2 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.5pre1
3 May 25, 2004
4 =================================
6 This is a preview release of the Samba 3.0.5 code base and is
7 provided for testing only. This release is *not* intended for
8 production servers. Use at your own risk.
10 There have been several bug fixes since the 3.0.4 release that
11 we feel are important to make available to the Samba community
12 for wider testings. See the "Changes" section for details on
13 exact updates.
15 Common bugs fixed in Samba 3.0.4 include:
17 o Schannel failure in winbindd.
18 o Numerous memory leaks.
19 o Incompatibilities between the 'write list' and 'force user'
20 smb.conf options.
22 ATTENTION! NEW BEHAVIOR!
23 -------------------------
25 Beginning with Samba 3.0.5pre1, clients supporting the UNIX
26 extensions to the CIFS protocol can create symlinks to
27 absolute paths which will be **followed** by the server. This
28 functionality has been requested in order to correctly support
29 certain applications when the user's home directory is mounted
30 using some type of CIFS client (e.g. the cifsvfs in the Linux
31 2.6 kernel).
33 If this behavior is not acceptable for your production environment
34 you can set 'wide links = no' in the specific share declaration in
35 the server's smb.conf. Be aware that disabling wide link support
36 out of a share in Samba may impact the server's performance due
37 to the fact that smbd will now have to check each path additional
38 times before traversing it.

740 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2a
741 February 13, 2004
742 ==============================
744 Samba 3.0.2a is a minor patch release for the 3.0.2 code base
745 to address, in particular, a problem when using pdbedit to
746 sanitize (--force-initialized-passwords) Samba's tdbsam
747 backend. This is the latest stable release of Samba. This
748 is the version that all production Samba servers should be
749 running for all current bug-fixes.
751 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
753 Beginning with Samba 3.0.2, passwords for accounts with a last
754 change time (LCT-XXX in smbpasswd, sambaPwdLastSet attribute in
755 ldapsam, etc...) of zero (0) will be regarded as uninitialized
756 strings. This will cause authentication to fail for such
757 accounts. If you have valid passwords that meet this criteria,
758 you must update the last change time to a non-zero value. If you
759 do not, then 'pdbedit --force-initialized-passwords' will disable
760 these accounts and reset the password hashes to a string of X's.
762 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
765 Changes since 3.0.2

814 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2
815 February 9, 2004
816 =============================
818 It has been confirmed that previous versions of Samba 3.0 are
819 susceptible to a password initialization bug that could grant an
820 attacker unauthorized access to a user account created by the
821 mksmbpasswd.sh shell script.
823 The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
824 has assigned the name CAN-2004-0082 to this issue.
826 Samba administrators not wishing to upgrade to the current
827 version should download the 3.0.2 release, build the pdbedit
828 tool, and run
830 root# pdbedit-3.0.2 --force-initialized-passwords
832 This will disable all accounts not possessing a valid password
833 (e.g. the password field has been set a string of X's).
835 Samba servers running 3.0.2 are not vulnerable to this bug
836 regardless of whether or not pdbedit has been used to sanitize
837 the passdb backend.
839 Some of the more visible bugs in 3.0.1 addressed in the 3.0.2
840 release include:
842 o Joining a Samba domain from Pre-SP2 Windows 2000 clients.
843 o Logging onto a Samba domain from Windows XP clients.
844 o Problems with the %U and %u smb.conf variables in relation to
845 Windows 9x/ME clients.
846 o Kerberos failures due to an invalid in memory keytab detection
847 test.
848 o Updates to the ntlm_auth tool.
849 o Fixes for various SMB signing errors.
850 o Better separation of WINS and DNS queries for domain controllers.
851 o Issues with nss_winbind FreeBSD and Solaris.
852 o Several crash bugs in smbd and winbindd.
853 o Output formatting fixes for smbclient for better compatibility
854 with scripts based on the 2.2 version.

1273 up value which just happens to be less than sizeof(fstring).
1274 (bug 713).
1275 o Add ldaplibs to pdbedit link line (bug 651).
1276 o Fix crash bug in smbclient completion (bug 659).

