7 is provided for testing only. This release is *not* intended
8 for production servers. However, there have been several bug
9 fixes and new features added since 3.0.14 that we feel are
10 important to make available to the Samba community for wider

361 o Failure to establish a trust relationship via 'net rpc trust
363 o Various portability & compiler issues.

388 =======================
389 Large Directory Support
390 =======================
392 Samba 3.0.12pre1 introduces a specific mechanism for dealing
393 with file services that frequently contain a large number of files
394 per directory. Historically Samba's performance has suffered
395 in such environments due to the translation from case
396 insensitive lookups by Windows client to the case sensitive
397 storage mechanisms used by UNIX filesystems.
399 Configuration details along with a short HOWTO can be found at:
401 http://www.samba.org/samba/ftp/HOWTO/Samba-LargeDirectory-HOWTO
404 ==================================
405 libsmbclient Binary Compatibility
406 ==================================
408 Please note that a change has been made to the _SMBCCTX structure
409 in source/include/libsmbclient.h. This change is not backwards
410 compatible with applications linked against the libsmbclient.so
411 library from Samba 3.0.11. However, it is compatible with all
412 other Samba 3.0.x releases. This means that it will be most likely
413 be necessary to recompile any applications linked against the
414 3.0.11 version of the library.

749 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.11
751 ==============================
753 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.11 include:
755 o Crash in smbd when using CUPS printing.
756 o Parsing error of other SIDs included in the user_info_3
757 structure returned from domain controllers.
758 o Inefficiencies when searching non-AD LDAP directories.
759 o Failure to expand variables in user domain attributes
760 in tdbsam and ldapsam.
762 o Failure to retrieve certain attribute when migrating from
763 a Windows DC to a Samba DC via 'net rpc vampire'.
764 o Numerous printing bugs bugs including memory
765 bloating on large/busy print servers.
766 o Compatibility issues with Exchange 5.5 SP4.
769 Additional features introduced in Samba 3.0.11:
771 o Winbindd performance improvements.
772 o More 'net rpc vampire' functionality.
773 o Support for the Windows privilege model to assign rights
775 o New administrative options to the 'net rpc' command.
782 If "ldap user suffix" or "ldap machine suffix" are defined in
783 smb.conf, all user-accounts must reside below the user suffix,
784 and all machine and inter-domain trust-accounts must be located
785 below the machine suffix. Previous Samba releases would fall
786 back to searching the 'ldap suffix' in some cases.
793 Samba 3.0.11 supports the following assignable rights
795 SeMachineAccountPrivilege Add machines to domain
796 SePrintOperatorPrivilege Manage printers
797 SeAddUsersPrivilege Add users and groups to the domain
798 SeRemoteShutdownPrivilege Force shutdown from a remote system
799 SeDiskOperatorPrivilege Manage disk shares
801 These rights can be assigned to arbitrary users or groups
802 via the 'net rpc rights grant/revoke' command. More details
803 of Samba's privilege implementation can be found in the
804 Samba-HOWTO-Collection.

1362 ===========================
1363 Change in Winbindd Behavior
1364 ===========================
1366 All usernames returned by winbindd are now converted to lower
1367 case for better consistency. This means any winbind installation
1368 relying on the winbind username will need to rename existing
1369 directories and/or files based on the username (%u and %U) to lower
1370 case (e.g. mv $name `echo $name | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`). This may
1371 include mail spool files, home directories, valid user lines in
1375 ======================
1376 Change in Username Map
1377 ======================
1379 Previous Samba releases would only support reading the fully qualified
1380 username (e.g. DOMAIN\user) from the username map when performing a
1381 kerberos login from a client. However, when looking up a map
1382 entry for a user authenticated by NTLM[SSP], only the login name would be
1383 used for matches. This resulted in inconsistent behavior sometimes
1384 even on the same server.
1386 Samba 3.0.8 obeys the following rules when applying the username
1389 * When performing local authentication, the username map is
1390 applied to the login name before attempting to authenticate
1392 * When relying upon a external domain controller for validating
1393 authentication requests, smbd will apply the username map
1394 to the fully qualified username (i.e. DOMAIN\user) only
1395 after the user has been successfully authenticated.

