105 --------------------------------------------------
106 =============================
107 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.8
109 =============================
111 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.8 include:
113 o Compile fixes for HP-UX
114 o Fixes for the printer publishing code used when joined to
116 o Incompatibilities with file system quotas.
117 o Several bugs in the spoolss printing code and print system
119 o Inconsistencies in the username map functionality when
120 configured on domain member servers.
121 o Various compile warnings and errors on various platforms.
122 o Fixes for kerberos interoperability with Windows 200x
123 domains when using DES keys.
124 o Fix for CAN-2004-0930 -- smbd remote DoS vulnerability.
125 o Fix for CAN-2004-0882 -- possible buffer overrun in smbd.
128 New features included in the 3.0.8 release are:
130 o New migration functionality added the the net tool
131 for files/directories, printers, and shares.
132 o New experimental idmap backend for assigning uids/gids
133 directly based on the user/group RID when acting as a
134 member of single domain without any trusts.
135 o Additional printer migration support for XP/2003 platforms.
138 Change in Winbindd Behavior
139 ---------------------------
141 All usernames returned by winbindd are now converted to lower
142 case for better consistency. This means any winbind installation
143 relying on the winbind username will need to rename existing
144 directories and/or files based on the username (%u and %U) to lower
145 case (e.g. mv $name `echo $name | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`). This may
146 include mail spool files, home directories, valid user lines in
150 Change in Username Map
151 ----------------------
153 Previous Samba releases would only support reading the fully qualified
154 username (e.g. DOMAIN\user) from the username map when performing a
155 kerberos login from a client. However, when looking up a map
156 entry for a user authenticated by NTLM[SSP], only the login name would be
157 used for matches. This resulted in inconsistent behavior sometimes
158 even on the same server.
160 Samba 3.0.8 obeys the following rules when applying the username
163 * When performing local authentication, the username map is
164 applied to the login name before attempting to authenticate
166 * When relying upon a external domain controller for validating
167 authentication requests, smbd will apply the username map
168 to the fully qualified username (i.e. DOMAIN\user) only
169 after the user has been successfully authenticated.

712 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.6
714 =============================
716 Common bugs fixed in 3.0.6 include:
718 o Schannel failure in winbindd.
719 o Numerous memory leaks.
720 o Incompatibilities between the 'write list' and 'force user'
722 o Premature optimization of the open_directory() internal
723 function that broke tools such as the ArcServe backup
724 agent, Macromedia HomeSite, and Robocopy.
725 o Corrupt workgroup names in nmbd's browse.dat.
726 o Sharing violation errors commonly seen when opening
727 when serving Microsoft Office documents from a Samba
729 o Browsing problems caused by an apostrophe (') in the
730 computer's description field.
731 o Problems creating special file types from UNIX CIFS
732 clients and enabling 'unix extensions'.
733 o Fix stalls in smbd caused by inaccessible LDAP servers.
734 o Remove various memory leaks.
735 o Fix issues in the password lockout feature.
737 New features introduced in this release include:
739 O Support symlinks created by CIFS clients which
740 can be followed on the server.
741 o Using a cups server other than localhost.
742 o Maintaining the service principal entry in the system
743 keytab for integration with other kerberized services.
744 Please refer to the 'use kerberos keytab' entry in
745 smb.conf(5). When using the heimdal kerberos libraries,
746 you must also specify the following in /etc/krb5.conf:
748 default_keytab_name = FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab
749 o Support for maintaining individual printer names
750 stored separately from the printer's sharename.
751 o Support for maintaining user password history.
752 o Support for honoring the logon times for user in a
755 --------------------------------------------
756 unix extensions = yes (default) and symlinks
757 --------------------------------------------
759 Beginning with Samba 3.0.6pre1 (formerly known as 3.0.5pre1),
760 clients supporting the UNIX extensions to the CIFS protocol
761 can create symlinks to absolute paths which will be **followed**
762 by the server. This functionality has been requested in order
763 to correctly support certain applications when the user's home
764 directory is mounted using some type of CIFS client (e.g. the
765 cifsvfs in the Linux 2.6 kernel).
