- =============================
- Release Notes for Samba 3.0.6
- Aug 19, 2004
- =============================
-
-This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version
-that production Samba servers should be running for all
-current bug-fixes. There have been several issues fixes since
-the 3.0.4/5 release and new features have been added as well.
-See the "Changes" section for details on exact updates.
-
-Common bugs fixed in 3.0.6 include:
-
- o Schannel failure in winbindd.
- o Numerous memory leaks.
- o Incompatibilities between the 'write list' and 'force user'
- smb.conf options.
- o Premature optimization of the open_directory() internal
- function that broke tools such as the ArcServe backup
- agent, Macromedia HomeSite, and Robocopy.
- o Corrupt workgroup names in nmbd's browse.dat.
- o Sharing violation errors commonly seen when opening
- when serving Microsoft Office documents from a Samba
- file share.
- o Browsing problems caused by an apostrophe (') in the
- computer's description field.
- o Problems creating special file types from UNIX CIFS
- clients and enabling 'unix extensions'.
- o Fix stalls in smbd caused by inaccessible LDAP servers.
- o Remove various memory leaks.
- o Fix issues in the password lockout feature.
-
-New features introduced in this release include:
-
- O Support symlinks created by CIFS clients which
- can be followed on the server.
- o Using a cups server other than localhost.
- o Maintaining the service principal entry in the system
- keytab for integration with other kerberized services.
- Please refer to the 'use kerberos keytab' entry in
- smb.conf(5). When using the heimdal kerberos libraries,
- you must also specify the following in /etc/krb5.conf:
- [libdefaults]
- default_keytab_name = FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab
- o Support for maintaining individual printer names
- stored separately from the printer's sharename.
- o Support for maintaining user password history.
- o Support for honoring the logon times for user in a
- Samba domain.
-
---------------------------------------------
-unix extensions = yes (default) and symlinks
---------------------------------------------
-
-Beginning with Samba 3.0.6pre1 (formerly known as 3.0.5pre1),
-clients supporting the UNIX extensions to the CIFS protocol
-can create symlinks to absolute paths which will be **followed**
-by the server. This functionality has been requested in order
-to correctly support certain applications when the user's home
-directory is mounted using some type of CIFS client (e.g. the
-cifsvfs in the Linux 2.6 kernel).
-
-If this behavior is not acceptable for your production environment
-you can set 'wide links = no' in the specific share declaration in
-the server's smb.conf. Be aware that disabling wide link support
-out of a share in Samba may impact the server's performance due
-to the fact that smbd will now have to check each path additional
-times before traversing it.
-
-------------------------
-Password History Support
-------------------------
-
-The new password history feature allows smbd to check the new
-password in password change requests against a list of the user's
-previous passwords. The number of previous passwords to save can
-be set using pdbedit (4 in this example):
-
- root# pdbedit -P "password history" -C 4
-
-When using the ldapsam passdb backend, it is vital to secure the
-following attributes from access by non-administrative users:
-
- * sambaNTPassword
- * sambaLMPassword
- * sambaPasswordHistory
-
-You should refer to your directory server's documentation on how
-to implement this restriction.

- =============================
- Release Notes for Samba 3.0.5
- July 20, 2004
- =============================
-
-Please note that Samba 3.0.5 is identical to Samba 3.0.4 with
-the exception of correcting the two security issues outlined
-below.
-
-######################## SECURITY RELEASE ########################
-
-Summary: Multiple Potential Buffer Overruns in Samba 3.0.x
-CVE ID: CAN-2004-0600, CAN-2004-0686
- (http://cve.mitre.org/)
-
-
-This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version
-that production Samba servers should be running for all current
-bug-fixes.
-
-It has been confirmed that versions of Samba 3 prior to v3.0.4
-are vulnerable to two potential buffer overruns. The individual
-details are given below.
-
--------------
-CAN-2004-0600
--------------
-
-Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.2 and later
-
-The internal routine used by the Samba Web Administration
-Tool (SWAT v3.0.2 and later) to decode the base64 data
-during HTTP basic authentication is subject to a buffer
-overrun caused by an invalid base64 character. It is
-recommended that all Samba v3.0.2 or later installations
-running SWAT either (a) upgrade to v3.0.5, or (b) disable
-the swat administration service as a temporary workaround.