1984 unix extensions = yes (default) and symlinks
1985 ============================================
1987 Beginning with Samba 3.0.6pre1 (formerly known as 3.0.5pre1),
1988 clients supporting the UNIX extensions to the CIFS protocol
1989 can create symlinks to absolute paths which will be **followed**
1990 by the server. This functionality has been requested in order
1991 to correctly support certain applications when the user's home
1992 directory is mounted using some type of CIFS client (e.g. the
1993 cifsvfs in the Linux 2.6 kernel).
1995 If this behavior is not acceptable for your production environment
1996 you can set 'wide links = no' in the specific share declaration in
1997 the server's smb.conf. Be aware that disabling wide link support
1998 out of a share in Samba may impact the server's performance due
1999 to the fact that smbd will now have to check each path additional
2000 times before traversing it.
2003 ========================
2004 Password History Support
2005 ========================
2007 The new password history feature allows smbd to check the new
2008 password in password change requests against a list of the user's
2009 previous passwords. The number of previous passwords to save can
2010 be set using pdbedit (4 in this example):
2012 root# pdbedit -P "password history" -C 4
2014 When using the ldapsam passdb backend, it is vital to secure the
2015 following attributes from access by non-administrative users:
2019 * sambaPasswordHistory
2021 You should refer to your directory server's documentation on how
2022 to implement this restriction.

2438 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.5
2440 =============================
2442 Please note that Samba 3.0.5 is identical to Samba 3.0.4 with
2443 the exception of correcting the two security issues outlined
2446 ######################## SECURITY RELEASE ########################
2448 Summary: Multiple Potential Buffer Overruns in Samba 3.0.x
2449 CVE ID: CAN-2004-0600, CAN-2004-0686
2450 (http://cve.mitre.org/)
2453 This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version
2454 that production Samba servers should be running for all current
2457 It has been confirmed that versions of Samba 3 prior to v3.0.4
2458 are vulnerable to two potential buffer overruns. The individual
2459 details are given below.
2465 Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.2 and later
2467 The internal routine used by the Samba Web Administration
2468 Tool (SWAT v3.0.2 and later) to decode the base64 data
2469 during HTTP basic authentication is subject to a buffer
2470 overrun caused by an invalid base64 character. It is
2471 recommended that all Samba v3.0.2 or later installations
2472 running SWAT either (a) upgrade to v3.0.5, or (b) disable
2473 the swat administration service as a temporary workaround.
2475 This same code is used internally to decode the
2476 sambaMungedDial attribute value when using the ldapsam
2477 passdb backend. While we do not believe that the base64
2478 decoding routines used by the ldapsam passdb backend can
2479 be exploited, sites using an LDAP directory service with
2480 Samba are strongly encouraged to verify that the DIT only
2481 allows write access to sambaSamAccount attributes by a
2482 sufficiently authorized user.
2484 The Samba Team would like to heartily thank Evgeny Demidov
2485 for analyzing and reporting this bug.
2491 Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.0 and later
2493 A buffer overrun has been located in the code used to support
2494 the 'mangling method = hash' smb.conf option. Please be aware
2495 that the default setting for this parameter is 'mangling method
2496 = hash2' and therefore not vulnerable.
2498 Affected Samba 3 installations can avoid this possible security
2499 bug by using the default hash2 mangling method. Server
2500 installations requiring the hash mangling method are encouraged
2501 to upgrade to Samba 3.0.5.

3074 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2a
3076 ==============================
3078 Samba 3.0.2a is a minor patch release for the 3.0.2 code base
3079 to address, in particular, a problem when using pdbedit to
3080 sanitize (--force-initialized-passwords) Samba's tdbsam
3081 backend. This is the latest stable release of Samba. This
3082 is the version that all production Samba servers should be
3083 running for all current bug-fixes.
3085 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
3087 Beginning with Samba 3.0.2, passwords for accounts with a last
3088 change time (LCT-XXX in smbpasswd, sambaPwdLastSet attribute in
3089 ldapsam, etc...) of zero (0) will be regarded as uninitialized
3090 strings. This will cause authentication to fail for such
3091 accounts. If you have valid passwords that meet this criteria,
3092 you must update the last change time to a non-zero value. If you
3093 do not, then 'pdbedit --force-initialized-passwords' will disable
3094 these accounts and reset the password hashes to a string of X's.
3096 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
3105 Please refer to the CVS log for the SAMBA_3_0 branch for complete
3106 details. The list of changes per contributor are as follows:
3109 o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
3110 * Added paranoia checks in parsing code.
3113 o Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org>
3114 * Ensure that changes to uninitialized passwords in ldapsam
3115 are written to the DIT.
3118 o Gerald (Jerry) Carter <jerry@samba.org>
3119 * Fixed iterator in tdbsam.
3120 * Fix bug that disabled accounts with a valid NT password
3121 hash, but no LanMan hash.
3124 o Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
3125 * Added missing nosetuid and noexec options.
3128 o Bostjan Golob <golob@gimb.org>

