1266 an 'add machine script'
1269 ######################################################################
1270 Passdb Backends and Authentication
1271 ##################################
1273 There have been a few new changes that Samba administrators should be
1274 aware of when moving to Samba 3.0.
1276 1) encrypted passwords have been enabled by default in order to
1277 inter-operate better with out-of-the-box Windows client
1278 installations. This does mean that either (a) a samba account
1279 must be created for each user, or (b) 'encrypt passwords = no'
1280 must be explicitly defined in smb.conf.
1282 2) Inclusion of new 'security = ads' option for integration
1283 with an Active Directory domain using the native Windows
1284 Kerberos 5 and LDAP protocols.
1286 MIT kerberos 1.3.1 supports the ARCFOUR-HMAC-MD5 encryption
1287 type which is neccessary for servers on which the
1288 administrator password has not been changed, or kerberos-enabled
1289 SMB connections to servers that require Kerberos SMB signing.
1290 Besides this one difference, either MIT or Heimdal Kerberos
1291 distributions are usable by Samba 3.0.
1294 Samba 3.0 also includes the possibility of setting up chains
1295 of authentication methods (auth methods) and account storage
1296 backends (passdb backend). Please refer to the smb.conf(5)
1297 man page for details. While both parameters assume sane default
1298 values, it is likely that you will need to understand what the
1299 values actually mean in order to ensure Samba operates correctly.
1301 The recommended passdb backends at this time are
1303 * smbpasswd - 2.2 compatible flat file format
1304 * tdbsam - attribute rich database intended as an smbpasswd
1305 replacement for stand alone servers
1306 * ldapsam - attribute rich account storage and retrieval
1307 backend utilizing an LDAP directory.
1308 * ldapsam_compat - a 2.2 backward compatible LDAP account
1311 Certain functions of the smbpasswd(8) tool have been split between the
1312 new smbpasswd(8) utility, the net(8) tool, and the new pdbedit(8)
1313 utility. See the respective man pages for details.
1316 ######################################################################
1320 This section outlines the new features affecting Samba / LDAP
1326 A new object class (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace
1327 the old sambaAccount. This change aids us in the renaming of
1328 attributes to prevent clashes with attributes from other vendors.
1329 There is a conversion script (examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to
1330 modify and LDIF file to the new schema.
1334 $ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." > sambaAcct.ldif
1335 $ convertSambaAccount --sid=<Domain SID> \
1336 --input=sambaAcct.ldif --output=sambaSamAcct.ldif \
1337 --changetype=[modify|add]
1339 The <DOM SID> can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid
1340 <DOMAINNAME>' on the Samba PDC as root. The changetype determines
1341 the format of the generated LDIF output--either create new entries
1342 or modify existing entries.
1344 The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
1345 "ldapsam_compat" passdb backend. However, the sambaAccount and
1346 associated attributes have been moved to the historical section of
1347 the schema file and must be uncommented before use if needed.
1348 The 2.2 object class declaration for a sambaAccount has not changed
1349 in the 3.0 samba.schema file.
1351 Other new object classes and their uses include:
1353 * sambaDomain - domain information used to allocate rids
1354 for users and groups as necessary. The attributes are added
1355 in 'ldap suffix' directory entry automatically if
1356 an idmap uid/gid range has been set and the 'ldapsam'
1357 passdb backend has been selected.
1359 * sambaGroupMapping - an object representing the
1360 relationship between a posixGroup and a Windows
1361 group/SID. These entries are stored in the 'ldap
1362 group suffix' and managed by the 'net groupmap' command.
1364 * sambaUnixIdPool - created in the 'ldap idmap suffix' entry
1365 automatically and contains the next available 'idmap uid' and
1368 * sambaIdmapEntry - object storing a mapping between a
1369 SID and a UNIX uid/gid. These objects are created by the
1370 idmap_ldap module as needed.
1372 * sambaSidEntry - object representing a SID alone, as a Structural
1373 class on which to build the sambaIdmapEntry.
1376 New Suffix for Searching
1377 ------------------------
1379 The following new smb.conf parameters have been added to aid in directing
1380 certain LDAP queries when 'passdb backend = ldapsam://...' has been
1383 * ldap suffix - used to search for user and computer accounts
1384 * ldap user suffix - used to store user accounts
1385 * ldap machine suffix - used to store machine trust accounts
1386 * ldap group suffix - location of posixGroup/sambaGroupMapping entries
1387 * ldap idmap suffix - location of sambaIdmapEntry objects
1389 If an 'ldap suffix' is defined, it will be appended to all of the
1390 remaining sub-suffix parameters. In this case, the order of the suffix
1391 listings in smb.conf is important. Always place the 'ldap suffix' first
1394 Due to a limitation in Samba's smb.conf parsing, you should not surround
1395 the DN's with quotation marks.