767 If this behavior is not acceptable for your production environment
768 you can set 'wide links = no' in the specific share declaration in
769 the server's smb.conf. Be aware that disabling wide link support
770 out of a share in Samba may impact the server's performance due
771 to the fact that smbd will now have to check each path additional
772 times before traversing it.
774 ------------------------
775 Password History Support
776 ------------------------
778 The new password history feature allows smbd to check the new
779 password in password change requests against a list of the user's
780 previous passwords. The number of previous passwords to save can
781 be set using pdbedit (4 in this example):
783 root# pdbedit -P "password history" -C 4
785 When using the ldapsam passdb backend, it is vital to secure the
786 following attributes from access by non-administrative users:
790 * sambaPasswordHistory
792 You should refer to your directory server's documentation on how
793 to implement this restriction.

1211 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.5
1213 =============================
1215 Please note that Samba 3.0.5 is identical to Samba 3.0.4 with
1216 the exception of correcting the two security issues outlined
1219 ######################## SECURITY RELEASE ########################
1221 Summary: Multiple Potential Buffer Overruns in Samba 3.0.x
1222 CVE ID: CAN-2004-0600, CAN-2004-0686
1223 (http://cve.mitre.org/)
1226 This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version
1227 that production Samba servers should be running for all current
1230 It has been confirmed that versions of Samba 3 prior to v3.0.4
1231 are vulnerable to two potential buffer overruns. The individual
1232 details are given below.
1238 Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.2 and later
1240 The internal routine used by the Samba Web Administration
1241 Tool (SWAT v3.0.2 and later) to decode the base64 data
1242 during HTTP basic authentication is subject to a buffer
1243 overrun caused by an invalid base64 character. It is
1244 recommended that all Samba v3.0.2 or later installations
1245 running SWAT either (a) upgrade to v3.0.5, or (b) disable
1246 the swat administration service as a temporary workaround.
1248 This same code is used internally to decode the
1249 sambaMungedDial attribute value when using the ldapsam
1250 passdb backend. While we do not believe that the base64
1251 decoding routines used by the ldapsam passdb backend can
1252 be exploited, sites using an LDAP directory service with
1253 Samba are strongly encouraged to verify that the DIT only
1254 allows write access to sambaSamAccount attributes by a
1255 sufficiently authorized user.
1257 The Samba Team would like to heartily thank Evgeny Demidov
1258 for analyzing and reporting this bug.
1264 Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.0 and later
1266 A buffer overrun has been located in the code used to support
1267 the 'mangling method = hash' smb.conf option. Please be aware
1268 that the default setting for this parameter is 'mangling method
1269 = hash2' and therefore not vulnerable.
1271 Affected Samba 3 installations can avoid this possible security
1272 bug by using the default hash2 mangling method. Server
1273 installations requiring the hash mangling method are encouraged
1274 to upgrade to Samba 3.0.5.

1849 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2a
1851 ==============================
1853 Samba 3.0.2a is a minor patch release for the 3.0.2 code base
1854 to address, in particular, a problem when using pdbedit to
1855 sanitize (--force-initialized-passwords) Samba's tdbsam
1856 backend. This is the latest stable release of Samba. This
1857 is the version that all production Samba servers should be
1858 running for all current bug-fixes.
1860 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
1862 Beginning with Samba 3.0.2, passwords for accounts with a last
1863 change time (LCT-XXX in smbpasswd, sambaPwdLastSet attribute in
1864 ldapsam, etc...) of zero (0) will be regarded as uninitialized
1865 strings. This will cause authentication to fail for such
1866 accounts. If you have valid passwords that meet this criteria,
1867 you must update the last change time to a non-zero value. If you
1868 do not, then 'pdbedit --force-initialized-passwords' will disable
1869 these accounts and reset the password hashes to a string of X's.
1871 ******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
1880 Please refer to the CVS log for the SAMBA_3_0 branch for complete
1881 details. The list of changes per contributor are as follows:
1884 o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
1885 * Added paranoia checks in parsing code.
1888 o Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org>
1889 * Ensure that changes to uninitialized passwords in ldapsam
1890 are written to the DIT.
1893 o Gerald (Jerry) Carter <jerry@samba.org>
1894 * Fixed iterator in tdbsam.
1895 * Fix bug that disabled accounts with a valid NT password
1896 hash, but no LanMan hash.
