This is not for the faint of heart, but if you +are reading this then you are probably desperate. +</para> + +<para> +Actually its not as bad as the the above makes it sound, just don't +expect the output to be very pretty :-) +</para> + +<para> +Ok, down to business. One of the big advantages of unix systems is +that they nearly all come with a system trace utility that allows you +to monitor all system calls that a program is making. This is +extremely using for debugging and also helps when trying to work out +why something is slower than you expect. You can use system tracing +without any special compilation options. +</para> + +<para> +The system trace utility is called different things on different +systems. On Linux systems its called strace. Under SunOS 4 its called +trace. Under SVR4 style systems (including solaris) its called +truss. Under many BSD systems its called ktrace. +</para> + +<para> +The first thing you should do is read the man page for your native +system call tracer. In the discussion below I'll assume its called +strace as strace is the only portable system tracer (its available for +free for many unix types) and its also got some of the nicest +features. +</para> + +<para> +Next, try using strace on some simple commands. For example, <command>strace +ls</command> or <command>strace echo hello</command>. +</para> + +<para> +You'll notice that it produces a LOT of output. It is showing you the +arguments to every system call that the program makes and the +result. Very little happens in a program without a system call so you +get lots of output. You'll also find that it produces a lot of +"preamble" stuff showing the loading of shared libraries etc. Ignore +this (unless its going wrong!) +</para> + +<para> +For example, the only line that really matters in the <command>strace echo +hello</command> output is: +</para> + +<para><programlisting> +write(1, "hello\n", 6) = 6 +</programlisting></para> + +<para>all the rest is just setting up to run the program.</para> + +<para> +Ok, now you're familiar with strace. To use it on Samba you need to +strace the running smbd daemon. The way I tend ot use it is to first +login from my Windows PC to the Samba server, then use smbstatus to +find which process ID that client is attached to, then as root I do +<command>strace -p PID</command> to attach to that process. I normally redirect the +stderr output from this command to a file for later perusal. For +example, if I'm using a csh style shell: +</para> + +<para><command>strace -f -p 3872 >& strace.out</command></para> + +<para>or with a sh style shell:</para> + +<para><command>strace -f -p 3872 > strace.out 2>&1</command></para> + +<para> +Note the "-f" option. This is only available on some systems, and +allows you to trace not just the current process, but any children it +forks. This is great for finding printing problems caused by the +"print command" being wrong. +</para> + +<para> +Once you are attached you then can do whatever it is on the client +that is causing problems and you will capture all the system calls +that smbd makes. +</para> + +<para> +So how do you interpret the results? Generally I search through the +output for strings that I know will appear when the problem +happens. For example, if I am having touble with permissions on a file +I would search for that files name in the strace output and look at +the surrounding lines. Another trick is to match up file descriptor +numbers and "follow" what happens to an open file until it is closed. +</para> + +<para> +Beyond this you will have to use your initiative. To give you an idea +of what you are looking for here is a piece of strace output that +shows that <filename>/dev/null</filename> is not world writeable, which +causes printing to fail with Samba: +</para> + +<para><programlisting> +[pid 28268] open("/dev/null", O_RDWR) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) +[pid 28268] open("/dev/null", O_WRONLY) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) +</programlisting></para> + +<para> +The process is trying to first open <filename>/dev/null</filename> read-write +then read-only.

(This drawback also applies to threading smbd.) +</para> + +<para> +The longer versions is that there are very good reasons for not making +smbd multi-threaded.

Non-blocking + equivalents of many calls are either not available or are awkward (and + slow) to use. So while we block in one thread all clients are + waiting.

