163 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.6
165 =============================
167 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.6 include:
169 o Schannel failure in winbindd.
170 o Numerous memory leaks.
171 o Incompatibilities between the 'write list' and 'force user'
173 o Premature optimization of the open_directory() internal
174 function that broke tools such as the ArcServe backup
175 agent, Macromedia HomeSite, and Robocopy.
176 o Corrupt workgroup names in nmbd's browse.dat.
177 o Sharing violation errors commonly seen when opening
178 when serving Microsoft Office documents from a Samba
180 o Browsing problems caused by an apostrophe (') in the
181 computer's description field.
182 o Problems creating special file types from UNIX CIFS
183 clients and enabling 'unix extensions'.
184 o Fix stalls in smbd caused by inaccessible LDAP servers.
185 o Remove various memory leaks.
186 o Fix issues in the password lockout feature.
188 New features introduced in this release include:
190 O Support symlinks created by CIFS clients which
191 can be followed on the server.
192 o Using a cups server other than localhost.
193 o Maintaining the service principal entry in the system
194 keytab for integration with other kerberized services.
195 Please refer to the 'use kerberos keytab' entry in
196 smb.conf(5). When using the heimdal kerberos libraries,
197 you must also specify the following in /etc/krb5.conf:
199 default_keytab_name = FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab
200 o Support for maintaining individual printer names
201 stored separately from the printer's sharename.
202 o Support for maintaining user password history.
203 o Support for honoring the logon times for user in a
206 --------------------------------------------
207 unix extensions = yes (default) and symlinks
208 --------------------------------------------
210 Beginning with Samba 3.0.6pre1 (formerly known as 3.0.5pre1),
211 clients supporting the UNIX extensions to the CIFS protocol
212 can create symlinks to absolute paths which will be **followed**
213 by the server. This functionality has been requested in order
214 to correctly support certain applications when the user's home
215 directory is mounted using some type of CIFS client (e.g. the
216 cifsvfs in the Linux 2.6 kernel).
218 If this behavior is not acceptable for your production environment
219 you can set 'wide links = no' in the specific share declaration in
220 the server's smb.conf. Be aware that disabling wide link support
221 out of a share in Samba may impact the server's performance due
222 to the fact that smbd will now have to check each path additional
223 times before traversing it.
225 ------------------------
226 Password History Support
227 ------------------------
229 The new password history feature allows smbd to check the new
230 password in password change requests against a list of the user's
231 previous passwords. The number of previous passwords to save can
232 be set using pdbedit (4 in this example):
234 root# pdbedit -P "password history" -C 4
236 When using the ldapsam passdb backend, it is vital to secure the
237 following attributes from access by non-administrative users:
241 * sambaPasswordHistory
243 You should refer to your directory server's documentation on how
244 to implement this restriction.
253 Parameter Name Action
254 -------------- ------
256 defer sharing violations New
257 force unknown acl user New
259 printcap cache time New
260 use kerberos keytab New
264 o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
265 * Correct path parsing bug that broke DeletePrinterDriverEx().

272 to a share, even when 'force user' is set.
273 * Fix specific case of open that doesn't cause oplock break,
275 * Correct sid type is WKN_GROUP, not alias. Added some
276 more known types (inspired by patch from Jianliang Lu).

502 affects strings the spoolss printing replies.
503 * Fix the bad password lockout. This has not worked as pdb_ldap.c
504 did not ask for the modifyTimestamp attribute, so it could
505 not find it. Try not to regress by not putting that attrib

667 the exception of correcting the two security issues outlined
670 ######################## SECURITY RELEASE ########################
672 Summary: Multiple Potential Buffer Overruns in Samba 3.0.x
673 CVE ID: CAN-2004-0600, CAN-2004-0686
674 (http://cve.mitre.org/)
677 This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version
678 that production Samba servers should be running for all current
681 It has been confirmed that versions of Samba 3 prior to v3.0.4
682 are vulnerable to two potential buffer overruns. The individual
683 details are given below.
