+ Release Notes for Samba 3.3.2
+ March, 12 2009
+ =============================
-This is the first release candidate of Samba 3.3.0. This is *not*
-intended for production environments and is designed for testing
-purposes only. Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting
-system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/.
+This is the latest bugfix release release of the Samba 3.3 series.
-Major enhancements in Samba 3.3.0 include:

- o The destination "all" of smbcontrol does now affect all running
- daemons including nmbd and winbindd.
- o New 'net rpc vampire keytab' and 'net rpc vampire ldif' commands.
- o The 'net' utility can now use kerberos for joining and authentication.
-
- Libraries:
- o NetApi library implements various new calls for User- and Group
- Account Management.
-
-
-Configure changes
-=================
-
-The configure option "--with-libdir" has been removed. The library
-directory can still be specified by using the existing "--libdir" option.
-A new option "--with-modulesdir" has been added to allow the specification
-of a separate directory for the shared modules.
-
-
-Winbind idmap backend changes
-=============================
-
-The idmap configuration has changed with version 3.3 to something that
-allows a smoother upgrade path from pre-3.0.25 configurations that use
-"idmap backend". The reason for this change is that to many, also to Samba
-developers, the 3.0.25 style configuration with "idmap config" turned out
-to be very complex. Version 3.3 no longer deprecates the "idmap backend"
-parameter, instead with "idmap backend" the default idmap backend is
-specified.
-
-Accordingly, the "idmap config <domain> : default = yes" setting is no
-longer being looked at.
-
-The alloc backend defaults to the default backend, which should be able to
-allocate IDs. In the default distribution the tdb and ldap backends can
-allocate, the ad and rid backends can not. The idmap alloc range is now
-being set with the "old" parameters "idmap uid" and "idmap gid".
-
-The "idmap domains" parameter has been removed.
-
-
-winbind reconnect delay
-=======================
-
-This is a new parameter which specifies the number of seconds the Winbind
-daemon will wait between attempts to contact a Domain controller for a domain
-that is determined to be down or not contactable.
-
-
-Winbind's Name Aliasing
-=======================
-
-Name aliasing in Winbind is a feature that allows an administrator to
-map a fully qualified user or group name from a Windows domain to a
-convenient short name for Unix access. This is similar to the username
-map functionality supported by smbd but is primary intended for
-clients and servers making use of Winbind's PAM and NSS libraries.
-
-For example, the user "DOMAIN\fred" has been mapped to the Unix name
-"freddie".
-
- $ getent passwd "DOMAIN\fred"
- freddie:x:1000:1001:Fred Jones:/home/freddie:/bin/bash
-
- $ getent passwd freddie
- freddie:x:1000:1001:Fred Jones:/home/freddie:/bin/bash
-
-The name aliasing support is provided by individual nss_info plugins.
-For example, the new "adex" plugin reads the uid attribute from Active
-Directory to make a short login name to the fully qualified name.
-While the new "hash" module utilizes a local file to map "short_name
-= QUALIFIED\name". Both user and group name mapping is supported.
-Please refer to the "winbind nss info" option in smb.conf(5) and
-to individual plugin man pages for further details.
-
-
-idmap_hash
-==========
-
-The idmap_hash plugin provides similar support as the idmap_rid
-module. However, uids and gids are generated from the full domain
-SID using a hashing algorithm that maps the lower 19 bits from the user
-or group RID to bits 0 - 19 in the Unix id and hashes 96 bits from
-the domain SID to bits 20 - 30 in the Unix id. The result is a 31 bit
-uid or gid that is consistent across machines and provides support for
-trusted domains.
-
-Please refer to the idmap_hash(8) man page for more details.
-
-
-idmap_adex
-==========
-
-The adex idmap/nss_info plugin is an adaptation of the Likewise
-Enterprise plugin with support for OU based cells removed
-(since the Windows pieces to manage the cells are not available).
-
-This plugin supports
-
- * The RFC2307 schema for users and groups.
- * Connections to trusted domains
- * Global catalog searches
- * Cross forest trusts
- * User and group aliases
-
-Prerequisite: Add the following attributes to the Partial Attribute
-Set in global catalog:
-
- * uidNumber
- * uid
- * gidNumber
-
-A basic config using the current trunk code would look like:
-
-[global]
- idmap backend = adex
- idmap uid = 10000 - 29999
- idmap gid = 10000 - 29999
- winbind nss info = adex
-
- winbind normalize names = yes
- winbind refresh tickets = yes
- template homedir = /home/%D/%U
- template shell = /bin/bash
-
-Please refer to the idmap_adex(8) man page for more details.
+ * Fix "force group" (bug #6155).
+ * Fix saving of files on Samba share using MS Office 2007 (bug #6160).
+ * Fix guest authentication in setups with "security = share" and
+ "guest ok = yes" when Winbind is running.
+ * Fix corruptions of source path in tar mode of smbclient (bug #6161).