Unfortunately some OSes +defeat this by restricting longjmp to calling addresses that are +shallower than the current address on the stack (apparently AIX does +this). This makes a truly portable threads library impossible. So to +support all our current platforms we would have to code nmbd both with +and without threads, and as the real aim of threads is to make the +code clearer we would not have gained anything. (it is a myth that +threads make things faster. threading is like recursion, it can make +things clear but the same thing can always be done faster by some +other method) +</para> + +<para> +Chris tried to spec out a general design that would abstract threading +vs separate processes (vs other methods?) and make them accessible +through some general API. This doesn't work because of the data +sharing requirements of the protocol (packets in the future depending +on packets now, etc.) At least, the code would work but would be very +clumsy, and besides the fork() type model would never work on Unix. (Is there an OS that it would work on, for nmbd?) +</para> + +<para> +A fork() is cheap, but not nearly cheap enough to do on every UDP +packet that arrives. Having a pool of processes is possible but is +nasty to program cleanly due to the enormous amount of shared data (in +complex structures) between the processes. We can't rely on each +platform having a shared memory system. +</para> + +</sect1> + +<sect1> +<title>nbmd Design</title> + +<para> +Originally Andrew used recursion to simulate a multi-threaded +environment, which use the stack enormously and made for really +confusing debugging sessions. Luke Leighton rewrote it to use a +queuing system that keeps state information on each packet. The +first version used a single structure which was used by all the +pending states. As the initialisation of this structure was +done by adding arguments, as the functionality developed, it got +pretty messy. So, it was replaced with a higher-order function +and a pointer to a user-defined memory block. This suddenly +made things much simpler: large numbers of functions could be +made static, and modularised. This is the same principle as used +in NT's kernel, and achieves the same effect as threads, but in +a single process. +</para> + +<para> +Then Jeremy rewrote nmbd. The packet data in nmbd isn't what's on the +wire. It's a nice format that is very amenable to processing but still +keeps the idea of a distinct packet. See "struct packet_struct" in +nameserv.h. It has all the detail but none of the on-the-wire +mess. This makes it ideal for using in disk or memory-based databases +for browsing and WINS support. +</para> + +</sect1> +</chapter> diff --git a/docs/Samba3-Developers-Guide/cifsntdomain.xml b/docs/Samba3-Developers-Guide/cifsntdomain.xml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..2626c8fc13 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/Samba3-Developers-Guide/cifsntdomain.xml @@ -0,0 +1,2934 @@ +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> +<!DOCTYPE chapter PUBLIC "-//Samba-Team//DTD DocBook V4.2-Based Variant V1.0//EN" "http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD/samba-doc"> +<chapter id="ntdomain"> +<chapterinfo> + <author> + <firstname>Luke</firstname><surname>Leighton</surname> + <affiliation><address><email>lkcl@switchboard.net</email></address></affiliation> + </author> + <author> + <firstname>Paul</firstname><surname>Ashton</surname> + <affiliation><address><email>paul@argo.demon.co.uk</email></address></affiliation> + </author> + <author> + <firstname>Duncan</firstname><surname>Stansfield</surname> + <affiliation><address><email>duncans@sco.com</email></address></affiliation> + </author> + + <pubdate>01 November 97(version 0.0.24)</pubdate> +</chapterinfo> + +<title>NT Domain RPC's</title> + +<sect1> +<title>Introduction</title> + + +<para> +This document contains information to provide an NT workstation with login +services, without the need for an NT server.

The server uses a file containing a + hashed value of a user's password. This is created by taking + the user's plaintext password, capitalising it, and either + truncating to 14 bytes or padding to 14 bytes with null bytes. + This 14 byte value is used as two 56 bit DES keys to encrypt + a 'magic' eight byte value, forming a 16 byte value which is + stored by the server and client. Let this value be known as + the "hashed password".</para> + + <para>Windows NT encryption is a higher quality mechanism, + consisting of doing an MD4 hash on a Unicode version of the user's + password. This also produces a 16 byte hash value that is + non-reversible.</para> + + <para>When a client (LanManager, Windows for WorkGroups, Windows + 95 or Windows NT) wishes to mount a Samba drive (or use a Samba + resource), it first requests a connection and negotiates the + protocol that the client and server will use. In the reply to this + request the Samba server generates and appends an 8 byte, random + value - this is stored in the Samba server after the reply is sent + and is known as the "challenge". The challenge is different for + every client connection.</para> + + <para>The client then uses the hashed password (16 byte values + described above), appended with 5 null bytes, as three 56 bit + DES keys, each of which is used to encrypt the challenge 8 byte + value, forming a 24 byte value known as the "response".</para> + + <para>In the SMB call SMBsessionsetupX (when user level security + is selected) or the call SMBtconX (when share level security is + selected), the 24 byte response is returned by the client to the + Samba server. For Windows NT protocol levels the above calculation + is done on both hashes of the user's password and both responses are + returned in the SMB call, giving two 24 byte values.</para> + + <para>The Samba server then reproduces the above calculation, using + its own stored value of the 16 byte hashed password (read from the + <filename>smbpasswd</filename> file - described later) and the challenge + value that it kept from the negotiate protocol reply. It then checks + to see if the 24 byte value it calculates matches the 24 byte value + returned to it from the client.</para> + + <para>If these values match exactly, then the client knew the + correct password (or the 16 byte hashed value - see security note + below) and is thus allowed access. If not, then the client did not + know the correct password and is denied access.</para> + + <para>Note that the Samba server never knows or stores the cleartext + of the user's password - just the 16 byte hashed values derived from + it. Also note that the cleartext password or 16 byte hashed values + are never transmitted over the network - thus increasing security.</para> +</sect1> + +<sect1> + <title>The smbpasswd file</title> + <anchor id="SMBPASSWDFILEFORMAT"/> + <para>In order for Samba to participate in the above protocol + it must be able to look up the 16 byte hashed values given a user name. + Unfortunately, as the UNIX password value is also a one way hash + function (ie. it is impossible to retrieve the cleartext of the user's + password given the UNIX hash of it), a separate password file + containing this 16 byte value must be kept.

