2 Release Notes for Samba 3.3.0pre1
4 =================================
6 This is the first preview release of Samba 3.3.0. This is *not*
7 intended for production environments and is designed for testing
8 purposes only. Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting
9 system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/.
11 Major enhancements in Samba 3.3.0 include:
13 Configuration/installation:
14 o Splitting of library directory into library directory and separate
18 o Extended Cluster support.
21 o Simplyfied idmap configuration.
22 o Added new parameter "winbind reconnect delay".
25 o The destination "all" of smbcontrol does now affect all running
26 daemons including nmbd and winbindd.
27 o New 'net rpc vampire keytab' command.
30 Winbind idmap backend changes
31 =============================
33 The idmap configuration has changed with version 3.3 to something that
34 allows a smoother upgrade path from pre-3.0.25 configurations that use
35 "idmap backend". The reason for this change is that to many, also to Samba
36 developers, the 3.0.25 style configuration with "idmap config" turned out
37 to be very complex. Version 3.3 no longer deprecates the "idmap backend"
38 parameter, instead with "idmap backend" the default idmap backend is
41 Accordingly, the "idmap config <domain> : default = yes" setting is no
42 longer being looked at. As another simplification, there can be only one
45 The alloc backend defaults to the default backend, which should be able to
46 allocate IDs. In the default distribution the tdb and ldap backends can
47 allocate, the ad and rid backends can not. The idmap alloc range is now
48 being set with the "old" parameters "idmap uid" and "idmap gid".
50 The "idmap domains" parameter has been removed.
