236 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2a
238 ==============================
240 Samba 3.0.2a is a minor patch release for the 3.0.2 code base
241 to address, in particular, a problem when using pdbedit to
242 sanitize (--force-initialized-passwords) Samba's tdbsam
243 backend. This is the latest stable release of Samba. This
244 is the version that all production Samba servers should be
245 running for all current bug-fixes.
247 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
249 Beginning with Samba 3.0.2, passwords for accounts with a last
250 change time (LCT-XXX in smbpasswd, sambaPwdLastSet attribute in
251 ldapsam, etc...) of zero (0) will be regarded as uninitialized
252 strings. This will cause authentication to fail for such
253 accounts. If you have valid passwords that meet this criteria,
254 you must update the last change time to a non-zero value. If you
255 do not, then 'pdbedit --force-initialized-passwords' will disable
256 these accounts and reset the password hashes to a string of X's.
258 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
261 ######################################################################
271 Please refer to the CVS log for the SAMBA_3_0 branch for complete
272 details. The list of changes per contributor are as follows:
275 o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
276 * Added paranoia checks in parsing code.
279 o Andrew Bartlet <abartlet@samba.org>
280 * Ensure that changes to uninitialized passwords in ldapsam
281 are written to the DIT.
284 o Gerald (Jerry) Carter <jerry@samba.org>
285 * Fixed iterator in tdbsam.
286 * Fix bug that disabled accounts with a valid NT password
287 hash, but no LanMan hash.
290 o Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
291 * Added missing nosetuid and noexec options.
294 o Bostjan Golob <golob@gimb.org>
295 * BUG 1046: Don't overwrite usernames of entries returned
299 o Sebastian Krahmer <krahmer@suse.de>
300 * Fixed potential crash bug in NTLMSSP parsing code.
303 o Tim Potter <tpot@samba.org>
304 * Fixed logic in tdb_brlock error checking.
307 o Urban Widmark <urban@teststation.com>
308 * Set nosuid,nodev flags in smbmnt by default.

313 =============================
314 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2
316 =============================
318 It has been confirmed that previous versions of Samba 3.0 are
319 susceptible to a password initialization bug that could grant an
320 attacker unauthorized access to a user account created by the
321 mksmbpasswd.sh shell script.
323 The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
324 has assigned the name CAN-2004-0082 to this issue.
326 Samba administrators not wishing to upgrade to the current
327 version should download the 3.0.2 release, build the pdbedit
330 root# pdbedit-3.0.2 --force-initialized-passwords
332 This will disable all accounts not possessing a valid password
333 (e.g. the password field has been set a string of X's).
335 Samba servers running 3.0.2 are not vulnerable to this bug
336 regardless of whether or not pdbedit has been used to sanitize
339 Some of the more visible bugs in 3.0.1 addressed in the 3.0.2
342 o Joining a Samba domain from Pre-SP2 Windows 2000 clients.
343 o Logging onto a Samba domain from Windows XP clients.
344 o Problems with the %U and %u smb.conf variables in relation to
345 Windows 9x/ME clients.
346 o Kerberos failures due to an invalid in memory keytab detection
348 o Updates to the ntlm_auth tool.
349 o Fixes for various SMB signing errors.
350 o Better separation of WINS and DNS queries for domain controllers.

798 o Patch to handle munged dial string for Windows 2000 TSE.
799 Thanks to Gaz de France, Direction de la Recherche, Service
800 Informatique Métier for their supporting this work by Aurelien

831 know the winbindd pipe protocol.
832 o Adds a variant of the winbindd_getgroups() call called
833 winbindd_getusersids() that provides direct SID->SIDs listing of
834 a users supplementary groups. This is enough to allow non-Samba
835 applications to do ACL checking.