3147 =============================
3148 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2
3150 =============================
3152 It has been confirmed that previous versions of Samba 3.0 are
3153 susceptible to a password initialization bug that could grant an
3154 attacker unauthorized access to a user account created by the
3155 mksmbpasswd.sh shell script.
3157 The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
3158 has assigned the name CAN-2004-0082 to this issue.
3160 Samba administrators not wishing to upgrade to the current
3161 version should download the 3.0.2 release, build the pdbedit
3164 root# pdbedit-3.0.2 --force-initialized-passwords
3166 This will disable all accounts not possessing a valid password
3167 (e.g. the password field has been set a string of X's).
3169 Samba servers running 3.0.2 are not vulnerable to this bug
3170 regardless of whether or not pdbedit has been used to sanitize
3173 Some of the more visible bugs in 3.0.1 addressed in the 3.0.2
3176 o Joining a Samba domain from Pre-SP2 Windows 2000 clients.
3177 o Logging onto a Samba domain from Windows XP clients.
3178 o Problems with the %U and %u smb.conf variables in relation to
3179 Windows 9x/ME clients.
3180 o Kerberos failures due to an invalid in memory keytab detection
3182 o Updates to the ntlm_auth tool.
3183 o Fixes for various SMB signing errors.
3184 o Better separation of WINS and DNS queries for domain controllers.
3185 o Issues with nss_winbind FreeBSD and Solaris.
3186 o Several crash bugs in smbd and winbindd.
3187 o Output formatting fixes for smbclient for better compatibility
3188 with scripts based on the 2.2 version.

3760 The original 3.0.0 release notes follow
3761 =======================================
3762 WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.0
3764 =======================================
3770 1) Active Directory support. Samba 3.0 is now able to
3771 join a ADS realm as a member server and authenticate
3772 users using LDAP/Kerberos.
3774 2) Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate UNICODE on the wire
3775 and internally there is now a much better infrastructure for
3776 multi-byte and UNICODE character sets.
3778 3) New authentication system. The internal authentication system
3779 has been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are
3780 internal, but the new auth system is also very configurable.
3782 4) New default filename mangling system.
3784 5) A new "net" command has been added. It is somewhat similar to
3785 the "net" command in windows. Eventually we plan to replace
3786 numerous other utilities (such as smbpasswd) with subcommands
3789 6) Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
3790 improves error handling a lot.
3792 7) Better Windows 2000/XP/2003 printing support including publishing
3793 printer attributes in active directory.
3795 8) New loadable module support for passdb backends and character
3798 9) New default dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance.
3800 10) Support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Samba
3801 domain and maintaining user, group and domain SIDs.
3803 11) Support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
3806 12) Initial support for a distributed Winbind architecture using
3807 an LDAP directory for storing SID to uid/gid mappings.
3809 13) Major updates to the Samba documentation tree.
3811 14) Full support for client and server SMB signing to ensure
3812 compatibility with default Windows 2003 security settings.
3814 15) Improvement of ACL mapping features based on code donated by
3815 Andreas Grünbacher.
3818 Plus lots of other improvements!
3821 Additional Documentation
3822 ------------------------
3824 Please refer to Samba documentation tree (included in the docs/
3825 subdirectory) for extensive explanations of installing, configuring
3826 and maintaining Samba 3.0 servers and clients. It is advised to
3827 begin with the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for overviews and specific
3828 tasks (the current book is up to approximately 400 pages) and to
3829 refer to the various man pages for information on individual options.
3831 We are very glad to be able to include the second edition of
3832 "Using Samba" by Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown
3833 (O'Reilly & Associates) in this release. The book is available
3834 on-line at http://samba.org/samba/docs/ and is included with
3835 the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). Thanks to the authors and
3836 publisher for making "Using Samba" under the GNU Free Documentation
3840 ######################################################################
3841 Upgrading from a previous Samba 3.0 beta
3842 ########################################
3844 Beginning with Samba 3.0.0beta3, the RID allocation functions
3845 have been moved into winbindd. Previously these were handled
3846 by each passdb backend. This means that winbindd must be running
3847 to automatically allocate RIDs for users and/or groups. Otherwise,
3848 smbd will use the 2.2 algorithm for generating new RIDs.
3850 If you are using 'passdb backend = tdbsam' with a previous Samba
3851 3.0 beta release (or possibly alpha), it may be necessary to
3852 move the RID_COUNTER entry from /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
3853 to winbindd_idmap.tdb. To do this:
3855 1) Ensure that winbindd_idmap.tdb exists (launch winbindd at least
3857 2) build tdbtool by executing 'make tdbtool' in the source/tdb/
3859 3) run: (note that 'tdb>' is the tool's prompt for input)
3861 root# ./tdbtool /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
3862 tdb> show RID_COUNTER
3866 [000] 0A 52 00 00 .R.
3868 tdb> move RID_COUNTER /usr/local/samba/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb
3872 If you are using 'passdb backend = ldapsam', it will be necessary to
3873 store idmap entries in the LDAP directory as well (i.e. idmap backend
3874 = ldap). Refer to the 'net idmap' command for more information on
3875 migrating SID<->UNIX id mappings from one backend to another.
3877 If the RID_COUNTER record does not exist, then these instructions are
3878 unneccessary and the new RID_COUNTER record will be correctly generated

