122 =============================
123 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2
125 =============================
127 It has been confirmed that previous versions of Samba 3.0 are
128 susceptible to a password initialization bug that could grant an
129 attacker unauthorized access to a user account created by the
130 mksmbpasswd.sh shell script.
132 The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
133 has assigned the name CAN-2004-0082 to this issue.
135 Samba administrators not wishing to upgrade to the current
136 version should download the 3.0.2 release, build the pdbedit
139 root# pdbedit-3.0.2 --force-initialized-passwords
141 This will disable all accounts not possessing a valid password
142 (e.g. the password field has been set a string of X's).
144 Samba servers running 3.0.2 are not vulnerable to this bug
145 regardless of whether or not pdbedit has been used to sanitize
148 Some of the more visible bugs in 3.0.1 addressed in the 3.0.2
151 o Joining a Samba domain from Pre-SP2 Windows 2000 clients.
152 o Logging onto a Samba domain from Windows XP clients.
153 o Problems with the %U and %u smb.conf variables in relation to
154 Windows 9x/ME clients.
155 o Kerberos failures due to an invalid in memory keytab detection
157 o Updates to the ntlm_auth tool.
158 o Fixes for various SMB signing errors.
159 o Better separation of WINS and DNS queries for domain controllers.
160 o Issues with nss_winbind FreeBSD and Solaris.
161 o Several crash bugs in smbd and winbindd.
162 o Output formatting fixes for smbclient for better compatibility
163 with scripts based on the 2.2 version.

638 o Adds a variant of the winbindd_getgroups() call called
639 winbindd_getusersids() that provides direct SID->SIDs listing of
640 a users supplementary groups. This is enough to allow non-Samba
641 applications to do ACL checking.
642 o Make sure we don't append the 'ldap suffix' when writing out the
643 'ldap XXX suffix' values in SWAT (bug 328).

732 The original 3.0.0 release notes follow
733 =======================================
734 WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.0
736 =======================================
742 1) Active Directory support. Samba 3.0 is now able to
743 join a ADS realm as a member server and authenticate
744 users using LDAP/Kerberos.
746 2) Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate UNICODE on the wire
747 and internally there is now a much better infrastructure for
748 multi-byte and UNICODE character sets.
750 3) New authentication system. The internal authentication system
751 has been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are
752 internal, but the new auth system is also very configurable.
754 4) New default filename mangling system.
756 5) A new "net" command has been added. It is somewhat similar to
757 the "net" command in windows. Eventually we plan to replace
758 numerous other utilities (such as smbpasswd) with subcommands
761 6) Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
762 improves error handling a lot.
764 7) Better Windows 2000/XP/2003 printing support including publishing
765 printer attributes in active directory.
767 8) New loadable module support for passdb backends and character
770 9) New default dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance.
772 10) Support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Samba
773 domain and maintaining user, group and domain SIDs.
775 11) Support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
778 12) Initial support for a distributed Winbind architecture using
779 an LDAP directory for storing SID to uid/gid mappings.
781 13) Major updates to the Samba documentation tree.
783 14) Full support for client and server SMB signing to ensure
784 compatibility with default Windows 2003 security settings.
786 15) Improvement of ACL mapping features based on code donated by
790 Plus lots of other improvements!
793 Additional Documentation
794 ------------------------
796 Please refer to Samba documentation tree (included in the docs/
797 subdirectory) for extensive explanations of installing, configuring
798 and maintaining Samba 3.0 servers and clients. It is advised to
799 begin with the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for overviews and specific
800 tasks (the current book is up to approximately 400 pages) and to
801 refer to the various man pages for information on individual options.
803 We are very glad to be able to include the second edition of
804 "Using Samba" by Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown
805 (O'Reilly & Associates) in this release. The book is available
806 on-line at http://samba.org/samba/docs/ and is included with
807 the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). Thanks to the authors and
808 publisher for making "Using Samba" under the GNU Free Documentation
812 ######################################################################
813 Upgrading from a previous Samba 3.0 beta
814 ########################################
816 Beginning with Samba 3.0.0beta3, the RID allocation functions
817 have been moved into winbindd. Previously these were handled
818 by each passdb backend. This means that winbindd must be running
819 to automatically allocate RIDs for users and/or groups. Otherwise,
820 smbd will use the 2.2 algorithm for generating new RIDs.