926 The original 3.0.0 release notes follow
927 =======================================
928 WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.0
930 =======================================
936 1) Active Directory support. Samba 3.0 is now able to
937 join a ADS realm as a member server and authenticate
938 users using LDAP/Kerberos.
940 2) Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate UNICODE on the wire
941 and internally there is now a much better infrastructure for
942 multi-byte and UNICODE character sets.
944 3) New authentication system. The internal authentication system
945 has been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are
946 internal, but the new auth system is also very configurable.
948 4) New default filename mangling system.
950 5) A new "net" command has been added. It is somewhat similar to
951 the "net" command in windows. Eventually we plan to replace
952 numerous other utilities (such as smbpasswd) with subcommands
955 6) Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
956 improves error handling a lot.
958 7) Better Windows 2000/XP/2003 printing support including publishing
959 printer attributes in active directory.
961 8) New loadable module support for passdb backends and character
964 9) New default dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance.
966 10) Support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Samba
967 domain and maintaining user, group and domain SIDs.
969 11) Support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
972 12) Initial support for a distributed Winbind architecture using
973 an LDAP directory for storing SID to uid/gid mappings.
975 13) Major updates to the Samba documentation tree.
977 14) Full support for client and server SMB signing to ensure
978 compatibility with default Windows 2003 security settings.
980 15) Improvement of ACL mapping features based on code donated by
984 Plus lots of other improvements!
987 Additional Documentation
988 ------------------------
990 Please refer to Samba documentation tree (included in the docs/
991 subdirectory) for extensive explanations of installing, configuring
992 and maintaining Samba 3.0 servers and clients. It is advised to
993 begin with the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for overviews and specific
994 tasks (the current book is up to approximately 400 pages) and to
995 refer to the various man pages for information on individual options.
997 We are very glad to be able to include the second edition of
998 "Using Samba" by Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown
999 (O'Reilly & Associates) in this release. The book is available
1000 on-line at http://samba.org/samba/docs/ and is included with
1001 the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). Thanks to the authors and
1002 publisher for making "Using Samba" under the GNU Free Documentation
1006 ######################################################################
1007 Upgrading from a previous Samba 3.0 beta
1008 ########################################
1010 Beginning with Samba 3.0.0beta3, the RID allocation functions
1011 have been moved into winbindd. Previously these were handled
1012 by each passdb backend. This means that winbindd must be running
1013 to automatically allocate RIDs for users and/or groups. Otherwise,
1014 smbd will use the 2.2 algorithm for generating new RIDs.
1016 If you are using 'passdb backend = tdbsam' with a previous Samba
1017 3.0 beta release (or possibly alpha), it may be necessary to
1018 move the RID_COUNTER entry from /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
1019 to winbindd_idmap.tdb. To do this:
1021 1) Ensure that winbindd_idmap.tdb exists (launch winbindd at least
1023 2) build tdbtool by executing 'make tdbtool' in the source/tdb/
1025 3) run: (note that 'tdb>' is the tool's prompt for input)
1027 root# ./tdbtool /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
1028 tdb> show RID_COUNTER
1032 [000] 0A 52 00 00 .R.
1034 tdb> move RID_COUNTER /usr/local/samba/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb
1038 If you are using 'passdb backend = ldapsam', it will be necessary to
1039 store idmap entries in the LDAP directory as well (i.e. idmap backend
1040 = ldap). Refer to the 'net idmap' command for more information on
1041 migrating SID<->UNIX id mappings from one backend to another.
1043 If the RID_COUNTER record does not exist, then these instructions are
1044 unneccessary and the new RID_COUNTER record will be correctly generated

1224 This section contains brief descriptions of any new databases
1225 introduced in Samba 3.0. Please remember to backup your existing
1226 ${lock directory}/*tdb before upgrading to Samba 3.0. Samba will
1227 upgrade databases as they are opened (if necessary), but downgrading
1228 from 3.0 to 2.2 is an unsupported path.
1230 Name Description Backup?
1231 ---- ----------- -------
1232 account_policy User policy settings yes
1233 gencache Generic caching db no
1234 group_mapping Mapping table from Windows yes
1235 groups/SID to unix groups
1236 winbindd_idmap ID map table from SIDS to UNIX yes
1238 namecache Name resolution cache entries no
1239 netsamlogon_cache Cache of NET_USER_INFO_3 structure no
1240 returned as part of a successful

