16 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.8
18 =============================
20 This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version
21 that production Samba servers should be running for all
22 current bug-fixes. There have been several important issues
23 fixes since the 3.0.7 release. See the "Changes" section for
24 details on exact updates.
26 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.8 include:
28 o Compile fixes for HP-UX
29 o Fixes for the printer publishing code used when joined to
31 o Incompatibilities with file system quotas.
32 o Several bugs in the spoolss printing code and print system
34 o Inconsistencies in the username map functionality when
35 configured on domain member servers.
36 o Various compile warnings and errors on various platforms.
37 o Fixes for kerberos interoperability with Windows 200x
38 domains when using DES keys.
39 o Fix for CAN-2004-0930 -- smbd remote DoS vulnerability.
42 New features included in the 3.0.8 release are:
44 o New migration functionality added the the net tool
45 for files/directories, printers, and shares.
46 o New experimental idmap backend for assigning uids/gids
47 directly based on the user/group RID when acting as a
48 member of single domain without any trusts.
49 o Additional printer migration support for XP/2003 platforms.
52 Change in Winbindd Behavior
53 ---------------------------
55 All usernames returned by winbindd are now converted to lower
56 case for better consistency. This means any winbind installation
57 relying on the winbind username will need to rename existing
58 directories and/or files based on the username (%u and %U) to lower
59 case (e.g. mv $name `echo $name | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`). This may
60 include mail spool files, home directories, valid user lines in
64 Change in Username Map
65 ----------------------
67 Previous Samba releases would only support reading the fully qualified
68 username (e.g. DOMAIN\user) from the username map when performing a
69 kerberos login from a client. However, when looking up a map
70 entry for a user authenticated by NTLM[SSP], only the login name would be
71 used for matches. This resulted in inconsistent behavior sometimes
72 even on the same server.
74 Samba 3.0.8 obeys the following rules when applying the username
77 * When performing local authentication, the username map is
78 applied to the login name before attempting to authenticate
80 * When relying upon a external domain controller for validating
81 authentication requests, smbd will apply the username map
82 to the fully qualified username (i.e. DOMAIN\user) only
83 after the user has been successfully authenticated.

697 o Support for maintaining user password history.
698 o Support for honoring the logon times for user in a
701 --------------------------------------------
702 unix extensions = yes (default) and symlinks
703 --------------------------------------------
705 Beginning with Samba 3.0.6pre1 (formerly known as 3.0.5pre1),
706 clients supporting the UNIX extensions to the CIFS protocol
707 can create symlinks to absolute paths which will be **followed**
708 by the server. This functionality has been requested in order
709 to correctly support certain applications when the user's home
710 directory is mounted using some type of CIFS client (e.g. the
711 cifsvfs in the Linux 2.6 kernel).
713 If this behavior is not acceptable for your production environment
714 you can set 'wide links = no' in the specific share declaration in
715 the server's smb.conf. Be aware that disabling wide link support
716 out of a share in Samba may impact the server's performance due
717 to the fact that smbd will now have to check each path additional
718 times before traversing it.
720 ------------------------
721 Password History Support
722 ------------------------
724 The new password history feature allows smbd to check the new
725 password in password change requests against a list of the user's
726 previous passwords. The number of previous passwords to save can
727 be set using pdbedit (4 in this example):
729 root# pdbedit -P "password history" -C 4
731 When using the ldapsam passdb backend, it is vital to secure the
732 following attributes from access by non-administrative users:
736 * sambaPasswordHistory
738 You should refer to your directory server's documentation on how
739 to implement this restriction.

1157 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.5
1159 =============================
1161 Please note that Samba 3.0.5 is identical to Samba 3.0.4 with
1162 the exception of correcting the two security issues outlined
1165 ######################## SECURITY RELEASE ########################
1167 Summary: Multiple Potential Buffer Overruns in Samba 3.0.x
1168 CVE ID: CAN-2004-0600, CAN-2004-0686
1169 (http://cve.mitre.org/)
1172 This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version
1173 that production Samba servers should be running for all current
1176 It has been confirmed that versions of Samba 3 prior to v3.0.4
1177 are vulnerable to two potential buffer overruns. The individual
1178 details are given below.