822 If you are using 'passdb backend = tdbsam' with a previous Samba
823 3.0 beta release (or possibly alpha), it may be necessary to
824 move the RID_COUNTER entry from /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
825 to winbindd_idmap.tdb. To do this:
827 1) Ensure that winbindd_idmap.tdb exists (launch winbindd at least
829 2) build tdbtool by executing 'make tdbtool' in the source/tdb/
831 3) run: (note that 'tdb>' is the tool's prompt for input)
833 root# ./tdbtool /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
834 tdb> show RID_COUNTER
838 [000] 0A 52 00 00 .R.
840 tdb> move RID_COUNTER /usr/local/samba/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb
844 If you are using 'passdb backend = ldapsam', it will be necessary to
845 store idmap entries in the LDAP directory as well (i.e. idmap backend
846 = ldap). Refer to the 'net idmap' command for more information on
847 migrating SID<->UNIX id mappings from one backend to another.
849 If the RID_COUNTER record does not exist, then these instructions are
850 unneccessary and the new RID_COUNTER record will be correctly generated

856 Upgrading from Samba 2.2
857 ########################
859 This section is provided to help administrators understand the details
860 involved with upgrading a Samba 2.2 server to Samba 3.0.
866 Many of the options to the GNU autoconf script have been modified
867 in the 3.0 release. The most noticeable are:
869 * removal of --with-tdbsam (is now included by default; see section
870 on passdb backends and authentication for more details)

1030 This section contains brief descriptions of any new databases
1031 introduced in Samba 3.0. Please remember to backup your existing
1032 ${lock directory}/*tdb before upgrading to Samba 3.0. Samba will
1033 upgrade databases as they are opened (if necessary), but downgrading
1034 from 3.0 to 2.2 is an unsupported path.
1036 Name Description Backup?
1037 ---- ----------- -------
1038 account_policy User policy settings yes
1039 gencache Generic caching db no
1040 group_mapping Mapping table from Windows yes
1041 groups/SID to unix groups
1042 winbindd_idmap ID map table from SIDS to UNIX yes
1044 namecache Name resolution cache entries no
1045 netsamlogon_cache Cache of NET_USER_INFO_3 structure no
1046 returned as part of a successful
1047 net_sam_logon request
1048 printing/*.tdb Cached output from 'lpq no
1049 command' created on a per print
1051 registry Read-only samba registry skeleton no
1052 that provides support for exporting
1053 various db tables via the winreg RPCs
1059 The following issues are known changes in behavior between Samba 2.2 and
1060 Samba 3.0 that may affect certain installations of Samba.
1062 1) When operating as a member of a Windows domain, Samba 2.2 would
1063 map any users authenticated by the remote DC to the 'guest account'
1064 if a uid could not be obtained via the getpwnam() call. Samba 3.0
1065 rejects the connection as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. There is no
1066 current work around to re-establish the 2.2 behavior.
1068 2) When adding machines to a Samba 2.2 controlled domain, the
1069 'add user script' was used to create the UNIX identity of the
1070 machine trust account. Samba 3.0 introduces a new 'add machine
1071 script' that must be specified for this purpose. Samba 3.0 will
1072 not fall back to using the 'add user script' in the absence of
1073 an 'add machine script'
1076 ######################################################################
1077 Passdb Backends and Authentication
1078 ##################################
1080 There have been a few new changes that Samba administrators should be
1081 aware of when moving to Samba 3.0.
1083 1) encrypted passwords have been enabled by default in order to
1084 inter-operate better with out-of-the-box Windows client
1085 installations. This does mean that either (a) a samba account
1086 must be created for each user, or (b) 'encrypt passwords = no'
1087 must be explicitly defined in smb.conf.
1089 2) Inclusion of new 'security = ads' option for integration
1090 with an Active Directory domain using the native Windows
1091 Kerberos 5 and LDAP protocols.
1093 MIT kerberos 1.3.1 supports the ARCFOUR-HMAC-MD5 encryption
1094 type which is neccessary for servers on which the
1095 administrator password has not been changed, or kerberos-enabled
1096 SMB connections to servers that require Kerberos SMB signing.
1097 Besides this one difference, either MIT or Heimdal Kerberos
1098 distributions are usable by Samba 3.0.
1101 Samba 3.0 also includes the possibility of setting up chains
1102 of authentication methods (auth methods) and account storage
1103 backends (passdb backend). Please refer to the smb.conf(5)
1104 man page for details. While both parameters assume sane default
1105 values, it is likely that you will need to understand what the
1106 values actually mean in order to ensure Samba operates correctly.