689 Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.2 and later
691 The internal routine used by the Samba Web Administration
692 Tool (SWAT v3.0.2 and later) to decode the base64 data
693 during HTTP basic authentication is subject to a buffer
694 overrun caused by an invalid base64 character. It is
695 recommended that all Samba v3.0.2 or later installations
696 running SWAT either (a) upgrade to v3.0.5, or (b) disable
697 the swat administration service as a temporary workaround.
699 This same code is used internally to decode the
700 sambaMungedDial attribute value when using the ldapsam
701 passdb backend. While we do not believe that the base64
702 decoding routines used by the ldapsam passdb backend can
703 be exploited, sites using an LDAP directory service with
704 Samba are strongly encouraged to verify that the DIT only
705 allows write access to sambaSamAccount attributes by a
706 sufficiently authorized user.
708 The Samba Team would like to heartily thank Evgeny Demidov
709 for analyzing and reporting this bug.
715 Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.0 and later
717 A buffer overrun has been located in the code used to support
718 the 'mangling method = hash' smb.conf option. Please be aware
719 that the default setting for this parameter is 'mangling method
720 = hash2' and therefore not vulnerable.
722 Affected Samba 3 installations can avoid this possible security
723 bug by using the default hash2 mangling method. Server
724 installations requiring the hash mangling method are encouraged
725 to upgrade to Samba 3.0.5.

1302 ==============================
1304 Samba 3.0.2a is a minor patch release for the 3.0.2 code base
1305 to address, in particular, a problem when using pdbedit to
1306 sanitize (--force-initialized-passwords) Samba's tdbsam
1307 backend. This is the latest stable release of Samba. This
1308 is the version that all production Samba servers should be
1309 running for all current bug-fixes.
1311 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
1313 Beginning with Samba 3.0.2, passwords for accounts with a last
1314 change time (LCT-XXX in smbpasswd, sambaPwdLastSet attribute in
1315 ldapsam, etc...) of zero (0) will be regarded as uninitialized
1316 strings. This will cause authentication to fail for such
1317 accounts. If you have valid passwords that meet this criteria,
1318 you must update the last change time to a non-zero value. If you
1319 do not, then 'pdbedit --force-initialized-passwords' will disable
1320 these accounts and reset the password hashes to a string of X's.
1322 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************

1374 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2
1376 =============================
1378 It has been confirmed that previous versions of Samba 3.0 are
1379 susceptible to a password initialization bug that could grant an
1380 attacker unauthorized access to a user account created by the
1381 mksmbpasswd.sh shell script.
1383 The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
1384 has assigned the name CAN-2004-0082 to this issue.
1386 Samba administrators not wishing to upgrade to the current
1387 version should download the 3.0.2 release, build the pdbedit
1390 root# pdbedit-3.0.2 --force-initialized-passwords
1392 This will disable all accounts not possessing a valid password
1393 (e.g. the password field has been set a string of X's).
1395 Samba servers running 3.0.2 are not vulnerable to this bug
1396 regardless of whether or not pdbedit has been used to sanitize
1399 Some of the more visible bugs in 3.0.1 addressed in the 3.0.2
1402 o Joining a Samba domain from Pre-SP2 Windows 2000 clients.
1403 o Logging onto a Samba domain from Windows XP clients.
1404 o Problems with the %U and %u smb.conf variables in relation to
1405 Windows 9x/ME clients.
1406 o Kerberos failures due to an invalid in memory keytab detection
1408 o Updates to the ntlm_auth tool.
1409 o Fixes for various SMB signing errors.
1410 o Better separation of WINS and DNS queries for domain controllers.
1411 o Issues with nss_winbind FreeBSD and Solaris.
1412 o Several crash bugs in smbd and winbindd.
1413 o Output formatting fixes for smbclient for better compatibility
1414 with scripts based on the 2.2 version.

1879 o Fix a handful of potential memory leaks in the LDAP code used
1880 by ldapsam[_compat] and the LDAP idmap backend.
1881 o Fix for pdbedit error code returns (bug 763).
1882 o Make sure we only enumerate group mapping entries (not
1883 /etc/group) even when doing local aliases.
