2 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.20pre1
4 ==================================
6 This is a preview release of the Samba 3.0.20 code base and
7 is provided for testing only. This release is *not* intended
8 for production servers. There has been a substantial amount
9 of development since the 3.0.14a stable release (and since the
10 3.015pre2 release as well). We would like to ask the Samba
11 community for help in testing these changes as we work towards
12 the next official, production Samba 3.0 release.
14 Additional features introduced in Samba 3.0.20pre1 include:
16 o New asynchronous winbindd.
17 o Support for Microsoft Print Migrator.
18 o New Windows NT registry file I/O library.
19 o New user right (SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege) added.
20 o New "net share migrate" options.
23 What happened to 3.0.15 - 3.0.19?
24 ==================================
26 After some discussion it was deemed that the amount of changes
27 going into the next Samba 3.0 release needed something to catch
28 people's attention. Skipping several releases was chosen as
29 the best solution with the least overhead. There will be no
30 3.0.15 - 3.0.19 ever released. The next production release
31 following 3.0.20 should be 3.0.21.
33 The original announcement about the version number change can
34 be found in the samba mailing list archives:
36 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&m=111721010206997&w=2
39 Asynchronous Winbind Implementation
40 ===================================
42 Winbindd has been completely rewritten in this release to support
43 an almost completely non-blocking, asynchronous request/reply
44 model. This means that winbindd will scale much better in
45 large domain environments and on high latency networks. Neither
46 the client interface nor the command line tools (i.e. wbinfo) have
47 changed in their calling conventions or syntax. However, due to
48 internal structure changes, it is required (more so than normal)
49 that you install the nss_winbind.so library included in this release.
52 Support for Microsoft Print Migrator
53 ====================================
55 Samba 3.0.20pre1 supports backing up print drivers and queues
56 using the Microsoft Print Migrator (printmig.exe) tool. Currently
57 only support for restoring drivers onto a Samba server has been
58 implemented. The final 3.0.20 release will include for
59 restoring the print queues and printer settings as well. This
60 will allow organizations to easily migrate or consolidate from a
61 Windows print server environment to a Samba print server without
62 having to individually reinstall drivers and printers. The current
63 restore support also allows administrators to create a master list
64 of drivers which can be installed on a new Samba host in a single

777 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.12
779 ==============================
781 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.12 include:
783 o Winbind failures when using 'disable netbios = yes'
784 o Failure to establish a trust relationship via 'net rpc trust
786 o Various portability & compiler issues.
787 o Read only file deletion failure caused by new delete semantics
788 in Windows XP SP2 and the MS 04-044 security hotfix.

791 o Missing files in the output of smbclient -c 'dir' when run
792 against Windows file servers.
793 o Inability for Print Administrators to pause/resume/purge print
796 Additional features introduced in Samba 3.0.12:
798 o Performance enhancements when serving directories containing
799 large number of files.
800 o MS-DFS support added to smbclient.
801 o More performance improvements when using Samba/OpenLDAP based
802 DC's via the 'ldapsam:trusted=yes' option.
803 o Support for the Novell NDS universal password when using the
804 ldapsam passdb backend.
805 o New 'net rpc trustdom {add,del}' functionality to eventually
806 replace 'smbpasswd {-a,-x} -i'.
807 o New libsmbclient functionality.
811 =======================
812 Large Directory Support
813 =======================
815 Samba 3.0.12pre1 introduces a specific mechanism for dealing
816 with file services that frequently contain a large number of files
817 per directory. Historically Samba's performance has suffered
818 in such environments due to the translation from case
819 insensitive lookups by Windows client to the case sensitive
820 storage mechanisms used by UNIX filesystems.
822 Configuration details along with a short HOWTO can be found at:
824 http://www.samba.org/samba/ftp/HOWTO/Samba-LargeDirectory-HOWTO
827 ==================================
828 libsmbclient Binary Compatibility
829 ==================================
831 Please note that a change has been made to the _SMBCCTX structure
832 in source/include/libsmbclient.h. This change is not backwards
833 compatible with applications linked against the libsmbclient.so
834 library from Samba 3.0.11. However, it is compatible with all
835 other Samba 3.0.x releases. This means that it will be most likely
836 be necessary to recompile any applications linked against the
837 3.0.11 version of the library.

