---------------
-
-This is a pre-release of Samba 3.0 alpha0. This is NOT a stable
-release. Use at your own risk.
-
-The purpose of this alpha release is to get wider testing of the major
-new pieces of code in the current Samba 3.0 development tree. We are
-planning on ceasing development on the 2.2.x release of Samba very
-shortly and after that we will be concentrating on Samba 3.0. To
-reduce the time before the final Samba 3.0 release we need as many
-poeple as possible to start testing these alpha releases, and
-hopefully giving us some high quality feedback on what needs fixing.
-
-Note that Samba 3.0 is not anywhere near feature complete yet. There
-is a lot more coding we have planned, but unless we get what we have
-done already more widely tested we will have a hard time doing a
-stable release in a reasonable time frame.
-
-This release is also missing major pieces of documentation, and there
-are many parts of the docs that have not been updated to reflect the
-new options and features in 3.0.
+ WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.1pre3
+ November 14, 2003
+ ==============================
+
+This is a preview release of the Samba 3.0.1 code base and is
+provided for testing only. This release is *not* intended for
+production servers. Use at your own risk.
+
+There have been several bug fixes since the 3.0.0 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.
+
+
+######################################################################
+Changes
+#######
+Changes since 3.0.1pre2
+-----------------------
+
+Please refer to the CVS log for the SAMBA_3_0 branch for complete
+details:
+
+1) 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).
+2) Fix a problem with configure on *BSD systems. Make sure
+ we add -liconv etc to LDFLAGS.
+3) Fix core dump bug when "security = server" and the authentication
+ server goes away.
+4) Correct crash bug due to an empty munged dial string.
+5) Show files locked by a specific user (smbstatus -u 'user')
+ (bug 590).
+6) Fix bug preventing print jobs from display in the queue
+ monitor used by Windows NT and later clients (bug 660).
+7) 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).
+8) Fix a handful of potential memory leaks in the LDAP code used
+ by ldapsam[_compat] and the LDAP idmap backend.
+
+
+Changes since 3.0.1pre1
+-----------------------
+
+1) Match Samba 2.2 behavior; make ACB_NORMAL the default ACB value.
+2) Updated Japanese welcome file in SWAT.
+3) Fix to nt-time <-> unix-time functions reversible.
+4) Ensure that winbindd uses the the escaped DN when querying
+ an AD ldap server.
+5) Fix portability issues when compiling (bug 505, 550)
+6) Compile fix for tdbbackup when Samba needs to override
+ non-C99 compliant implementations of snprintf().
+7) Use @PICSUFFIX@ instead of .po in Makefile.in (bug 574).
+8) Make sure we break out of samsync loop on error.
+9) Ensure error code path doesn't free unmalloc()'d memory
+ (bug 628).
+10) Add configure test for krb5_keytab_entry keyblock vs key
+ member (bug 636).
+11) Fixed spinlocks.
+12) Modified testparm so that all output so all debug output goes
+ to stderr, and all file processing goes to stdout.
+13) Fix error return code for BUFFER_TOO_SMALL in smbcacls
+ and smbcquotas.
+14) Fix "NULL dest in safe_strcpy()" log message by ensuring that
+ we have a devmode before copying a string to the devicename.
+15) Support mapping REALM.COM\user to a local user account (without
+ running winbindd) for compatibility with 2.2.x release.
+16) Ensure we don't use mmap() on blacklisted systems.
+17) fixed a number of bugs and memory leaks in the AIX
+ winbindd shim
+18) Call initgroups() in SWAT before becomming the user so that
+ secondary group permissions can be used when writing to
+ smb.conf.
+19) Fix signing problems when reverse connecting back to a
+ client for printer notify
+20) Fix signing problems caused by a miss-sequence bug.
+21) Missing map in errormap for ERROR_MORE_DATA -> ERRDOS, ERRmoredata.
+ Fixes NEXUS tools running on Win9x clients (bug 64).
+22) Don't leave the domain field uninitialized in cli_lsa.c if some
+ SID could not be mapped.
+23) Fix segfault in mount.cifs helper when there is no options
+ specified during mount.
+24) Change the \n after the password prompt to go to tty instead
+ of stdout (bug 668).
+25) Stop net -P from prompting for machine account password (bug 451).
+26) Change in behavior to Not only change the effective uid but also
+ the real uid when becoming unprivileged.
+27) Cope with Exchange 5.5 cleartext pop password auth.
+28) New files for support of initshutdown pipe. Win2k doesn't
+ respond properly to all requests on the winreg pipe, so we need
+ to handle this new pipe (bug 534).
