2 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.3rc1
3 April 20, 2004
4 ================================
6 This is a release candidate snapshot of the Samba 3.0.3 code
7 base and should be considered for testing only. A release
8 candidate (RC) means that we are close to the final, stable
9 release and in provided for Quality Assurance (QA) purposes.
10 This release is *not* intended for production servers. Use
11 at your own risk.
13 There have been several bug fixes since the 3.0.2a release that
14 we feel are important to make available to the Samba community
15 for wider testings. See the "Changes" section for details on
16 exact updates.
18 Common bugs fixed in this RC include:
20 o Delays in winbindd startup caused by unnecessary
21 connections to trusted domain controllers.
22 o Various small memory leaks.
23 o Winbindd failing due to expired Kerberos tickets.
25 New features introduced in this preview release include:
27 o Support for local nested groups via winbindd.
28 o Specifying options to be passed directly to
29 the CUPS libraries.

594 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2a
595 February 13, 2004
596 ==============================
598 Samba 3.0.2a is a minor patch release for the 3.0.2 code base
599 to address, in particular, a problem when using pdbedit to
600 sanitize (--force-initialized-passwords) Samba's tdbsam
601 backend. This is the latest stable release of Samba. This
602 is the version that all production Samba servers should be
603 running for all current bug-fixes.
605 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
607 Beginning with Samba 3.0.2, passwords for accounts with a last
608 change time (LCT-XXX in smbpasswd, sambaPwdLastSet attribute in
609 ldapsam, etc...) of zero (0) will be regarded as uninitialized
610 strings. This will cause authentication to fail for such
611 accounts. If you have valid passwords that meet this criteria,
612 you must update the last change time to a non-zero value. If you
613 do not, then 'pdbedit --force-initialized-passwords' will disable
614 these accounts and reset the password hashes to a string of X's.

668 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2
669 February 9, 2004
670 =============================
672 It has been confirmed that previous versions of Samba 3.0 are
673 susceptible to a password initialization bug that could grant an
674 attacker unauthorized access to a user account created by the
675 mksmbpasswd.sh shell script.
677 The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
678 has assigned the name CAN-2004-0082 to this issue.
680 Samba administrators not wishing to upgrade to the current
681 version should download the 3.0.2 release, build the pdbedit
682 tool, and run
684 root# pdbedit-3.0.2 --force-initialized-passwords
686 This will disable all accounts not possessing a valid password
687 (e.g. the password field has been set a string of X's).
689 Samba servers running 3.0.2 are not vulnerable to this bug
690 regardless of whether or not pdbedit has been used to sanitize
691 the passdb backend.
693 Some of the more visible bugs in 3.0.1 addressed in the 3.0.2
694 release include:
696 o Joining a Samba domain from Pre-SP2 Windows 2000 clients.
697 o Logging onto a Samba domain from Windows XP clients.
698 o Problems with the %U and %u smb.conf variables in relation to
699 Windows 9x/ME clients.
700 o Kerberos failures due to an invalid in memory keytab detection
701 test.
702 o Updates to the ntlm_auth tool.
703 o Fixes for various SMB signing errors.
704 o Better separation of WINS and DNS queries for domain controllers.
705 o Issues with nss_winbind FreeBSD and Solaris.
706 o Several crash bugs in smbd and winbindd.
707 o Output formatting fixes for smbclient for better compatibility
708 with scripts based on the 2.2 version.

1145 o Add support for the %i macro in smb.conf to stand in for the for
1146 the local IP address to which a client connected.
1147 o Allow winbindd to match local accounts to domain SID when
1148 'winbind trusted domains only = yes' (bug 680).
1149 o Remove code in idmap_ldap that searches the user suffix and group
1150 suffix. It's not needed and provides inconsistent functionality
1151 from the tdb backend.
1152 o Patch to handle munged dial string for Windows 2000 TSE.
1153 Thanks to Gaz de France, Direction de la Recherche, Service
1154 Informatique Métier for their supporting this work by Aurelien

1184 name->SID mappings to do this via NSS rather than having to
1185 know the winbindd pipe protocol.