1172 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.11
1174 ==============================
1176 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.11 include:
1178 o Crash in smbd when using CUPS printing.
1179 o Parsing error of other SIDs included in the user_info_3
1180 structure returned from domain controllers.
1181 o Inefficiencies when searching non-AD LDAP directories.
1182 o Failure to expand variables in user domain attributes
1183 in tdbsam and ldapsam.
1185 o Failure to retrieve certain attribute when migrating from
1186 a Windows DC to a Samba DC via 'net rpc vampire'.
1187 o Numerous printing bugs bugs including memory
1188 bloating on large/busy print servers.
1189 o Compatibility issues with Exchange 5.5 SP4.
1192 Additional features introduced in Samba 3.0.11:
1194 o Winbindd performance improvements.
1195 o More 'net rpc vampire' functionality.
1196 o Support for the Windows privilege model to assign rights
1198 o New administrative options to the 'net rpc' command.
1205 If "ldap user suffix" or "ldap machine suffix" are defined in
1206 smb.conf, all user-accounts must reside below the user suffix,
1207 and all machine and inter-domain trust-accounts must be located
1208 below the machine suffix. Previous Samba releases would fall
1209 back to searching the 'ldap suffix' in some cases.
1216 Samba 3.0.11 supports the following assignable rights
1218 SeMachineAccountPrivilege Add machines to domain
1219 SePrintOperatorPrivilege Manage printers
1220 SeAddUsersPrivilege Add users and groups to the domain
1221 SeRemoteShutdownPrivilege Force shutdown from a remote system
1222 SeDiskOperatorPrivilege Manage disk shares
1224 These rights can be assigned to arbitrary users or groups
1225 via the 'net rpc rights grant/revoke' command. More details
1226 of Samba's privilege implementation can be found in the
1227 Samba-HOWTO-Collection.

1754 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.8
1756 =============================
1758 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.8 include:
1760 o Compile fixes for HP-UX
1761 o Fixes for the printer publishing code used when joined to
1763 o Incompatibilities with file system quotas.
1764 o Several bugs in the spoolss printing code and print system
1766 o Inconsistencies in the username map functionality when

1770 domains when using DES keys.
1771 o Fix for CAN-2004-0930 -- smbd remote DoS vulnerability.
1772 o Fix for CAN-2004-0882 -- possible buffer overrun in smbd.
1775 New features included in the 3.0.8 release are:
1777 o New migration functionality added the the net tool
1778 for files/directories, printers, and shares.
1779 o New experimental idmap backend for assigning uids/gids
1780 directly based on the user/group RID when acting as a
1781 member of single domain without any trusts.
1782 o Additional printer migration support for XP/2003 platforms.
1785 ===========================
1786 Change in Winbindd Behavior
1787 ===========================
1789 All usernames returned by winbindd are now converted to lower
1790 case for better consistency. This means any winbind installation
1791 relying on the winbind username will need to rename existing
1792 directories and/or files based on the username (%u and %U) to lower
1793 case (e.g. mv $name `echo $name | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`). This may
1794 include mail spool files, home directories, valid user lines in
1798 ======================
1799 Change in Username Map
1800 ======================
1802 Previous Samba releases would only support reading the fully qualified
1803 username (e.g. DOMAIN\user) from the username map when performing a
1804 kerberos login from a client. However, when looking up a map
1805 entry for a user authenticated by NTLM[SSP], only the login name would be
1806 used for matches. This resulted in inconsistent behavior sometimes
1807 even on the same server.
1809 Samba 3.0.8 obeys the following rules when applying the username
1812 * When performing local authentication, the username map is
1813 applied to the login name before attempting to authenticate
1815 * When relying upon a external domain controller for validating
1816 authentication requests, smbd will apply the username map
1817 to the fully qualified username (i.e. DOMAIN\user) only
1818 after the user has been successfully authenticated.