4058 This section contains brief descriptions of any new databases
4059 introduced in Samba 3.0. Please remember to backup your existing
4060 ${lock directory}/*tdb before upgrading to Samba 3.0. Samba will
4061 upgrade databases as they are opened (if necessary), but downgrading
4062 from 3.0 to 2.2 is an unsupported path.
4064 Name Description Backup?
4065 ---- ----------- -------
4066 account_policy User policy settings yes
4067 gencache Generic caching db no
4068 group_mapping Mapping table from Windows yes
4069 groups/SID to unix groups
4070 winbindd_idmap ID map table from SIDS to UNIX yes
4072 namecache Name resolution cache entries no

4077 command' created on a per print
4079 registry Read-only samba registry skeleton no
4080 that provides support for exporting
4081 various db tables via the winreg RPCs
4087 The following issues are known changes in behavior between Samba 2.2 and
4088 Samba 3.0 that may affect certain installations of Samba.
4090 1) When operating as a member of a Windows domain, Samba 2.2 would
4091 map any users authenticated by the remote DC to the 'guest account'
4092 if a uid could not be obtained via the getpwnam() call. Samba 3.0
4093 rejects the connection as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. There is no
4094 current work around to re-establish the 2.2 behavior.
4096 2) When adding machines to a Samba 2.2 controlled domain, the
4097 'add user script' was used to create the UNIX identity of the
4098 machine trust account. Samba 3.0 introduces a new 'add machine
4099 script' that must be specified for this purpose. Samba 3.0 will
4100 not fall back to using the 'add user script' in the absence of
4101 an 'add machine script'
4104 ######################################################################
4105 Passdb Backends and Authentication
4106 ##################################
4108 There have been a few new changes that Samba administrators should be
4109 aware of when moving to Samba 3.0.
4111 1) encrypted passwords have been enabled by default in order to
4112 inter-operate better with out-of-the-box Windows client
4113 installations. This does mean that either (a) a samba account
4114 must be created for each user, or (b) 'encrypt passwords = no'
4115 must be explicitly defined in smb.conf.
4117 2) Inclusion of new 'security = ads' option for integration
4118 with an Active Directory domain using the native Windows
4119 Kerberos 5 and LDAP protocols.
4121 MIT kerberos 1.3.1 supports the ARCFOUR-HMAC-MD5 encryption
4122 type which is neccessary for servers on which the
4123 administrator password has not been changed, or kerberos-enabled
4124 SMB connections to servers that require Kerberos SMB signing.
4125 Besides this one difference, either MIT or Heimdal Kerberos
4126 distributions are usable by Samba 3.0.
4129 Samba 3.0 also includes the possibility of setting up chains
4130 of authentication methods (auth methods) and account storage
4131 backends (passdb backend). Please refer to the smb.conf(5)
4132 man page for details. While both parameters assume sane default
4133 values, it is likely that you will need to understand what the
4134 values actually mean in order to ensure Samba operates correctly.
4136 The recommended passdb backends at this time are
4138 * smbpasswd - 2.2 compatible flat file format
4139 * tdbsam - attribute rich database intended as an smbpasswd
4140 replacement for stand alone servers
4141 * ldapsam - attribute rich account storage and retrieval
4142 backend utilizing an LDAP directory.
4143 * ldapsam_compat - a 2.2 backward compatible LDAP account
4146 Certain functions of the smbpasswd(8) tool have been split between the
4147 new smbpasswd(8) utility, the net(8) tool, and the new pdbedit(8)
4148 utility. See the respective man pages for details.
4151 ######################################################################
4155 This section outlines the new features affecting Samba / LDAP
4161 A new object class (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace
4162 the old sambaAccount. This change aids us in the renaming of
4163 attributes to prevent clashes with attributes from other vendors.