1243 command' created on a per print
1245 registry Read-only samba registry skeleton no
1246 that provides support for exporting
1247 various db tables via the winreg RPCs
1253 The following issues are known changes in behavior between Samba 2.2 and
1254 Samba 3.0 that may affect certain installations of Samba.
1256 1) When operating as a member of a Windows domain, Samba 2.2 would
1257 map any users authenticated by the remote DC to the 'guest account'
1258 if a uid could not be obtained via the getpwnam() call. Samba 3.0
1259 rejects the connection as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. There is no
1260 current work around to re-establish the 2.2 behavior.
1262 2) When adding machines to a Samba 2.2 controlled domain, the
1263 'add user script' was used to create the UNIX identity of the
1264 machine trust account. Samba 3.0 introduces a new 'add machine
1265 script' that must be specified for this purpose. Samba 3.0 will
1266 not fall back to using the 'add user script' in the absence of
1267 an 'add machine script'
1270 ######################################################################
1271 Passdb Backends and Authentication
1272 ##################################
1274 There have been a few new changes that Samba administrators should be
1275 aware of when moving to Samba 3.0.
1277 1) encrypted passwords have been enabled by default in order to
1278 inter-operate better with out-of-the-box Windows client
1279 installations. This does mean that either (a) a samba account
1280 must be created for each user, or (b) 'encrypt passwords = no'
1281 must be explicitly defined in smb.conf.
1283 2) Inclusion of new 'security = ads' option for integration
1284 with an Active Directory domain using the native Windows
1285 Kerberos 5 and LDAP protocols.
1287 MIT kerberos 1.3.1 supports the ARCFOUR-HMAC-MD5 encryption
1288 type which is neccessary for servers on which the
1289 administrator password has not been changed, or kerberos-enabled
1290 SMB connections to servers that require Kerberos SMB signing.
1291 Besides this one difference, either MIT or Heimdal Kerberos
1292 distributions are usable by Samba 3.0.
1295 Samba 3.0 also includes the possibility of setting up chains
1296 of authentication methods (auth methods) and account storage
1297 backends (passdb backend). Please refer to the smb.conf(5)
1298 man page for details. While both parameters assume sane default
1299 values, it is likely that you will need to understand what the
1300 values actually mean in order to ensure Samba operates correctly.
1302 The recommended passdb backends at this time are
1304 * smbpasswd - 2.2 compatible flat file format
1305 * tdbsam - attribute rich database intended as an smbpasswd
1306 replacement for stand alone servers
1307 * ldapsam - attribute rich account storage and retrieval
1308 backend utilizing an LDAP directory.
1309 * ldapsam_compat - a 2.2 backward compatible LDAP account
1312 Certain functions of the smbpasswd(8) tool have been split between the
1313 new smbpasswd(8) utility, the net(8) tool, and the new pdbedit(8)
1314 utility. See the respective man pages for details.
1317 ######################################################################
1321 This section outlines the new features affecting Samba / LDAP
1327 A new object class (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace
1328 the old sambaAccount. This change aids us in the renaming of
1329 attributes to prevent clashes with attributes from other vendors.
1330 There is a conversion script (examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to
1331 modify and LDIF file to the new schema.
1335 $ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." > sambaAcct.ldif
1336 $ convertSambaAccount --sid=<Domain SID> \
1337 --input=sambaAcct.ldif --output=sambaSamAcct.ldif \
1338 --changetype=[modify|add]
1340 The <DOM SID> can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid
1341 <DOMAINNAME>' on the Samba PDC as root. The changetype determines
1342 the format of the generated LDIF output--either create new entries
1343 or modify existing entries.
1345 The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
1346 "ldapsam_compat" passdb backend. However, the sambaAccount and
1347 associated attributes have been moved to the historical section of
1348 the schema file and must be uncommented before use if needed.
1349 The 2.2 object class declaration for a sambaAccount has not changed
1350 in the 3.0 samba.schema file.
1352 Other new object classes and their uses include:
1354 * sambaDomain - domain information used to allocate rids
1355 for users and groups as necessary. The attributes are added
1356 in 'ldap suffix' directory entry automatically if
1357 an idmap uid/gid range has been set and the 'ldapsam'
1358 passdb backend has been selected.
1360 * sambaGroupMapping - an object representing the
1361 relationship between a posixGroup and a Windows
1362 group/SID. These entries are stored in the 'ldap
1363 group suffix' and managed by the 'net groupmap' command.
1365 * sambaUnixIdPool - created in the 'ldap idmap suffix' entry
1366 automatically and contains the next available 'idmap uid' and
1369 * sambaIdmapEntry - object storing a mapping between a
1370 SID and a UNIX uid/gid. These objects are created by the
1371 idmap_ldap module as needed.
1373 * sambaSidEntry - object representing a SID alone, as a Structural
1374 class on which to build the sambaIdmapEntry.
1377 New Suffix for Searching
1378 ------------------------
1380 The following new smb.conf parameters have been added to aid in directing
1381 certain LDAP queries when 'passdb backend = ldapsam://...' has been
1384 * ldap suffix - used to search for user and computer accounts
1385 * ldap user suffix - used to store user accounts
1386 * ldap machine suffix - used to store machine trust accounts
1387 * ldap group suffix - location of posixGroup/sambaGroupMapping entries
1388 * ldap idmap suffix - location of sambaIdmapEntry objects
1390 If an 'ldap suffix' is defined, it will be appended to all of the
1391 remaining sub-suffix parameters. In this case, the order of the suffix
1392 listings in smb.conf is important. Always place the 'ldap suffix' first
1395 Due to a limitation in Samba's smb.conf parsing, you should not surround
1396 the DN's with quotation marks.
1402 Samba 3.0 supports an ldap backend for the idmap subsystem. The
1403 following options would inform Samba that the idmap table should be
1404 stored on the directory server onterose in the "ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,
1409 idmap backend = ldap:ldap://onterose/
1410 ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,dc=org
1411 idmap uid = 40000-50000
1412 idmap gid = 40000-50000
1414 This configuration allows winbind installations on multiple servers to
1415 share a uid/gid number space, thus avoiding the interoperability problems
1416 with NFS that were present in Samba 2.2.