1884 o Relax check on the pipe name in a dce/rpc bind response to work
1885 around issues with establishing trusts to a Windows 2003 domain.
1886 o Ensure we mangle names ending in '.' in hash2 mangling method.
1887 o Correct parsing issues with munged dial string.
1888 o Fix bugs in quota support for XFS.
1889 o Add a cleaner method for applications that need to provide

1891 know the winbindd pipe protocol.
1892 o Adds a variant of the winbindd_getgroups() call called
1893 winbindd_getusersids() that provides direct SID->SIDs listing of
1894 a users supplementary groups. This is enough to allow non-Samba
1895 applications to do ACL checking.
1896 o Make sure we don't append the 'ldap suffix' when writing out the
1897 'ldap XXX suffix' values in SWAT (bug 328).
1898 o Fix renames across file systems.
1899 o Ensure that items in a list of strings containing whitespace are

1986 The original 3.0.0 release notes follow
1987 =======================================
1988 WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.0
1990 =======================================
1996 1) Active Directory support. Samba 3.0 is now able to
1997 join a ADS realm as a member server and authenticate
1998 users using LDAP/Kerberos.
2000 2) Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate UNICODE on the wire
2001 and internally there is now a much better infrastructure for
2002 multi-byte and UNICODE character sets.
2004 3) New authentication system. The internal authentication system
2005 has been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are
2006 internal, but the new auth system is also very configurable.
2008 4) New default filename mangling system.
2010 5) A new "net" command has been added. It is somewhat similar to
2011 the "net" command in windows. Eventually we plan to replace
2012 numerous other utilities (such as smbpasswd) with subcommands
2015 6) Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
2016 improves error handling a lot.
2018 7) Better Windows 2000/XP/2003 printing support including publishing
2019 printer attributes in active directory.
2021 8) New loadable module support for passdb backends and character
2024 9) New default dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance.
2026 10) Support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Samba
2027 domain and maintaining user, group and domain SIDs.
2029 11) Support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
2032 12) Initial support for a distributed Winbind architecture using
2033 an LDAP directory for storing SID to uid/gid mappings.
2035 13) Major updates to the Samba documentation tree.
2037 14) Full support for client and server SMB signing to ensure
2038 compatibility with default Windows 2003 security settings.
2040 15) Improvement of ACL mapping features based on code donated by
2041 Andreas Grünbacher.
2044 Plus lots of other improvements!
2047 Additional Documentation
2048 ------------------------
2050 Please refer to Samba documentation tree (included in the docs/
2051 subdirectory) for extensive explanations of installing, configuring
2052 and maintaining Samba 3.0 servers and clients. It is advised to
2053 begin with the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for overviews and specific
2054 tasks (the current book is up to approximately 400 pages) and to
2055 refer to the various man pages for information on individual options.
2057 We are very glad to be able to include the second edition of
2058 "Using Samba" by Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown
2059 (O'Reilly & Associates) in this release. The book is available
2060 on-line at http://samba.org/samba/docs/ and is included with
2061 the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). Thanks to the authors and
2062 publisher for making "Using Samba" under the GNU Free Documentation
2066 ######################################################################
2067 Upgrading from a previous Samba 3.0 beta
2068 ########################################
2070 Beginning with Samba 3.0.0beta3, the RID allocation functions
2071 have been moved into winbindd. Previously these were handled
2072 by each passdb backend. This means that winbindd must be running
2073 to automatically allocate RIDs for users and/or groups. Otherwise,
2074 smbd will use the 2.2 algorithm for generating new RIDs.
2076 If you are using 'passdb backend = tdbsam' with a previous Samba
2077 3.0 beta release (or possibly alpha), it may be necessary to
2078 move the RID_COUNTER entry from /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
2079 to winbindd_idmap.tdb. To do this:
2081 1) Ensure that winbindd_idmap.tdb exists (launch winbindd at least
2083 2) build tdbtool by executing 'make tdbtool' in the source/tdb/
2085 3) run: (note that 'tdb>' is the tool's prompt for input)
2087 root# ./tdbtool /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
2088 tdb> show RID_COUNTER
2092 [000] 0A 52 00 00 .R.