1287 o Run krb5 logins through the username map if the winbindd
1288 lookup fails (bug 698).
1289 o Add const for lp_set_name_resolve_order() to avoid compiler
1290 warnings (bug 471).
1291 o Add support for the %i macro in smb.conf to stand in for the for
1292 the local IP address to which a client connected.
1293 o Allow winbindd to match local accounts to domain SID when
1294 'winbind trusted domains only = yes' (bug 680).
1295 o Remove code in idmap_ldap that searches the user suffix and group
1296 suffix. It's not needed and provides inconsistent functionality
1297 from the tdb backend.
1298 o Patch to handle munged dial string for Windows 2000 TSE.
1299 Thanks to Gaz de France, Direction de la Recherche, Service
1300 Informatique Métier for their supporting this work by Aurelien
1301 Degrémont <adegremont@idealx.com>.
1302 o Correct the "smbldap_open: cannot access when not root error"
1303 messages when looking up group information (bug 281).
1304 o Skip over the winbind separator when looking up a user.
1305 This fixes the bug that prevented local users from

1315 monitor used by Windows NT and later clients (bug 660).
1316 o Fix several reported problems with point-n-print from
1317 Windows 2000/XP clients due to a bug in the EnumPrinterDataEx()
1318 reply (bug 338, 527 & 643).
1319 o Fix a handful of potential memory leaks in the LDAP code used
1320 by ldapsam[_compat] and the LDAP idmap backend.
1321 o Fix for pdbedit error code returns (bug 763).
1322 o Make sure we only enumerate group mapping entries (not
1323 /etc/group) even when doing local aliases.
1324 o Relax check on the pipe name in a dce/rpc bind response to work
1325 around issues with establishing trusts to a Windows 2003 domain.
1326 o Ensure we mangle names ending in '.' in hash2 mangling method.
1327 o Correct parsing issues with munged dial string.
1328 o Fix bugs in quota support for XFS.
1329 o Add a cleaner method for applications that need to provide
1330 name->SID mappings to do this via NSS rather than having to
1331 know the winbindd pipe protocol.
1332 o Adds a variant of the winbindd_getgroups() call called
1333 winbindd_getusersids() that provides direct SID->SIDs listing of
1334 a users supplementary groups. This is enough to allow non-Samba
1335 applications to do ACL checking.
1336 o Make sure we don't append the 'ldap suffix' when writing out the
1337 'ldap XXX suffix' values in SWAT (bug 328).
1338 o Fix renames across file systems.
1339 o Ensure that items in a list of strings containing whitespace are
1340 written out surrounded by single quotes. This means that both
1341 double and single quotes are now used to surround strings in
1342 smb.conf (bug 481).
1343 o Enable SWAT to correctly determine if winbindd is running (bug
1344 398).
1345 o Include WWW-Authenticate field in 401 response for bad auth
1346 attempt (bug 629).
1347 o Add support for NTLM2 (NTLMv2 session security).
1348 o Add support for variable-length session keys.

1354 o Disable NTLM2 for RPC pipes.
1355 o Allow the client to specify the NTLM2 flags got NTLMSSP
1356 authentication.
1357 o Change the name of the job passed off to cups from "Test Page"
1358 to "smbprn.00000033 Test Page" so that we can get the smb
1359 jobid back. This allow users to delete jobs with cups printing
1360 backend (partial work on bug 770).
1361 o Fix build of winbindd with static pdb modules.
1362 o Retrieve the correct ACL group bits if the file has an ACL
1363 (bug 802).
1364 o Implement "net rpc group members": Get members of a domain group
1365 in human-readable format.
1366 o Add MacOSX (Darwin) specific charset module code.
1367 o Use samr_dispinfo(level == 1) for enumerating domain users so we
1368 can include the full name in gecos field (bug 587).
1369 o Add support for winbind's NSS library on FeeeBSD 5.1 (bug 797).
1370 o Implement 'net rpc group list [global|local|builtin]*' for a
1371 select listing of the respective user databases.
1372 o Don't automatically set NT status code flag unless client tells
1373 us it can cope.
1374 o Add 'net status [sessions|shares] [parseable]'.
1375 o Don't mistake pre-existing UNIX jobs for smb jobs (remainder of
1376 bug 770).
1377 o Add 'Replicator' and 'RAS Servers' to list of builtin SIDs
1378 (bug 608).
1379 o Fix inverted logic in hosts allow/deny checks caused by
1380 s/strcmp/strequal/ (bug 846).
1381 o Implement correct version SamrRemoveSidForeignDomain() (bug 252).
1382 o Fix typo in 'hash' mangling algorithm.
1383 o Support munged dial for ldapsam (bug 800).
1384 o Fix process_incoming_data() to return the number of bytes handled
1385 this call whether we have a complete PDU or not; fixes bug
1386 with multiple PDU request rpc's broken over SMBwriteX calls
1387 each.
1388 o Fix incorrect smb flags2 for connections to pre-NT servers
1389 (causes smbclient to fail to OS2 for example) (bug 821).

