608 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2a
610 ==============================
612 Samba 3.0.2a is a minor patch release for the 3.0.2 code base
613 to address, in particular, a problem when using pdbedit to
614 sanitize (--force-initialized-passwords) Samba's tdbsam
615 backend. This is the latest stable release of Samba. This
616 is the version that all production Samba servers should be
617 running for all current bug-fixes.
619 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
621 Beginning with Samba 3.0.2, passwords for accounts with a last
622 change time (LCT-XXX in smbpasswd, sambaPwdLastSet attribute in
623 ldapsam, etc...) of zero (0) will be regarded as uninitialized
624 strings. This will cause authentication to fail for such
625 accounts. If you have valid passwords that meet this criteria,
626 you must update the last change time to a non-zero value. If you
627 do not, then 'pdbedit --force-initialized-passwords' will disable
628 these accounts and reset the password hashes to a string of X's.
630 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
639 Please refer to the CVS log for the SAMBA_3_0 branch for complete
640 details. The list of changes per contributor are as follows:
643 o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
644 * Added paranoia checks in parsing code.
647 o Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org>
648 * Ensure that changes to uninitialized passwords in ldapsam
649 are written to the DIT.
652 o Gerald (Jerry) Carter <jerry@samba.org>
653 * Fixed iterator in tdbsam.
654 * Fix bug that disabled accounts with a valid NT password
655 hash, but no LanMan hash.
658 o Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
659 * Added missing nosetuid and noexec options.
662 o Bostjan Golob <golob@gimb.org>
663 * BUG 1046: Don't overwrite usernames of entries returned
667 o Sebastian Krahmer <krahmer@suse.de>

687 susceptible to a password initialization bug that could grant an
688 attacker unauthorized access to a user account created by the
689 mksmbpasswd.sh shell script.
691 The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
692 has assigned the name CAN-2004-0082 to this issue.
694 Samba administrators not wishing to upgrade to the current
695 version should download the 3.0.2 release, build the pdbedit
698 root# pdbedit-3.0.2 --force-initialized-passwords
700 This will disable all accounts not possessing a valid password
701 (e.g. the password field has been set a string of X's).
703 Samba servers running 3.0.2 are not vulnerable to this bug
704 regardless of whether or not pdbedit has been used to sanitize
707 Some of the more visible bugs in 3.0.1 addressed in the 3.0.2
710 o Joining a Samba domain from Pre-SP2 Windows 2000 clients.
711 o Logging onto a Samba domain from Windows XP clients.
712 o Problems with the %U and %u smb.conf variables in relation to
713 Windows 9x/ME clients.
714 o Kerberos failures due to an invalid in memory keytab detection
716 o Updates to the ntlm_auth tool.
717 o Fixes for various SMB signing errors.
718 o Better separation of WINS and DNS queries for domain controllers.
719 o Issues with nss_winbind FreeBSD and Solaris.
720 o Several crash bugs in smbd and winbindd.
721 o Output formatting fixes for smbclient for better compatibility
722 with scripts based on the 2.2 version.

1163 o Remove code in idmap_ldap that searches the user suffix and group
1164 suffix. It's not needed and provides inconsistent functionality
1165 from the tdb backend.
1166 o Patch to handle munged dial string for Windows 2000 TSE.
1167 Thanks to Gaz de France, Direction de la Recherche, Service
1168 Informatique Métier for their supporting this work by Aurelien

1200 o Adds a variant of the winbindd_getgroups() call called
1201 winbindd_getusersids() that provides direct SID->SIDs listing of
1202 a users supplementary groups. This is enough to allow non-Samba
1203 applications to do ACL checking.
1204 o Make sure we don't append the 'ldap suffix' when writing out the
1205 'ldap XXX suffix' values in SWAT (bug 328).

1294 The original 3.0.0 release notes follow
1295 =======================================
1296 WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.0
1298 =======================================
1304 1) Active Directory support. Samba 3.0 is now able to
1305 join a ADS realm as a member server and authenticate
1306 users using LDAP/Kerberos.
1308 2) Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate UNICODE on the wire
1309 and internally there is now a much better infrastructure for
1310 multi-byte and UNICODE character sets.
1312 3) New authentication system. The internal authentication system
1313 has been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are
1314 internal, but the new auth system is also very configurable.
1316 4) New default filename mangling system.
1318 5) A new "net" command has been added. It is somewhat similar to
1319 the "net" command in windows. Eventually we plan to replace
1320 numerous other utilities (such as smbpasswd) with subcommands
1323 6) Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
1324 improves error handling a lot.
1326 7) Better Windows 2000/XP/2003 printing support including publishing
1327 printer attributes in active directory.
1329 8) New loadable module support for passdb backends and character
1332 9) New default dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance.