1186 o Adds a variant of the winbindd_getgroups() call called
1187 winbindd_getusersids() that provides direct SID->SIDs listing of
1188 a users supplementary groups. This is enough to allow non-Samba
1189 applications to do ACL checking.
1190 o Make sure we don't append the 'ldap suffix' when writing out the
1191 'ldap XXX suffix' values in SWAT (bug 328).
1192 o Fix renames across file systems.
1193 o Ensure that items in a list of strings containing whitespace are
1194 written out surrounded by single quotes. This means that both
1195 double and single quotes are now used to surround strings in
1196 smb.conf (bug 481).
1197 o Enable SWAT to correctly determine if winbindd is running (bug
1198 398).
1199 o Include WWW-Authenticate field in 401 response for bad auth
1200 attempt (bug 629).
1201 o Add support for NTLM2 (NTLMv2 session security).
1202 o Add support for variable-length session keys.
1203 o More privilege fixes for group enumeration in LDAP (bug 281).
1204 o Use the dns name (or IP) as the originating client name when
1205 using CUPS (bug 467).
1206 o Fix various SMB signing bugs.
1207 o Fix ACL propagation on a DFS root (bug 263).
1208 o Disable NTLM2 for RPC pipes.
1209 o Allow the client to specify the NTLM2 flags got NTLMSSP
1210 authentication.
1211 o Change the name of the job passed off to cups from "Test Page"
1212 to "smbprn.00000033 Test Page" so that we can get the smb
1213 jobid back. This allow users to delete jobs with cups printing
1214 backend (partial work on bug 770).
1215 o Fix build of winbindd with static pdb modules.
1216 o Retrieve the correct ACL group bits if the file has an ACL
1217 (bug 802).
1218 o Implement "net rpc group members": Get members of a domain group
1219 in human-readable format.
1220 o Add MacOSX (Darwin) specific charset module code.
1221 o Use samr_dispinfo(level == 1) for enumerating domain users so we
1222 can include the full name in gecos field (bug 587).
1223 o Add support for winbind's NSS library on FeeeBSD 5.1 (bug 797).
1224 o Implement 'net rpc group list [global|local|builtin]*' for a
1225 select listing of the respective user databases.
1226 o Don't automatically set NT status code flag unless client tells
1227 us it can cope.
1228 o Add 'net status [sessions|shares] [parseable]'.
1229 o Don't mistake pre-existing UNIX jobs for smb jobs (remainder of
1230 bug 770).
1231 o Add 'Replicator' and 'RAS Servers' to list of builtin SIDs
1232 (bug 608).
1233 o Fix inverted logic in hosts allow/deny checks caused by
1234 s/strcmp/strequal/ (bug 846).
1235 o Implement correct version SamrRemoveSidForeignDomain() (bug 252).
1236 o Fix typo in 'hash' mangling algorithm.
1237 o Support munged dial for ldapsam (bug 800).
1238 o Fix process_incoming_data() to return the number of bytes handled
1239 this call whether we have a complete PDU or not; fixes bug
1240 with multiple PDU request rpc's broken over SMBwriteX calls
1241 each.
1242 o Fix incorrect smb flags2 for connections to pre-NT servers
1243 (causes smbclient to fail to OS2 for example) (bug 821).
1244 o Update version string in smbldap-tools Makefile to 0.8.2.
1245 o Correct a problem with "net rpc vampire" mis-parsing the
1246 alias member info reply.
1247 o Ensure the ${libdir} is created by the installclientlib script.
1248 o Fix detection of Windows 2003 client architecture in the smb.conf
1249 %a variable.
1250 o Ensure that smbd calls the add user script for a missing UNIX
1251 user on kerberos auth call (bug 445).
1252 o Fix bugs in hosts allow/deny when using a mismatched
1253 network/netmask pair.
1254 o Protect alloc_sub_basic() from crashing when the source string
1255 is NULL (partial work on bug 687).
1256 o Fix spinlocks on IRIX.
1257 o Corrected some bad destination paths when running "configure
1258 --with-fhs".
1259 o Add packaging files for Fedora Core 1.
1260 o Correct bug in SWAT install script for non-english languages.
1261 o Support character set ISO-8859-1 internally (bug 558).
1262 o Fixed more LDAP access errors when looking up group mappings
1263 (bug 281).
