The intent was that an administrator could decide to use the <span class="emphasis"><em>tdbsam</em></span> -backend and by simply specifying <span class="emphasis"><em>"passdb backend = tdbsam_nua, guest"</em></span> -this would allow Samba-3 to implement a solution that did not use Unix accounts per se. Late -in the development cycle, the team doing this work hit upon some obstacles that prevents this -solution from being used. Given the delays with Samba-3 release a decision was made to NOT -deliver this functionality until a better method of recognising NT Group SIDs from NT User -SIDs could be found.

Samba can check these - passwords by crypting them and comparing them to the hash stored in the unix user database. - </p><p> - Newer windows clients send encrypted passwords (so-called Lanman and NT hashes) over - the wire, instead of plain text passwords. The newest clients will send only encrypted - passwords and refuse to send plain text passwords, unless their registry is tweaked. - </p><p> - 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. - </p><p> - In addition to differently encrypted passwords, windows also stores certain data for each - user that is not stored in a unix user database. e.g: workstations the user may logon from, - the location where the users' profile is stored, and so on. Samba retrieves and stores this - information using a <i class="parameter"><tt>passdb backend</tt></i>. Commonly available backends are LDAP, plain text - file, MySQL and nisplus. For more information, see the man page for <tt class="filename">smb.conf</tt> regarding the - <i class="parameter"><tt>passdb backend</tt></i> parameter. - </p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2908644"></a>Important Notes About Security</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p> - 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 data stored in whatever passdb - backend you use (smbpasswd file, ldap, mysql) as though it contained the cleartext - passwords of all your users. Its contents must be kept secret, and the file should - be protected accordingly. - </p><p> - Ideally we would like a password scheme that involves neither plain text passwords - on the net nor on disk. Unfortunately this is not available as Samba is stuck with - having to be compatible with other SMB systems (WinNT, WfWg, Win95 etc). - </p><p> - Windows NT 4.0 Service pack 3 changed the default setting so that plaintext passwords - are disabled from being sent over the wire. This mandates either the use of encrypted - password support or edit the Windows NT registry to re-enable plaintext passwords. - </p><p> - The following versions of MS Windows do not support full domain security protocols, - although they may log onto a domain environment: - </p><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>MS DOS Network client 3.0 with the basic network redirector installed</td></tr><tr><td>Windows 95 with the network redirector update installed</td></tr><tr><td>Windows 98 [se]</td></tr><tr><td>Windows Me</td></tr></table><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p> - MS Windows XP Home does not have facilities to become a domain member and it can - not participate in domain logons. - </p></div><p> - The following versions of MS Windows fully support domain security protocols. - </p><table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list"><tr><td>Windows NT 3.5x</td></tr><tr><td>Windows NT 4.0</td></tr><tr><td>Windows 2000 Professional</td></tr><tr><td>Windows 200x Server/Advanced Server</td></tr><tr><td>Windows XP Professional</td></tr></table><p> - All current release of Microsoft SMB/CIFS clients support authentication via the - SMB Challenge/Response mechanism described here.

Where plain text passwords - are re-enabled, through the appropriate registry change, the plain text password is NEVER - cached. This means that in the event that a network connections should become disconnected - (broken) only the cached (encrypted) password will be sent to the resource server to - affect a auto-reconnect.