+29) Added more va_copy() checks in configure.in.
+30) Include fixes for libsmbclient build problems.
+31) Missing UNIX -> DOS codepage conversion in lanman.c.
+32) Allow DFMS-S filenames can now have arbitrary case (bug 667).
+33) Parameterize the listen backlog in smbd and make it larger by
+ default. A backlog of 5 is way too small these days.
+34) Check for an invalid fid before dereferencing the fsp pointer
+ (bug 696).
+35) Remove invalid memory frees and return codes in pdb_ldap.c.
+36) Prompt for password when invoking --set-auth-user and no
+ password is given.
+37) Bind the nmbd sending socket to the 'socket address'.
+38) Re-order link command for smbd, rpcclient and smbpasswd to ensure
+ $LDFLAGS occurs before any library specification (bug 661).
+39) Fix large number of printf() calls for 64-bit size_t.
+40) Fix AC_CHECK_MEMBER so that SLES8 does correctly finds the
+ keyblock in the krb5 structs.
+41) Remove #include <compat.h> in hopes to avoid problems with
+ apache header files.
+42) COrrect winbindd build problems on HP-UX 11
+43) Lowercase netgroups lookups (bug 703).
+44) Use the actual size of the buffer in strftime instead of a made
+ up value which just happens to be less than sizeof(fstring).
+ (bug 713).
+45) Add ldaplibs to pdbedit link line (bug 651).
+46) Fix crash bug in smbclient completion (bug 659).
+47) Fix packet length for browse list reply (bug 771).
+48) Fix coredump in cli_get_backup_list().

+54) Save LDFLAGS during iconv detection (bug 57).
+55) Run krb5 logins through the username map if the winbindd
+ lookup fails (bug 698).
+56) Add const for lp_set_name_resolve_order() to avoid compiler
+ warnings (bug 471).
+57) Add support for the %i macro in smb.conf to stand in for the for
+ the local IP address to which a client connected.
+58) Allow winbindd to match local accounts to domain SID when
+ 'winbind trusted domains only = yes' (bug 680).
+59) Remove code in idmap_ldap that searches the user suffix and group
+ suffix. It's not needed and provides inconsistent functionality
+ from the tdb backend.
+60) Patch to handle munged dial string for Windows 200 TSE.
+61) Correct the "smbldap_open: cannot access when not root error"

+Modified parameters
+ * mangled map (deprecated)
+
+Removed Parameters
+ * mangled stack (unused)

+
+ =======================================
+ The original 3.0.0 release notes follow
+ =======================================
+
Major new features:
-------------------
-- Active Directory support. This release is able to join a ADS realm
- as a member server and authenticate users using
- LDAP/kerberos. Please read ADS-HOWTO.txt in the release for a very
- rough guide on how to set this up.
+1) Active Directory support. Samba 3.0 is now able to
+ join a ADS realm as a member server and authenticate
+ users using LDAP/Kerberos.
+
+2) Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate UNICODE on the wire
+ and internally there is now a much better infrastructure for
+ multi-byte and UNICODE character sets.
+
+3) New authentication system. The internal authentication system
+ has been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are
+ internal, but the new auth system is also very configurable.
+
+4) New default filename mangling system.
+
+5) A new "net" command has been added. It is somewhat similar to
+ the "net" command in windows. Eventually we plan to replace
+ numerous other utilities (such as smbpasswd) with subcommands
+ in "net".
+
+6) Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
+ improves error handling a lot.
+
+7) Better Windows 2000/XP/2003 printing support including publishing
+ printer attributes in active directory.
-- Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate unicode on the wire and
- interally there is now a much better infrastructure for multi-byte
- and unicode character sets. You may need the "dos charset", "unix
- charset" and "display charset" options. The unicode support is not
- yet documented.
+8) New loadable module support for passdb backends and character
+ sets.
+
+9) New default dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance.
+
+10) Support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Samba
+ domain and maintaining user, group and domain SIDs.
+
+11) Support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
+ domain controllers.
+
+12) Initial support for a distributed Winbind architecture using
+ an LDAP directory for storing SID to uid/gid mappings.
+
+13) Major updates to the Samba documentation tree.
+
+14) Full support for client and server SMB signing to ensure
+ compatibility with default Windows 2003 security settings.
+
+15) Improvement of ACL mapping features based on code donated by
+ Andreas Grünbacher.
+
+
+Plus lots of other improvements!
