+ =================================
+ Release Notes for Samba 3.0.3pre1
+ XXXXXX XX, 2004
+ =================================
-This is the first release candidate snapshot of Samba 3.0.0. A release
-candidate implies that the code is very close to a final release, remember
-that this is still a non-production release intended for testing purposes.
-Use at your own risk.
+This is a preview release of the Samba 3.0.3 code base and is
+provided for testing only. This release is *not* intended for
+production servers. Use at your own risk.
-The purpose of this release candidate is to get wider testing of the major
-new pieces of code in the current Samba 3.0 development tree.
-Please refer to the section on "Known Issues" for more details.
+There have been several bug fixes since the 3.0.2 release that
+we feel are important to make available to the Samba community
+for wider testings. See the "Changes" section for details on
+exact updates.

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

+ of stdout (bug 668).
+o Stop net -P from prompting for machine account password (bug 451).
+o Change in behavior to Not only change the effective uid but also
+ the real uid when becoming unprivileged.
+o Cope with Exchange 5.5 cleartext pop password auth.
+o New files for support of initshutdown pipe. Win2k doesn't

+ to handle this new pipe (bug 534).
+o Added more va_copy() checks in configure.in.
+o Include fixes for libsmbclient build problems.
+o Missing UNIX -> DOS codepage conversion in lanman.c.
+o Allow DFMS-S filenames can now have arbitrary case (bug 667).

+ version (bug 514).
+o Compile tdbdump by default.
+o Apply patches to fix iconv detection for FreeBSD.
+o Do not allow the 'guest account' to be added to a passdb backend

+o Run krb5 logins through the username map if the winbindd
+ lookup fails (bug 698).
+o Add const for lp_set_name_resolve_order() to avoid compiler
+ warnings (bug 471).

+o Allow winbindd to match local accounts to domain SID when
+ 'winbind trusted domains only = yes' (bug 680).

+ suffix. It's not needed and provides inconsistent functionality
+ from the tdb backend.
+o Patch to handle munged dial string for Windows 200 TSE.
+o Correct the "smbldap_open: cannot access when not root error"
+ messages when looking up group information (bug 281).
+o Skip over the winbind separator when looking up a user.
+ This fixes the bug that prevented local users from
+ matching an AD user when not running winbindd (bug 698).
+o Fix a problem with configure on *BSD systems. Make sure
+ we add -liconv etc to LDFLAGS.
+o Fix core dump bug when "security = server" and the authentication
+ server goes away.
+o Correct crash bug due to an empty munged dial string.
+o Show files locked by a specific user (smbstatus -u 'user')
+ (bug 590).
+o Fix bug preventing print jobs from display in the queue
+ monitor used by Windows NT and later clients (bug 660).
+o Fix several reported problems with point-n-print from
+ Windows 2000/XP clients due to a bug in the EnumPrinterDataEx()
+ reply (bug 338, 527 & 643).
+o Fix a handful of potential memory leaks in the LDAP code used
+ by ldapsam[_compat] and the LDAP idmap backend.
+o Fix for pdbedit error code returns (bug 763).
+o Make sure we only enumerate group mapping entries (not
+ /etc/group) even when doing local aliases.
+o Relax check on the pipe name in a dce/rpc bind response to work
+ around issues with establishing trusts to a Windows 2003 domain.
+o Ensure we mangle names ending in '.' in hash2 mangling method.
+o Correct parsing issues with munged dial string.
+o Fix bugs in quota support for XFS.
+o Add a cleaner method for applications that need to provide
+ name->SID mappings to do this via NSS rather than having to
+ know the winbindd pipe protocol.
+o Adds a variant of the winbindd_getgroups() call called
+ winbindd_getusersids() that provides direct SID->SIDs listing of
+ a users supplementary groups. This is enough to allow non-Samba
+ applications to do ACL checking.
+o Make sure we don't append the 'ldap suffix' when writing out the
+ 'ldap XXX suffix' values in SWAT (bug 328).
+o Fix renames across file systems.
+o Ensure that items in a list of strings containing whitespace are
+ written out surrounded by single quotes. This means that both
+ double and single quotes are now used to surround strings in
+ smb.conf (bug 481).
+o Enable SWAT to correctly determine if winbindd is running (bug
+ 398).
+o Include WWW-Authenticate field in 401 response for bad auth
+ attempt (bug 629).
+o Add support for NTLM2 (NTLMv2 session security).
+o Add support for variable-length session keys.
+o More privilege fixes for group enumeration in LDAP (bug 281).
+o Use the dns name (or IP) as the originating client name when
+ using CUPS (bug 467).

-16) Fix crash bug in ADS searches.
-17) Build libnss_wins.so as part of nsswitch target (bug #160).
-18) Make net rpc vampire return an error if the sam sync RPC
- returns an error.

-35) Fix pdb_ldap segfaults, and wrong default values for
- ldapsam_compat.
-36) Enable negative connection cache for winbindd's ADS backend

- and make 'samstrict' the new default 'sam' auth method.
-45) Match Windows NT4/2k behavior when authenticating a user with
- and unknown domain (default to our domain if we are a DC or
- domain member; default to our local name if we are a
- standalone server).
-46) Fix Get_Pwnam() to always fall back to lookup 'user' if the
- 'DOMAIN\user' lookup fails. This matches 2.2. behavior.
-47) Fix the trustdom_cache code to update the list of trusted
- domains when operating as a domain member and not using
- winbindd.
-48) Remove 'nisplussam' passdb backend since it has suffered for
- too long without a maintainer.
