This is *not* +This is the first preview release of Samba 3.3.0. 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. - o Support for IPv6 in the server, and client tools and libraries. - o Support for storing alternate data streams in xattrs. - o Encrypted SMB transport in client tools and libraries, and server. - o Support for Vista clients authenticating via Kerberos. - - 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 Expansion of nested domain groups via NSS calls. - o Support for Active Directory LDAP Signing policy. - o New LGPL Winbind client library (libwbclient.so). - o Support for establishing interdomain trust relationships with - Windows 2008. - - Joining: - o New NetApi library for domain join related queries (libnetapi.so) - and example GTK+ Domain join gui. - o New client and server support for remotely joining and unjoining - Domains. - o Support for joining into Windows 2008 domains. - - Users & Groups: - o New ldb backend for local group mapping tables - o Raised level of security defaults for authentication operations. - o New NetApi library for user account related queries. - - - Documentation: - o Inclusion of an HTML 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 improve compatibility 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 settings. This feature may be enabled by setting -"config backend = registry" in the [global] section of smb.conf for a -registry only configuration, or by specifying "include = registry" to -include global options from registry for a mixed setup. - -The new parameter "registry shares = yes" in the [global] section of -smb.conf can be used to activate share definitions from registry. -These shares are loaded on demand by the server. Registry shares are -automatically activated by the global registry options above. - -The configuration stored in registry can be conveniently 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. - -As smbfs is no longer supported in current kernel versions, smbmount has -been removed in this Samba version. Please use cifs (mount.cifs) instead. -See examples/scripts/mount/mount.smbfs as an example for a wrapper which -calls mount.cifs instead of smbmount/mount.smbfs. - - -Modified API for libsmbclient -============================================================================== - -Maintaining ABI compatibility for libsmbclient has become increasingly -difficult to accomplish, while also keeping the code organization such that it -is easily readable. Towards the goal of maintaining ABI compatibility and -also keeping the code easy to maintain and enhance, the API has been enhanced. -In particular, the fields in the SMBCCTX context structure are no longer -intended to be read/write by the user, and are marked as deprecated. An -application that previously accessed the members of the SMBCCTX context -structure will now encounter warnings if recompiled. This is intentional, to -encourage implementation of the small changes required for the new interface. -The number of changes is expected to be quite small for the vast majority of -applications, and no changes need be made for many applications. The changes -required for KDE (konqueror) to conform to the new interface, for example, are -only four lines in only one file. - -Instead of the application manually changing or reading values in the context -structure, there are now setter and getter functions for each configurable -member in that structure. Similarly, the smbc_option_get() and -smbc_option_set() functions are deprecated in favor of the setter/getter -interface. The setters and getters are all documented in libsmbclient.h -under these comment blocks: - - Getters and setters for CONFIGURATION - Getters and setters for OPTIONS - Getters and setters for FUNCTIONS - Callable functions for files - Callable functions for directories - Callable functions applicable to both files and directories - -Example changes that may be required to eliminate "deprecated" warnings: - - /* Set the debug level */ - context->debug = 99; -changes to: - smbc_setDebug(context, 99); - - /* Specify the authentication callback function */ - context->callbacks.auth_fn = auth_smbc_get_data; -changes to: - smbc_setFunctionAuthData(context, auth_smbc_get_data); - - /* Specify the new-style authentication callback with context parameter */ - smbc_option_set("auth_function", auth_smbc_get_data_with_ctx); -changes to: - smbc_setFunctionAuthDataWithContext(context, auth_smbc_get_data_with_ctx); - - /* Set kerberos flags */ - context->flags = (SMB_CTX_FLAG_USE_KERBEROS | - SMB_CTX_FLAG_FALLBACK_AFTER_KERBEROS); -changes to: - smbc_setOptionUseKerberos(context, 1); - smbc_setOptionFallbackAfterKerberos(context, 1); - - - - -###################################################################### -Changes -####### - -smb.conf changes ----------------- -