2362 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.6
2364 =============================
2366 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.6 include:
2368 o Schannel failure in winbindd.
2369 o Numerous memory leaks.
2370 o Incompatibilities between the 'write list' and 'force user'
2372 o Premature optimization of the open_directory() internal
2373 function that broke tools such as the ArcServe backup
2374 agent, Macromedia HomeSite, and Robocopy.
2375 o Corrupt workgroup names in nmbd's browse.dat.
2376 o Sharing violation errors commonly seen when opening
2377 when serving Microsoft Office documents from a Samba
2379 o Browsing problems caused by an apostrophe (') in the
2380 computer's description field.
2381 o Problems creating special file types from UNIX CIFS
2382 clients and enabling 'unix extensions'.
2383 o Fix stalls in smbd caused by inaccessible LDAP servers.
2384 o Remove various memory leaks.
2385 o Fix issues in the password lockout feature.
2387 New features introduced in this release include:
2389 O Support symlinks created by CIFS clients which
2390 can be followed on the server.
2391 o Using a cups server other than localhost.
2392 o Maintaining the service principal entry in the system
2393 keytab for integration with other kerberized services.
2394 Please refer to the 'use kerberos keytab' entry in
2395 smb.conf(5). When using the heimdal kerberos libraries,
2396 you must also specify the following in /etc/krb5.conf:
2398 default_keytab_name = FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab
2399 o Support for maintaining individual printer names
2400 stored separately from the printer's sharename.
2401 o Support for maintaining user password history.
2402 o Support for honoring the logon times for user in a
2406 ============================================
2407 unix extensions = yes (default) and symlinks
2408 ============================================
2410 Beginning with Samba 3.0.6pre1 (formerly known as 3.0.5pre1),
2411 clients supporting the UNIX extensions to the CIFS protocol
2412 can create symlinks to absolute paths which will be **followed**
2413 by the server. This functionality has been requested in order
2414 to correctly support certain applications when the user's home
2415 directory is mounted using some type of CIFS client (e.g. the
2416 cifsvfs in the Linux 2.6 kernel).
2418 If this behavior is not acceptable for your production environment
2419 you can set 'wide links = no' in the specific share declaration in
2420 the server's smb.conf. Be aware that disabling wide link support
2421 out of a share in Samba may impact the server's performance due
2422 to the fact that smbd will now have to check each path additional
2423 times before traversing it.
2426 ========================
2427 Password History Support
2428 ========================
2430 The new password history feature allows smbd to check the new
2431 password in password change requests against a list of the user's
2432 previous passwords. The number of previous passwords to save can
2433 be set using pdbedit (4 in this example):
2435 root# pdbedit -P "password history" -C 4
2437 When using the ldapsam passdb backend, it is vital to secure the
2438 following attributes from access by non-administrative users:
2442 * sambaPasswordHistory
2444 You should refer to your directory server's documentation on how
2445 to implement this restriction.

2861 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.5
2863 =============================
2865 Please note that Samba 3.0.5 is identical to Samba 3.0.4 with
2866 the exception of correcting the two security issues outlined
2869 ######################## SECURITY RELEASE ########################
2871 Summary: Multiple Potential Buffer Overruns in Samba 3.0.x
2872 CVE ID: CAN-2004-0600, CAN-2004-0686
2873 (http://cve.mitre.org/)
2876 This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version
2877 that production Samba servers should be running for all current
2880 It has been confirmed that versions of Samba 3 prior to v3.0.4
2881 are vulnerable to two potential buffer overruns. The individual
2882 details are given below.
2888 Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.2 and later
2890 The internal routine used by the Samba Web Administration
2891 Tool (SWAT v3.0.2 and later) to decode the base64 data
2892 during HTTP basic authentication is subject to a buffer
2893 overrun caused by an invalid base64 character. It is
2894 recommended that all Samba v3.0.2 or later installations
2895 running SWAT either (a) upgrade to v3.0.5, or (b) disable
2896 the swat administration service as a temporary workaround.
2898 This same code is used internally to decode the
2899 sambaMungedDial attribute value when using the ldapsam
2900 passdb backend. While we do not believe that the base64
2901 decoding routines used by the ldapsam passdb backend can
2902 be exploited, sites using an LDAP directory service with
2903 Samba are strongly encouraged to verify that the DIT only
2904 allows write access to sambaSamAccount attributes by a
2905 sufficiently authorized user.
2907 The Samba Team would like to heartily thank Evgeny Demidov
2908 for analyzing and reporting this bug.
2914 Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.0 and later
2916 A buffer overrun has been located in the code used to support
2917 the 'mangling method = hash' smb.conf option. Please be aware
2918 that the default setting for this parameter is 'mangling method
2919 = hash2' and therefore not vulnerable.
2921 Affected Samba 3 installations can avoid this possible security
2922 bug by using the default hash2 mangling method. Server
2923 installations requiring the hash mangling method are encouraged
2924 to upgrade to Samba 3.0.5.