1334 10) Support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Samba
1335 domain and maintaining user, group and domain SIDs.
1337 11) Support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
1340 12) Initial support for a distributed Winbind architecture using
1341 an LDAP directory for storing SID to uid/gid mappings.
1343 13) Major updates to the Samba documentation tree.
1345 14) Full support for client and server SMB signing to ensure
1346 compatibility with default Windows 2003 security settings.
1348 15) Improvement of ACL mapping features based on code donated by
1349 Andreas Grünbacher.
1352 Plus lots of other improvements!
1355 Additional Documentation
1356 ------------------------
1358 Please refer to Samba documentation tree (included in the docs/
1359 subdirectory) for extensive explanations of installing, configuring
1360 and maintaining Samba 3.0 servers and clients. It is advised to
1361 begin with the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for overviews and specific
1362 tasks (the current book is up to approximately 400 pages) and to
1363 refer to the various man pages for information on individual options.
1365 We are very glad to be able to include the second edition of
1366 "Using Samba" by Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown
1367 (O'Reilly & Associates) in this release. The book is available
1368 on-line at http://samba.org/samba/docs/ and is included with
1369 the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). Thanks to the authors and
1370 publisher for making "Using Samba" under the GNU Free Documentation
1374 ######################################################################
1375 Upgrading from a previous Samba 3.0 beta
1376 ########################################
1378 Beginning with Samba 3.0.0beta3, the RID allocation functions
1379 have been moved into winbindd. Previously these were handled
1380 by each passdb backend. This means that winbindd must be running
1381 to automatically allocate RIDs for users and/or groups. Otherwise,
1382 smbd will use the 2.2 algorithm for generating new RIDs.
1384 If you are using 'passdb backend = tdbsam' with a previous Samba
1385 3.0 beta release (or possibly alpha), it may be necessary to
1386 move the RID_COUNTER entry from /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
1387 to winbindd_idmap.tdb. To do this:
1389 1) Ensure that winbindd_idmap.tdb exists (launch winbindd at least
1391 2) build tdbtool by executing 'make tdbtool' in the source/tdb/
1393 3) run: (note that 'tdb>' is the tool's prompt for input)
1395 root# ./tdbtool /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
1396 tdb> show RID_COUNTER
1400 [000] 0A 52 00 00 .R.
1402 tdb> move RID_COUNTER /usr/local/samba/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb
1406 If you are using 'passdb backend = ldapsam', it will be necessary to
1407 store idmap entries in the LDAP directory as well (i.e. idmap backend
1408 = ldap). Refer to the 'net idmap' command for more information on
1409 migrating SID<->UNIX id mappings from one backend to another.
1411 If the RID_COUNTER record does not exist, then these instructions are
1412 unneccessary and the new RID_COUNTER record will be correctly generated

1592 This section contains brief descriptions of any new databases
1593 introduced in Samba 3.0. Please remember to backup your existing
1594 ${lock directory}/*tdb before upgrading to Samba 3.0. Samba will
1595 upgrade databases as they are opened (if necessary), but downgrading
1596 from 3.0 to 2.2 is an unsupported path.
1598 Name Description Backup?
1599 ---- ----------- -------
1600 account_policy User policy settings yes
1601 gencache Generic caching db no
1602 group_mapping Mapping table from Windows yes
1603 groups/SID to unix groups
1604 winbindd_idmap ID map table from SIDS to UNIX yes
1606 namecache Name resolution cache entries no

1611 command' created on a per print
1613 registry Read-only samba registry skeleton no
1614 that provides support for exporting
1615 various db tables via the winreg RPCs
1621 The following issues are known changes in behavior between Samba 2.2 and
1622 Samba 3.0 that may affect certain installations of Samba.
1624 1) When operating as a member of a Windows domain, Samba 2.2 would
1625 map any users authenticated by the remote DC to the 'guest account'
1626 if a uid could not be obtained via the getpwnam() call. Samba 3.0
1627 rejects the connection as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. There is no
1628 current work around to re-establish the 2.2 behavior.
1630 2) When adding machines to a Samba 2.2 controlled domain, the
1631 'add user script' was used to create the UNIX identity of the
1632 machine trust account. Samba 3.0 introduces a new 'add machine
1633 script' that must be specified for this purpose. Samba 3.0 will
1634 not fall back to using the 'add user script' in the absence of
1635 an 'add machine script'
1638 ######################################################################
1639 Passdb Backends and Authentication
1640 ##################################
1642 There have been a few new changes that Samba administrators should be
1643 aware of when moving to Samba 3.0.
1645 1) encrypted passwords have been enabled by default in order to
1646 inter-operate better with out-of-the-box Windows client
1647 installations. This does mean that either (a) a samba account
1648 must be created for each user, or (b) 'encrypt passwords = no'
1649 must be explicitly defined in smb.conf.