1899 o Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
1900 * Added missing nosetuid and noexec options.
1903 o Bostjan Golob <golob@gimb.org>
1904 * BUG 1046: Don't overwrite usernames of entries returned
1908 o Sebastian Krahmer <krahmer@suse.de>
1909 * Fixed potential crash bug in NTLMSSP parsing code.
1912 o Tim Potter <tpot@samba.org>
1913 * Fixed logic in tdb_brlock error checking.
1916 o Urban Widmark <urban@teststation.com>
1917 * Set nosuid,nodev flags in smbmnt by default.

1922 =============================
1923 Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2
1925 =============================
1927 It has been confirmed that previous versions of Samba 3.0 are
1928 susceptible to a password initialization bug that could grant an
1929 attacker unauthorized access to a user account created by the
1930 mksmbpasswd.sh shell script.
1932 The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
1933 has assigned the name CAN-2004-0082 to this issue.
1935 Samba administrators not wishing to upgrade to the current
1936 version should download the 3.0.2 release, build the pdbedit
1939 root# pdbedit-3.0.2 --force-initialized-passwords
1941 This will disable all accounts not possessing a valid password
1942 (e.g. the password field has been set a string of X's).
1944 Samba servers running 3.0.2 are not vulnerable to this bug

2441 o Adds a variant of the winbindd_getgroups() call called
2442 winbindd_getusersids() that provides direct SID->SIDs listing of
2443 a users supplementary groups. This is enough to allow non-Samba
2444 applications to do ACL checking.

2535 The original 3.0.0 release notes follow
2536 =======================================
2537 WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.0
2539 =======================================
2545 1) Active Directory support. Samba 3.0 is now able to
2546 join a ADS realm as a member server and authenticate
2547 users using LDAP/Kerberos.
2549 2) Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate UNICODE on the wire
2550 and internally there is now a much better infrastructure for
2551 multi-byte and UNICODE character sets.
2553 3) New authentication system. The internal authentication system
2554 has been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are
2555 internal, but the new auth system is also very configurable.
2557 4) New default filename mangling system.
2559 5) A new "net" command has been added. It is somewhat similar to
2560 the "net" command in windows. Eventually we plan to replace
2561 numerous other utilities (such as smbpasswd) with subcommands
2564 6) Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
2565 improves error handling a lot.
2567 7) Better Windows 2000/XP/2003 printing support including publishing
2568 printer attributes in active directory.
2570 8) New loadable module support for passdb backends and character
2573 9) New default dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance.
2575 10) Support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Samba
2576 domain and maintaining user, group and domain SIDs.
2578 11) Support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
2581 12) Initial support for a distributed Winbind architecture using
2582 an LDAP directory for storing SID to uid/gid mappings.
2584 13) Major updates to the Samba documentation tree.
2586 14) Full support for client and server SMB signing to ensure
2587 compatibility with default Windows 2003 security settings.
2589 15) Improvement of ACL mapping features based on code donated by
2590 Andreas Grünbacher.
2593 Plus lots of other improvements!
2596 Additional Documentation
2597 ------------------------
2599 Please refer to Samba documentation tree (included in the docs/
2600 subdirectory) for extensive explanations of installing, configuring
2601 and maintaining Samba 3.0 servers and clients. It is advised to
2602 begin with the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for overviews and specific
2603 tasks (the current book is up to approximately 400 pages) and to
2604 refer to the various man pages for information on individual options.
2606 We are very glad to be able to include the second edition of
2607 "Using Samba" by Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown
2608 (O'Reilly & Associates) in this release. The book is available
2609 on-line at http://samba.org/samba/docs/ and is included with
2610 the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). Thanks to the authors and
2611 publisher for making "Using Samba" under the GNU Free Documentation
2615 ######################################################################
2616 Upgrading from a previous Samba 3.0 beta
2617 ########################################
2619 Beginning with Samba 3.0.0beta3, the RID allocation functions
2620 have been moved into winbindd. Previously these were handled
2621 by each passdb backend. This means that winbindd must be running
2622 to automatically allocate RIDs for users and/or groups. Otherwise,
2623 smbd will use the 2.2 algorithm for generating new RIDs.