+
+
+Additional Documentation
+------------------------
+
+Please refer to Samba documentation tree (included in the docs/
+subdirectory) for extensive explanations of installing, configuring
+and maintaining Samba 3.0 servers and clients. It is advised to
+begin with the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for overviews and specific
+tasks (the current book is up to approximately 400 pages) and to
+refer to the various man pages for information on individual options.
+
+We are very glad to be able to include the second edition of
+"Using Samba" by Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown
+(O'Reilly & Associates) in this release. The book is available
+on-line at http://samba.org/samba/docs/ and is included with
+the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). Thanks to the authors and
+publisher for making "Using Samba" under the GNU Free Documentation
+License.
+
+
+######################################################################
+Upgrading from a previous Samba 3.0 beta
+########################################
+
+Beginning with Samba 3.0.0beta3, the RID allocation functions
+have been moved into winbindd. Previously these were handled
+by each passdb backend. This means that winbindd must be running
+to automatically allocate RIDs for users and/or groups. Otherwise,
+smbd will use the 2.2 algorithm for generating new RIDs.
+
+If you are using 'passdb backend = tdbsam' with a previous Samba
+3.0 beta release (or possibly alpha), it may be necessary to
+move the RID_COUNTER entry from /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
+to winbindd_idmap.tdb. To do this:
+
+1) Ensure that winbindd_idmap.tdb exists (launch winbindd at least
+ once)
+2) build tdbtool by executing 'make tdbtool' in the source/tdb/
+ directory
+3) run: (note that 'tdb>' is the tool's prompt for input)
+
+ root# ./tdbtool /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
+ tdb> show RID_COUNTER
+ key 12 bytes
+ RID_COUNTER
+ data 4 bytes
+ [000] 0A 52 00 00 .R.
+
+ tdb> move RID_COUNTER /usr/local/samba/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb
+ ....
+ record moved
+
+If you are using 'passdb backend = ldapsam', it will be necessary to
+store idmap entries in the LDAP directory as well (i.e. idmap backend
+= ldap). Refer to the 'net idmap' command for more information on
+migrating SID<->UNIX id mappings from one backend to another.
+
+If the RID_COUNTER record does not exist, then these instructions are
+unneccessary and the new RID_COUNTER record will be correctly generated
+if needed.

+ service basis
+registry Read-only samba registry skeleton no
+ that provides support for exporting
+ various db tables via the winreg RPCs
+
+
+Changes in Behavior
+-------------------
-- New authentication system. The internal authentication system has
- been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are internal,
- but the new auth system is also very configurable. Not documented
- yet.
+The following issues are known changes in behavior between Samba 2.2 and
+Samba 3.0 that may affect certain installations of Samba.
+
+ 1) When operating as a member of a Windows domain, Samba 2.2 would
+ map any users authenticated by the remote DC to the 'guest account'
+ if a uid could not be obtained via the getpwnam() call. Samba 3.0
+ rejects the connection as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. There is no
+ current work around to re-establish the 2.2 behavior.
+
+ 2) When adding machines to a Samba 2.2 controlled domain, the
+ 'add user script' was used to create the UNIX identity of the
+ machine trust account. Samba 3.0 introduces a new 'add machine
+ script' that must be specified for this purpose. Samba 3.0 will
+ not fall back to using the 'add user script' in the absence of
+ an 'add machine script'
+
+
+######################################################################
+Passdb Backends and Authentication
+##################################
+
+There have been a few new changes that Samba administrators should be
+aware of when moving to Samba 3.0.
+
+ 1) encrypted passwords have been enabled by default in order to
+ inter-operate better with out-of-the-box Windows client
+ installations. This does mean that either (a) a samba account
+ must be created for each user, or (b) 'encrypt passwords = no'
+ must be explicitly defined in smb.conf.
+
+ 2) Inclusion of new 'security = ads' option for integration
+ with an Active Directory domain using the native Windows
+ Kerberos 5 and LDAP protocols.
+
+ MIT kerberos 1.3.1 supports the ARCFOUR-HMAC-MD5 encryption
+ type which is neccessary for servers on which the
+ administrator password has not been changed, or kerberos-enabled
+ SMB connections to servers that require Kerberos SMB signing.
+ Besides this one difference, either MIT or Heimdal Kerberos
+ distributions are usable by Samba 3.0.
+
+
+Samba 3.0 also includes the possibility of setting up chains
+of authentication methods (auth methods) and account storage
+backends (passdb backend). Please refer to the smb.conf(5)
+man page for details. While both parameters assume sane default
+values, it is likely that you will need to understand what the
+values actually mean in order to ensure Samba operates correctly.