1421 Trust Relationships and a Samba Domain
1422 ######################################
1424 Samba 3.0.0beta2 is able to utilize winbindd as the means of
1425 allocating uids and gids to trusted users and groups. More
1426 information regarding Samba's support for establishing trust
1427 relationships can be found in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection included
1428 in the docs/ directory of this release.
1430 First create your Samba PDC and ensure that everything is
1431 working correctly before moving on the trusts.
1433 To establish Samba as the trusting domain (named SAMBA) from a Windows NT
1434 4.0 domain named WINDOWS:
1436 1) create the trust account for SAMBA in "User Manager for Domains"
1437 2) connect the trust from the Samba domain using
1438 'net rpc trustdom establish GLASS'
1440 To create a trustlationship with SAMBA as the trusted domain:
1442 1) create the initial trust account for GLASS using
1443 'smbpasswd -a -i GLASS'. You may need to create a UNIX
1444 account for GLASS$ prior to this step (depending on your
1445 local configuration).
1446 2) connect the trust from a WINDOWS DC using "User Manager
1449 Now join winbindd on the Samba PDC to the SAMBA domain using
1450 the normal steps for adding a Samba server to an NT4 domain:
1451 (note that smbd & nmbd must be running at this point)
1453 root# net rpc join -U root
1454 Password: <enter root password from smbpasswd file here>
1456 Start winbindd and test the join with 'wbinfo -t'.
1458 Now test the trust relationship by connecting to the SAMBA DC
1459 (e.g. POGO) as a user from the WINDOWS domain:
1461 $ smbclient //pogo/netlogon -U Administrator -W WINDOWS
1464 Now connect to the WINDOWS DC (e.g. CRYSTAL) as a Samba user:
1466 $ smbclient //crystal/netlogon -U root -W WINDOWS
1469 ######################################################################
1473 Beginning with Samba3.0.0beta3, winbindd has been given new account
1474 manage functionality equivalent to the 'add user script' family of
1475 smb.conf parameters. The idmap design has also been changed to
1476 centralize control of foreign SID lookups and matching to UNIX
1480 Brief Description of Changes
1481 ----------------------------
1483 1) The sid_to_uid() family of functions (smbd/uid.c) have been
1484 reverted to the 2.2.x design. This means that when resolving a
1485 SID to a UID or similar mapping:
1487 a) First consult winbindd
1488 b) perform a local lookup only if winbindd fails to
1489 return a successful answer
1491 There are some variations to this, but these two rules generally
1494 2) All idmap lookups have been moved into winbindd. This means that
1495 a server must run winbindd (and support NSS) in order to achieve
1496 any mappings of SID to dynamically allocated UNIX ids. This was
1497 a conscious design choice.
1499 3) New functions have been added to winbindd to emulate the 'add user
1500 script' family of smbd functions without requiring that external
1501 scripts be defined. This functionality is controlled by the 'winbind
1502 enable local accounts' smb.conf parameter (enabled by default).
1504 However, this account management functionality is only supported
1505 in a local tdb (winbindd_idmap.tdb). If these new UNIX accounts
1506 must be shared among multiple Samba servers (such as a PDC and BDCs),
1507 it will be necessary to define your own 'add user script', et. al.
1508 programs that place the accounts/groups in some form of directory
1509 such as NIS or LDAP. This requirement was deemed beyond the scope
1510 of winbind's account management functions. Solutions for
1511 distributing UNIX system information have been deployed and tested
1512 for many years. We saw no need to reinvent the wheel.
1514 4) A member of a Samba controlled domain running winbindd is now able
1515 to map domain users directly onto existing UNIX accounts while still
1516 automatically creating accounts for trusted users and groups. This
1517 behavior is controlled by the 'winbind trusted domains only' smb.conf
1518 parameter (disabled by default to provide 2.2.x winbind behavior).
1520 5) Group mapping support is wrapped in the local_XX_to_XX() functions
1521 in smbd/uid.c. The reason that group mappings are not included
1522 in winbindd is because the purpose of Samba's group map is to
1523 match any Windows SID with an existing UNIX group. These UNIX
1524 groups can be created by winbindd (see next section), but the
1525 SID<->gid mapping is retreived by smbd, not winbindd.
1531 * security = server running winbindd to allocate accounts on demand
1533 * Samba PDC running winbindd to handle the automatic creation of UNIX
1534 identities for machine trust accounts
1536 * Automtically creating UNIX user and groups when migrating a Windows NT
1537 4.0 PDC to a Samba PDC. Winbindd must be running when executing
1538 'net rpc vampire' for this to work.