1398 o Fix bugs in hosts allow/deny when using a mismatched
1399 network/netmask pair.
1400 o Protect alloc_sub_basic() from crashing when the source string
1401 is NULL (partial work on bug 687).
1402 o Fix spinlocks on IRIX.
1403 o Corrected some bad destination paths when running "configure
1404 --with-fhs".
1405 o Add packaging files for Fedora Core 1.
1406 o Correct bug in SWAT install script for non-english languages.
1407 o Support character set ISO-8859-1 internally (bug 558).

1426 The original 3.0.0 release notes follow
1427 =======================================
1428 WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.0
1429 September 24, 2003
1430 =======================================
1433 Major new features:
1434 -------------------
1436 1) Active Directory support. Samba 3.0 is now able to
1437 join a ADS realm as a member server and authenticate
1438 users using LDAP/Kerberos.
1440 2) Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate UNICODE on the wire
1441 and internally there is now a much better infrastructure for
1442 multi-byte and UNICODE character sets.
1444 3) New authentication system. The internal authentication system
1445 has been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are
1446 internal, but the new auth system is also very configurable.
1448 4) New default filename mangling system.
1450 5) A new "net" command has been added. It is somewhat similar to
1451 the "net" command in windows. Eventually we plan to replace
1452 numerous other utilities (such as smbpasswd) with subcommands
1453 in "net".
1455 6) Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
1456 improves error handling a lot.
1458 7) Better Windows 2000/XP/2003 printing support including publishing
1459 printer attributes in active directory.
1461 8) New loadable module support for passdb backends and character
1462 sets.
1464 9) New default dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance.
1466 10) Support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Samba
1467 domain and maintaining user, group and domain SIDs.
1469 11) Support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
1470 domain controllers.
1472 12) Initial support for a distributed Winbind architecture using
1473 an LDAP directory for storing SID to uid/gid mappings.
1475 13) Major updates to the Samba documentation tree.
1477 14) Full support for client and server SMB signing to ensure
1478 compatibility with default Windows 2003 security settings.
1480 15) Improvement of ACL mapping features based on code donated by
1481 Andreas Grünbacher.
1484 Plus lots of other improvements!
1487 Additional Documentation
1488 ------------------------
1490 Please refer to Samba documentation tree (included in the docs/
1491 subdirectory) for extensive explanations of installing, configuring
1492 and maintaining Samba 3.0 servers and clients. It is advised to
1493 begin with the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for overviews and specific
1494 tasks (the current book is up to approximately 400 pages) and to
1495 refer to the various man pages for information on individual options.
1497 We are very glad to be able to include the second edition of
1498 "Using Samba" by Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown
1499 (O'Reilly & Associates) in this release. The book is available
1500 on-line at http://samba.org/samba/docs/ and is included with
1501 the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). Thanks to the authors and
1502 publisher for making "Using Samba" under the GNU Free Documentation
1503 License.
1506 ######################################################################
1507 Upgrading from a previous Samba 3.0 beta
1508 ########################################
1510 Beginning with Samba 3.0.0beta3, the RID allocation functions
1511 have been moved into winbindd. Previously these were handled
1512 by each passdb backend. This means that winbindd must be running
1513 to automatically allocate RIDs for users and/or groups. Otherwise,
1514 smbd will use the 2.2 algorithm for generating new RIDs.
1516 If you are using 'passdb backend = tdbsam' with a previous Samba
1517 3.0 beta release (or possibly alpha), it may be necessary to
1518 move the RID_COUNTER entry from /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
1519 to winbindd_idmap.tdb. To do this:
1521 1) Ensure that winbindd_idmap.tdb exists (launch winbindd at least
1522 once)
1523 2) build tdbtool by executing 'make tdbtool' in the source/tdb/
1524 directory
1525 3) run: (note that 'tdb>' is the tool's prompt for input)
1527 root# ./tdbtool /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
1528 tdb> show RID_COUNTER
1529 key 12 bytes
1530 RID_COUNTER
1531 data 4 bytes
1532 [000] 0A 52 00 00 .R.
1534 tdb> move RID_COUNTER /usr/local/samba/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb
1535 ....
1536 record moved
1538 If you are using 'passdb backend = ldapsam', it will be necessary to
1539 store idmap entries in the LDAP directory as well (i.e. idmap backend
1540 = ldap). Refer to the 'net idmap' command for more information on
1541 migrating SID<->UNIX id mappings from one backend to another.
1543 If the RID_COUNTER record does not exist, then these instructions are
1544 unneccessary and the new RID_COUNTER record will be correctly generated
1545 if needed.