+
+The recommended passdb backends at this time are
+
+ * smbpasswd - 2.2 compatible flat file format
+ * tdbsam - attribute rich database intended as an smbpasswd
+ replacement for stand alone servers
+ * ldapsam - attribute rich account storage and retrieval
+ backend utilizing an LDAP directory.
+ * ldapsam_compat - a 2.2 backward compatible LDAP account
+ backend
+
+Certain functions of the smbpasswd(8) tool have been split between the
+new smbpasswd(8) utility, the net(8) tool, and the new pdbedit(8)
+utility. See the respective man pages for details.
+
+
+######################################################################
+LDAP
+####
+
+This section outlines the new features affecting Samba / LDAP
+integration.
+
+New Schema
+----------
+
+A new object class (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace
+the old sambaAccount. This change aids us in the renaming of attributes
+to prevent clashes with attributes from other vendors. There is a
+conversion script (examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to modify and LDIF
+file to the new schema.
+
+Example:
+
+ $ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." > old.ldif
+ $ convertSambaAccount <DOM SID> old.ldif new.ldif
+
+The <DOM SID> can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid <DOMAINNAME>'
+on the Samba PDC as root.
+
+The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
+"ldapsam_compat" passdb backend. However, the sambaAccount and
+associated attributes have been moved to the historical section of
+the schema file and must be uncommented before use if needed.
+The 2.2 object class declaration for a sambaAccount has not changed
+in the 3.0 samba.schema file.
+
+Other new object classes and their uses include:
+
+ * sambaDomain - domain information used to allocate rids
+ for users and groups as necessary. The attributes are added
+ in 'ldap suffix' directory entry automatically if
+ an idmap uid/gid range has been set and the 'ldapsam'
+ passdb backend has been selected.
+
+ * sambaGroupMapping - an object representing the
+ relationship between a posixGroup and a Windows
+ group/SID. These entries are stored in the 'ldap
+ group suffix' and managed by the 'net groupmap' command.
+
+ * sambaUnixIdPool - created in the 'ldap idmap suffix' entry
+ automatically and contains the next available 'idmap uid' and
+ 'idmap gid'
+
+ * sambaIdmapEntry - object storing a mapping between a
+ SID and a UNIX uid/gid. These objects are created by the
+ idmap_ldap module as needed.
+
+ * sambaSidEntry - object representing a SID alone, as a Structural
+ class on which to build the sambaIdmapEntry.
+
+
+New Suffix for Searching
+------------------------
+
+The following new smb.conf parameters have been added to aid in directing
+certain LDAP queries when 'passdb backend = ldapsam://...' has been
+specified.
+
+ * ldap suffix - used to search for user and computer accounts
+ * ldap user suffix - used to store user accounts
+ * ldap machine suffix - used to store machine trust accounts
+ * ldap group suffix - location of posixGroup/sambaGroupMapping entries
+ * ldap idmap suffix - location of sambaIdmapEntry objects
+
+If an 'ldap suffix' is defined, it will be appended to all of the
+remaining sub-suffix parameters. In this case, the order of the suffix
+listings in smb.conf is important. Always place the 'ldap suffix' first
+in the list.
+
+Due to a limitation in Samba's smb.conf parsing, you should not surround
+the DN's with quotation marks.
+
+
+IdMap LDAP support
+------------------
+
+Samba 3.0 supports an ldap backend for the idmap subsystem. The
+following options would inform Samba that the idmap table should be
+stored on the directory server onterose in the "ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,
+dc=org" partition.
+
+ [global]
+ ...
+ idmap backend = ldap:ldap://onterose/
+ ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,dc=org
+ idmap uid = 40000-50000
+ idmap gid = 40000-50000
+
+This configuration allows winbind installations on multiple servers to
+share a uid/gid number space, thus avoiding the interoperability problems
+with NFS that were present in Samba 2.2.
+
+
+
+######################################################################
+Trust Relationships and a Samba Domain
+######################################
+
+Samba 3.0.0beta2 is able to utilize winbindd as the means of
+allocating uids and gids to trusted users and groups. More
+information regarding Samba's support for establishing trust
+relationships can be found in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection included
+in the docs/ directory of this release.
+
+First create your Samba PDC and ensure that everything is
+working correctly before moving on the trusts.
+
+To establish Samba as the trusting domain (named SAMBA) from a Windows NT
+4.0 domain named WINDOWS:
+
+ 1) create the trust account for SAMBA in "User Manager for Domains"
+ 2) connect the trust from the Samba domain using
+ 'net rpc trustdom establish GLASS'
+
+To create a trustlationship with SAMBA as the trusted domain:
+
+ 1) create the initial trust account for GLASS using
+ 'smbpasswd -a -i GLASS'. You may need to create a UNIX
+ account for GLASS$ prior to this step (depending on your
+ local configuration).
