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. - - + 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. + Parameters ---------- - Modified Parameters (see smb.conf(5) for details): - - * passdb backend - - Added Parameters - - * ldap del only sam attr - * ldap delete dn - - + Removed Parameters + + * total print jobs + + Known Issues + ------------ + + The following are known issues with this release and will be corrected + in future versions: + + 1) Automatically generating accounts for users and groups from + trusted domains when Samba is acting as a PDC + 2) Maintaining idmap ID's in a LDAP directory in order to implement + a distributed winbind solution + 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 -27) Add new gencache based namecache code -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 -34) Add support for compiling with Heimdal kerberos libraries -35) Connect to the actual netbios name in smb.conf and not LOCALHOST -36) Add support for CUPS-PRINTER_CLASS -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.