-
-This same code is used internally to decode the
-sambaMungedDial attribute value when using the ldapsam
-passdb backend. While we do not believe that the base64
-decoding routines used by the ldapsam passdb backend can
-be exploited, sites using an LDAP directory service with
-Samba are strongly encouraged to verify that the DIT only
-allows write access to sambaSamAccount attributes by a
-sufficiently authorized user.
-
-The Samba Team would like to heartily thank Evgeny Demidov
-for analyzing and reporting this bug.
-
--------------
-CAN-2004-0686
--------------
-
-Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.0 and later
-
-A buffer overrun has been located in the code used to support
-the 'mangling method = hash' smb.conf option. Please be aware
-that the default setting for this parameter is 'mangling method
-= hash2' and therefore not vulnerable.
-
-Affected Samba 3 installations can avoid this possible security
-bug by using the default hash2 mangling method. Server
-installations requiring the hash mangling method are encouraged
-to upgrade to Samba 3.0.5.

- ==============================
- Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2a
- February 13, 2004
- ==============================
-
-Samba 3.0.2a is a minor patch release for the 3.0.2 code base
-to address, in particular, a problem when using pdbedit to
-sanitize (--force-initialized-passwords) Samba's tdbsam
-backend. This is the latest stable release of Samba. This
-is the version that all production Samba servers should be
-running for all current bug-fixes.
-
-******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
-
-Beginning with Samba 3.0.2, passwords for accounts with a last
-change time (LCT-XXX in smbpasswd, sambaPwdLastSet attribute in
-ldapsam, etc...) of zero (0) will be regarded as uninitialized
-strings. This will cause authentication to fail for such
-accounts. If you have valid passwords that meet this criteria,
-you must update the last change time to a non-zero value. If you
-do not, then 'pdbedit --force-initialized-passwords' will disable
-these accounts and reset the password hashes to a string of X's.
-
-******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
-
-
-Changes since 3.0.2
--------------------
-
-commits
--------
-
-Please refer to the CVS log for the SAMBA_3_0 branch for complete
-details. The list of changes per contributor are as follows:
-
-
-o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
- * Added paranoia checks in parsing code.
-
-
-o Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org>
- * Ensure that changes to uninitialized passwords in ldapsam
- are written to the DIT.
-

- =============================
- Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2
- February 9, 2004
- =============================
-
-It has been confirmed that previous versions of Samba 3.0 are
-susceptible to a password initialization bug that could grant an
-attacker unauthorized access to a user account created by the
-mksmbpasswd.sh shell script.
-
-The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
-has assigned the name CAN-2004-0082 to this issue.
-
-Samba administrators not wishing to upgrade to the current
-version should download the 3.0.2 release, build the pdbedit
-tool, and run
-
- root# pdbedit-3.0.2 --force-initialized-passwords
-
-This will disable all accounts not possessing a valid password
-(e.g. the password field has been set a string of X's).
-
-Samba servers running 3.0.2 are not vulnerable to this bug
-regardless of whether or not pdbedit has been used to sanitize
-the passdb backend.
-
-Some of the more visible bugs in 3.0.1 addressed in the 3.0.2
-release include:
-
- o Joining a Samba domain from Pre-SP2 Windows 2000 clients.
- o Logging onto a Samba domain from Windows XP clients.
- o Problems with the %U and %u smb.conf variables in relation to
- Windows 9x/ME clients.
- o Kerberos failures due to an invalid in memory keytab detection
- test.
- o Updates to the ntlm_auth tool.
- o Fixes for various SMB signing errors.
- o Better separation of WINS and DNS queries for domain controllers.
- o Issues with nss_winbind FreeBSD and Solaris.
- o Several crash bugs in smbd and winbindd.
- o Output formatting fixes for smbclient for better compatibility
- with scripts based on the 2.2 version.

-######################################################################
-
- The original 3.0.0 release notes follow
- =======================================
- WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.0
- September 24, 2003
- =======================================
-
-
-Major new features:
--------------------
-
-1) Active Directory support. Samba 3.0 is now able to
- join a ADS realm as a member server and authenticate
- users using LDAP/Kerberos.
-
-2) 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.
-
-3) 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.
-
-4) New default filename mangling system.
-
-5) A new "net" command has been added. It is somewhat similar to
- the "net" command in windows. Eventually we plan to replace
- numerous other utilities (such as smbpasswd) with subcommands
- in "net".
