-This is a pre-release of Samba 3.0 alpha0. This is NOT a stable
-release. Use at your own risk.
+This is a pre-release of Samba 3.0. 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.

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.
+ as a member server and authenticate users using LDAP/kerberos.
-- 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.

+ internally there is now a much better infrastructure for multi-byte
+ and UNICODE character sets.
- 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.

- new filename mangling system. The filename mangling system has been

- new "net" command. A new "net" command has been added. It is
somewhat similar to the "net" command in windows. Eventually we plan
- Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
improves error handling a lot.
-- better w2k printing support. The support for printing from win2000
- clients has improved greatly.
+- better w2k printing support including publishing printer
+ attributes in active directory
-Plus lots of other changes!
+- new loadable RPC modules
-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.
+- new dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance
+
+- support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain
+
+- support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
+ domain controllers
+
+Plus lots of other changes!

+
+Changes in alpha23:
+-------------------
+
+ LDAP Group Mapping
+ ------------------
+
+ pdbedit -i -e sets all SAM_ACCOUNT elements to CHANGED to
+ satisfy the new pdb_ldap.c handling. pdbedit -g transfers group
+ mappings. I made this separate from the user database, as current
+ installations have to live with a split backend. So, if you are
+ running 3_0 alphas with LDAP as a backend and upgrade to 3.0alpha23,
+ you must call
+
+ root# pdbedit -i tdbsam -e ldapsam -g
+
+ to transfer your group mapping database to LDAP.
+
+ All groups must be represented as posixGroup objects in
+ the directory and you must adapt your LDAP schema to support the
+ sambaGroupMapping before running this command. Refer to
+ examples/LDAP/samba.schema for details on the objectclass.
+
+
+ Parameters
+ ----------
+
+ Modified Parameters (see smb.conf(5) for details):
+
+ * passdb backend
+
+ Added Parameters
+
+ * ldap del only sam attr
+ * ldap delete dn
+
+
+ ChangeLog
+ ---------
+
+ See cvs log for SAMBA_3_0 for complete details. There are many
+ smaller numerous changes that would clutter the release notes.
+
+0) Include security fix from Samba 2.2.8
+1) Fix interop bug in tconX on port 445 with Windows 2000
+2) Interpret missing SMB_ACL_USER_OBJ, SMB_ACL_GROUP_OBJ, or
+ SMB_ACL_OTHER as "preserve current value" instead of attempting
+ to build one ourself.
+3) Rearrange set_nt_acl() such that chown is only done before
+ setting ACLs if there is either no change of owning user, or
+ change of owning user is towards the current user. Otherwise
+ chown is done after setting ACLs.
+4) Continuing work on NTLMSSP-based SMB signing
+5) When opening an existing TDB, don't require the hash_size
+ specified to the open call to be the same as that of the
+ existing tdb. The specified hash_size is only used if the
+ tdb needs to be (re)created.
+6) Add support for "WinXP" and "Win2K3" client architectures.
+7) Fixed the unmarshalling of the queryaliasmem SAMR call
+8) Windows 2000 can take much longer than the specified time to
+ respond to a lock - so to make the torture tests valid I give
+ it a grace time of 10 seconds instead of 2
+9) Continued work on string handling paranoia
+10) Merge new statcache.c from HEAD
+11) Add new 'net ads dn' option
+12) Sync up SessionSetup code to HEAD, including Luke Howard's
+ session key and auth verifier patches
+13) Work on cleaning up winbindd's mutex locking
+14) Add support for LDAP based Windows group mapping
+15) Improve LDAP update routines
+16) Fix memory leaks found by Valgrind
+17) Add a 'privileged' mode to Winbindd
+18) Work around platforms that have broken getgrnam() implementations
+19) Merge real time signal fixes for kernel oplock code from HEAD
+20) Fix CIDR hosts allow/deny notation
+21) Fixup tcon&X server responses and error codes
+22) Set domain for users in passdb created by "net rpc vampire"
+23) More scalable printing updates
+
+
+ ===============================
+
+Changes in older alpha releases follow:
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Changes in alpha22:
+-------------------
+
+ Added Parameters
+
+ * client NTLMv2 auth
+ * client lanman auth
+ * client signing
+ * client use spnego
+ * max reported print jobs
+ * msdfs proxy
+
+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
+15) Adding supporting code for better testing using Valgrind
+16) Fix for old DOS client when veto files is set to /.*/
+17) Add win32 utility to query driver capabilities to publish
+ (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

+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

+37) Add ntlm_auth tool and update NTLMSSP support
+38) require Autoconf 2.53 and remove configure from CVS
+39) Check for too many processes *before* the fork
+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()