2625 If you are using 'passdb backend = tdbsam' with a previous Samba
2626 3.0 beta release (or possibly alpha), it may be necessary to
2627 move the RID_COUNTER entry from /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
2628 to winbindd_idmap.tdb. To do this:
2630 1) Ensure that winbindd_idmap.tdb exists (launch winbindd at least
2632 2) build tdbtool by executing 'make tdbtool' in the source/tdb/
2634 3) run: (note that 'tdb>' is the tool's prompt for input)
2636 root# ./tdbtool /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
2637 tdb> show RID_COUNTER
2641 [000] 0A 52 00 00 .R.
2643 tdb> move RID_COUNTER /usr/local/samba/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb
2647 If you are using 'passdb backend = ldapsam', it will be necessary to
2648 store idmap entries in the LDAP directory as well (i.e. idmap backend
2649 = ldap). Refer to the 'net idmap' command for more information on
2650 migrating SID<->UNIX id mappings from one backend to another.
2652 If the RID_COUNTER record does not exist, then these instructions are
2653 unneccessary and the new RID_COUNTER record will be correctly generated

2833 This section contains brief descriptions of any new databases
2834 introduced in Samba 3.0. Please remember to backup your existing
2835 ${lock directory}/*tdb before upgrading to Samba 3.0. Samba will
2836 upgrade databases as they are opened (if necessary), but downgrading
2837 from 3.0 to 2.2 is an unsupported path.
2839 Name Description Backup?
2840 ---- ----------- -------
2841 account_policy User policy settings yes
2842 gencache Generic caching db no
2843 group_mapping Mapping table from Windows yes
2844 groups/SID to unix groups
2845 winbindd_idmap ID map table from SIDS to UNIX yes
2847 namecache Name resolution cache entries no
2848 netsamlogon_cache Cache of NET_USER_INFO_3 structure no

2851 printing/*.tdb Cached output from 'lpq no
2852 command' created on a per print
2854 registry Read-only samba registry skeleton no
2855 that provides support for exporting
2856 various db tables via the winreg RPCs
2862 The following issues are known changes in behavior between Samba 2.2 and
2863 Samba 3.0 that may affect certain installations of Samba.
2865 1) When operating as a member of a Windows domain, Samba 2.2 would
2866 map any users authenticated by the remote DC to the 'guest account'
2867 if a uid could not be obtained via the getpwnam() call. Samba 3.0
2868 rejects the connection as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. There is no
2869 current work around to re-establish the 2.2 behavior.
2871 2) When adding machines to a Samba 2.2 controlled domain, the
2872 'add user script' was used to create the UNIX identity of the
2873 machine trust account. Samba 3.0 introduces a new 'add machine
2874 script' that must be specified for this purpose. Samba 3.0 will
2875 not fall back to using the 'add user script' in the absence of
2876 an 'add machine script'
2879 ######################################################################
2880 Passdb Backends and Authentication
2881 ##################################
2883 There have been a few new changes that Samba administrators should be
2884 aware of when moving to Samba 3.0.
2886 1) encrypted passwords have been enabled by default in order to
2887 inter-operate better with out-of-the-box Windows client
2888 installations. This does mean that either (a) a samba account
2889 must be created for each user, or (b) 'encrypt passwords = no'
2890 must be explicitly defined in smb.conf.
2892 2) Inclusion of new 'security = ads' option for integration
2893 with an Active Directory domain using the native Windows
2894 Kerberos 5 and LDAP protocols.
2896 MIT kerberos 1.3.1 supports the ARCFOUR-HMAC-MD5 encryption
2897 type which is neccessary for servers on which the
2898 administrator password has not been changed, or kerberos-enabled
2899 SMB connections to servers that require Kerberos SMB signing.
2900 Besides this one difference, either MIT or Heimdal Kerberos
2901 distributions are usable by Samba 3.0.
2904 Samba 3.0 also includes the possibility of setting up chains
2905 of authentication methods (auth methods) and account storage
2906 backends (passdb backend). Please refer to the smb.conf(5)
2907 man page for details. While both parameters assume sane default
2908 values, it is likely that you will need to understand what the
2909 values actually mean in order to ensure Samba operates correctly.