1651 2) Inclusion of new 'security = ads' option for integration
1652 with an Active Directory domain using the native Windows
1653 Kerberos 5 and LDAP protocols.
1655 MIT kerberos 1.3.1 supports the ARCFOUR-HMAC-MD5 encryption
1656 type which is neccessary for servers on which the
1657 administrator password has not been changed, or kerberos-enabled
1658 SMB connections to servers that require Kerberos SMB signing.
1659 Besides this one difference, either MIT or Heimdal Kerberos
1660 distributions are usable by Samba 3.0.
1663 Samba 3.0 also includes the possibility of setting up chains
1664 of authentication methods (auth methods) and account storage
1665 backends (passdb backend). Please refer to the smb.conf(5)
1666 man page for details. While both parameters assume sane default
1667 values, it is likely that you will need to understand what the
1668 values actually mean in order to ensure Samba operates correctly.
1670 The recommended passdb backends at this time are
1672 * smbpasswd - 2.2 compatible flat file format
1673 * tdbsam - attribute rich database intended as an smbpasswd
1674 replacement for stand alone servers
1675 * ldapsam - attribute rich account storage and retrieval
1676 backend utilizing an LDAP directory.
1677 * ldapsam_compat - a 2.2 backward compatible LDAP account
1680 Certain functions of the smbpasswd(8) tool have been split between the
1681 new smbpasswd(8) utility, the net(8) tool, and the new pdbedit(8)
1682 utility. See the respective man pages for details.
1685 ######################################################################
1689 This section outlines the new features affecting Samba / LDAP
1695 A new object class (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace
1696 the old sambaAccount. This change aids us in the renaming of
1697 attributes to prevent clashes with attributes from other vendors.
1698 There is a conversion script (examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to
1699 modify and LDIF file to the new schema.
1703 $ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." > sambaAcct.ldif
1704 $ convertSambaAccount --sid=<Domain SID> \
1705 --input=sambaAcct.ldif --output=sambaSamAcct.ldif \
1706 --changetype=[modify|add]
1708 The <DOM SID> can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid
1709 <DOMAINNAME>' on the Samba PDC as root. The changetype determines
1710 the format of the generated LDIF output--either create new entries
1711 or modify existing entries.
1713 The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
1714 "ldapsam_compat" passdb backend. However, the sambaAccount and
1715 associated attributes have been moved to the historical section of
1716 the schema file and must be uncommented before use if needed.
1717 The 2.2 object class declaration for a sambaAccount has not changed
1718 in the 3.0 samba.schema file.
1720 Other new object classes and their uses include:
1722 * sambaDomain - domain information used to allocate rids
1723 for users and groups as necessary. The attributes are added
1724 in 'ldap suffix' directory entry automatically if
1725 an idmap uid/gid range has been set and the 'ldapsam'
1726 passdb backend has been selected.
1728 * sambaGroupMapping - an object representing the
1729 relationship between a posixGroup and a Windows
1730 group/SID. These entries are stored in the 'ldap
1731 group suffix' and managed by the 'net groupmap' command.
1733 * sambaUnixIdPool - created in the 'ldap idmap suffix' entry
1734 automatically and contains the next available 'idmap uid' and
1737 * sambaIdmapEntry - object storing a mapping between a
1738 SID and a UNIX uid/gid. These objects are created by the
1739 idmap_ldap module as needed.
1741 * sambaSidEntry - object representing a SID alone, as a Structural
1742 class on which to build the sambaIdmapEntry.
1745 New Suffix for Searching
1746 ------------------------
1748 The following new smb.conf parameters have been added to aid in directing
1749 certain LDAP queries when 'passdb backend = ldapsam://...' has been
1752 * ldap suffix - used to search for user and computer accounts
1753 * ldap user suffix - used to store user accounts
1754 * ldap machine suffix - used to store machine trust accounts
1755 * ldap group suffix - location of posixGroup/sambaGroupMapping entries
1756 * ldap idmap suffix - location of sambaIdmapEntry objects
1758 If an 'ldap suffix' is defined, it will be appended to all of the
1759 remaining sub-suffix parameters. In this case, the order of the suffix
1760 listings in smb.conf is important. Always place the 'ldap suffix' first
1763 Due to a limitation in Samba's smb.conf parsing, you should not surround
1764 the DN's with quotation marks.
1770 Samba 3.0 supports an ldap backend for the idmap subsystem. The
1771 following options would inform Samba that the idmap table should be
1772 stored on the directory server onterose in the "ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,
1777 idmap backend = ldap:ldap://onterose/
1778 ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,dc=org
1779 idmap uid = 40000-50000
1780 idmap gid = 40000-50000
1782 This configuration allows winbind installations on multiple servers to
1783 share a uid/gid number space, thus avoiding the interoperability problems
1784 with NFS that were present in Samba 2.2.
