-Adds Group Policy support for the Samba kdc. Applies password policies
-(minimum/maximum password age, minimum password length, and password
-complexity) and kerberos policies (user/service ticket lifetime and
-renew lifetime).
-
-Adds the samba_gpoupdate script for applying and unapplying
-policy. Can be applied automatically by setting
-
- 'apply group policies = yes'.
-
-Time Machine Support with vfs_fruit
------------------------------------
-
-Samba can be configured as a Time Machine target for Apple Mac devices
-through the vfs_fruit module. When enabling a share for Time Machine
-support the relevant Avahi records to support discovery will be published
-for installations that have been built against the Avahi client library.
-
-Shares can be designated as a Time Machine share with the following setting:
-
- 'fruit:time machine = yes'
-
-Support for lower casing the MDNS Name
---------------------------------------
-
-Allows the server name that is advertised through MDNS to be set to the
-hostname rather than the Samba NETBIOS name. This allows an administrator
-to make Samba registered MDNS records match the case of the hostname
-rather than being in all capitals.
-
-This can be set with the following settings:
-
- 'mdns name = mdns'
-
-Encrypted secrets
------------------
-
-Attributes deemed to be sensitive are now encrypted on disk. The sensitive
-values are currently:
- pekList
- msDS-ExecuteScriptPassword
- currentValue
- dBCSPwd
- initialAuthIncoming
- initialAuthOutgoing
- lmPwdHistory
- ntPwdHistory
- priorValue
- supplementalCredentials
- trustAuthIncoming
- trustAuthOutgoing
- unicodePwd
- clearTextPassword
-
-This encryption is enabled by default on a new provision or join, it
-can be disabled at provision or join time with the new option
-'--plaintext-secrets'.
-
-However, an in-place upgrade will not encrypt the database.
-
-Once encrypted, it is not possible to do an in-place downgrade (eg to
-4.7) of the database. To obtain an unencrypted copy of the database a
-new DC join should be performed, specifying the '--plaintext-secrets'
-option.
-
-The key file "encrypted_secrets.key" is created in the same directory
-as the database and should NEVER be disclosed. It is included by the
-samba_backup script.
-
-Active Directory replication visualisation
-------------------------------------------
-
-To work out what is happening in a replication graph, it is sometimes
-helpful to use visualisations. We introduce a samba-tool subcommand to
-write Graphviz dot output and generate text-based heatmaps of the
-distance in hops between DCs.
-
-There are two subcommands, two graphical modes, and (roughly) two modes of
-operation with respect to the location of authority.
-
-`samba-tool visualize ntdsconn` looks at NTDS Connections.
-`samba-tool visualize reps` looks at repsTo and repsFrom objects.
-
-In '--distance' mode (default), the distances between DCs are shown in
-a matrix in the terminal. With '--color=yes', this is depicted as a
-heatmap. With '--utf8' it is a lttle prettier.
-
-In '--dot' mode, Graphviz dot output is generated. When viewed using
-dot or xdot, this shows the network as a graph with DCs as vertices
-and connections edges. Certain types of degenerate edges are shown in
-different colours or line-styles.
-
-NT4-style replication based net commands removed
-------------------------------------------------
-
-The following commands and sub-commands have been removed from the
-"net" utility:
-
-net rpc samdump
-net rpc vampire ldif
-
-Also, replicating from a real NT4 domain with "net rpc vampire" and
-"net rpc vampire keytab" has been removed.
-
-The NT4-based commands were accidentially broken in 2013, and nobody
-noticed the breakage. So instead of fixing them including tests (which
-would have meant writing a server for the protocols, which we don't
-have) we decided to remove them.
-
-For the same reason, the "samsync", "samdeltas" and "database_redo"
-commands have been removed from rpcclient.
-
-"net rpc vampire keytab" from Active Directory domains continues to be
-supported.
-
-vfs_aio_linux module removed
-----------------------------
-
-The current Linux kernel aio does not match what Samba would
-do. Shipping code that uses it leads people to false
-assumptions. Samba implements async I/O based on threads by default,
-there is no special module required to see benefits of read and write
-request being sent do the disk in parallel.
-
-smbclient reparse point symlink parameters reversed
----------------------------------------------------
-
-A bug in smbclient caused the 'symlink' command to reverse the
-meaning of the new name and link target parameters when creating a
-reparse point symlink against a Windows server. As this is a
-little used feature the ordering of these parameters has been
-reversed to match the parameter ordering of the UNIX extensions
-'symlink' command. The usage message for this command has also
-been improved to remove confusion.
-
-Winbind changes
----------------
-
-The dependency to global list of trusted domains within
-the winbindd processes has been reduced a lot.
-
-The construction of that global list is not reliable and often
-incomplete in complex trust setups. In most situations the list is not needed
-any more for winbindd to operate correctly. E.g. for plain file serving via SMB
-using a simple idmap setup with autorid, tdb or ad. However some more complex
-setups require the list, e.g. if you specify idmap backends for specific
-domains. Some pam_winbind setups may also require the global list.