The problem is that the +user on the PC types the username and the password in different +contexts, unaware that they need to go together to give access to the +server. The username is normally the one the user typed in when they +"logged onto" the PC (this assumes Windows for Workgroups). The +password is the one they chose when connecting to the disk or printer. +</para> + +<para> +The user often chooses a totally different username for their login as +for the drive connection. Often they also want to access different +drives as different usernames. The unix server needs some way of +divining the correct username to combine with each password. +</para> + +<para> +Samba tries to avoid this problem using several methods. These succeed +in the vast majority of cases. The methods include username maps, the +service%user syntax, the saving of session setup usernames for later +validation and the derivation of the username from the service name +(either directly or via the user= option). +</para> + +</sect1> + +<sect1> +<title>File Ownership</title> + +<para> +The commonly used SMB protocols have no way of saying "you can't do +that because you don't own the file". They have, in fact, no concept +of file ownership at all. +</para> + +<para> +This brings up all sorts of interesting problems. For example, when +you copy a file to a unix drive, and the file is world writeable but +owned by another user the file will transfer correctly but will +receive the wrong date. This is because the utime() call under unix +only succeeds for the owner of the file, or root, even if the file is +world writeable. For security reasons Samba does all file operations +as the validated user, not root, so the utime() fails. This can stuff +up shared development diectories as programs like "make" will not get +file time comparisons right. +</para> + +<para> +There are several possible solutions to this problem, including +username mapping, and forcing a specific username for particular +shares. +</para> + +</sect1> + +<sect1> +<title>Passwords</title> + +<para> +Many SMB clients uppercase passwords before sending them. I have no +idea why they do this. Interestingly WfWg uppercases the password only +if the server is running a protocol greater than COREPLUS, so +obviously it isn't just the data entry routines that are to blame. +</para> + +<para> +Unix passwords are case sensitive. So if users use mixed case +passwords they are in trouble. +</para> + +<para> +Samba can try to cope with this by either using the "password level" +option which causes Samba to try the offered password with up to the +specified number of case changes, or by using the "password server" +option which allows Samba to do its validation via another machine +(typically a WinNT server). +</para> + +<para> +Samba supports the password encryption method used by SMB +clients. Note that the use of password encryption in Microsoft +networking leads to password hashes that are "plain text equivalent". +This means that it is *VERY* important to ensure that the Samba +smbpasswd file containing these password hashes is only readable +by the root user. See the documentation ENCRYPTION.txt for more +details. +</para> + +</sect1> + +<sect1> +<title>Locking</title> +<para> +Since samba 2.2, samba supports other types of locking as well. This +section is outdated. +</para> + +<para> +The locking calls available under a DOS/Windows environment are much +richer than those available in unix. This means a unix server (like +Samba) choosing to use the standard fcntl() based unix locking calls +to implement SMB locking has to improvise a bit. +</para> + +<para> +One major problem is that dos locks can be in a 32 bit (unsigned) +range. Unix locking calls are 32 bits, but are signed, giving only a 31 +bit range. Unfortunately OLE2 clients use the top bit to select a +locking range used for OLE semaphores. +</para> + +<para> +To work around this problem Samba compresses the 32 bit range into 31 +bits by appropriate bit shifting. This seems to work but is not +ideal. In a future version a separate SMB lockd may be added to cope +with the problem. +</para> + +<para> +It also doesn't help that many unix lockd daemons are very buggy and +crash at the slightest provocation. They normally go mostly unused in +a unix environment because few unix programs use byte range +locking. The stress of huge numbers of lock requests from dos/windows +clients can kill the daemon on some systems. +</para> + +<para> +The second major problem is the "opportunistic locking" requested by +some clients. If a client requests opportunistic locking then it is +asking the server to notify it if anyone else tries to do something on +the same file, at which time the client will say if it is willing to +give up