2094 tdb> move RID_COUNTER /usr/local/samba/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb
2098 If you are using 'passdb backend = ldapsam', it will be necessary to
2099 store idmap entries in the LDAP directory as well (i.e. idmap backend
2100 = ldap). Refer to the 'net idmap' command for more information on
2101 migrating SID<->UNIX id mappings from one backend to another.
2103 If the RID_COUNTER record does not exist, then these instructions are
2104 unneccessary and the new RID_COUNTER record will be correctly generated

2284 This section contains brief descriptions of any new databases
2285 introduced in Samba 3.0. Please remember to backup your existing
2286 ${lock directory}/*tdb before upgrading to Samba 3.0. Samba will
2287 upgrade databases as they are opened (if necessary), but downgrading
2288 from 3.0 to 2.2 is an unsupported path.
2290 Name Description Backup?
2291 ---- ----------- -------
2292 account_policy User policy settings yes
2293 gencache Generic caching db no
2294 group_mapping Mapping table from Windows yes
2295 groups/SID to unix groups
2296 winbindd_idmap ID map table from SIDS to UNIX yes
2298 namecache Name resolution cache entries no
2299 netsamlogon_cache Cache of NET_USER_INFO_3 structure no

2303 command' created on a per print
2305 registry Read-only samba registry skeleton no
2306 that provides support for exporting
2307 various db tables via the winreg RPCs
2313 The following issues are known changes in behavior between Samba 2.2 and
2314 Samba 3.0 that may affect certain installations of Samba.
2316 1) When operating as a member of a Windows domain, Samba 2.2 would
2317 map any users authenticated by the remote DC to the 'guest account'
2318 if a uid could not be obtained via the getpwnam() call. Samba 3.0
2319 rejects the connection as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. There is no
2320 current work around to re-establish the 2.2 behavior.
2322 2) When adding machines to a Samba 2.2 controlled domain, the
2323 'add user script' was used to create the UNIX identity of the
2324 machine trust account. Samba 3.0 introduces a new 'add machine
2325 script' that must be specified for this purpose. Samba 3.0 will
2326 not fall back to using the 'add user script' in the absence of
2327 an 'add machine script'
2330 ######################################################################
2331 Passdb Backends and Authentication
2332 ##################################
2334 There have been a few new changes that Samba administrators should be
2335 aware of when moving to Samba 3.0.
2337 1) encrypted passwords have been enabled by default in order to
2338 inter-operate better with out-of-the-box Windows client
2339 installations. This does mean that either (a) a samba account
2340 must be created for each user, or (b) 'encrypt passwords = no'
2341 must be explicitly defined in smb.conf.
2343 2) Inclusion of new 'security = ads' option for integration
2344 with an Active Directory domain using the native Windows
2345 Kerberos 5 and LDAP protocols.
2347 MIT kerberos 1.3.1 supports the ARCFOUR-HMAC-MD5 encryption
2348 type which is neccessary for servers on which the
2349 administrator password has not been changed, or kerberos-enabled
2350 SMB connections to servers that require Kerberos SMB signing.
2351 Besides this one difference, either MIT or Heimdal Kerberos
2352 distributions are usable by Samba 3.0.
2355 Samba 3.0 also includes the possibility of setting up chains
2356 of authentication methods (auth methods) and account storage
2357 backends (passdb backend). Please refer to the smb.conf(5)
2358 man page for details. While both parameters assume sane default
2359 values, it is likely that you will need to understand what the
2360 values actually mean in order to ensure Samba operates correctly.
2362 The recommended passdb backends at this time are
2364 * smbpasswd - 2.2 compatible flat file format
2365 * tdbsam - attribute rich database intended as an smbpasswd
2366 replacement for stand alone servers
2367 * ldapsam - attribute rich account storage and retrieval
2368 backend utilizing an LDAP directory.