3497 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2a
3499 ==============================
3501 Samba 3.0.2a is a minor patch release for the 3.0.2 code base
3502 to address, in particular, a problem when using pdbedit to
3503 sanitize (--force-initialized-passwords) Samba's tdbsam
3504 backend. This is the latest stable release of Samba. This
3505 is the version that all production Samba servers should be
3506 running for all current bug-fixes.
3508 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
3510 Beginning with Samba 3.0.2, passwords for accounts with a last
3511 change time (LCT-XXX in smbpasswd, sambaPwdLastSet attribute in
3512 ldapsam, etc...) of zero (0) will be regarded as uninitialized
3513 strings. This will cause authentication to fail for such
3514 accounts. If you have valid passwords that meet this criteria,
3515 you must update the last change time to a non-zero value. If you
3516 do not, then 'pdbedit --force-initialized-passwords' will disable
3517 these accounts and reset the password hashes to a string of X's.
3519 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
3528 Please refer to the CVS log for the SAMBA_3_0 branch for complete
3529 details. The list of changes per contributor are as follows:
3532 o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
3533 * Added paranoia checks in parsing code.
3536 o Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org>
3537 * Ensure that changes to uninitialized passwords in ldapsam
3538 are written to the DIT.
3541 o Gerald (Jerry) Carter <jerry@samba.org>
3542 * Fixed iterator in tdbsam.
3543 * Fix bug that disabled accounts with a valid NT password
3544 hash, but no LanMan hash.
3547 o Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
3548 * Added missing nosetuid and noexec options.
3551 o Bostjan Golob <golob@gimb.org>
3552 * BUG 1046: Don't overwrite usernames of entries returned

3570 =============================
3571 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2
3573 =============================
3575 It has been confirmed that previous versions of Samba 3.0 are
3576 susceptible to a password initialization bug that could grant an
3577 attacker unauthorized access to a user account created by the
3578 mksmbpasswd.sh shell script.
3580 The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
3581 has assigned the name CAN-2004-0082 to this issue.
3583 Samba administrators not wishing to upgrade to the current
3584 version should download the 3.0.2 release, build the pdbedit
3587 root# pdbedit-3.0.2 --force-initialized-passwords
3589 This will disable all accounts not possessing a valid password
3590 (e.g. the password field has been set a string of X's).
3592 Samba servers running 3.0.2 are not vulnerable to this bug
3593 regardless of whether or not pdbedit has been used to sanitize
3596 Some of the more visible bugs in 3.0.1 addressed in the 3.0.2
3599 o Joining a Samba domain from Pre-SP2 Windows 2000 clients.
3600 o Logging onto a Samba domain from Windows XP clients.
3601 o Problems with the %U and %u smb.conf variables in relation to
3602 Windows 9x/ME clients.
3603 o Kerberos failures due to an invalid in memory keytab detection
3605 o Updates to the ntlm_auth tool.
3606 o Fixes for various SMB signing errors.
3607 o Better separation of WINS and DNS queries for domain controllers.
3608 o Issues with nss_winbind FreeBSD and Solaris.
3609 o Several crash bugs in smbd and winbindd.
3610 o Output formatting fixes for smbclient for better compatibility
3611 with scripts based on the 2.2 version.