its lock. Unix has no simple way of implementing +opportunistic locking, and currently Samba has no support for it. +</para> + +</sect1> + +<sect1> +<title>Deny Modes</title> + +<para> +When a SMB client opens a file it asks for a particular "deny mode" to +be placed on the file. These modes (DENY_NONE, DENY_READ, DENY_WRITE, +DENY_ALL, DENY_FCB and DENY_DOS) specify what actions should be +allowed by anyone else who tries to use the file at the same time. If +DENY_READ is placed on the file, for example, then any attempt to open +the file for reading should fail. +</para> + +<para> +Unix has no equivalent notion. To implement this Samba uses either lock +files based on the files inode and placed in a separate lock +directory or a shared memory implementation. The lock file method +is clumsy and consumes processing and file resources, +the shared memory implementation is vastly prefered and is turned on +by default for those systems that support it. +</para> + +</sect1> + +<sect1> +<title>Trapdoor UIDs</title> +<para> +A SMB session can run with several uids on the one socket. This +happens when a user connects to two shares with different +usernames. To cope with this the unix server needs to switch uids +within the one process. On some unixes (such as SCO) this is not +possible. This means that on those unixes the client is restricted to +a single uid. +</para> + +<para> +Note that you can also get the "trapdoor uid" message for other +reasons. Please see the FAQ for details. +</para> + +</sect1> + +<sect1> +<title>Port numbers</title> +<para> +There is a convention that clients on sockets use high "unprivileged" +port numbers (>1000) and connect to servers on low "privilegedg" port +numbers. This is enforced in Unix as non-root users can't open a +socket for listening on port numbers less than 1000. +</para> + +<para> +Most PC based SMB clients (such as WfWg and WinNT) don't follow this +convention completely. The main culprit is the netbios nameserving on +udp port 137. Name query requests come from a source port of 137. This +is a problem when you combine it with the common firewalling technique +of not allowing incoming packets on low port numbers. This means that +these clients can't query a netbios nameserver on the other side of a +low port based firewall. +</para> + +<para> +The problem is more severe with netbios node status queries. I've +found that WfWg, Win95 and WinNT3.5 all respond to netbios node status +queries on port 137 no matter what the source port was in the +request. This works between machines that are both using port 137, but +it means it's not possible for a unix user to do a node status request +to any of these OSes unless they are running as root. The answer comes +back, but it goes to port 137 which the unix user can't listen +on. Interestingly WinNT3.1 got this right - it sends node status +responses back to the source port in the request. +</para> + +</sect1> + +<sect1> +<title>Protocol Complexity</title> +<para> +There are many "protocol levels" in the SMB protocol. It seems that +each time new functionality was added to a Microsoft operating system, +they added the equivalent functions in a new protocol level of the SMB +protocol to "externalise" the new capabilities. +</para> + +<para> +This means the protocol is very "rich", offering many ways of doing +each file operation. This means SMB servers need to be complex and +large. It also means it is very difficult to make them bug free. It is +not just Samba that suffers from this problem, other servers such as +WinNT don't support every variation of every call and it has almost +certainly been a headache for MS developers to support the myriad of +SMB calls that are available. +</para> + +<para> +There are about 65 "top level" operations in the SMB protocol (things +like SMBread and SMBwrite). Some of these include hundreds of +sub-functions (SMBtrans has at least 120 sub-functions, like +DosPrintQAdd and NetSessionEnum). All of them take several options +that can change the way they work. Many take dozens of possible +"information levels" that change the structures that need to be +returned. Samba supports all but 2 of the "top level" functions. It +supports only 8 (so far) of the SMBtrans sub-functions. Even NT +doesn't support them all. +</para> + +<para> +Samba currently supports up to the "NT LM 0.12" protocol, which is the +one preferred by Win95 and WinNT3.5. Luckily this protocol level has a +"capabilities" field which specifies which super-duper new-fangled +options the server suports. This helps to make the implementation of +this protocol level much easier. +</para> + +<para> +There is also a problem with the SMB specications. SMB is a X/Open +spec, but the X/Open book is far from ideal, and fails to cover