2369 * ldapsam_compat - a 2.2 backward compatible LDAP account
2372 Certain functions of the smbpasswd(8) tool have been split between the
2373 new smbpasswd(8) utility, the net(8) tool, and the new pdbedit(8)
2374 utility. See the respective man pages for details.
2377 ######################################################################
2381 This section outlines the new features affecting Samba / LDAP
2387 A new object class (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace
2388 the old sambaAccount. This change aids us in the renaming of
2389 attributes to prevent clashes with attributes from other vendors.
2390 There is a conversion script (examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to
2391 modify and LDIF file to the new schema.
2395 $ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." > sambaAcct.ldif
2396 $ convertSambaAccount --sid=<Domain SID> \
2397 --input=sambaAcct.ldif --output=sambaSamAcct.ldif \
2398 --changetype=[modify|add]
2400 The <DOM SID> can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid
2401 <DOMAINNAME>' on the Samba PDC as root. The changetype determines
2402 the format of the generated LDIF output--either create new entries
2403 or modify existing entries.
2405 The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
2406 "ldapsam_compat" passdb backend. However, the sambaAccount and
2407 associated attributes have been moved to the historical section of
2408 the schema file and must be uncommented before use if needed.
2409 The 2.2 object class declaration for a sambaAccount has not changed
2410 in the 3.0 samba.schema file.
2412 Other new object classes and their uses include:
2414 * sambaDomain - domain information used to allocate rids
2415 for users and groups as necessary. The attributes are added
2416 in 'ldap suffix' directory entry automatically if
2417 an idmap uid/gid range has been set and the 'ldapsam'
2418 passdb backend has been selected.
2420 * sambaGroupMapping - an object representing the
2421 relationship between a posixGroup and a Windows
2422 group/SID. These entries are stored in the 'ldap
2423 group suffix' and managed by the 'net groupmap' command.
2425 * sambaUnixIdPool - created in the 'ldap idmap suffix' entry
2426 automatically and contains the next available 'idmap uid' and
2429 * sambaIdmapEntry - object storing a mapping between a
2430 SID and a UNIX uid/gid. These objects are created by the
2431 idmap_ldap module as needed.
2433 * sambaSidEntry - object representing a SID alone, as a Structural
2434 class on which to build the sambaIdmapEntry.
2437 New Suffix for Searching
2438 ------------------------
2440 The following new smb.conf parameters have been added to aid in directing
2441 certain LDAP queries when 'passdb backend = ldapsam://...' has been
2444 * ldap suffix - used to search for user and computer accounts
2445 * ldap user suffix - used to store user accounts
2446 * ldap machine suffix - used to store machine trust accounts
2447 * ldap group suffix - location of posixGroup/sambaGroupMapping entries
2448 * ldap idmap suffix - location of sambaIdmapEntry objects
2450 If an 'ldap suffix' is defined, it will be appended to all of the
2451 remaining sub-suffix parameters. In this case, the order of the suffix
2452 listings in smb.conf is important. Always place the 'ldap suffix' first
2455 Due to a limitation in Samba's smb.conf parsing, you should not surround
2456 the DN's with quotation marks.
2462 Samba 3.0 supports an ldap backend for the idmap subsystem. The
2463 following options would inform Samba that the idmap table should be
2464 stored on the directory server onterose in the "ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,
2469 idmap backend = ldap:ldap://onterose/
2470 ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,dc=org
2471 idmap uid = 40000-50000
2472 idmap gid = 40000-50000
2474 This configuration allows winbind installations on multiple servers to
2475 share a uid/gid number space, thus avoiding the interoperability problems
2476 with NFS that were present in Samba 2.2.
2480 ######################################################################
2481 Trust Relationships and a Samba Domain
2482 ######################################
2484 Samba 3.0.0beta2 is able to utilize winbindd as the means of
2485 allocating uids and gids to trusted users and groups. More
2486 information regarding Samba's support for establishing trust
2487 relationships can be found in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection included
2488 in the docs/ directory of this release.
2490 First create your Samba PDC and ensure that everything is
2491 working correctly before moving on the trusts.