1264 o Fix UNISTR2 length bug in LsaQueryInfo(3) that caused SID
1265 resolution to fail on local files on on domain members
1266 (bug 875).
1267 o Fix uninitialized variable in passdb.c.
1268 o Fix formal parameter type in get_static() in nsswitch/wins.c.
1269 o Fix problem mounting directories when mount.cifs is installed
1270 with the setuid bit on.
1271 o Fix bug that prevent --mandir from overriding the defaults
1272 given in the --with-fhs macro.
1273 o Fix bug in in-memory Kerberos keytab detection routines
1274 in configure.in

1280 The original 3.0.0 release notes follow
1281 =======================================
1282 WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.0
1283 September 24, 2003
1284 =======================================
1287 Major new features:
1288 -------------------
1290 1) Active Directory support. Samba 3.0 is now able to
1291 join a ADS realm as a member server and authenticate
1292 users using LDAP/Kerberos.
1294 2) Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate UNICODE on the wire
1295 and internally there is now a much better infrastructure for
1296 multi-byte and UNICODE character sets.
1298 3) New authentication system. The internal authentication system
1299 has been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are
1300 internal, but the new auth system is also very configurable.
1302 4) New default filename mangling system.
1304 5) A new "net" command has been added. It is somewhat similar to
1305 the "net" command in windows. Eventually we plan to replace
1306 numerous other utilities (such as smbpasswd) with subcommands
1307 in "net".
1309 6) Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
1310 improves error handling a lot.
1312 7) Better Windows 2000/XP/2003 printing support including publishing
1313 printer attributes in active directory.
1315 8) New loadable module support for passdb backends and character
1316 sets.
1318 9) New default dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance.
1320 10) Support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Samba
1321 domain and maintaining user, group and domain SIDs.
1323 11) Support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
1324 domain controllers.
1326 12) Initial support for a distributed Winbind architecture using
1327 an LDAP directory for storing SID to uid/gid mappings.
1329 13) Major updates to the Samba documentation tree.
1331 14) Full support for client and server SMB signing to ensure
1332 compatibility with default Windows 2003 security settings.
1334 15) Improvement of ACL mapping features based on code donated by
1335 Andreas Grünbacher.
1338 Plus lots of other improvements!
1341 Additional Documentation
1342 ------------------------
1344 Please refer to Samba documentation tree (included in the docs/
1345 subdirectory) for extensive explanations of installing, configuring
1346 and maintaining Samba 3.0 servers and clients. It is advised to
1347 begin with the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for overviews and specific
1348 tasks (the current book is up to approximately 400 pages) and to
1349 refer to the various man pages for information on individual options.
1351 We are very glad to be able to include the second edition of
1352 "Using Samba" by Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown
1353 (O'Reilly & Associates) in this release. The book is available
1354 on-line at http://samba.org/samba/docs/ and is included with
1355 the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). Thanks to the authors and
1356 publisher for making "Using Samba" under the GNU Free Documentation
1357 License.
1360 ######################################################################
1361 Upgrading from a previous Samba 3.0 beta
1362 ########################################
1364 Beginning with Samba 3.0.0beta3, the RID allocation functions
1365 have been moved into winbindd. Previously these were handled
1366 by each passdb backend. This means that winbindd must be running
1367 to automatically allocate RIDs for users and/or groups. Otherwise,
1368 smbd will use the 2.2 algorithm for generating new RIDs.
1370 If you are using 'passdb backend = tdbsam' with a previous Samba
1371 3.0 beta release (or possibly alpha), it may be necessary to
1372 move the RID_COUNTER entry from /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
1373 to winbindd_idmap.tdb. To do this:
1375 1) Ensure that winbindd_idmap.tdb exists (launch winbindd at least
1376 once)
1377 2) build tdbtool by executing 'make tdbtool' in the source/tdb/
1378 directory
1379 3) run: (note that 'tdb>' is the tool's prompt for input)
1381 root# ./tdbtool /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
1382 tdb> show RID_COUNTER
1383 key 12 bytes
1384 RID_COUNTER
1385 data 4 bytes
1386 [000] 0A 52 00 00 .R.
1388 tdb> move RID_COUNTER /usr/local/samba/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb
1389 ....