1788 ######################################################################
1789 Trust Relationships and a Samba Domain
1790 ######################################
1792 Samba 3.0.0beta2 is able to utilize winbindd as the means of
1793 allocating uids and gids to trusted users and groups. More
1794 information regarding Samba's support for establishing trust
1795 relationships can be found in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection included
1796 in the docs/ directory of this release.
1798 First create your Samba PDC and ensure that everything is
1799 working correctly before moving on the trusts.
1801 To establish Samba as the trusting domain (named SAMBA) from a Windows NT
1802 4.0 domain named WINDOWS:
1804 1) create the trust account for SAMBA in "User Manager for Domains"
1805 2) connect the trust from the Samba domain using
1806 'net rpc trustdom establish GLASS'
1808 To create a trustlationship with SAMBA as the trusted domain:
1810 1) create the initial trust account for GLASS using
1811 'smbpasswd -a -i GLASS'. You may need to create a UNIX
1812 account for GLASS$ prior to this step (depending on your
1813 local configuration).
1814 2) connect the trust from a WINDOWS DC using "User Manager
1817 Now join winbindd on the Samba PDC to the SAMBA domain using
1818 the normal steps for adding a Samba server to an NT4 domain:
1819 (note that smbd & nmbd must be running at this point)
1821 root# net rpc join -U root
1822 Password: <enter root password from smbpasswd file here>
1824 Start winbindd and test the join with 'wbinfo -t'.
1826 Now test the trust relationship by connecting to the SAMBA DC
1827 (e.g. POGO) as a user from the WINDOWS domain:
1829 $ smbclient //pogo/netlogon -U Administrator -W WINDOWS
1832 Now connect to the WINDOWS DC (e.g. CRYSTAL) as a Samba user:
1834 $ smbclient //crystal/netlogon -U root -W WINDOWS
1837 ######################################################################
1841 Beginning with Samba3.0.0beta3, winbindd has been given new account
1842 manage functionality equivalent to the 'add user script' family of
1843 smb.conf parameters. The idmap design has also been changed to
1844 centralize control of foreign SID lookups and matching to UNIX
1848 Brief Description of Changes
1849 ----------------------------
1851 1) The sid_to_uid() family of functions (smbd/uid.c) have been
1852 reverted to the 2.2.x design. This means that when resolving a
1853 SID to a UID or similar mapping:
1855 a) First consult winbindd
1856 b) perform a local lookup only if winbindd fails to
1857 return a successful answer
1859 There are some variations to this, but these two rules generally
1862 2) All idmap lookups have been moved into winbindd. This means that
1863 a server must run winbindd (and support NSS) in order to achieve
1864 any mappings of SID to dynamically allocated UNIX ids. This was
1865 a conscious design choice.
1867 3) New functions have been added to winbindd to emulate the 'add user
1868 script' family of smbd functions without requiring that external
1869 scripts be defined. This functionality is controlled by the 'winbind
1870 enable local accounts' smb.conf parameter (enabled by default).
1872 However, this account management functionality is only supported
1873 in a local tdb (winbindd_idmap.tdb). If these new UNIX accounts
1874 must be shared among multiple Samba servers (such as a PDC and BDCs),
1875 it will be necessary to define your own 'add user script', et. al.
1876 programs that place the accounts/groups in some form of directory
1877 such as NIS or LDAP. This requirement was deemed beyond the scope
1878 of winbind's account management functions. Solutions for
1879 distributing UNIX system information have been deployed and tested
1880 for many years. We saw no need to reinvent the wheel.
1882 4) A member of a Samba controlled domain running winbindd is now able
1883 to map domain users directly onto existing UNIX accounts while still
1884 automatically creating accounts for trusted users and groups. This
1885 behavior is controlled by the 'winbind trusted domains only' smb.conf
1886 parameter (disabled by default to provide 2.2.x winbind behavior).
1888 5) Group mapping support is wrapped in the local_XX_to_XX() functions
1889 in smbd/uid.c. The reason that group mappings are not included
1890 in winbindd is because the purpose of Samba's group map is to
1891 match any Windows SID with an existing UNIX group. These UNIX
1892 groups can be created by winbindd (see next section), but the
1893 SID<->gid mapping is retreived by smbd, not winbindd.
1899 * security = server running winbindd to allocate accounts on demand
1901 * Samba PDC running winbindd to handle the automatic creation of UNIX
1902 identities for machine trust accounts
1904 * Automtically creating UNIX user and groups when migrating a Windows NT
1905 4.0 PDC to a Samba PDC. Winbindd must be running when executing
1906 'net rpc vampire' for this to work.
