Move all password database stuff to one document - hope this makes it somewhat
more understandable for the user. Comments are welcome! (This used to be commit 847d05085147431de923c735b7ab6ea752e592c2)

-<title>LanMan and NT Password Encryption in Samba</title>
-
-
-<sect1>
- <title>Introduction</title>
-
- <para>Newer windows clients send encrypted passwords over
- the wire, instead of plain text passwords. The newest clients
- will only send encrypted passwords and refuse to send plain text
- passwords, unless their registry is tweaked.</para>
-
- <para>These passwords can't be converted to unix style encrypted
- passwords. Because of that you can't use the standard unix
- user database, and you have to store the Lanman and NT hashes
- somewhere else. For more information, see the documentation
- about the <command>passdb backend = </command> parameter.
- </para>

- <title>Important Notes About Security</title>
-
- <para>The unix and SMB password encryption techniques seem similar
- on the surface. This similarity is, however, only skin deep. The unix
- scheme typically sends clear text passwords over the network when
- logging in. This is bad. The SMB encryption scheme never sends the
- cleartext password over the network but it does store the 16 byte
- hashed values on disk. This is also bad. Why? Because the 16 byte hashed
- values are a "password equivalent". You cannot derive the user's
- password from them, but they could potentially be used in a modified
- client to gain access to a server. This would require considerable
- technical knowledge on behalf of the attacker but is perfectly possible.
- You should thus treat the smbpasswd file as though it contained the
- cleartext passwords of all your users. Its contents must be kept
- secret, and the file should be protected accordingly.</para>
-
- <para>Ideally we would like a password scheme which neither requires
- plain text passwords on the net or on disk. Unfortunately this
- is not available as Samba is stuck with being compatible with
- other SMB systems (WinNT, WfWg, Win95 etc). </para>
-
- <warning>
- <para>Note that Windows NT 4.0 Service pack 3 changed the
- default for permissible authentication so that plaintext
- passwords are <emphasis>never</emphasis> sent over the wire.
- The solution to this is either to switch to encrypted passwords
- with Samba or edit the Windows NT registry to re-enable plaintext
- passwords. See the document WinNT.txt for details on how to do
- this.</para>

- this behavior includes</para>

- <para><command>smbpasswd</command> now has the capability
- to change passwords on Windows NT servers (this only works when

-<title>Introduction</title>
-
-<para>
-Traditionally, when configuring <ulink url="smb.conf.5.html#ENCRYPTPASSWORDS">"encrypt
-passwords = yes"</ulink> in Samba's <filename>smb.conf</filename> file, user account
-information such as username, LM/NT password hashes, password change times, and account
-flags have been stored in the <filename>smbpasswd(5)</filename> file. There are several
-disadvantages to this approach for sites with very large numbers of users (counted
-in the thousands).
-</para>
-
-<itemizedlist>
-<listitem><para>
-The first is that all lookups must be performed sequentially. Given that
-there are approximately two lookups per domain logon (one for a normal
-session connection such as when mapping a network drive or printer), this
-is a performance bottleneck for lareg sites. What is needed is an indexed approach
-such as is used in databases.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-The second problem is that administrators who desired to replicate a
-smbpasswd file to more than one Samba server were left to use external
-tools such as <command>rsync(1)</command> and <command>ssh(1)</command>
-and wrote custom, in-house scripts.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-And finally, the amount of information which is stored in an
-smbpasswd entry leaves no room for additional attributes such as
-a home directory, password expiration time, or even a Relative
-Identified (RID).
-</para></listitem>
-</itemizedlist>
-
-<para>
-As a result of these defeciencies, a more robust means of storing user attributes
-used by smbd was developed. The API which defines access to user accounts
-is commonly referred to as the samdb interface (previously this was called the passdb
-API, and is still so named in the CVS trees). In Samba 2.2.3, enabling support
-for a samdb backend (e.g. <parameter>--with-ldapsam</parameter> or
-<parameter>--with-tdbsam</parameter>) requires compile time support.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-When compiling Samba to include the <parameter>--with-ldapsam</parameter> autoconf
-option, smbd (and associated tools) will store and lookup user accounts in
-an LDAP directory. In reality, this is very easy to understand. If you are
-comfortable with using an smbpasswd file, simply replace "smbpasswd" with
-"LDAP directory" in all the documentation.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-There are a few points to stress about what the <parameter>--with-ldapsam</parameter>
-does not provide. The LDAP support referred to in the this documentation does not
-include:

-</itemizedlist>
-
-<para>
-The second item can be accomplished by using LDAP NSS and PAM modules. LGPL
-versions of these libraries can be obtained from PADL Software
-(<ulink url="http://www.padl.com/">http://www.padl.com/</ulink>). However,
-the details of configuring these packages are beyond the scope of this document.

