- WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0 alpha22
- 4th March 2003
+ WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.0 beta1
+ June 7 2003
==============================
-This is a pre-release of Samba 3.0. This is NOT a stable release.
-Use at your own risk.
+This is a beta release of Samba 3.0.0. This is a non-production release
+intended for testing purposes. 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 have
-officially ceased development on the 2.2.x release of Samba and are
-concentrating on Samba 3.0. To reduce the time before the final Samba 3.0
-release we need as many people as possible to start testing these alpha
-releases, and hopefully giving us some high quality feedback on what needs
-fixing.

+Samba 3.0 is feature complete. However there is still some final
+work to be done on certain pieces of functionality. Please refer to
+the section on "Known Issues" for more details.
-Note that Samba 3.0 is not feature complete yet. There is a 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.
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.

+
+Changes in Behavior
+-------------------
- See cvs log for SAMBA_3_0 for complete details. There are many
- smaller numerous changes that would clutter the release notes.
-
-1) remove the global_myname string and replace with wrapper function
- global_myname()
-2) create vfs/ and pdb/ subdirectories for library installs
-3) Fixup of ordered cleanup of get_dc_list()
-4) Added more autoconf tests for Stratus VOS
-5) Fixed nasty bug where file writes with start offsets in the
- range 0x80000000 -> 0xFFFFFFFF would fail as they were being cast
- from IVAL (uint32) to SMB_OFF_T (off_t or off64_t, both *signed*
- types). The sign extension would cause the offset to be treated
- as negative.
-6) Add support to automatically retrieve the dns host name and domain
- name of an AD server
-7) Add support for PRINTER_INFO_7 and publishing printer attributes
- in active directory
-8) Fix for 64 bit issues with oplocks and allocation size
-9) Remove assert(count ==1) for multi-homed PDCs when resolving
- DOMAIN<0x1b>
-10) Ensure that change_trust_account_password() always talks to
- the PDC
-11) Add some docs on CUPS printing
-12) Fix rpcclient querygroup command
-13) The _abs time functions should not be converting from/to GMT
-14) Fix broken incremental tar in smbclient

- (examples/printing/prtpub.c)
-18) Fix memory leak when constructing an driver_level_6 structure and
- no dependent files
-19) Add some friendly versions of NT_STATUS codes
-20) Protect nmbd against malformed reply packets
-21) Removal of unpopular winbind client environment variable
-22) Add msdfs proxy functionality; a CIFS share can directly be a
- stand-in for another share, and when clients connect to the first
- share, they will be redirected to the proxied share
-23) Make Samba compile cleanly with -Wwrite-strings
-24) Add new timegm() that actually works on solaris
-25) Add support for running smbd, nmbd, & winbindd under the daemontools
- package
-26) Move user password changes into the NTSTATUS era, and add support
- for the 'min password age' and 'min passwd len' concepts
-27) Add new gencache based namecache code
-28) Add profiles utility support to Samba 3.0.x
-29) Fix open problem with changing attributes on an existing file
-30) Efficiency fixes for internal messaging system
-31) Make sure to update print queue cache during timeout_processing()
- to send notify events
-32) Make -i flag work like it did in 2.2
-33) Merge some rpcclient and net functionality from HEAD
-34) Add support for compiling with Heimdal kerberos libraries
-35) Connect to the actual netbios name in smb.conf and not LOCALHOST
-36) Add support for CUPS-PRINTER_CLASS

-40) Fix delete on close semantics to match W2K.
-41) merge desired_access for open_printer_ex from HEAD, allowing
- cupsaddsmb to work again!
-42) Add support for dynamic RPC modules
-43) wrap all cm_get_XX calls and their subsequent requests in a retry loop
- in case we've temporarily lost connection to the DC. Makes winbindd
- more reliable
-44) Optimize user_ok() and user_in_group() when verifying group membership
-45) Add NTLMv2 client code (that works) and some SMB signing fixes
-46) Add caching of PRINTER_INFO_2 structures to open printer handles
-47) Add 1/3 second delay in OpenPrinter() reply to trigger a LAN/WAN
- optimization in Windows 2000 clients
-48) Add "WinXP" to the possible values of the %a variable
-49) Fix to allow blocking lock notification to be done rapidly (no wait for
- smb -> smb lock release). Adds new PENDING_LOCK type to lockdb (does
- not interfere with existing locks)
-50) Limit the unix domain sockets used by winbindd (also solves FD_SETSIZE
- problem in winbindd to boot !). Adds a "last_access" field to winbindd
- connections, and will close the oldest idle connection once the number
- of open connections goes over WINBINDD_MAX_SIMULTANEOUS_CLIENTS (defined
- in local.h as 200 currently)
-51) Limit the number of print jobs returned in EnumJobs()
+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.
+
+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.
+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.
+
- ===============================
+######################################################################
+Known Issues
+############
-Changes in older alpha releases follow:
+* One such limitation that is worth mentioning (and will be corrected
+ before the actual stable 3.0.0 release is the dead lock problem with
+ running winbindd on a Samba PDC in order to allocate uids and gids for
+ users and groups in a trusted domain. When the Samba domain is acting
+ as the trusted domain to a Windows NT 4.0 domain, there are no known
+ issues.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
+* The smbldap perl scripts for managing user entries in an LDAP
+ directory have not be updated to function with the Samba 3.0
+ schema changes. This (or an equivalent solution) work is planned
+ to be completed prior to the stable 3.0.0 release.