1401 Samba 3.0 supports an ldap backend for the idmap subsystem. The
1402 following options would inform Samba that the idmap table should be
1403 stored on the directory server onterose in the "ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,
1408 idmap backend = ldap:ldap://onterose/
1409 ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,dc=org
1410 idmap uid = 40000-50000
1411 idmap gid = 40000-50000
1413 This configuration allows winbind installations on multiple servers to
1414 share a uid/gid number space, thus avoiding the interoperability problems
1415 with NFS that were present in Samba 2.2.

1420 Trust Relationships and a Samba Domain
1421 ######################################
1423 Samba 3.0.0beta2 is able to utilize winbindd as the means of
1424 allocating uids and gids to trusted users and groups. More
1425 information regarding Samba's support for establishing trust
1426 relationships can be found in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection included
1427 in the docs/ directory of this release.
1429 First create your Samba PDC and ensure that everything is
1430 working correctly before moving on the trusts.
1432 To establish Samba as the trusting domain (named SAMBA) from a Windows NT
1433 4.0 domain named WINDOWS:
1435 1) create the trust account for SAMBA in "User Manager for Domains"
1436 2) connect the trust from the Samba domain using
1437 'net rpc trustdom establish GLASS'
1439 To create a trustlationship with SAMBA as the trusted domain:
1441 1) create the initial trust account for GLASS using
1442 'smbpasswd -a -i GLASS'. You may need to create a UNIX
1443 account for GLASS$ prior to this step (depending on your
1444 local configuration).
1445 2) connect the trust from a WINDOWS DC using "User Manager
1448 Now join winbindd on the Samba PDC to the SAMBA domain using
1449 the normal steps for adding a Samba server to an NT4 domain:
1450 (note that smbd & nmbd must be running at this point)
1452 root# net rpc join -U root
1453 Password: <enter root password from smbpasswd file here>
1455 Start winbindd and test the join with 'wbinfo -t'.
1457 Now test the trust relationship by connecting to the SAMBA DC
1458 (e.g. POGO) as a user from the WINDOWS domain:
1460 $ smbclient //pogo/netlogon -U Administrator -W WINDOWS
1463 Now connect to the WINDOWS DC (e.g. CRYSTAL) as a Samba user:
1465 $ smbclient //crystal/netlogon -U root -W WINDOWS
1468 ######################################################################
1472 Beginning with Samba3.0.0beta3, winbindd has been given new account
1473 manage functionality equivalent to the 'add user script' family of
1474 smb.conf parameters. The idmap design has also been changed to
1475 centralize control of foreign SID lookups and matching to UNIX
1479 Brief Description of Changes
1480 ----------------------------
1482 1) The sid_to_uid() family of functions (smbd/uid.c) have been
1483 reverted to the 2.2.x design. This means that when resolving a
1484 SID to a UID or similar mapping:
1486 a) First consult winbindd
1487 b) perform a local lookup only if winbindd fails to
1488 return a successful answer
1490 There are some variations to this, but these two rules generally
1493 2) All idmap lookups have been moved into winbindd. This means that
1494 a server must run winbindd (and support NSS) in order to achieve
1495 any mappings of SID to dynamically allocated UNIX ids. This was
1496 a conscious design choice.
1498 3) New functions have been added to winbindd to emulate the 'add user
1499 script' family of smbd functions without requiring that external
1500 scripts be defined. This functionality is controlled by the 'winbind
1501 enable local accounts' smb.conf parameter (enabled by default).
1503 However, this account management functionality is only supported
1504 in a local tdb (winbindd_idmap.tdb). If these new UNIX accounts
1505 must be shared among multiple Samba servers (such as a PDC and BDCs),
1506 it will be necessary to define your own 'add user script', et. al.
1507 programs that place the accounts/groups in some form of directory
1508 such as NIS or LDAP. This requirement was deemed beyond the scope
1509 of winbind's account management functions. Solutions for
1510 distributing UNIX system information have been deployed and tested
1511 for many years. We saw no need to reinvent the wheel.
1513 4) A member of a Samba controlled domain running winbindd is now able
1514 to map domain users directly onto existing UNIX accounts while still
1515 automatically creating accounts for trusted users and groups. This
1516 behavior is controlled by the 'winbind trusted domains only' smb.conf
1517 parameter (disabled by default to provide 2.2.x winbind behavior).
1519 5) Group mapping support is wrapped in the local_XX_to_XX() functions
1520 in smbd/uid.c. The reason that group mappings are not included
1521 in winbindd is because the purpose of Samba's group map is to
1522 match any Windows SID with an existing UNIX group. These UNIX
1523 groups can be created by winbindd (see next section), but the
1524 SID<->gid mapping is retreived by smbd, not winbindd.
1530 * security = server running winbindd to allocate accounts on demand
1532 * Samba PDC running winbindd to handle the automatic creation of UNIX
1533 identities for machine trust accounts
1535 * Automtically creating UNIX user and groups when migrating a Windows NT
1536 4.0 PDC to a Samba PDC. Winbindd must be running when executing
1537 'net rpc vampire' for this to work.
