-Now Licensed under the GNU GPLv3
-================================
-
-The Samba Team has adopted the Version 3 of the GNU General Public
-License for the 3.2 and later releases. The GPLv3 is the updated
-version of the GPLv2 license under which Samba is currently
-distributed. It has been updated to improve compatibility with other
-licenses and to make it easier to adopt internationally, and is an
-improved version of the license to better suit the needs of Free
-Software in the 21st Century.
-
-The original announcement is available on-line at
-
- http://news.samba.org/announcements/samba_gplv3/
-
-
-New Security Defaults for Authentication
-========================================
-
-Support for LanMan passwords is now disabled in both client and server
-applications. Additionally, clear text authentication requests are
-disabled by default in client utilities such as smbclient and all
-libsmbclient based applications. This will affect connection both
-to and from hosts running DOS, Windows 9x/ME, and OS/2. Please refer
-to the "Changes" section for details on the exact parameters that were
-updated.
-
-
-Registry Configuration Backend
-==============================
-
-Samba is now able to use a registry based configuration backed to
-supplement smb.conf setting. This feature may be enabled by setting
-"config backend = registry" and "registry shares = yes" in the [global]
-section of smb.conf and may be managed using the "net conf" command.
-
-More information may be obtained from the smb.conf(5) and net(8) man
-pages.
-
-
-Removed Features
-================
-
-Both the Python bindings and the libmsrpc shared library have been
-removed from the tree due to lack of an official maintainer.
-
-As smbfs is no longer supported in current kernel versions, smbmount has
-been removed in this Samba version. Please use cifs (mount.cifs) instead.
-See examples/scripts/mount/mount.smbfs as an example for a wrapper which
-calls mount.cifs instead of smbmount/mount.smbfs.
-
-
-Modified API for libsmbclient
-==============================================================================
-
-Maintaining ABI compatibility for libsmbclient has become increasingly
-difficult to accomplish, while also keeping the code organization such that it
-is easily readable. Towards the goal of maintaining ABI compatibility and
-also keeping the code easy to maintain and enhance, the API has been enhanced.
-In particular, the fields in the SMBCCTX context structure are no longer
-intended to be read/write by the user, and are marked as deprecated. An
-application that previously accessed the members of the SMBCCTX context
-structure will now encounter warnings if recompiled. This is intentional, to
-encourage implementation of the small changes required for the new interface.
-The number of changes is expected to be quite small for the vast majority of
-applications, and no changes need be made for many applications. The changes
-required for KDE (konqueror) to conform to the new interface, for example, are
-only four lines in only one file.
+This is the first release of Samba 3.6.0.
-Instead of the application manually changing or reading values in the context
-structure, there are now setter and getter functions for each configurable
-member in that structure. Similarly, the smbc_option_get() and
-smbc_option_set() functions are deprecated in favor of the setter/getter
-interface. The setters and getters are all documented in libsmbclient.h
-under these comment blocks:
+Major enhancements in Samba 3.6.0 include:
- Getters and setters for CONFIGURATION
- Getters and setters for OPTIONS
- Getters and setters for FUNCTIONS
- Callable functions for files
- Callable functions for directories
- Callable functions applicable to both files and directories
-Example changes that may be required to eliminate "deprecated" warnings:
+Changed security defaults
+-------------------------
- /* Set the debug level */
- context->debug = 99;
-changes to:
- smbc_setDebug(context, 99);
+Samba 3.6 has adopted a number of improved security defaults that will
+impact on existing users of Samba.
- /* Specify the authentication callback function */
- context->callbacks.auth_fn = auth_smbc_get_data;
-changes to:
- smbc_setFunctionAuthData(context, auth_smbc_get_data);
+ client ntlmv2 auth = yes
+ client use spnego principal = no
+ send spnego principal = no
- /* Specify the new-style authentication callback with context parameter */
- smbc_option_set("auth_function", auth_smbc_get_data_with_ctx);
-changes to:
- smbc_setFunctionAuthDataWithContext(context, auth_smbc_get_data_with_ctx);
+The impact of 'client ntlmv2 auth = yes' is that by default we will not
+use NTLM authentication as a client. This applies to the Samba client
+tools such as smbclient and winbind, but does not change the separately
+released in-kernel CIFS client. To re-enable the poorer NTLM encryption
+set '--option=clientusentlmv2auth=no' on your smbclient command line, or
+set 'client ntlmv2 auth = no' in your smb.conf
- /* Set kerberos flags */
- context->flags = (SMB_CTX_FLAG_USE_KERBEROS |
- SMB_CTX_FLAG_FALLBACK_AFTER_KERBEROS);
-changes to:
- smbc_setOptionUseKerberos(context, 1);
- smbc_setOptionFallbackAfterKerberos(context, 1);
+The impact of 'client use spnego principal = no' is that Samba will
+use CIFS/hostname to obtain a kerberos ticket, acting more like
+Windows when using Kerberos against a CIFS server in smbclient,
+winbind and other Samba client tools. This will change which servers
+we will successfully negotiate kerberos connections to. This is due
+to Samba no longer trusting a server-provided hint which is not
+available from Windows 2008 or later. For correct operation with all
+clients, all aliases for a server should be recorded as a as a
+servicePrincipalName on the server's record in AD. (For this reason,
+this behavior change and parameter was also made in Samba 3.5.9)
+The impact of 'send spnego principal = no' is to match Windows 2008 and
+not to send this principal, making existing clients give more consistent
+behaviour (more likely to fall back to NTLMSSP) between Samba and
+Windows 2008, and between Windows versions that did and no longer use
+this insecure hint.