1184 Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.2 and later
1186 The internal routine used by the Samba Web Administration
1187 Tool (SWAT v3.0.2 and later) to decode the base64 data
1188 during HTTP basic authentication is subject to a buffer
1189 overrun caused by an invalid base64 character. It is
1190 recommended that all Samba v3.0.2 or later installations
1191 running SWAT either (a) upgrade to v3.0.5, or (b) disable
1192 the swat administration service as a temporary workaround.
1194 This same code is used internally to decode the
1195 sambaMungedDial attribute value when using the ldapsam
1196 passdb backend. While we do not believe that the base64
1197 decoding routines used by the ldapsam passdb backend can
1198 be exploited, sites using an LDAP directory service with
1199 Samba are strongly encouraged to verify that the DIT only
1200 allows write access to sambaSamAccount attributes by a
1201 sufficiently authorized user.
1203 The Samba Team would like to heartily thank Evgeny Demidov
1204 for analyzing and reporting this bug.
1210 Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.0 and later
1212 A buffer overrun has been located in the code used to support
1213 the 'mangling method = hash' smb.conf option. Please be aware
1214 that the default setting for this parameter is 'mangling method
1215 = hash2' and therefore not vulnerable.
1217 Affected Samba 3 installations can avoid this possible security
1218 bug by using the default hash2 mangling method. Server
1219 installations requiring the hash mangling method are encouraged
1220 to upgrade to Samba 3.0.5.

1795 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2a
1797 ==============================
1799 Samba 3.0.2a is a minor patch release for the 3.0.2 code base
1800 to address, in particular, a problem when using pdbedit to
1801 sanitize (--force-initialized-passwords) Samba's tdbsam
1802 backend. This is the latest stable release of Samba. This
1803 is the version that all production Samba servers should be
1804 running for all current bug-fixes.
1806 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
1808 Beginning with Samba 3.0.2, passwords for accounts with a last
1809 change time (LCT-XXX in smbpasswd, sambaPwdLastSet attribute in
1810 ldapsam, etc...) of zero (0) will be regarded as uninitialized
1811 strings. This will cause authentication to fail for such
1812 accounts. If you have valid passwords that meet this criteria,
1813 you must update the last change time to a non-zero value. If you
1814 do not, then 'pdbedit --force-initialized-passwords' will disable
1815 these accounts and reset the password hashes to a string of X's.
1817 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
1826 Please refer to the CVS log for the SAMBA_3_0 branch for complete
1827 details. The list of changes per contributor are as follows:
1830 o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
1831 * Added paranoia checks in parsing code.
1834 o Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org>
1835 * Ensure that changes to uninitialized passwords in ldapsam
1836 are written to the DIT.
1839 o Gerald (Jerry) Carter <jerry@samba.org>
1840 * Fixed iterator in tdbsam.
1841 * Fix bug that disabled accounts with a valid NT password
1842 hash, but no LanMan hash.
1845 o Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
1846 * Added missing nosetuid and noexec options.
1849 o Bostjan Golob <golob@gimb.org>
1850 * BUG 1046: Don't overwrite usernames of entries returned
1854 o Sebastian Krahmer <krahmer@suse.de>

1868 =============================
1869 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2
1871 =============================
1873 It has been confirmed that previous versions of Samba 3.0 are
1874 susceptible to a password initialization bug that could grant an
1875 attacker unauthorized access to a user account created by the
1876 mksmbpasswd.sh shell script.
1878 The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
1879 has assigned the name CAN-2004-0082 to this issue.
1881 Samba administrators not wishing to upgrade to the current
1882 version should download the 3.0.2 release, build the pdbedit
1885 root# pdbedit-3.0.2 --force-initialized-passwords
1887 This will disable all accounts not possessing a valid password
1888 (e.g. the password field has been set a string of X's).