1108 The recommended passdb backends at this time are
1110 * smbpasswd - 2.2 compatible flat file format
1111 * tdbsam - attribute rich database intended as an smbpasswd
1112 replacement for stand alone servers
1113 * ldapsam - attribute rich account storage and retrieval
1114 backend utilizing an LDAP directory.
1115 * ldapsam_compat - a 2.2 backward compatible LDAP account
1118 Certain functions of the smbpasswd(8) tool have been split between the
1119 new smbpasswd(8) utility, the net(8) tool, and the new pdbedit(8)
1120 utility. See the respective man pages for details.
1123 ######################################################################
1127 This section outlines the new features affecting Samba / LDAP
1133 A new object class (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace
1134 the old sambaAccount. This change aids us in the renaming of
1135 attributes to prevent clashes with attributes from other vendors.
1136 There is a conversion script (examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to
1137 modify and LDIF file to the new schema.
1141 $ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." > sambaAcct.ldif
1142 $ convertSambaAccount --sid=<Domain SID> \
1143 --input=sambaAcct.ldif --output=sambaSamAcct.ldif \
1144 --changetype=[modify|add]
1146 The <DOM SID> can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid
1147 <DOMAINNAME>' on the Samba PDC as root. The changetype determines
1148 the format of the generated LDIF output--either create new entries
1149 or modify existing entries.
1151 The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
1152 "ldapsam_compat" passdb backend. However, the sambaAccount and
1153 associated attributes have been moved to the historical section of
1154 the schema file and must be uncommented before use if needed.
1155 The 2.2 object class declaration for a sambaAccount has not changed
1156 in the 3.0 samba.schema file.
1158 Other new object classes and their uses include:
1160 * sambaDomain - domain information used to allocate rids
1161 for users and groups as necessary. The attributes are added
1162 in 'ldap suffix' directory entry automatically if
1163 an idmap uid/gid range has been set and the 'ldapsam'
1164 passdb backend has been selected.
1166 * sambaGroupMapping - an object representing the
1167 relationship between a posixGroup and a Windows
1168 group/SID. These entries are stored in the 'ldap
1169 group suffix' and managed by the 'net groupmap' command.
1171 * sambaUnixIdPool - created in the 'ldap idmap suffix' entry
1172 automatically and contains the next available 'idmap uid' and
1175 * sambaIdmapEntry - object storing a mapping between a
1176 SID and a UNIX uid/gid. These objects are created by the
1177 idmap_ldap module as needed.
1179 * sambaSidEntry - object representing a SID alone, as a Structural
1180 class on which to build the sambaIdmapEntry.
1183 New Suffix for Searching
1184 ------------------------
1186 The following new smb.conf parameters have been added to aid in directing
1187 certain LDAP queries when 'passdb backend = ldapsam://...' has been
1190 * ldap suffix - used to search for user and computer accounts
1191 * ldap user suffix - used to store user accounts
1192 * ldap machine suffix - used to store machine trust accounts
1193 * ldap group suffix - location of posixGroup/sambaGroupMapping entries
1194 * ldap idmap suffix - location of sambaIdmapEntry objects
1196 If an 'ldap suffix' is defined, it will be appended to all of the
1197 remaining sub-suffix parameters. In this case, the order of the suffix
1198 listings in smb.conf is important. Always place the 'ldap suffix' first
1201 Due to a limitation in Samba's smb.conf parsing, you should not surround
1202 the DN's with quotation marks.
1208 Samba 3.0 supports an ldap backend for the idmap subsystem. The
1209 following options would inform Samba that the idmap table should be
1210 stored on the directory server onterose in the "ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,
1215 idmap backend = ldap:ldap://onterose/
1216 ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,dc=org
1217 idmap uid = 40000-50000
1218 idmap gid = 40000-50000
1220 This configuration allows winbind installations on multiple servers to
1221 share a uid/gid number space, thus avoiding the interoperability problems
1222 with NFS that were present in Samba 2.2.
1226 ######################################################################
1227 Trust Relationships and a Samba Domain
1228 ######################################
1230 Samba 3.0.0beta2 is able to utilize winbindd as the means of
1231 allocating uids and gids to trusted users and groups. More
1232 information regarding Samba's support for establishing trust
1233 relationships can be found in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection included
1234 in the docs/ directory of this release.