4052 o Remove code in idmap_ldap that searches the user suffix and group
4053 suffix. It's not needed and provides inconsistent functionality
4054 from the tdb backend.
4055 o Patch to handle munged dial string for Windows 2000 TSE.
4056 Thanks to Gaz de France, Direction de la Recherche, Service
4057 Informatique Métier for their supporting this work by Aurelien

4079 o Make sure we only enumerate group mapping entries (not
4080 /etc/group) even when doing local aliases.
4081 o Relax check on the pipe name in a dce/rpc bind response to work
4082 around issues with establishing trusts to a Windows 2003 domain.
4083 o Ensure we mangle names ending in '.' in hash2 mangling method.
4084 o Correct parsing issues with munged dial string.
4085 o Fix bugs in quota support for XFS.
4086 o Add a cleaner method for applications that need to provide

4088 know the winbindd pipe protocol.
4089 o Adds a variant of the winbindd_getgroups() call called
4090 winbindd_getusersids() that provides direct SID->SIDs listing of
4091 a users supplementary groups. This is enough to allow non-Samba
4092 applications to do ACL checking.

4181 ######################################################################
4183 The original 3.0.0 release notes follow
4184 =======================================
4185 WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.0
4187 =======================================
4193 1) Active Directory support. Samba 3.0 is now able to
4194 join a ADS realm as a member server and authenticate
4195 users using LDAP/Kerberos.
4197 2) Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate UNICODE on the wire
4198 and internally there is now a much better infrastructure for
4199 multi-byte and UNICODE character sets.
4201 3) New authentication system. The internal authentication system
4202 has been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are
4203 internal, but the new auth system is also very configurable.
4205 4) New default filename mangling system.
4207 5) A new "net" command has been added. It is somewhat similar to
4208 the "net" command in windows. Eventually we plan to replace
4209 numerous other utilities (such as smbpasswd) with subcommands
4212 6) Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
4213 improves error handling a lot.
4215 7) Better Windows 2000/XP/2003 printing support including publishing
4216 printer attributes in active directory.
4218 8) New loadable module support for passdb backends and character
4221 9) New default dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance.
4223 10) Support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Samba
4224 domain and maintaining user, group and domain SIDs.
4226 11) Support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
4229 12) Initial support for a distributed Winbind architecture using
4230 an LDAP directory for storing SID to uid/gid mappings.
4232 13) Major updates to the Samba documentation tree.
4234 14) Full support for client and server SMB signing to ensure
4235 compatibility with default Windows 2003 security settings.
4237 15) Improvement of ACL mapping features based on code donated by
4238 Andreas Grünbacher.
4241 Plus lots of other improvements!
4244 Additional Documentation
4245 ------------------------
4247 Please refer to Samba documentation tree (included in the docs/
4248 subdirectory) for extensive explanations of installing, configuring
4249 and maintaining Samba 3.0 servers and clients. It is advised to
4250 begin with the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for overviews and specific
4251 tasks (the current book is up to approximately 400 pages) and to
4252 refer to the various man pages for information on individual options.
4254 We are very glad to be able to include the second edition of
4255 "Using Samba" by Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown
4256 (O'Reilly & Associates) in this release. The book is available
4257 on-line at http://samba.org/samba/docs/ and is included with
4258 the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). Thanks to the authors and
4259 publisher for making "Using Samba" under the GNU Free Documentation
4263 ######################################################################
4264 Upgrading from a previous Samba 3.0 beta
4265 ########################################
4267 Beginning with Samba 3.0.0beta3, the RID allocation functions
4268 have been moved into winbindd. Previously these were handled
4269 by each passdb backend. This means that winbindd must be running
4270 to automatically allocate RIDs for users and/or groups. Otherwise,
4271 smbd will use the 2.2 algorithm for generating new RIDs.
4273 If you are using 'passdb backend = tdbsam' with a previous Samba
4274 3.0 beta release (or possibly alpha), it may be necessary to
4275 move the RID_COUNTER entry from /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
4276 to winbindd_idmap.tdb. To do this:
4278 1) Ensure that winbindd_idmap.tdb exists (launch winbindd at least
4280 2) build tdbtool by executing 'make tdbtool' in the source/tdb/
4282 3) run: (note that 'tdb>' is the tool's prompt for input)
4284 root# ./tdbtool /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
4285 tdb> show RID_COUNTER
4289 [000] 0A 52 00 00 .R.
4291 tdb> move RID_COUNTER /usr/local/samba/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb
4295 If you are using 'passdb backend = ldapsam', it will be necessary to
4296 store idmap entries in the LDAP directory as well (i.e. idmap backend
4297 = ldap). Refer to the 'net idmap' command for more information on
4298 migrating SID<->UNIX id mappings from one backend to another.
4300 If the RID_COUNTER record does not exist, then these instructions are
4301 unneccessary and the new RID_COUNTER record will be correctly generated