+SMB2 support
+------------
+
+SMB2 support in 3.6.0 is fully functional (with one omission),
+and can be enabled by setting:
+
+max protocol = SMB2
+
+in the [global] section of your smb.conf and re-starting
+Samba. All features should work over SMB2 except the modification
+of user quotas using the Windows quota management tools.
+
+As this is the first release containing what we consider
+to be a fully featured SMB2 protocol, we are not enabling
+this by default, but encourage users to enable SMB2 and
+test it. Once we have enough confirmation from Samba
+users and OEMs that SMB2 support is stable in wide user
+testing we will enable SMB2 by default in a future Samba
+release.
+
+
+Internal Winbind passdb changes
+-------------------------------
+
+Winbind has been changed to use the internal samr and lsa rpc pipe to get
+local user and group information instead of calling passdb functions. The
+reason is to use more of our infrastructure and test this infrastructure by
+using it. With this approach more code in Winbind is shared.
+
+
+New Spoolss code
+----------------
+
+The spoolss and the old RAP printing code have been completely
+overhauled and refactored.
+
+All calls from lanman/printing code has been changed to go through the
+spoolss RPC interfaces, this allows us to keep all checks in one place
+and avoid special cases in the main printing code.
+Printing code has been therefore confined within the spoolss code.
+
+All the printing code, including the spoolss RPC interfaces has been
+changed to use the winreg RPC interfaces to store all data.
+All data has been migrated from custom, arbitrary TDB files to the
+registry interface. This transition allow us to present correct data to
+windows client accessing the server registry through the winreg RPC
+interfaces to query for printer data. Data is served out from a real
+registry implementation and therefore arguably 100% forward compatible.
+
+Migration code from the previous TDB files formats is provided. This
+code is automatically invoked the first time the new code is run on the
+server. Although manual migration is also available using the 'net
+printer migrate' command.
+
+These changes not only make all the spoolss code much more closer to
+"the spec", it also greatly improves our internal testing of both
+spoolss and winreg interfaces, and reduces overall code duplication.
+
+As part of this work, new tests have been also added to increase
+coverage.
+
+This code will also allow, in future, an easy transition to split out
+the spooling functions into a separate daemon for those OEMs that do not
+need printing functionality in their appliances, reducing the code
+footprint.
+
+
+ID Mapping Changes
+------------------
+
+The id mapping configuration has been a source of much grief in the past.
+For this release, id mapping has been rewritten yet again with the goal
+of making the configuration more simple and more coherent while keeping
+the needed flexibility and even adding to the flexibility in some respects.
+
+The major change that implies the configuration simplifications is at
+the heart of the id mapping system: The separation of the "idmap alloc
+system" that is responsible for the unix id counters in the tdb, tdb2
+and ldap idmap backends from the id mapping code itself has been removed.
+The sids_to_unixids operation is now atomic and encapsulates (if needed)
+the action of allocating a unix id for a mapping that is to be created.
+Consequently all idmap alloc configuration parameters have vanished and
+it is hence now also not possible any more to specify an idmap alloc
+backend different from the idmap backend. Each idmap backend uses its
+own idmap unixid creation mechanism transparently.
+
+As a consequence of the id mapping changes, the methods that are used
+for storing and deleting id mappings have been removed from the winbindd
+API. The "net idmap dump/restore" commands have been rewritten to
+not speak through winbindd any more but directly act on the databases.
+This is currently available for the tdb and tdb2 backends, the implementation
+for ldap still missing.
+
+The allocate_id functionality is preserved for the unix id creator of the
+default idmap configuration is also used as the source of unix ids
+for the group mapping database and for the posix attributes in a
+ldapsam:editposix setup.
+
+As part of the changes, the default idmap configuration has been
+changed to be more coherent with the per-domain configuration.
+The parameters "idmap uid", "idmap gid" and "idmap range" are now
+deprecated in favour of the systematic "idmap config * : range"
+and "idmap config * : backend" parameters. The reason for this change
+is that the old options only provided an incomplete and hence deceiving
+backwards compatibility, which was a source of many problems with
+upgrades. By introducing this change in configuration, it should be
+brought to the conciousness of the users that even the simple
+id mapping is not working exactly as in Samba 3.0 versions any more.
+
+
+Endpoint Mapper
+---------------
+
+As Microsoft is more and more relying on endpoint mapper and we didn't have a
+complete implementation we decided to create an instance for Samba. The
+endpoint mapper is like a DNS server but for ports. If you want to talk to a
+certain RPC service over TCP/IP, you just ask the endpoint mapper on which
+port it is running. Then you can connect to the service and make sure that it
+is running.
+
+The code is deactivated by default, because it needs more testing and it
+doesn't scale yet. If you want to enable and test the endpoint mapper
+you can set "rpc_server:epmapper = daemon" in the smb.conf file.
+
+
+Internal restructuring
+----------------------
+
+Ongoing internal restructuring for better separation of internal subsystem to
+achieve a faster build, smaller binaries and cleaner dependencies for the samba3
+waf build.
+
+
+SMB Traffic Analyzer
+--------------------
+
+Added the new SMB Traffic Analyzer (SMBTA) VFS module protocol 2
+featuring encryption, multiple arguments, and easier parseability. A new
+tool 'smbta-util' has been created to control the encryption behaviour
+of SMBTA. For compatibility, SMBTA by default operates on version 1.
+There are programs consuming the data that the module sends.
+
+More information can be found on
+http://holger123.wordpress.com/smb-traffic-analyzer/
+
+
+NFS quota backend on Linux
+--------------------------
+
+A new nfs quota backend for Linux has been added that is based
+on the existing Solaris/FreeBSD implementation. This allows samba
+to communicate correct diskfree information for nfs imports that
+are re-exported as samba shares.