4164 There is a conversion script (examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to
4165 modify and LDIF file to the new schema.
4169 $ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." > sambaAcct.ldif
4170 $ convertSambaAccount --sid=<Domain SID> \
4171 --input=sambaAcct.ldif --output=sambaSamAcct.ldif \
4172 --changetype=[modify|add]
4174 The <DOM SID> can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid
4175 <DOMAINNAME>' on the Samba PDC as root. The changetype determines
4176 the format of the generated LDIF output--either create new entries
4177 or modify existing entries.
4179 The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
4180 "ldapsam_compat" passdb backend. However, the sambaAccount and
4181 associated attributes have been moved to the historical section of
4182 the schema file and must be uncommented before use if needed.
4183 The 2.2 object class declaration for a sambaAccount has not changed
4184 in the 3.0 samba.schema file.
4186 Other new object classes and their uses include:
4188 * sambaDomain - domain information used to allocate rids
4189 for users and groups as necessary. The attributes are added
4190 in 'ldap suffix' directory entry automatically if
4191 an idmap uid/gid range has been set and the 'ldapsam'
4192 passdb backend has been selected.
4194 * sambaGroupMapping - an object representing the
4195 relationship between a posixGroup and a Windows
4196 group/SID. These entries are stored in the 'ldap
4197 group suffix' and managed by the 'net groupmap' command.
4199 * sambaUnixIdPool - created in the 'ldap idmap suffix' entry
4200 automatically and contains the next available 'idmap uid' and
4203 * sambaIdmapEntry - object storing a mapping between a
4204 SID and a UNIX uid/gid. These objects are created by the
4205 idmap_ldap module as needed.
4207 * sambaSidEntry - object representing a SID alone, as a Structural
4208 class on which to build the sambaIdmapEntry.
4211 New Suffix for Searching
4212 ------------------------
4214 The following new smb.conf parameters have been added to aid in directing
4215 certain LDAP queries when 'passdb backend = ldapsam://...' has been
4218 * ldap suffix - used to search for user and computer accounts
4219 * ldap user suffix - used to store user accounts
4220 * ldap machine suffix - used to store machine trust accounts
4221 * ldap group suffix - location of posixGroup/sambaGroupMapping entries
4222 * ldap idmap suffix - location of sambaIdmapEntry objects
4224 If an 'ldap suffix' is defined, it will be appended to all of the
4225 remaining sub-suffix parameters. In this case, the order of the suffix
4226 listings in smb.conf is important. Always place the 'ldap suffix' first
4229 Due to a limitation in Samba's smb.conf parsing, you should not surround
4230 the DN's with quotation marks.
4236 Samba 3.0 supports an ldap backend for the idmap subsystem. The
4237 following options would inform Samba that the idmap table should be
4238 stored on the directory server onterose in the "ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,
4243 idmap backend = ldap:ldap://onterose/
4244 ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,dc=org
4245 idmap uid = 40000-50000
4246 idmap gid = 40000-50000
4248 This configuration allows winbind installations on multiple servers to
4249 share a uid/gid number space, thus avoiding the interoperability problems
4250 with NFS that were present in Samba 2.2.
4254 ######################################################################
4255 Trust Relationships and a Samba Domain
4256 ######################################
4258 Samba 3.0.0beta2 is able to utilize winbindd as the means of
4259 allocating uids and gids to trusted users and groups. More
4260 information regarding Samba's support for establishing trust
4261 relationships can be found in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection included
4262 in the docs/ directory of this release.
4264 First create your Samba PDC and ensure that everything is
4265 working correctly before moving on the trusts.
4267 To establish Samba as the trusting domain (named SAMBA) from a Windows NT
4268 4.0 domain named WINDOWS:
4270 1) create the trust account for SAMBA in "User Manager for Domains"