1890 Samba servers running 3.0.2 are not vulnerable to this bug
1891 regardless of whether or not pdbedit has been used to sanitize
1894 Some of the more visible bugs in 3.0.1 addressed in the 3.0.2
1897 o Joining a Samba domain from Pre-SP2 Windows 2000 clients.
1898 o Logging onto a Samba domain from Windows XP clients.
1899 o Problems with the %U and %u smb.conf variables in relation to
1900 Windows 9x/ME clients.
1901 o Kerberos failures due to an invalid in memory keytab detection
1903 o Updates to the ntlm_auth tool.
1904 o Fixes for various SMB signing errors.
1905 o Better separation of WINS and DNS queries for domain controllers.
1906 o Issues with nss_winbind FreeBSD and Solaris.
1907 o Several crash bugs in smbd and winbindd.
1908 o Output formatting fixes for smbclient for better compatibility
1909 with scripts based on the 2.2 version.

2479 ######################################################################
2481 The original 3.0.0 release notes follow
2482 =======================================
2483 WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.0
2485 =======================================
2491 1) Active Directory support. Samba 3.0 is now able to
2492 join a ADS realm as a member server and authenticate
2493 users using LDAP/Kerberos.
2495 2) Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate UNICODE on the wire
2496 and internally there is now a much better infrastructure for
2497 multi-byte and UNICODE character sets.
2499 3) New authentication system. The internal authentication system
2500 has been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are
2501 internal, but the new auth system is also very configurable.
2503 4) New default filename mangling system.
2505 5) A new "net" command has been added. It is somewhat similar to
2506 the "net" command in windows. Eventually we plan to replace
2507 numerous other utilities (such as smbpasswd) with subcommands
2510 6) Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
2511 improves error handling a lot.
2513 7) Better Windows 2000/XP/2003 printing support including publishing
2514 printer attributes in active directory.
2516 8) New loadable module support for passdb backends and character
2519 9) New default dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance.
2521 10) Support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Samba
2522 domain and maintaining user, group and domain SIDs.
2524 11) Support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
2527 12) Initial support for a distributed Winbind architecture using
2528 an LDAP directory for storing SID to uid/gid mappings.
2530 13) Major updates to the Samba documentation tree.
2532 14) Full support for client and server SMB signing to ensure
2533 compatibility with default Windows 2003 security settings.
2535 15) Improvement of ACL mapping features based on code donated by
2536 Andreas Grünbacher.
2539 Plus lots of other improvements!
2542 Additional Documentation
2543 ------------------------
2545 Please refer to Samba documentation tree (included in the docs/
2546 subdirectory) for extensive explanations of installing, configuring
2547 and maintaining Samba 3.0 servers and clients. It is advised to
2548 begin with the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for overviews and specific
2549 tasks (the current book is up to approximately 400 pages) and to
2550 refer to the various man pages for information on individual options.
2552 We are very glad to be able to include the second edition of
2553 "Using Samba" by Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown
2554 (O'Reilly & Associates) in this release. The book is available
2555 on-line at http://samba.org/samba/docs/ and is included with
2556 the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). Thanks to the authors and
2557 publisher for making "Using Samba" under the GNU Free Documentation
2561 ######################################################################
2562 Upgrading from a previous Samba 3.0 beta
2563 ########################################
2565 Beginning with Samba 3.0.0beta3, the RID allocation functions
2566 have been moved into winbindd. Previously these were handled
2567 by each passdb backend. This means that winbindd must be running
2568 to automatically allocate RIDs for users and/or groups. Otherwise,
2569 smbd will use the 2.2 algorithm for generating new RIDs.
2571 If you are using 'passdb backend = tdbsam' with a previous Samba
2572 3.0 beta release (or possibly alpha), it may be necessary to
2573 move the RID_COUNTER entry from /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
2574 to winbindd_idmap.tdb. To do this:
2576 1) Ensure that winbindd_idmap.tdb exists (launch winbindd at least
2578 2) build tdbtool by executing 'make tdbtool' in the source/tdb/
2580 3) run: (note that 'tdb>' is the tool's prompt for input)
2582 root# ./tdbtool /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
2583 tdb> show RID_COUNTER
2587 [000] 0A 52 00 00 .R.