-
-6) Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
- improves error handling a lot.
-
-7) Better Windows 2000/XP/2003 printing support including publishing
- printer attributes in active directory.
-
-8) New loadable module support for passdb backends and character
- sets.
-
-9) New default dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance.
-
-10) Support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Samba
- domain and maintaining user, group and domain SIDs.
-
-11) Support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
- domain controllers.
-
-12) Initial support for a distributed Winbind architecture using
- an LDAP directory for storing SID to uid/gid mappings.
-
-13) Major updates to the Samba documentation tree.
-
-14) Full support for client and server SMB signing to ensure
- compatibility with default Windows 2003 security settings.
-
-15) Improvement of ACL mapping features based on code donated by
- Andreas Grünbacher.
-
-
-Plus lots of other improvements!
-
-
-Additional Documentation
-------------------------
-
-Please refer to Samba documentation tree (included in the docs/
-subdirectory) for extensive explanations of installing, configuring
-and maintaining Samba 3.0 servers and clients. It is advised to
-begin with the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for overviews and specific
-tasks (the current book is up to approximately 400 pages) and to
-refer to the various man pages for information on individual options.
-
-We are very glad to be able to include the second edition of
-"Using Samba" by Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown
-(O'Reilly & Associates) in this release. The book is available
-on-line at http://samba.org/samba/docs/ and is included with
-the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). Thanks to the authors and
-publisher for making "Using Samba" under the GNU Free Documentation
-License.
-
-
-######################################################################
-Upgrading from a previous Samba 3.0 beta
-########################################
-
-Beginning with Samba 3.0.0beta3, the RID allocation functions
-have been moved into winbindd. Previously these were handled
-by each passdb backend. This means that winbindd must be running
-to automatically allocate RIDs for users and/or groups. Otherwise,
-smbd will use the 2.2 algorithm for generating new RIDs.
-
-If you are using 'passdb backend = tdbsam' with a previous Samba
-3.0 beta release (or possibly alpha), it may be necessary to
-move the RID_COUNTER entry from /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
-to winbindd_idmap.tdb. To do this:
-
-1) Ensure that winbindd_idmap.tdb exists (launch winbindd at least
- once)
-2) build tdbtool by executing 'make tdbtool' in the source/tdb/
- directory
-3) run: (note that 'tdb>' is the tool's prompt for input)
-
- root# ./tdbtool /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
- tdb> show RID_COUNTER
- key 12 bytes

-from 3.0 to 2.2 is an unsupported path.
-
-Name Description Backup?
----- ----------- -------
-account_policy User policy settings yes
-gencache Generic caching db no
-group_mapping Mapping table from Windows yes
- groups/SID to unix groups
-winbindd_idmap ID map table from SIDS to UNIX yes
- uids/gids.
-namecache Name resolution cache entries no
-netsamlogon_cache Cache of NET_USER_INFO_3 structure no
- returned as part of a successful
- net_sam_logon request
-printing/*.tdb Cached output from 'lpq no
- command' created on a per print
- service basis
-registry Read-only samba registry skeleton no
- that provides support for exporting
- various db tables via the winreg RPCs
-
-
-Changes in Behavior
--------------------
-
-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.
-
- MIT kerberos 1.3.1 supports the ARCFOUR-HMAC-MD5 encryption
- type which is neccessary for servers on which the
- administrator password has not been changed, or kerberos-enabled
- SMB connections to servers that require Kerberos SMB signing.
- Besides this one difference, either MIT or Heimdal Kerberos
- distributions are usable by Samba 3.0.
-
-
-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=..." > sambaAcct.ldif
- $ convertSambaAccount --sid=<Domain SID> \
- --input=sambaAcct.ldif --output=sambaSamAcct.ldif \
- --changetype=[modify|add]
-
-The <DOM SID> can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid
-<DOMAINNAME>' on the Samba PDC as root. The changetype determines
-the format of the generated LDIF output--either create new entries
-or modify existing entries.
-
-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.
-
- * sambaSidEntry - object representing a SID alone, as a Structural
- class on which to build the sambaIdmapEntry.
-
-
-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.
-
-
-
-######################################################################
-Trust Relationships and a Samba Domain
-######################################
-
-Samba 3.0.0beta2 is able to utilize winbindd as the means of
-allocating uids and gids to trusted users and groups. More
-information regarding Samba's support for establishing trust
-relationships can be found in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection included
-in the docs/ directory of this release.