1236 First create your Samba PDC and ensure that everything is
1237 working correctly before moving on the trusts.
1239 To establish Samba as the trusting domain (named SAMBA) from a Windows NT
1240 4.0 domain named WINDOWS:
1242 1) create the trust account for SAMBA in "User Manager for Domains"
1243 2) connect the trust from the Samba domain using
1244 'net rpc trustdom establish GLASS'
1246 To create a trustlationship with SAMBA as the trusted domain:
1248 1) create the initial trust account for GLASS using
1249 'smbpasswd -a -i GLASS'. You may need to create a UNIX
1250 account for GLASS$ prior to this step (depending on your
1251 local configuration).
1252 2) connect the trust from a WINDOWS DC using "User Manager
1255 Now join winbindd on the Samba PDC to the SAMBA domain using
1256 the normal steps for adding a Samba server to an NT4 domain:
1257 (note that smbd & nmbd must be running at this point)
1259 root# net rpc join -U root
1260 Password: <enter root password from smbpasswd file here>
1262 Start winbindd and test the join with 'wbinfo -t'.
1264 Now test the trust relationship by connecting to the SAMBA DC
1265 (e.g. POGO) as a user from the WINDOWS domain:
1267 $ smbclient //pogo/netlogon -U Administrator -W WINDOWS
1270 Now connect to the WINDOWS DC (e.g. CRYSTAL) as a Samba user:
1272 $ smbclient //crystal/netlogon -U root -W WINDOWS
1275 ######################################################################
1279 Beginning with Samba3.0.0beta3, winbindd has been given new account
1280 manage functionality equivalent to the 'add user script' family of
1281 smb.conf parameters. The idmap design has also been changed to
1282 centralize control of foreign SID lookups and matching to UNIX
1286 Brief Description of Changes
1287 ----------------------------
1289 1) The sid_to_uid() family of functions (smbd/uid.c) have been
1290 reverted to the 2.2.x design. This means that when resolving a
1291 SID to a UID or similar mapping:
1293 a) First consult winbindd
1294 b) perform a local lookup only if winbindd fails to
1295 return a successful answer
1297 There are some variations to this, but these two rules generally
1300 2) All idmap lookups have been moved into winbindd. This means that
1301 a server must run winbindd (and support NSS) in order to achieve
1302 any mappings of SID to dynamically allocated UNIX ids. This was
1303 a conscious design choice.
1305 3) New functions have been added to winbindd to emulate the 'add user
1306 script' family of smbd functions without requiring that external
1307 scripts be defined. This functionality is controlled by the 'winbind
1308 enable local accounts' smb.conf parameter (enabled by default).
1310 However, this account management functionality is only supported
1311 in a local tdb (winbindd_idmap.tdb). If these new UNIX accounts
1312 must be shared among multiple Samba servers (such as a PDC and BDCs),
1313 it will be necessary to define your own 'add user script', et. al.
1314 programs that place the accounts/groups in some form of directory
1315 such as NIS or LDAP. This requirement was deemed beyond the scope
1316 of winbind's account management functions. Solutions for
1317 distributing UNIX system information have been deployed and tested
1318 for many years. We saw no need to reinvent the wheel.
1320 4) A member of a Samba controlled domain running winbindd is now able
1321 to map domain users directly onto existing UNIX accounts while still
1322 automatically creating accounts for trusted users and groups. This
1323 behavior is controlled by the 'winbind trusted domains only' smb.conf
1324 parameter (disabled by default to provide 2.2.x winbind behavior).
1326 5) Group mapping support is wrapped in the local_XX_to_XX() functions
1327 in smbd/uid.c. The reason that group mappings are not included
1328 in winbindd is because the purpose of Samba's group map is to
1329 match any Windows SID with an existing UNIX group. These UNIX
1330 groups can be created by winbindd (see next section), but the
1331 SID<->gid mapping is retreived by smbd, not winbindd.
1337 * security = server running winbindd to allocate accounts on demand
1339 * Samba PDC running winbindd to handle the automatic creation of UNIX
1340 identities for machine trust accounts
1342 * Automtically creating UNIX user and groups when migrating a Windows NT
1343 4.0 PDC to a Samba PDC. Winbindd must be running when executing
1344 'net rpc vampire' for this to work.

1351 * There are several bugs currently logged against the 3.0 codebase
1352 that affect the use of NT 4.0 GUI domain management tools when run