2589 tdb> move RID_COUNTER /usr/local/samba/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb
2593 If you are using 'passdb backend = ldapsam', it will be necessary to
2594 store idmap entries in the LDAP directory as well (i.e. idmap backend
2595 = ldap). Refer to the 'net idmap' command for more information on
2596 migrating SID<->UNIX id mappings from one backend to another.
2598 If the RID_COUNTER record does not exist, then these instructions are
2599 unneccessary and the new RID_COUNTER record will be correctly generated

2781 ${lock directory}/*tdb before upgrading to Samba 3.0. Samba will
2782 upgrade databases as they are opened (if necessary), but downgrading
2783 from 3.0 to 2.2 is an unsupported path.
2785 Name Description Backup?
2786 ---- ----------- -------
2787 account_policy User policy settings yes
2788 gencache Generic caching db no
2789 group_mapping Mapping table from Windows yes
2790 groups/SID to unix groups
2791 winbindd_idmap ID map table from SIDS to UNIX yes
2793 namecache Name resolution cache entries no

2798 command' created on a per print
2800 registry Read-only samba registry skeleton no
2801 that provides support for exporting
2802 various db tables via the winreg RPCs
2808 The following issues are known changes in behavior between Samba 2.2 and
2809 Samba 3.0 that may affect certain installations of Samba.
2811 1) When operating as a member of a Windows domain, Samba 2.2 would
2812 map any users authenticated by the remote DC to the 'guest account'
2813 if a uid could not be obtained via the getpwnam() call. Samba 3.0
2814 rejects the connection as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. There is no
2815 current work around to re-establish the 2.2 behavior.
2817 2) When adding machines to a Samba 2.2 controlled domain, the
2818 'add user script' was used to create the UNIX identity of the
2819 machine trust account. Samba 3.0 introduces a new 'add machine
2820 script' that must be specified for this purpose. Samba 3.0 will
2821 not fall back to using the 'add user script' in the absence of
2822 an 'add machine script'
2825 ######################################################################
2826 Passdb Backends and Authentication
2827 ##################################
2829 There have been a few new changes that Samba administrators should be
2830 aware of when moving to Samba 3.0.
2832 1) encrypted passwords have been enabled by default in order to
2833 inter-operate better with out-of-the-box Windows client
2834 installations. This does mean that either (a) a samba account
2835 must be created for each user, or (b) 'encrypt passwords = no'
2836 must be explicitly defined in smb.conf.
2838 2) Inclusion of new 'security = ads' option for integration
2839 with an Active Directory domain using the native Windows
2840 Kerberos 5 and LDAP protocols.
2842 MIT kerberos 1.3.1 supports the ARCFOUR-HMAC-MD5 encryption
2843 type which is neccessary for servers on which the
2844 administrator password has not been changed, or kerberos-enabled
2845 SMB connections to servers that require Kerberos SMB signing.
2846 Besides this one difference, either MIT or Heimdal Kerberos
2847 distributions are usable by Samba 3.0.
2850 Samba 3.0 also includes the possibility of setting up chains
2851 of authentication methods (auth methods) and account storage
2852 backends (passdb backend). Please refer to the smb.conf(5)
2853 man page for details. While both parameters assume sane default
2854 values, it is likely that you will need to understand what the
2855 values actually mean in order to ensure Samba operates correctly.
2857 The recommended passdb backends at this time are
2859 * smbpasswd - 2.2 compatible flat file format
2860 * tdbsam - attribute rich database intended as an smbpasswd
2861 replacement for stand alone servers
2862 * ldapsam - attribute rich account storage and retrieval
2863 backend utilizing an LDAP directory.
2864 * ldapsam_compat - a 2.2 backward compatible LDAP account
2867 Certain functions of the smbpasswd(8) tool have been split between the
2868 new smbpasswd(8) utility, the net(8) tool, and the new pdbedit(8)
2869 utility. See the respective man pages for details.