+ 2) connect the trust from a WINDOWS DC using "User Manager
+ for Domains"
+
+Now join winbindd on the Samba PDC to the SAMBA domain using
+the normal steps for adding a Samba server to an NT4 domain:
+(note that smbd & nmbd must be running at this point)
+
+ root# net rpc join -U root
+ Password: <enter root password from smbpasswd file here>
+
+Start winbindd and test the join with 'wbinfo -t'.
+
+Now test the trust relationship by connecting to the SAMBA DC
+(e.g. POGO) as a user from the WINDOWS domain:
+
+ $ smbclient //pogo/netlogon -U Administrator -W WINDOWS
+ Password:
+
+Now connect to the WINDOWS DC (e.g. CRYSTAL) as a Samba user:
-- new filename mangling system. The filename mangling system has been
- completely rewritten. An internal database now stores mangling maps
- persistantly. This needs lots of testing.
+ $ smbclient //crystal/netlogon -U root -W WINDOWS
+ Password:
-- new "net" command. A new "net" command has been added. It is
- somewhat similar to the "net" command in windows. Eventually we plan
- to replace a bunch of other utilities (such as smbpasswd) with
- subcommands in "net", at the moment only a few things are
- implemented.
+######################################################################
+Changes in Winbind
+##################
-- Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
- improves error handling a lot.
+Beginning with Samba3.0.0beta3, winbindd has been given new account
+manage functionality equivalent to the 'add user script' family of
+smb.conf parameters. The idmap design has also been changed to
+centralize control of foreign SID lookups and matching to UNIX
+uids and gids.
-- better w2k printing support. The support for printing from win2000
- clients has improved greatly.
-Plus lots of other changes!
+Brief Description of Changes
+----------------------------
-Note that many new features are not documented. Don't let this stop
-you from using Samba 3.0. It is particularly important that the basic
-file/print serving abilities of Samba 3.0 are widely tested to ensure
-that we have not broken any of the basic functionality. As we do more
-alpha releases we will start to document the new features.
+1) The sid_to_uid() family of functions (smbd/uid.c) have been
+ reverted to the 2.2.x design. This means that when resolving a
+ SID to a UID or similar mapping:
+ a) First consult winbindd
+ b) perform a local lookup only if winbindd fails to
+ return a successful answer
+ There are some variations to this, but these two rules generally
+ apply.
+
+2) All idmap lookups have been moved into winbindd. This means that
+ a server must run winbindd (and support NSS) in order to achieve
+ any mappings of SID to dynamically allocated UNIX ids. This was
+ a conscious design choice.
+
+3) New functions have been added to winbindd to emulate the 'add user
+ script' family of smbd functions without requiring that external
+ scripts be defined. This functionality is controlled by the 'winbind
+ enable local accounts' smb.conf parameter (enabled by default).
+
+ However, this account management functionality is only supported
+ in a local tdb (winbindd_idmap.tdb). If these new UNIX accounts
+ must be shared among multiple Samba servers (such as a PDC and BDCs),
+ it will be necessary to define your own 'add user script', et. al.
+ programs that place the accounts/groups in some form of directory
+ such as NIS or LDAP. This requirement was deemed beyond the scope
+ of winbind's account management functions. Solutions for
+ distributing UNIX system information have been deployed and tested
+ for many years. We saw no need to reinvent the wheel.
+
+4) A member of a Samba controlled domain running winbindd is now able
+ to map domain users directly onto existing UNIX accounts while still
+ automatically creating accounts for trusted users and groups. This
+ behavior is controlled by the 'winbind trusted domains only' smb.conf
+ parameter (disabled by default to provide 2.2.x winbind behavior).
+
+5) Group mapping support is wrapped in the local_XX_to_XX() functions
+ in smbd/uid.c. The reason that group mappings are not included
+ in winbindd is because the purpose of Samba's group map is to
+ match any Windows SID with an existing UNIX group. These UNIX
+ groups can be created by winbindd (see next section), but the
+ SID<->gid mapping is retreived by smbd, not winbindd.
+
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+* security = server running winbindd to allocate accounts on demand
+
+* Samba PDC running winbindd to handle the automatic creation of UNIX
+ identities for machine trust accounts
+
+* Automtically creating UNIX user and groups when migrating a Windows NT
+ 4.0 PDC to a Samba PDC. Winbindd must be running when executing
+ 'net rpc vampire' for this to work.