2911 The recommended passdb backends at this time are
2913 * smbpasswd - 2.2 compatible flat file format
2914 * tdbsam - attribute rich database intended as an smbpasswd
2915 replacement for stand alone servers
2916 * ldapsam - attribute rich account storage and retrieval
2917 backend utilizing an LDAP directory.
2918 * ldapsam_compat - a 2.2 backward compatible LDAP account
2921 Certain functions of the smbpasswd(8) tool have been split between the
2922 new smbpasswd(8) utility, the net(8) tool, and the new pdbedit(8)
2923 utility. See the respective man pages for details.
2926 ######################################################################
2930 This section outlines the new features affecting Samba / LDAP
2936 A new object class (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace
2937 the old sambaAccount. This change aids us in the renaming of
2938 attributes to prevent clashes with attributes from other vendors.
2939 There is a conversion script (examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to
2940 modify and LDIF file to the new schema.
2944 $ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." > sambaAcct.ldif
2945 $ convertSambaAccount --sid=<Domain SID> \
2946 --input=sambaAcct.ldif --output=sambaSamAcct.ldif \
2947 --changetype=[modify|add]
2949 The <DOM SID> can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid
2950 <DOMAINNAME>' on the Samba PDC as root. The changetype determines
2951 the format of the generated LDIF output--either create new entries
2952 or modify existing entries.
2954 The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
2955 "ldapsam_compat" passdb backend. However, the sambaAccount and
2956 associated attributes have been moved to the historical section of
2957 the schema file and must be uncommented before use if needed.
2958 The 2.2 object class declaration for a sambaAccount has not changed
2959 in the 3.0 samba.schema file.
2961 Other new object classes and their uses include:
2963 * sambaDomain - domain information used to allocate rids
2964 for users and groups as necessary. The attributes are added
2965 in 'ldap suffix' directory entry automatically if
2966 an idmap uid/gid range has been set and the 'ldapsam'
2967 passdb backend has been selected.
2969 * sambaGroupMapping - an object representing the
2970 relationship between a posixGroup and a Windows
2971 group/SID. These entries are stored in the 'ldap
2972 group suffix' and managed by the 'net groupmap' command.
2974 * sambaUnixIdPool - created in the 'ldap idmap suffix' entry
2975 automatically and contains the next available 'idmap uid' and
2978 * sambaIdmapEntry - object storing a mapping between a
2979 SID and a UNIX uid/gid. These objects are created by the
2980 idmap_ldap module as needed.
2982 * sambaSidEntry - object representing a SID alone, as a Structural
2983 class on which to build the sambaIdmapEntry.
2986 New Suffix for Searching
2987 ------------------------
2989 The following new smb.conf parameters have been added to aid in directing
2990 certain LDAP queries when 'passdb backend = ldapsam://...' has been
2993 * ldap suffix - used to search for user and computer accounts
2994 * ldap user suffix - used to store user accounts
2995 * ldap machine suffix - used to store machine trust accounts
2996 * ldap group suffix - location of posixGroup/sambaGroupMapping entries
2997 * ldap idmap suffix - location of sambaIdmapEntry objects
2999 If an 'ldap suffix' is defined, it will be appended to all of the
3000 remaining sub-suffix parameters. In this case, the order of the suffix
3001 listings in smb.conf is important. Always place the 'ldap suffix' first
3004 Due to a limitation in Samba's smb.conf parsing, you should not surround
3005 the DN's with quotation marks.
3011 Samba 3.0 supports an ldap backend for the idmap subsystem. The
3012 following options would inform Samba that the idmap table should be
3013 stored on the directory server onterose in the "ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,
3018 idmap backend = ldap:ldap://onterose/
3019 ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,dc=org
3020 idmap uid = 40000-50000
3021 idmap gid = 40000-50000
3023 This configuration allows winbind installations on multiple servers to
3024 share a uid/gid number space, thus avoiding the interoperability problems
3025 with NFS that were present in Samba 2.2.
3029 ######################################################################
3030 Trust Relationships and a Samba Domain
3031 ######################################
3033 Samba 3.0.0beta2 is able to utilize winbindd as the means of
3034 allocating uids and gids to trusted users and groups. More
3035 information regarding Samba's support for establishing trust
3036 relationships can be found in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection included
3037 in the docs/ directory of this release.