1390 record moved
1392 If you are using 'passdb backend = ldapsam', it will be necessary to
1393 store idmap entries in the LDAP directory as well (i.e. idmap backend
1394 = ldap). Refer to the 'net idmap' command for more information on
1395 migrating SID<->UNIX id mappings from one backend to another.
1397 If the RID_COUNTER record does not exist, then these instructions are
1398 unneccessary and the new RID_COUNTER record will be correctly generated
1399 if needed.

1581 upgrade databases as they are opened (if necessary), but downgrading
1582 from 3.0 to 2.2 is an unsupported path.
1584 Name Description Backup?
1585 ---- ----------- -------
1586 account_policy User policy settings yes
1587 gencache Generic caching db no
1588 group_mapping Mapping table from Windows yes
1589 groups/SID to unix groups
1590 winbindd_idmap ID map table from SIDS to UNIX yes
1591 uids/gids.
1592 namecache Name resolution cache entries no
1593 netsamlogon_cache Cache of NET_USER_INFO_3 structure no
1594 returned as part of a successful
1595 net_sam_logon request
1596 printing/*.tdb Cached output from 'lpq no
1597 command' created on a per print
1598 service basis
1599 registry Read-only samba registry skeleton no
1600 that provides support for exporting
1601 various db tables via the winreg RPCs
1604 Changes in Behavior
1605 -------------------
1607 The following issues are known changes in behavior between Samba 2.2 and
1608 Samba 3.0 that may affect certain installations of Samba.
1610 1) When operating as a member of a Windows domain, Samba 2.2 would
1611 map any users authenticated by the remote DC to the 'guest account'
1612 if a uid could not be obtained via the getpwnam() call. Samba 3.0
1613 rejects the connection as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. There is no
1614 current work around to re-establish the 2.2 behavior.
1616 2) When adding machines to a Samba 2.2 controlled domain, the
1617 'add user script' was used to create the UNIX identity of the
1618 machine trust account. Samba 3.0 introduces a new 'add machine
1619 script' that must be specified for this purpose. Samba 3.0 will
1620 not fall back to using the 'add user script' in the absence of
1621 an 'add machine script'
1624 ######################################################################
1625 Passdb Backends and Authentication
1626 ##################################
1628 There have been a few new changes that Samba administrators should be
1629 aware of when moving to Samba 3.0.
1631 1) encrypted passwords have been enabled by default in order to
1632 inter-operate better with out-of-the-box Windows client
1633 installations. This does mean that either (a) a samba account
1634 must be created for each user, or (b) 'encrypt passwords = no'
1635 must be explicitly defined in smb.conf.
1637 2) Inclusion of new 'security = ads' option for integration
1638 with an Active Directory domain using the native Windows
1639 Kerberos 5 and LDAP protocols.
1641 MIT kerberos 1.3.1 supports the ARCFOUR-HMAC-MD5 encryption
1642 type which is neccessary for servers on which the
1643 administrator password has not been changed, or kerberos-enabled
1644 SMB connections to servers that require Kerberos SMB signing.
1645 Besides this one difference, either MIT or Heimdal Kerberos
1646 distributions are usable by Samba 3.0.
1649 Samba 3.0 also includes the possibility of setting up chains
1650 of authentication methods (auth methods) and account storage
1651 backends (passdb backend). Please refer to the smb.conf(5)
1652 man page for details. While both parameters assume sane default
1653 values, it is likely that you will need to understand what the
1654 values actually mean in order to ensure Samba operates correctly.
1656 The recommended passdb backends at this time are
1658 * smbpasswd - 2.2 compatible flat file format
1659 * tdbsam - attribute rich database intended as an smbpasswd
1660 replacement for stand alone servers
1661 * ldapsam - attribute rich account storage and retrieval
1662 backend utilizing an LDAP directory.
1663 * ldapsam_compat - a 2.2 backward compatible LDAP account
1664 backend
1666 Certain functions of the smbpasswd(8) tool have been split between the
1667 new smbpasswd(8) utility, the net(8) tool, and the new pdbedit(8)
1668 utility. See the respective man pages for details.