1742 printing/*.tdb Cached output from 'lpq no
1743 command' created on a per print
1744 service basis
1745 registry Read-only samba registry skeleton no
1746 that provides support for exporting
1747 various db tables via the winreg RPCs
1750 Changes in Behavior
1751 -------------------
1753 The following issues are known changes in behavior between Samba 2.2 and
1754 Samba 3.0 that may affect certain installations of Samba.
1756 1) When operating as a member of a Windows domain, Samba 2.2 would
1757 map any users authenticated by the remote DC to the 'guest account'
1758 if a uid could not be obtained via the getpwnam() call. Samba 3.0
1759 rejects the connection as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. There is no
1760 current work around to re-establish the 2.2 behavior.
1762 2) When adding machines to a Samba 2.2 controlled domain, the
1763 'add user script' was used to create the UNIX identity of the
1764 machine trust account. Samba 3.0 introduces a new 'add machine
1765 script' that must be specified for this purpose. Samba 3.0 will
1766 not fall back to using the 'add user script' in the absence of
1767 an 'add machine script'

1771 Passdb Backends and Authentication
1772 ##################################
1774 There have been a few new changes that Samba administrators should be
1775 aware of when moving to Samba 3.0.
1777 1) encrypted passwords have been enabled by default in order to
1778 inter-operate better with out-of-the-box Windows client
1779 installations. This does mean that either (a) a samba account
1780 must be created for each user, or (b) 'encrypt passwords = no'
1781 must be explicitly defined in smb.conf.
1783 2) Inclusion of new 'security = ads' option for integration
1784 with an Active Directory domain using the native Windows
1785 Kerberos 5 and LDAP protocols.
1787 MIT kerberos 1.3.1 supports the ARCFOUR-HMAC-MD5 encryption
1788 type which is neccessary for servers on which the
1789 administrator password has not been changed, or kerberos-enabled
1790 SMB connections to servers that require Kerberos SMB signing.
1791 Besides this one difference, either MIT or Heimdal Kerberos
1792 distributions are usable by Samba 3.0.
1795 Samba 3.0 also includes the possibility of setting up chains
1796 of authentication methods (auth methods) and account storage
1797 backends (passdb backend). Please refer to the smb.conf(5)
1798 man page for details. While both parameters assume sane default
1799 values, it is likely that you will need to understand what the
1800 values actually mean in order to ensure Samba operates correctly.
1802 The recommended passdb backends at this time are
1804 * smbpasswd - 2.2 compatible flat file format
1805 * tdbsam - attribute rich database intended as an smbpasswd
1806 replacement for stand alone servers
1807 * ldapsam - attribute rich account storage and retrieval
1808 backend utilizing an LDAP directory.
1809 * ldapsam_compat - a 2.2 backward compatible LDAP account
1810 backend
1812 Certain functions of the smbpasswd(8) tool have been split between the
1813 new smbpasswd(8) utility, the net(8) tool, and the new pdbedit(8)
1814 utility. See the respective man pages for details.