2493 To establish Samba as the trusting domain (named SAMBA) from a Windows NT
2494 4.0 domain named WINDOWS:
2496 1) create the trust account for SAMBA in "User Manager for Domains"
2497 2) connect the trust from the Samba domain using
2498 'net rpc trustdom establish GLASS'
2500 To create a trustlationship with SAMBA as the trusted domain:
2502 1) create the initial trust account for GLASS using
2503 'smbpasswd -a -i GLASS'. You may need to create a UNIX
2504 account for GLASS$ prior to this step (depending on your
2505 local configuration).
2506 2) connect the trust from a WINDOWS DC using "User Manager
2509 Now join winbindd on the Samba PDC to the SAMBA domain using
2510 the normal steps for adding a Samba server to an NT4 domain:
2511 (note that smbd & nmbd must be running at this point)
2513 root# net rpc join -U root
2514 Password: <enter root password from smbpasswd file here>
2516 Start winbindd and test the join with 'wbinfo -t'.
2518 Now test the trust relationship by connecting to the SAMBA DC
2519 (e.g. POGO) as a user from the WINDOWS domain:
2521 $ smbclient //pogo/netlogon -U Administrator -W WINDOWS
2524 Now connect to the WINDOWS DC (e.g. CRYSTAL) as a Samba user:
2526 $ smbclient //crystal/netlogon -U root -W WINDOWS
2529 ######################################################################
2533 Beginning with Samba3.0.0beta3, winbindd has been given new account
2534 manage functionality equivalent to the 'add user script' family of
2535 smb.conf parameters. The idmap design has also been changed to
2536 centralize control of foreign SID lookups and matching to UNIX
2540 Brief Description of Changes
2541 ----------------------------
2543 1) The sid_to_uid() family of functions (smbd/uid.c) have been
2544 reverted to the 2.2.x design. This means that when resolving a
2545 SID to a UID or similar mapping:
2547 a) First consult winbindd
2548 b) perform a local lookup only if winbindd fails to
2549 return a successful answer
2551 There are some variations to this, but these two rules generally
2554 2) All idmap lookups have been moved into winbindd. This means that
2555 a server must run winbindd (and support NSS) in order to achieve
2556 any mappings of SID to dynamically allocated UNIX ids. This was
2557 a conscious design choice.
2559 3) New functions have been added to winbindd to emulate the 'add user
2560 script' family of smbd functions without requiring that external
2561 scripts be defined. This functionality is controlled by the 'winbind
2562 enable local accounts' smb.conf parameter (enabled by default).
2564 However, this account management functionality is only supported
2565 in a local tdb (winbindd_idmap.tdb). If these new UNIX accounts
2566 must be shared among multiple Samba servers (such as a PDC and BDCs),
2567 it will be necessary to define your own 'add user script', et. al.
2568 programs that place the accounts/groups in some form of directory
2569 such as NIS or LDAP. This requirement was deemed beyond the scope
2570 of winbind's account management functions. Solutions for
2571 distributing UNIX system information have been deployed and tested
2572 for many years. We saw no need to reinvent the wheel.
2574 4) A member of a Samba controlled domain running winbindd is now able
2575 to map domain users directly onto existing UNIX accounts while still
2576 automatically creating accounts for trusted users and groups. This
2577 behavior is controlled by the 'winbind trusted domains only' smb.conf
2578 parameter (disabled by default to provide 2.2.x winbind behavior).
2580 5) Group mapping support is wrapped in the local_XX_to_XX() functions
2581 in smbd/uid.c. The reason that group mappings are not included
2582 in winbindd is because the purpose of Samba's group map is to
2583 match any Windows SID with an existing UNIX group. These UNIX
2584 groups can be created by winbindd (see next section), but the
2585 SID<->gid mapping is retreived by smbd, not winbindd.
2591 * security = server running winbindd to allocate accounts on demand
2593 * Samba PDC running winbindd to handle the automatic creation of UNIX
2594 identities for machine trust accounts
2596 * Automtically creating UNIX user and groups when migrating a Windows NT
2597 4.0 PDC to a Samba PDC. Winbindd must be running when executing
2598 'net rpc vampire' for this to work.