-
-First create your Samba PDC and ensure that everything is
-working correctly before moving on the trusts.
-
-To establish Samba as the trusting domain (named SAMBA) from a Windows NT
-4.0 domain named WINDOWS:
-
- 1) create the trust account for SAMBA in "User Manager for Domains"
- 2) connect the trust from the Samba domain using
- 'net rpc trustdom establish GLASS'
-
-To create a trustlationship with SAMBA as the trusted domain:
-
- 1) create the initial trust account for GLASS using
- 'smbpasswd -a -i GLASS'. You may need to create a UNIX
- account for GLASS$ prior to this step (depending on your
- local configuration).
- 2) connect the trust from a WINDOWS DC using "User Manager
- for Domains"
-
-Now join winbindd on the Samba PDC to the SAMBA domain using
-the normal steps for adding a Samba server to an NT4 domain:
-(note that smbd & nmbd must be running at this point)
-
- root# net rpc join -U root
- Password: <enter root password from smbpasswd file here>
-
-Start winbindd and test the join with 'wbinfo -t'.
-
-Now test the trust relationship by connecting to the SAMBA DC
-(e.g. POGO) as a user from the WINDOWS domain:
-
- $ smbclient //pogo/netlogon -U Administrator -W WINDOWS
- Password:
-
-Now connect to the WINDOWS DC (e.g. CRYSTAL) as a Samba user:
-
- $ smbclient //crystal/netlogon -U root -W WINDOWS
- Password:

-######################################################################
-Changes in Winbind
-##################
-
-Beginning with Samba3.0.0beta3, winbindd has been given new account
-manage functionality equivalent to the 'add user script' family of
-smb.conf parameters. The idmap design has also been changed to
-centralize control of foreign SID lookups and matching to UNIX
-uids and gids.
-
-
-Brief Description of Changes
-----------------------------
-
-1) The sid_to_uid() family of functions (smbd/uid.c) have been
- reverted to the 2.2.x design. This means that when resolving a
- SID to a UID or similar mapping:
-
- a) First consult winbindd
- b) perform a local lookup only if winbindd fails to
- return a successful answer
-
- There are some variations to this, but these two rules generally
- apply.
-
-2) All idmap lookups have been moved into winbindd. This means that
- a server must run winbindd (and support NSS) in order to achieve
- any mappings of SID to dynamically allocated UNIX ids. This was
- a conscious design choice.
-
-3) New functions have been added to winbindd to emulate the 'add user
- script' family of smbd functions without requiring that external
- scripts be defined. This functionality is controlled by the 'winbind
- enable local accounts' smb.conf parameter (enabled by default).
-
- However, this account management functionality is only supported
- in a local tdb (winbindd_idmap.tdb). If these new UNIX accounts
- must be shared among multiple Samba servers (such as a PDC and BDCs),
- it will be necessary to define your own 'add user script', et. al.
- programs that place the accounts/groups in some form of directory
- such as NIS or LDAP. This requirement was deemed beyond the scope
- of winbind's account management functions. Solutions for
- distributing UNIX system information have been deployed and tested
- for many years. We saw no need to reinvent the wheel.
-
-4) A member of a Samba controlled domain running winbindd is now able
- to map domain users directly onto existing UNIX accounts while still
- automatically creating accounts for trusted users and groups. This
- behavior is controlled by the 'winbind trusted domains only' smb.conf
- parameter (disabled by default to provide 2.2.x winbind behavior).
-
-5) Group mapping support is wrapped in the local_XX_to_XX() functions
- in smbd/uid.c. The reason that group mappings are not included
- in winbindd is because the purpose of Samba's group map is to
- match any Windows SID with an existing UNIX group. These UNIX
- groups can be created by winbindd (see next section), but the
- SID<->gid mapping is retreived by smbd, not winbindd.
-
-
-Examples
---------
-
-* security = server running winbindd to allocate accounts on demand
-
-* Samba PDC running winbindd to handle the automatic creation of UNIX
- identities for machine trust accounts
-
-* Automtically creating UNIX user and groups when migrating a Windows NT
- 4.0 PDC to a Samba PDC. Winbindd must be running when executing
- 'net rpc vampire' for this to work.
-