1818 LDAP
1819 ####
1821 This section outlines the new features affecting Samba / LDAP
1822 integration.
1824 New Schema
1825 ----------
1827 A new object class (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace
1828 the old sambaAccount. This change aids us in the renaming of
1829 attributes to prevent clashes with attributes from other vendors.
1830 There is a conversion script (examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to
1831 modify and LDIF file to the new schema.
1833 Example:
1835 $ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." > sambaAcct.ldif
1836 $ convertSambaAccount --sid=<Domain SID> \
1837 --input=sambaAcct.ldif --output=sambaSamAcct.ldif \
1838 --changetype=[modify|add]
1840 The <DOM SID> can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid
1841 <DOMAINNAME>' on the Samba PDC as root. The changetype determines
1842 the format of the generated LDIF output--either create new entries
1843 or modify existing entries.
1845 The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
1846 "ldapsam_compat" passdb backend. However, the sambaAccount and
1847 associated attributes have been moved to the historical section of
1848 the schema file and must be uncommented before use if needed.
1849 The 2.2 object class declaration for a sambaAccount has not changed
1850 in the 3.0 samba.schema file.
1852 Other new object classes and their uses include:
1854 * sambaDomain - domain information used to allocate rids
1855 for users and groups as necessary. The attributes are added
1856 in 'ldap suffix' directory entry automatically if
1857 an idmap uid/gid range has been set and the 'ldapsam'
1858 passdb backend has been selected.
1860 * sambaGroupMapping - an object representing the
1861 relationship between a posixGroup and a Windows
1862 group/SID. These entries are stored in the 'ldap
1863 group suffix' and managed by the 'net groupmap' command.
1865 * sambaUnixIdPool - created in the 'ldap idmap suffix' entry
1866 automatically and contains the next available 'idmap uid' and
1867 'idmap gid'
1869 * sambaIdmapEntry - object storing a mapping between a
1870 SID and a UNIX uid/gid. These objects are created by the
1871 idmap_ldap module as needed.
1873 * sambaSidEntry - object representing a SID alone, as a Structural
1874 class on which to build the sambaIdmapEntry.
1877 New Suffix for Searching
1878 ------------------------
1880 The following new smb.conf parameters have been added to aid in directing
1881 certain LDAP queries when 'passdb backend = ldapsam://...' has been
1882 specified.
1884 * ldap suffix - used to search for user and computer accounts
1885 * ldap user suffix - used to store user accounts
1886 * ldap machine suffix - used to store machine trust accounts
1887 * ldap group suffix - location of posixGroup/sambaGroupMapping entries
1888 * ldap idmap suffix - location of sambaIdmapEntry objects
1890 If an 'ldap suffix' is defined, it will be appended to all of the
1891 remaining sub-suffix parameters. In this case, the order of the suffix
1892 listings in smb.conf is important. Always place the 'ldap suffix' first
1893 in the list.
1895 Due to a limitation in Samba's smb.conf parsing, you should not surround
1896 the DN's with quotation marks.
1899 IdMap LDAP support
1900 ------------------
1902 Samba 3.0 supports an ldap backend for the idmap subsystem. The
1903 following options would inform Samba that the idmap table should be
1904 stored on the directory server onterose in the "ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,
1905 dc=org" partition.
1907 [global]
1908 ...
1909 idmap backend = ldap:ldap://onterose/
1910 ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,dc=org
1911 idmap uid = 40000-50000
1912 idmap gid = 40000-50000
1914 This configuration allows winbind installations on multiple servers to
1915 share a uid/gid number space, thus avoiding the interoperability problems
1916 with NFS that were present in Samba 2.2.
1920 ######################################################################
1921 Trust Relationships and a Samba Domain
1922 ######################################
1924 Samba 3.0.0beta2 is able to utilize winbindd as the means of
1925 allocating uids and gids to trusted users and groups. More
1926 information regarding Samba's support for establishing trust
1927 relationships can be found in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection included
1928 in the docs/ directory of this release.
1930 First create your Samba PDC and ensure that everything is
