Major enhancements in Samba 3.3.0 include: -o + Conifguration/installation: + o Splitting of library directory into library directory and separate + modules directory. + + File Serving: + o Extended Cluster support. + + Winbind: + o Simplyfied idmap configuration. + + Administrative tools: + o New 'net rpc vampire keytab' command. + + +Winbind idmap backend changes +============================= + +The idmap configuration has changed with version 3.3 to something that +allows a smoother upgrade path from pre-3.0.25 configurations that use +"idmap backend". The reason for this change is that to many, also to Samba +developers, the 3.0.25 style configuration with "idmap config" turned out +to be very complex. Version 3.3 no longer deprecates the "idmap backend" +parameter, instead with "idmap backend" the default idmap backend is +specified. + +Accordingly, the "idmap config : default = yes" setting is no +longer being looked at. As another simplification, there can be only one +allocating backend. + +The alloc backend defaults to the default backend, which should be able to +allocate IDs. In the default distribution the tdb and ldap backends can +allocate, the ad and rid backends can not. The idmap alloc range is now +being set with the "old" parameters "idmap uid" and "idmap gid". + + + +###################################################################### +Changes +####### + +smb.conf changes +---------------- + ###################################################################### -- 2.11.4.GIT