4481 This section contains brief descriptions of any new databases
4482 introduced in Samba 3.0. Please remember to backup your existing
4483 ${lock directory}/*tdb before upgrading to Samba 3.0. Samba will
4484 upgrade databases as they are opened (if necessary), but downgrading
4485 from 3.0 to 2.2 is an unsupported path.

4510 The following issues are known changes in behavior between Samba 2.2 and
4511 Samba 3.0 that may affect certain installations of Samba.
4513 1) When operating as a member of a Windows domain, Samba 2.2 would
4514 map any users authenticated by the remote DC to the 'guest account'
4515 if a uid could not be obtained via the getpwnam() call. Samba 3.0
4516 rejects the connection as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. There is no
4517 current work around to re-establish the 2.2 behavior.
4519 2) When adding machines to a Samba 2.2 controlled domain, the
4520 'add user script' was used to create the UNIX identity of the
4521 machine trust account. Samba 3.0 introduces a new 'add machine
4522 script' that must be specified for this purpose. Samba 3.0 will
4523 not fall back to using the 'add user script' in the absence of
4524 an 'add machine script'
4527 ######################################################################
4528 Passdb Backends and Authentication
4529 ##################################
4531 There have been a few new changes that Samba administrators should be
4532 aware of when moving to Samba 3.0.
4534 1) encrypted passwords have been enabled by default in order to
4535 inter-operate better with out-of-the-box Windows client
4536 installations. This does mean that either (a) a samba account
4537 must be created for each user, or (b) 'encrypt passwords = no'
4538 must be explicitly defined in smb.conf.
4540 2) Inclusion of new 'security = ads' option for integration
4541 with an Active Directory domain using the native Windows
4542 Kerberos 5 and LDAP protocols.
4544 MIT kerberos 1.3.1 supports the ARCFOUR-HMAC-MD5 encryption
4545 type which is neccessary for servers on which the
4546 administrator password has not been changed, or kerberos-enabled
4547 SMB connections to servers that require Kerberos SMB signing.
4548 Besides this one difference, either MIT or Heimdal Kerberos
4549 distributions are usable by Samba 3.0.
4552 Samba 3.0 also includes the possibility of setting up chains
4553 of authentication methods (auth methods) and account storage
4554 backends (passdb backend). Please refer to the smb.conf(5)
4555 man page for details. While both parameters assume sane default
4556 values, it is likely that you will need to understand what the
4557 values actually mean in order to ensure Samba operates correctly.
4559 The recommended passdb backends at this time are
4561 * smbpasswd - 2.2 compatible flat file format
4562 * tdbsam - attribute rich database intended as an smbpasswd
4563 replacement for stand alone servers
4564 * ldapsam - attribute rich account storage and retrieval
4565 backend utilizing an LDAP directory.
4566 * ldapsam_compat - a 2.2 backward compatible LDAP account
4569 Certain functions of the smbpasswd(8) tool have been split between the
4570 new smbpasswd(8) utility, the net(8) tool, and the new pdbedit(8)
4571 utility. See the respective man pages for details.
4574 ######################################################################
4578 This section outlines the new features affecting Samba / LDAP
4584 A new object class (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace
4585 the old sambaAccount. This change aids us in the renaming of
4586 attributes to prevent clashes with attributes from other vendors.
4587 There is a conversion script (examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to
4588 modify and LDIF file to the new schema.
4592 $ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." > sambaAcct.ldif
4593 $ convertSambaAccount --sid=<Domain SID> \
4594 --input=sambaAcct.ldif --output=sambaSamAcct.ldif \
4595 --changetype=[modify|add]