3039 First create your Samba PDC and ensure that everything is
3040 working correctly before moving on the trusts.
3042 To establish Samba as the trusting domain (named SAMBA) from a Windows NT
3043 4.0 domain named WINDOWS:
3045 1) create the trust account for SAMBA in "User Manager for Domains"
3046 2) connect the trust from the Samba domain using
3047 'net rpc trustdom establish GLASS'
3049 To create a trustlationship with SAMBA as the trusted domain:
3051 1) create the initial trust account for GLASS using
3052 'smbpasswd -a -i GLASS'. You may need to create a UNIX
3053 account for GLASS$ prior to this step (depending on your
3054 local configuration).
3055 2) connect the trust from a WINDOWS DC using "User Manager
3058 Now join winbindd on the Samba PDC to the SAMBA domain using
3059 the normal steps for adding a Samba server to an NT4 domain:
3060 (note that smbd & nmbd must be running at this point)
3062 root# net rpc join -U root
3063 Password: <enter root password from smbpasswd file here>
3065 Start winbindd and test the join with 'wbinfo -t'.
3067 Now test the trust relationship by connecting to the SAMBA DC
3068 (e.g. POGO) as a user from the WINDOWS domain:
3070 $ smbclient //pogo/netlogon -U Administrator -W WINDOWS
3073 Now connect to the WINDOWS DC (e.g. CRYSTAL) as a Samba user:
3075 $ smbclient //crystal/netlogon -U root -W WINDOWS
3078 ######################################################################
3082 Beginning with Samba3.0.0beta3, winbindd has been given new account
3083 manage functionality equivalent to the 'add user script' family of
3084 smb.conf parameters. The idmap design has also been changed to
3085 centralize control of foreign SID lookups and matching to UNIX
3089 Brief Description of Changes
3090 ----------------------------
3092 1) The sid_to_uid() family of functions (smbd/uid.c) have been
3093 reverted to the 2.2.x design. This means that when resolving a
3094 SID to a UID or similar mapping:
3096 a) First consult winbindd
3097 b) perform a local lookup only if winbindd fails to
3098 return a successful answer
3100 There are some variations to this, but these two rules generally
3103 2) All idmap lookups have been moved into winbindd. This means that
3104 a server must run winbindd (and support NSS) in order to achieve
3105 any mappings of SID to dynamically allocated UNIX ids. This was
3106 a conscious design choice.
3108 3) New functions have been added to winbindd to emulate the 'add user
3109 script' family of smbd functions without requiring that external
3110 scripts be defined. This functionality is controlled by the 'winbind
3111 enable local accounts' smb.conf parameter (enabled by default).
3113 However, this account management functionality is only supported
3114 in a local tdb (winbindd_idmap.tdb). If these new UNIX accounts
3115 must be shared among multiple Samba servers (such as a PDC and BDCs),
3116 it will be necessary to define your own 'add user script', et. al.
3117 programs that place the accounts/groups in some form of directory
3118 such as NIS or LDAP. This requirement was deemed beyond the scope
3119 of winbind's account management functions. Solutions for
3120 distributing UNIX system information have been deployed and tested
3121 for many years. We saw no need to reinvent the wheel.
3123 4) A member of a Samba controlled domain running winbindd is now able
3124 to map domain users directly onto existing UNIX accounts while still
3125 automatically creating accounts for trusted users and groups. This
3126 behavior is controlled by the 'winbind trusted domains only' smb.conf
3127 parameter (disabled by default to provide 2.2.x winbind behavior).
3129 5) Group mapping support is wrapped in the local_XX_to_XX() functions
3130 in smbd/uid.c. The reason that group mappings are not included
3131 in winbindd is because the purpose of Samba's group map is to
3132 match any Windows SID with an existing UNIX group. These UNIX
3133 groups can be created by winbindd (see next section), but the
3134 SID<->gid mapping is retreived by smbd, not winbindd.
3140 * security = server running winbindd to allocate accounts on demand
3142 * Samba PDC running winbindd to handle the automatic creation of UNIX
3143 identities for machine trust accounts
3145 * Automtically creating UNIX user and groups when migrating a Windows NT
3146 4.0 PDC to a Samba PDC. Winbindd must be running when executing
3147 'net rpc vampire' for this to work.