4271 2) connect the trust from the Samba domain using
4272 'net rpc trustdom establish GLASS'
4274 To create a trustlationship with SAMBA as the trusted domain:
4276 1) create the initial trust account for GLASS using
4277 'smbpasswd -a -i GLASS'. You may need to create a UNIX
4278 account for GLASS$ prior to this step (depending on your
4279 local configuration).
4280 2) connect the trust from a WINDOWS DC using "User Manager
4283 Now join winbindd on the Samba PDC to the SAMBA domain using
4284 the normal steps for adding a Samba server to an NT4 domain:
4285 (note that smbd & nmbd must be running at this point)
4287 root# net rpc join -U root
4288 Password: <enter root password from smbpasswd file here>
4290 Start winbindd and test the join with 'wbinfo -t'.
4292 Now test the trust relationship by connecting to the SAMBA DC
4293 (e.g. POGO) as a user from the WINDOWS domain:
4295 $ smbclient //pogo/netlogon -U Administrator -W WINDOWS
4298 Now connect to the WINDOWS DC (e.g. CRYSTAL) as a Samba user:
4300 $ smbclient //crystal/netlogon -U root -W WINDOWS
4303 ######################################################################
4307 Beginning with Samba3.0.0beta3, winbindd has been given new account
4308 manage functionality equivalent to the 'add user script' family of
4309 smb.conf parameters. The idmap design has also been changed to
4310 centralize control of foreign SID lookups and matching to UNIX
4314 Brief Description of Changes
4315 ----------------------------
4317 1) The sid_to_uid() family of functions (smbd/uid.c) have been
4318 reverted to the 2.2.x design. This means that when resolving a
4319 SID to a UID or similar mapping:
4321 a) First consult winbindd
4322 b) perform a local lookup only if winbindd fails to
4323 return a successful answer
4325 There are some variations to this, but these two rules generally
4328 2) All idmap lookups have been moved into winbindd. This means that
4329 a server must run winbindd (and support NSS) in order to achieve
4330 any mappings of SID to dynamically allocated UNIX ids. This was
4331 a conscious design choice.
4333 3) New functions have been added to winbindd to emulate the 'add user
4334 script' family of smbd functions without requiring that external
4335 scripts be defined. This functionality is controlled by the 'winbind
4336 enable local accounts' smb.conf parameter (enabled by default).
4338 However, this account management functionality is only supported
4339 in a local tdb (winbindd_idmap.tdb). If these new UNIX accounts
4340 must be shared among multiple Samba servers (such as a PDC and BDCs),
4341 it will be necessary to define your own 'add user script', et. al.
4342 programs that place the accounts/groups in some form of directory
4343 such as NIS or LDAP. This requirement was deemed beyond the scope
4344 of winbind's account management functions. Solutions for
4345 distributing UNIX system information have been deployed and tested
4346 for many years. We saw no need to reinvent the wheel.
4348 4) A member of a Samba controlled domain running winbindd is now able
4349 to map domain users directly onto existing UNIX accounts while still
4350 automatically creating accounts for trusted users and groups. This
4351 behavior is controlled by the 'winbind trusted domains only' smb.conf
4352 parameter (disabled by default to provide 2.2.x winbind behavior).
4354 5) Group mapping support is wrapped in the local_XX_to_XX() functions
4355 in smbd/uid.c. The reason that group mappings are not included
4356 in winbindd is because the purpose of Samba's group map is to
4357 match any Windows SID with an existing UNIX group. These UNIX
4358 groups can be created by winbindd (see next section), but the
4359 SID<->gid mapping is retreived by smbd, not winbindd.
4365 * security = server running winbindd to allocate accounts on demand
4367 * Samba PDC running winbindd to handle the automatic creation of UNIX
4368 identities for machine trust accounts
4370 * Automtically creating UNIX user and groups when migrating a Windows NT
4371 4.0 PDC to a Samba PDC. Winbindd must be running when executing
4372 'net rpc vampire' for this to work.