2872 ######################################################################
2876 This section outlines the new features affecting Samba / LDAP
2882 A new object class (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace
2883 the old sambaAccount. This change aids us in the renaming of
2884 attributes to prevent clashes with attributes from other vendors.
2885 There is a conversion script (examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to
2886 modify and LDIF file to the new schema.
2890 $ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." > sambaAcct.ldif
2891 $ convertSambaAccount --sid=<Domain SID> \
2892 --input=sambaAcct.ldif --output=sambaSamAcct.ldif \
2893 --changetype=[modify|add]
2895 The <DOM SID> can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid
2896 <DOMAINNAME>' on the Samba PDC as root. The changetype determines
2897 the format of the generated LDIF output--either create new entries
2898 or modify existing entries.
2900 The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
2901 "ldapsam_compat" passdb backend. However, the sambaAccount and
2902 associated attributes have been moved to the historical section of
2903 the schema file and must be uncommented before use if needed.
2904 The 2.2 object class declaration for a sambaAccount has not changed
2905 in the 3.0 samba.schema file.
2907 Other new object classes and their uses include:
2909 * sambaDomain - domain information used to allocate rids
2910 for users and groups as necessary. The attributes are added
2911 in 'ldap suffix' directory entry automatically if
2912 an idmap uid/gid range has been set and the 'ldapsam'
2913 passdb backend has been selected.
2915 * sambaGroupMapping - an object representing the
2916 relationship between a posixGroup and a Windows
2917 group/SID. These entries are stored in the 'ldap
2918 group suffix' and managed by the 'net groupmap' command.
2920 * sambaUnixIdPool - created in the 'ldap idmap suffix' entry
2921 automatically and contains the next available 'idmap uid' and
2924 * sambaIdmapEntry - object storing a mapping between a
2925 SID and a UNIX uid/gid. These objects are created by the
2926 idmap_ldap module as needed.
2928 * sambaSidEntry - object representing a SID alone, as a Structural
2929 class on which to build the sambaIdmapEntry.
2932 New Suffix for Searching
2933 ------------------------
2935 The following new smb.conf parameters have been added to aid in directing
2936 certain LDAP queries when 'passdb backend = ldapsam://...' has been
2939 * ldap suffix - used to search for user and computer accounts
2940 * ldap user suffix - used to store user accounts
2941 * ldap machine suffix - used to store machine trust accounts
2942 * ldap group suffix - location of posixGroup/sambaGroupMapping entries
2943 * ldap idmap suffix - location of sambaIdmapEntry objects
2945 If an 'ldap suffix' is defined, it will be appended to all of the
2946 remaining sub-suffix parameters. In this case, the order of the suffix
2947 listings in smb.conf is important. Always place the 'ldap suffix' first
2950 Due to a limitation in Samba's smb.conf parsing, you should not surround
2951 the DN's with quotation marks.
2957 Samba 3.0 supports an ldap backend for the idmap subsystem. The
2958 following options would inform Samba that the idmap table should be
2959 stored on the directory server onterose in the "ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,
2964 idmap backend = ldap:ldap://onterose/
2965 ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,dc=org
2966 idmap uid = 40000-50000
2967 idmap gid = 40000-50000
2969 This configuration allows winbind installations on multiple servers to
2970 share a uid/gid number space, thus avoiding the interoperability problems
2971 with NFS that were present in Samba 2.2.
2975 ######################################################################
2976 Trust Relationships and a Samba Domain
2977 ######################################
2979 Samba 3.0.0beta2 is able to utilize winbindd as the means of
2980 allocating uids and gids to trusted users and groups. More
2981 information regarding Samba's support for establishing trust
2982 relationships can be found in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection included
2983 in the docs/ directory of this release.
2985 First create your Samba PDC and ensure that everything is
2986 working correctly before moving on the trusts.
