-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.
+- 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.
- 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.
+ but the new auth system is also very configurable.
- 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.
+ persistently. This needs lots of testing.
- 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
+
+- new dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance
+
+- support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain
-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.
+- support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
+ domain controllers
+
+Plus lots of other changes!
Reporting bugs & Development Discussion
---------------------------------------
Please discuss this release on the samba-technical mailing list or by
-joining the #samba-technical IRC channel on irc.openprojects.net
+joining the #samba-technical IRC channel on irc.freenode.net.
If you do report problems then please try to send high quality
feedback. If you don't provide vital information to help us track down
the problem then you will probably be ignored.
+
+Changes in alpha24:
+-------------------
+
+ LDAP Schema Changes
+ -------------------
+ A new objectclass (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 sambaDomain and sambaGroupMapping objects have also been modified
+ to use the new attribute naming conventions as well. There are no
+ conversion scripts for this data since the old schema was never published
+ in a stable release.
+
+ The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
+ "ldapsam_compat" passdb backend.