4597 The <DOM SID> can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid
4598 <DOMAINNAME>' on the Samba PDC as root. The changetype determines
4599 the format of the generated LDIF output--either create new entries
4600 or modify existing entries.
4602 The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
4603 "ldapsam_compat" passdb backend. However, the sambaAccount and
4604 associated attributes have been moved to the historical section of
4605 the schema file and must be uncommented before use if needed.
4606 The 2.2 object class declaration for a sambaAccount has not changed
4607 in the 3.0 samba.schema file.
4609 Other new object classes and their uses include:
4611 * sambaDomain - domain information used to allocate rids
4612 for users and groups as necessary. The attributes are added
4613 in 'ldap suffix' directory entry automatically if
4614 an idmap uid/gid range has been set and the 'ldapsam'
4615 passdb backend has been selected.
4617 * sambaGroupMapping - an object representing the
4618 relationship between a posixGroup and a Windows
4619 group/SID. These entries are stored in the 'ldap
4620 group suffix' and managed by the 'net groupmap' command.
4622 * sambaUnixIdPool - created in the 'ldap idmap suffix' entry
4623 automatically and contains the next available 'idmap uid' and
4626 * sambaIdmapEntry - object storing a mapping between a
4627 SID and a UNIX uid/gid. These objects are created by the
4628 idmap_ldap module as needed.
4630 * sambaSidEntry - object representing a SID alone, as a Structural
4631 class on which to build the sambaIdmapEntry.
4634 New Suffix for Searching
4635 ------------------------
4637 The following new smb.conf parameters have been added to aid in directing
4638 certain LDAP queries when 'passdb backend = ldapsam://...' has been
4641 * ldap suffix - used to search for user and computer accounts
4642 * ldap user suffix - used to store user accounts
4643 * ldap machine suffix - used to store machine trust accounts
4644 * ldap group suffix - location of posixGroup/sambaGroupMapping entries
4645 * ldap idmap suffix - location of sambaIdmapEntry objects
4647 If an 'ldap suffix' is defined, it will be appended to all of the
4648 remaining sub-suffix parameters. In this case, the order of the suffix
4649 listings in smb.conf is important. Always place the 'ldap suffix' first
4652 Due to a limitation in Samba's smb.conf parsing, you should not surround
4653 the DN's with quotation marks.
4659 Samba 3.0 supports an ldap backend for the idmap subsystem. The
4660 following options would inform Samba that the idmap table should be
4661 stored on the directory server onterose in the "ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,
4666 idmap backend = ldap:ldap://onterose/
4667 ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,dc=org
4668 idmap uid = 40000-50000
4669 idmap gid = 40000-50000
4671 This configuration allows winbind installations on multiple servers to
4672 share a uid/gid number space, thus avoiding the interoperability problems
4673 with NFS that were present in Samba 2.2.
4677 ######################################################################
4678 Trust Relationships and a Samba Domain
4679 ######################################
4681 Samba 3.0.0beta2 is able to utilize winbindd as the means of
4682 allocating uids and gids to trusted users and groups. More
4683 information regarding Samba's support for establishing trust
4684 relationships can be found in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection included
4685 in the docs/ directory of this release.
4687 First create your Samba PDC and ensure that everything is
4688 working correctly before moving on the trusts.
4690 To establish Samba as the trusting domain (named SAMBA) from a Windows NT
4691 4.0 domain named WINDOWS:
4693 1) create the trust account for SAMBA in "User Manager for Domains"
4694 2) connect the trust from the Samba domain using
4695 'net rpc trustdom establish GLASS'
4697 To create a trustlationship with SAMBA as the trusted domain:
4699 1) create the initial trust account for GLASS using
4700 'smbpasswd -a -i GLASS'. You may need to create a UNIX
4701 account for GLASS$ prior to this step (depending on your
4702 local configuration).
4703 2) connect the trust from a WINDOWS DC using "User Manager
4706 Now join winbindd on the Samba PDC to the SAMBA domain using
4707 the normal steps for adding a Samba server to an NT4 domain:
4708 (note that smbd & nmbd must be running at this point)
4710 root# net rpc join -U root
4711 Password: <enter root password from smbpasswd file here>
4713 Start winbindd and test the join with 'wbinfo -t'.
4715 Now test the trust relationship by connecting to the SAMBA DC
4716 (e.g. POGO) as a user from the WINDOWS domain:
4718 $ smbclient //pogo/netlogon -U Administrator -W WINDOWS
4721 Now connect to the WINDOWS DC (e.g. CRYSTAL) as a Samba user:
4723 $ smbclient //crystal/netlogon -U root -W WINDOWS
4726 ######################################################################
4730 Beginning with Samba3.0.0beta3, winbindd has been given new account
4731 manage functionality equivalent to the 'add user script' family of
4732 smb.conf parameters. The idmap design has also been changed to
4733 centralize control of foreign SID lookups and matching to UNIX
4737 Brief Description of Changes
4738 ----------------------------
4740 1) The sid_to_uid() family of functions (smbd/uid.c) have been
4741 reverted to the 2.2.x design. This means that when resolving a
4742 SID to a UID or similar mapping:
4744 a) First consult winbindd
4745 b) perform a local lookup only if winbindd fails to
4746 return a successful answer
4748 There are some variations to this, but these two rules generally
4751 2) All idmap lookups have been moved into winbindd. This means that
4752 a server must run winbindd (and support NSS) in order to achieve
4753 any mappings of SID to dynamically allocated UNIX ids. This was
4754 a conscious design choice.
4756 3) (OBSOLETE) New functions have been added to winbindd to emulate
4757 the 'add user script' family of smbd functions without requiring
4758 that external scripts be defined. This functionality is controlled
4759 by the 'winbind enable local accounts' smb.conf parameter (enabled
4762 However, this account management functionality is only supported
4763 in a local tdb (winbindd_idmap.tdb). If these new UNIX accounts
4764 must be shared among multiple Samba servers (such as a PDC and BDCs),
4765 it will be necessary to define your own 'add user script', et. al.
4766 programs that place the accounts/groups in some form of directory
4767 such as NIS or LDAP. This requirement was deemed beyond the scope
4768 of winbind's account management functions. Solutions for
4769 distributing UNIX system information have been deployed and tested
4770 for many years. We saw no need to reinvent the wheel.
4772 4) A member of a Samba controlled domain running winbindd is now able
4773 to map domain users directly onto existing UNIX accounts while still
4774 automatically creating accounts for trusted users and groups. This
4775 behavior is controlled by the 'winbind trusted domains only' smb.conf
4776 parameter (disabled by default to provide 2.2.x winbind behavior).
4778 5) Group mapping support is wrapped in the local_XX_to_XX() functions
4779 in smbd/uid.c. The reason that group mappings are not included
4780 in winbindd is because the purpose of Samba's group map is to
4781 match any Windows SID with an existing UNIX group. These UNIX
4782 groups can be created by winbindd (see next section), but the
4783 SID<->gid mapping is retreived by smbd, not winbindd.
4789 * security = server running winbindd to allocate accounts on demand
4791 * Samba PDC running winbindd to handle the automatic creation of UNIX
4792 identities for machine trust accounts
4794 * Automtically creating UNIX user and groups when migrating a Windows NT
4795 4.0 PDC to a Samba PDC. Winbindd must be running when executing
4796 'net rpc vampire' for this to work.