1671 ######################################################################
1672 LDAP
1673 ####
1675 This section outlines the new features affecting Samba / LDAP
1676 integration.
1678 New Schema
1679 ----------
1681 A new object class (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace
1682 the old sambaAccount. This change aids us in the renaming of
1683 attributes to prevent clashes with attributes from other vendors.
1684 There is a conversion script (examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to
1685 modify and LDIF file to the new schema.
1687 Example:
1689 $ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." > sambaAcct.ldif
1690 $ convertSambaAccount --sid=<Domain SID> \
1691 --input=sambaAcct.ldif --output=sambaSamAcct.ldif \
1692 --changetype=[modify|add]
1694 The <DOM SID> can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid
1695 <DOMAINNAME>' on the Samba PDC as root. The changetype determines
1696 the format of the generated LDIF output--either create new entries
1697 or modify existing entries.
1699 The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
1700 "ldapsam_compat" passdb backend. However, the sambaAccount and
1701 associated attributes have been moved to the historical section of
1702 the schema file and must be uncommented before use if needed.
1703 The 2.2 object class declaration for a sambaAccount has not changed
1704 in the 3.0 samba.schema file.
1706 Other new object classes and their uses include:
1708 * sambaDomain - domain information used to allocate rids
1709 for users and groups as necessary. The attributes are added
1710 in 'ldap suffix' directory entry automatically if
1711 an idmap uid/gid range has been set and the 'ldapsam'
1712 passdb backend has been selected.
1714 * sambaGroupMapping - an object representing the
1715 relationship between a posixGroup and a Windows
1716 group/SID. These entries are stored in the 'ldap
1717 group suffix' and managed by the 'net groupmap' command.
1719 * sambaUnixIdPool - created in the 'ldap idmap suffix' entry
1720 automatically and contains the next available 'idmap uid' and
1721 'idmap gid'
1723 * sambaIdmapEntry - object storing a mapping between a
1724 SID and a UNIX uid/gid. These objects are created by the
1725 idmap_ldap module as needed.
1727 * sambaSidEntry - object representing a SID alone, as a Structural
1728 class on which to build the sambaIdmapEntry.
1731 New Suffix for Searching
1732 ------------------------
1734 The following new smb.conf parameters have been added to aid in directing
1735 certain LDAP queries when 'passdb backend = ldapsam://...' has been
1736 specified.
1738 * ldap suffix - used to search for user and computer accounts
1739 * ldap user suffix - used to store user accounts
1740 * ldap machine suffix - used to store machine trust accounts
1741 * ldap group suffix - location of posixGroup/sambaGroupMapping entries
1742 * ldap idmap suffix - location of sambaIdmapEntry objects
1744 If an 'ldap suffix' is defined, it will be appended to all of the
1745 remaining sub-suffix parameters. In this case, the order of the suffix
1746 listings in smb.conf is important. Always place the 'ldap suffix' first
1747 in the list.
1749 Due to a limitation in Samba's smb.conf parsing, you should not surround
1750 the DN's with quotation marks.
1753 IdMap LDAP support
1754 ------------------
1756 Samba 3.0 supports an ldap backend for the idmap subsystem. The
1757 following options would inform Samba that the idmap table should be
1758 stored on the directory server onterose in the "ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,
1759 dc=org" partition.
1761 [global]
1762 ...
1763 idmap backend = ldap:ldap://onterose/
1764 ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,dc=org
1765 idmap uid = 40000-50000
1766 idmap gid = 40000-50000
1768 This configuration allows winbind installations on multiple servers to
1769 share a uid/gid number space, thus avoiding the interoperability problems
1770 with NFS that were present in Samba 2.2.
1774 ######################################################################
1775 Trust Relationships and a Samba Domain
1776 ######################################
1778 Samba 3.0.0beta2 is able to utilize winbindd as the means of
1779 allocating uids and gids to trusted users and groups. More
1780 information regarding Samba's support for establishing trust
1781 relationships can be found in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection included
1782 in the docs/ directory of this release.
1784 First create your Samba PDC and ensure that everything is
1785 working correctly before moving on the trusts.
