This is *not* +intended for production environments and is designed for testing +purposes only. Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting +system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/. + +Please be aware that Samba is now distributed under the version 3 +of the new GNU General Public License. You may refer to the COPYING +file that accompanies these release notes for further licensing details. + +Major enhancements in Samba 3.2.0 include: + + File Serving: + o Use of IDL generated parsing layer for several DCE/RPC + interfaces. + o Removal of the 1024 byte limit on pathnames and 256 byte limit on + filename components to honor the MAX_PATH setting from the host OS. + o Introduction of a registry based configuration system. + o Improved CIFS Unix Extensions support. + o Experimental support for file serving clusters. + + + Winbind and Active Directory Integration: + o Full support for Windows 2003 cross-forest, transitive trusts + and one-way domain trusts + o Support for userPrincipalName logons via pam_winbind and NSS + lookups. + o Support in pam_winbind for logging on using the userPrincipalName. + o Expansion of nested domain groups via NSS calls. + o Support for Active Directory LDAP Signing policy. + + + Users & Groups: + o New ldb backend for local group mapping tables + o Raised level of security defaults for authentication operations. + + + Documentation: + o Inclusion of an HTLM version of the 3rd edition of "Using Samba" + from O'Reilly Publishing. + + +Now Licensed under the GNU GPLv3 +================================ + +The Samba Team has adopted the Version 3 of the GNU General Public +License for the 3.2 and later releases. The GPLv3 is the updated +version of the GPLv2 license under which Samba is currently +distributed. It has been updated to improvecompatibility with other +licenses and to make it easier to adopt internationally, and is an +improved version of the license to better suit the needs of Free +Software in the 21st Century. + +The original announcement is available on-line at + + http://news.samba.org/announcements/samba_gplv3/ + + +New Security Defaults for Authentication +======================================== + +Support for LanMan passwords is now disabled in both client and server +applications. Additionally, clear text authentication requests are +disabled by default in client utilities such as smbclient and all +libsmbclient based applications. This will affect connection both +to and from hosts running DOS, Windows 9x/ME, and OS/2. Please refer +to the "Changes" section for details on the exact parameters that were +updated. + + + +Registry Configuration Backend +============================== + +Samba is now able to use a registry based configuration backed to +supplement smb.conf setting. This feature may be enabled by setting +"include = registry" and "registry shares = yes" in the [global] +section of smb.conf and may be managed using the "net conf" command. + +More information may be obtained from the smb.conf(5) and net(8) man +pages. + + +Removed Features +================ + +Both the Python bindings and the libmsrpc shared library have been +removed from the tree due to lack of an official maintainer. + + + +###################################################################### +Changes +####### + +smb.conf changes +---------------- + + Parameter Name Description Default