2988 To establish Samba as the trusting domain (named SAMBA) from a Windows NT
2989 4.0 domain named WINDOWS:
2991 1) create the trust account for SAMBA in "User Manager for Domains"
2992 2) connect the trust from the Samba domain using
2993 'net rpc trustdom establish GLASS'
2995 To create a trustlationship with SAMBA as the trusted domain:
2997 1) create the initial trust account for GLASS using
2998 'smbpasswd -a -i GLASS'. You may need to create a UNIX
2999 account for GLASS$ prior to this step (depending on your
3000 local configuration).
3001 2) connect the trust from a WINDOWS DC using "User Manager
3004 Now join winbindd on the Samba PDC to the SAMBA domain using
3005 the normal steps for adding a Samba server to an NT4 domain:
3006 (note that smbd & nmbd must be running at this point)
3008 root# net rpc join -U root
3009 Password: <enter root password from smbpasswd file here>
3011 Start winbindd and test the join with 'wbinfo -t'.
3013 Now test the trust relationship by connecting to the SAMBA DC
3014 (e.g. POGO) as a user from the WINDOWS domain:
3016 $ smbclient //pogo/netlogon -U Administrator -W WINDOWS
3019 Now connect to the WINDOWS DC (e.g. CRYSTAL) as a Samba user:
3021 $ smbclient //crystal/netlogon -U root -W WINDOWS
3024 ######################################################################
3028 Beginning with Samba3.0.0beta3, winbindd has been given new account
3029 manage functionality equivalent to the 'add user script' family of
3030 smb.conf parameters. The idmap design has also been changed to
3031 centralize control of foreign SID lookups and matching to UNIX
3035 Brief Description of Changes
3036 ----------------------------
3038 1) The sid_to_uid() family of functions (smbd/uid.c) have been
3039 reverted to the 2.2.x design. This means that when resolving a
3040 SID to a UID or similar mapping:
3042 a) First consult winbindd
3043 b) perform a local lookup only if winbindd fails to
3044 return a successful answer
3046 There are some variations to this, but these two rules generally
3049 2) All idmap lookups have been moved into winbindd. This means that
3050 a server must run winbindd (and support NSS) in order to achieve
3051 any mappings of SID to dynamically allocated UNIX ids. This was
3052 a conscious design choice.
3054 3) New functions have been added to winbindd to emulate the 'add user
3055 script' family of smbd functions without requiring that external
3056 scripts be defined. This functionality is controlled by the 'winbind
3057 enable local accounts' smb.conf parameter (enabled by default).
3059 However, this account management functionality is only supported
3060 in a local tdb (winbindd_idmap.tdb). If these new UNIX accounts
3061 must be shared among multiple Samba servers (such as a PDC and BDCs),
3062 it will be necessary to define your own 'add user script', et. al.
3063 programs that place the accounts/groups in some form of directory
3064 such as NIS or LDAP. This requirement was deemed beyond the scope
3065 of winbind's account management functions. Solutions for
3066 distributing UNIX system information have been deployed and tested
3067 for many years. We saw no need to reinvent the wheel.
3069 4) A member of a Samba controlled domain running winbindd is now able
3070 to map domain users directly onto existing UNIX accounts while still
3071 automatically creating accounts for trusted users and groups. This
3072 behavior is controlled by the 'winbind trusted domains only' smb.conf
3073 parameter (disabled by default to provide 2.2.x winbind behavior).
3075 5) Group mapping support is wrapped in the local_XX_to_XX() functions
3076 in smbd/uid.c. The reason that group mappings are not included
3077 in winbindd is because the purpose of Samba's group map is to
3078 match any Windows SID with an existing UNIX group. These UNIX
3079 groups can be created by winbindd (see next section), but the
3080 SID<->gid mapping is retreived by smbd, not winbindd.
3086 * security = server running winbindd to allocate accounts on demand
3088 * Samba PDC running winbindd to handle the automatic creation of UNIX
3089 identities for machine trust accounts
3091 * Automtically creating UNIX user and groups when migrating a Windows NT
3092 4.0 PDC to a Samba PDC. Winbindd must be running when executing
3093 'net rpc vampire' for this to work.