1787 To establish Samba as the trusting domain (named SAMBA) from a Windows NT
1788 4.0 domain named WINDOWS:
1790 1) create the trust account for SAMBA in "User Manager for Domains"
1791 2) connect the trust from the Samba domain using
1792 'net rpc trustdom establish GLASS'
1794 To create a trustlationship with SAMBA as the trusted domain:
1796 1) create the initial trust account for GLASS using
1797 'smbpasswd -a -i GLASS'. You may need to create a UNIX
1798 account for GLASS$ prior to this step (depending on your
1799 local configuration).
1800 2) connect the trust from a WINDOWS DC using "User Manager
1801 for Domains"
1803 Now join winbindd on the Samba PDC to the SAMBA domain using
1804 the normal steps for adding a Samba server to an NT4 domain:
1805 (note that smbd & nmbd must be running at this point)
1807 root# net rpc join -U root
1808 Password: <enter root password from smbpasswd file here>
1810 Start winbindd and test the join with 'wbinfo -t'.
1812 Now test the trust relationship by connecting to the SAMBA DC
1813 (e.g. POGO) as a user from the WINDOWS domain:
1815 $ smbclient //pogo/netlogon -U Administrator -W WINDOWS
1816 Password:
1818 Now connect to the WINDOWS DC (e.g. CRYSTAL) as a Samba user:
1820 $ smbclient //crystal/netlogon -U root -W WINDOWS
1821 Password:

1824 Changes in Winbind
1825 ##################
1827 Beginning with Samba3.0.0beta3, winbindd has been given new account
1828 manage functionality equivalent to the 'add user script' family of
1829 smb.conf parameters. The idmap design has also been changed to
1830 centralize control of foreign SID lookups and matching to UNIX
1831 uids and gids.
1834 Brief Description of Changes
1835 ----------------------------
1837 1) The sid_to_uid() family of functions (smbd/uid.c) have been
1838 reverted to the 2.2.x design. This means that when resolving a
1839 SID to a UID or similar mapping:
1841 a) First consult winbindd
1842 b) perform a local lookup only if winbindd fails to
1843 return a successful answer
1845 There are some variations to this, but these two rules generally
1846 apply.
1848 2) All idmap lookups have been moved into winbindd. This means that
1849 a server must run winbindd (and support NSS) in order to achieve
1850 any mappings of SID to dynamically allocated UNIX ids. This was
1851 a conscious design choice.
1853 3) New functions have been added to winbindd to emulate the 'add user
1854 script' family of smbd functions without requiring that external
1855 scripts be defined. This functionality is controlled by the 'winbind
1856 enable local accounts' smb.conf parameter (enabled by default).
1858 However, this account management functionality is only supported
1859 in a local tdb (winbindd_idmap.tdb). If these new UNIX accounts
1860 must be shared among multiple Samba servers (such as a PDC and BDCs),
1861 it will be necessary to define your own 'add user script', et. al.
1862 programs that place the accounts/groups in some form of directory
1863 such as NIS or LDAP. This requirement was deemed beyond the scope
1864 of winbind's account management functions. Solutions for
1865 distributing UNIX system information have been deployed and tested
1866 for many years. We saw no need to reinvent the wheel.
1868 4) A member of a Samba controlled domain running winbindd is now able
1869 to map domain users directly onto existing UNIX accounts while still
1870 automatically creating accounts for trusted users and groups. This
1871 behavior is controlled by the 'winbind trusted domains only' smb.conf
1872 parameter (disabled by default to provide 2.2.x winbind behavior).
1874 5) Group mapping support is wrapped in the local_XX_to_XX() functions
1875 in smbd/uid.c. The reason that group mappings are not included
1876 in winbindd is because the purpose of Samba's group map is to
1877 match any Windows SID with an existing UNIX group. These UNIX
1878 groups can be created by winbindd (see next section), but the
1879 SID<->gid mapping is retreived by smbd, not winbindd.
1882 Examples
1883 --------
1885 * security = server running winbindd to allocate accounts on demand
1887 * Samba PDC running winbindd to handle the automatic creation of UNIX
1888 identities for machine trust accounts
1890 * Automtically creating UNIX user and groups when migrating a Windows NT
1891 4.0 PDC to a Samba PDC. Winbindd must be running when executing
1892 'net rpc vampire' for this to work.