-The LDAP samdb code in 2.2.3 has been developed and tested using the OpenLDAP
-2.0 server and client libraries. The same code should be able to work with
-Netscape's Directory Server and client SDK. However, due to lack of testing
-so far, there are bound to be compile errors and bugs. These should not be
-hard to fix. If you are so inclined, please be sure to forward all patches to

-<title>Schema and Relationship to the RFC 2307 posixAccount</title>
-
-
-<para>
-Samba 2.2.3 includes the necessary schema file for OpenLDAP 2.0 in
-<filename>examples/LDAP/samba.schema</filename>. (Note that this schema
-file has been modified since the experimental support initially included
-in 2.2.2). The sambaAccount objectclass is given here:
-</para>
-
-<para><programlisting>
-objectclass ( 1.3.1.5.1.4.1.7165.2.2.2 NAME 'sambaAccount' SUP top STRUCTURAL

- logoffTime $ kickoffTime $ pwdCanChange $ pwdMustChange $ acctFlags $
- displayName $ smbHome $ homeDrive $ scriptPath $ profilePath $
- description $ userWorkstations $ primaryGroupID $ domain ))
-</programlisting></para>
-
-<para>
-The samba.schema file has been formatted for OpenLDAP 2.0. The OID's are
-owned by the Samba Team and as such is legal to be openly published.
-If you translate the schema to be used with Netscape DS, please
-submit the modified schema file as a patch to <ulink
-url="jerry@samba.org">jerry@samba.org</ulink>
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Just as the smbpasswd file is mean to store information which supplements a
-user's <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> entry, so is the sambaAccount object
-meant to supplement the UNIX user account information. A sambaAccount is a
-<constant>STRUCTURAL</constant> objectclass so it can be stored individually
-in the directory. However, there are several fields (e.g. uid) which overlap
-with the posixAccount objectclass outlined in RFC2307. This is by design.
-</para>
-
-<!--olem: we should perhaps have a note about shadowAccounts too as many
-systems use them, isn'it ? -->
-
-<para>
-In order to store all user account information (UNIX and Samba) in the directory,
-it is necessary to use the sambaAccount and posixAccount objectclasses in
-combination. However, smbd will still obtain the user's UNIX account
-information via the standard C library calls (e.g. getpwnam(), et. al.).
-This means that the Samba server must also have the LDAP NSS library installed
-and functioning correctly. This division of information makes it possible to
-store all Samba account information in LDAP, but still maintain UNIX account
-information in NIS while the network is transitioning to a full LDAP infrastructure.

-<para>
-To remedy the first security issue, the "ldap ssl" smb.conf parameter defaults
-to require an encrypted session (<command>ldap ssl = on</command>) using
-the default port of 636
-when contacting the directory server. When using an OpenLDAP 2.0 server, it

-The majority of these parameters are only used when Samba is acting as a PDC of
-a domain (refer to the <ulink url="Samba-PDC-HOWTO.html">Samba-PDC-HOWTO</ulink> for details on
-how to configure Samba as a Primary Domain Controller). The following four attributes
-are only stored with the sambaAccount entry if the values are non-default values:

-These attributes are only stored with the sambaAccount entry if
-the values are non-default values. For example, assume TASHTEGO has now been
-configured as a PDC and that <command>logon home = \\%L\%u</command> was defined in
-its <filename>smb.conf</filename> file. When a user named "becky" logons to the domain,
-the <parameter>logon home</parameter> string is expanded to \\TASHTEGO\becky.
-If the smbHome attribute exists in the entry "uid=becky,ou=people,dc=samba,dc=org",
-this value is used. However, if this attribute does not exist, then the value
-of the <parameter>logon home</parameter> parameter is used in its place. Samba
-will only write the attribute value to the directory entry is the value is
-something other than the default (e.g. \\MOBY\becky).

-
-<sect1>
-<title>Building</title>
-
-<para>To build the plugin, run <command>make bin/pdb_mysql.so</command>
-in the <filename>source/</filename> directory of samba distribution.
-</para>
-
-<para>Next, copy pdb_mysql.so to any location you want. I
-strongly recommend installing it in $PREFIX/lib or /usr/lib/samba/</para>

-<sect1>
-<title>Creating the database</title>
-
-<para>
-You either can set up your own table and specify the field names to pdb_mysql (see below
-for the column names) or use the default table. The file <filename>examples/pdb/mysql/mysql.dump</filename>
-contains the correct queries to create the required tables. Use the command :
-
-<command>mysql -u<replaceable>username</replaceable> -h<replaceable>hostname</replaceable> -p<replaceable>password</replaceable> <replaceable>databasename</replaceable> < <filename>/path/to/samba/examples/pdb/mysql/mysql.dump</filename></command>

-<title>Configuring</title>
-
-<para>This plugin lacks some good documentation, but here is some short info:</para>
-
-<para>Add a the following to the <command>passdb backend</command> variable in your <filename>smb.conf</filename>:
-<programlisting>
-passdb backend = [other-plugins] plugin:/location/to/pdb_mysql.so:identifier [other-plugins]
-</programlisting>
-</para>
-
-<para>The identifier can be any string you like, as long as it doesn't collide with
-the identifiers of other plugins or other instances of pdb_mysql. If you
-specify multiple pdb_mysql.so entries in 'passdb backend', you also need to
-use different identifiers!
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Additional options can be given thru the smb.conf file in the [global] section.
-</para>

-<para><programlisting>
-identifier:mysql host - host name, defaults to 'localhost'
-identifier:mysql password
-identifier:mysql user - defaults to 'samba'
-identifier:mysql database - defaults to 'samba'
-identifier:mysql port - defaults to 3306
-identifier:table - Name of the table containing users
-</programlisting></para>
-
-<para>
-<emphasis>
-WARNING: since the password for the mysql user is stored in the
-smb.conf file, you should make the the smb.conf file
-readable only to the user that runs samba. This is considered a security
-bug and will be fixed soon.</emphasis>