1931 working correctly before moving on the trusts.
1933 To establish Samba as the trusting domain (named SAMBA) from a Windows NT
1934 4.0 domain named WINDOWS:
1936 1) create the trust account for SAMBA in "User Manager for Domains"
1937 2) connect the trust from the Samba domain using
1938 'net rpc trustdom establish GLASS'
1940 To create a trustlationship with SAMBA as the trusted domain:
1942 1) create the initial trust account for GLASS using
1943 'smbpasswd -a -i GLASS'. You may need to create a UNIX
1944 account for GLASS$ prior to this step (depending on your
1945 local configuration).
1946 2) connect the trust from a WINDOWS DC using "User Manager
1947 for Domains"
1949 Now join winbindd on the Samba PDC to the SAMBA domain using
1950 the normal steps for adding a Samba server to an NT4 domain:
1951 (note that smbd & nmbd must be running at this point)
1953 root# net rpc join -U root
1954 Password: <enter root password from smbpasswd file here>
1956 Start winbindd and test the join with 'wbinfo -t'.
1958 Now test the trust relationship by connecting to the SAMBA DC
1959 (e.g. POGO) as a user from the WINDOWS domain:
1961 $ smbclient //pogo/netlogon -U Administrator -W WINDOWS
1962 Password:
1964 Now connect to the WINDOWS DC (e.g. CRYSTAL) as a Samba user:
1966 $ smbclient //crystal/netlogon -U root -W WINDOWS
1967 Password:
1969 ######################################################################
1970 Changes in Winbind
1971 ##################
1973 Beginning with Samba3.0.0beta3, winbindd has been given new account
1974 manage functionality equivalent to the 'add user script' family of
1975 smb.conf parameters. The idmap design has also been changed to
1976 centralize control of foreign SID lookups and matching to UNIX
1977 uids and gids.
1980 Brief Description of Changes
1981 ----------------------------
1983 1) The sid_to_uid() family of functions (smbd/uid.c) have been
1984 reverted to the 2.2.x design. This means that when resolving a
1985 SID to a UID or similar mapping:
1987 a) First consult winbindd
1988 b) perform a local lookup only if winbindd fails to
1989 return a successful answer
1991 There are some variations to this, but these two rules generally
1992 apply.
1994 2) All idmap lookups have been moved into winbindd. This means that
1995 a server must run winbindd (and support NSS) in order to achieve
1996 any mappings of SID to dynamically allocated UNIX ids. This was
1997 a conscious design choice.
1999 3) New functions have been added to winbindd to emulate the 'add user
2000 script' family of smbd functions without requiring that external
2001 scripts be defined. This functionality is controlled by the 'winbind
2002 enable local accounts' smb.conf parameter (enabled by default).
2004 However, this account management functionality is only supported
2005 in a local tdb (winbindd_idmap.tdb). If these new UNIX accounts
2006 must be shared among multiple Samba servers (such as a PDC and BDCs),
2007 it will be necessary to define your own 'add user script', et. al.
2008 programs that place the accounts/groups in some form of directory
2009 such as NIS or LDAP. This requirement was deemed beyond the scope
2010 of winbind's account management functions. Solutions for
2011 distributing UNIX system information have been deployed and tested
2012 for many years. We saw no need to reinvent the wheel.
2014 4) A member of a Samba controlled domain running winbindd is now able
2015 to map domain users directly onto existing UNIX accounts while still
2016 automatically creating accounts for trusted users and groups. This
2017 behavior is controlled by the 'winbind trusted domains only' smb.conf
2018 parameter (disabled by default to provide 2.2.x winbind behavior).
2020 5) Group mapping support is wrapped in the local_XX_to_XX() functions
2021 in smbd/uid.c. The reason that group mappings are not included
2022 in winbindd is because the purpose of Samba's group map is to
2023 match any Windows SID with an existing UNIX group. These UNIX
2024 groups can be created by winbindd (see next section), but the
2025 SID<->gid mapping is retreived by smbd, not winbindd.
2028 Examples
2029 --------
2031 * security = server running winbindd to allocate accounts on demand
2033 * Samba PDC running winbindd to handle the automatic creation of UNIX
2034 identities for machine trust accounts
2036 * Automtically creating UNIX user and groups when migrating a Windows NT
2037 4.0 PDC to a Samba PDC. Winbindd must be running when executing
2038 'net rpc vampire' for this to work.