many +important issues, leaving much to the imagination. Microsoft recently +renamed the SMB protocol CIFS (Common Internet File System) and have +published new specifications. These are far superior to the old +X/Open documents but there are still undocumented calls and features. +This specification is actively being worked on by a CIFS developers +mailing list hosted by Microsft. +</para> +</sect1> +</chapter> + diff --git a/docs/Samba3-Developers-Guide/vfs.xml b/docs/Samba3-Developers-Guide/vfs.xml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..25a45b6875 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/Samba3-Developers-Guide/vfs.xml @@ -0,0 +1,799 @@ +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> +<!DOCTYPE chapter PUBLIC "-//Samba-Team//DTD DocBook V4.2-Based Variant V1.0//EN" "http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD/samba-doc"> +<chapter id="vfs"> +<chapterinfo> + <author> + <firstname>Alexander</firstname><surname>Bokovoy</surname> + <affiliation> + <address><email>ab@samba.org</email></address> + </affiliation> + </author> + <author> + <firstname>Stefan</firstname><surname>Metzmacher</surname> + <affiliation> + <address><email>metze@samba.org</email></address> + </affiliation> + </author> + <pubdate> 27 May 2003 </pubdate> +</chapterinfo> + +<title>VFS Modules</title> + +<sect1> +<title>The Samba (Posix) VFS layer</title> + +<sect2> +<title>The general interface</title> + +<para> +Each VFS operation has a vfs_op_type, a function pointer and a handle pointer in the +struct vfs_ops and tree macros to make it easier to call the operations. +(Take a look at <filename>include/vfs.h</filename> and <filename>include/vfs_macros.h</filename>.) +</para> + +<para><programlisting> +typedef enum _vfs_op_type { + SMB_VFS_OP_NOOP = -1, + + ... + + /* File operations */ + + SMB_VFS_OP_OPEN, + SMB_VFS_OP_CLOSE, + SMB_VFS_OP_READ, + SMB_VFS_OP_WRITE, + SMB_VFS_OP_LSEEK, + SMB_VFS_OP_SENDFILE, + + ... + + SMB_VFS_OP_LAST +} vfs_op_type; +</programlisting></para> + +<para>This struct contains the function and handle pointers for all operations.<programlisting> +struct vfs_ops { + struct vfs_fn_pointers { + ... + + /* File operations */ + + int (*open)(struct vfs_handle_struct *handle, + struct connection_struct *conn, + const char *fname, int flags, mode_t mode); + int (*close)(struct vfs_handle_struct *handle, + struct files_struct *fsp, int fd); + ssize_t (*read)(struct vfs_handle_struct *handle, + struct files_struct *fsp, int fd, void *data, size_t n); + ssize_t (*write)(struct vfs_handle_struct *handle, + struct files_struct *fsp, int fd, + const void *data, size_t n); + SMB_OFF_T (*lseek)(struct vfs_handle_struct *handle, + struct files_struct *fsp, int fd, + SMB_OFF_T offset, int whence); + ssize_t (*sendfile)(struct vfs_handle_struct *handle, + int tofd, files_struct *fsp, int fromfd, + const DATA_BLOB *header, SMB_OFF_T offset, size_t count); + + ... + } ops; + + struct vfs_handles_pointers { + ... + + /* File operations */ + + struct vfs_handle_struct *open; + struct vfs_handle_struct *close; + struct vfs_handle_struct *read; + struct vfs_handle_struct *write; + struct vfs_handle_struct *lseek; + struct vfs_handle_struct *sendfile; + + ... + } handles; +}; +</programlisting></para> + +<para> +This macros SHOULD be used to call any vfs operation. +DO NOT ACCESS conn->vfs.ops.* directly !!! +<programlisting> +... + +/* File operations */ +#define SMB_VFS_OPEN(conn, fname, flags, mode) \ + ((conn)->vfs.ops.open((conn)->vfs.handles.open,\ + (conn), (fname), (flags), (mode))) +#define SMB_VFS_CLOSE(fsp, fd) \ + ((fsp)->conn->vfs.ops.close(\ + (fsp)->conn->vfs.handles.close, (fsp), (fd))) +#define SMB_VFS_READ(fsp, fd, data, n) \ + ((fsp)->conn->vfs.ops.read(\ + (fsp)->conn->vfs.handles.read,\ + (fsp), (fd), (data), (n))) +#define SMB_VFS_WRITE(fsp, fd, data, n) \ + ((fsp)->conn->vfs.ops.write(\ + (fsp)->conn->vfs.handles.write,\ + (fsp), (fd), (data), (n))) +#define SMB_VFS_LSEEK(fsp, fd, offset, whence) \ + ((fsp)->conn->vfs.ops.lseek(\ + (fsp)->conn->vfs.handles.lseek,\ + (fsp), (fd), (offset), (whence))) +#define SMB_VFS_SENDFILE(tofd, fsp, fromfd, header, offset, count) \ + ((fsp)->conn->vfs.ops.sendfile(\ + (fsp)->conn->vfs.handles.sendfile,\ + (tofd), (fsp), (fromfd), (header), (offset), (count))) + +... +</programlisting></para> + +</sect2> + +<sect2> +<title>Possible VFS operation layers</title> + +<para> +These values are used by the VFS subsystem when building the conn->vfs +and conn->vfs_opaque structs for a connection with multiple VFS modules. +Internally, Samba differentiates only opaque and transparent layers at this process. +Other types are used for providing better diagnosing facilities. +</para> + +<para> +Most modules will provide transparent layers.
