+ <title>The SMB/CIFS protocol</title>
+
+ <!--
+ Some parts shamelessly borrowed from myself.
+ Original on http://jelmer.vernstok.nl/publications/cifs-developments.pdf
+ -->
+
+ <para>
+ "SMB" (also known as "CIFS") is a
+ file-sharing protocol that has been used since the mid-eighties.
+ Most people know SMB as the protocol behind the "Network Neighbourhood"
+ and remote printing in Windows.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Several parts of the protocol are not discussed in this chapter, such
+ as mailslots, browsing and dfs, to prevent it from getting too complex.
+ CIFS internals are documented in detail in <citation>Hertel, 2003</citation>.
+ </para>
+
+
+ <sect1>
+ <title>History</title>
+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Invention by IBM</title>
+
+ <para>
+ SMB is not very old, but it has a long history of modifications and extensions.
+ The original protocol was meant to run over ``NetBIOS'', which was the
+ name of the DOS interface to a very simple LAN system developed by IBM.
+ NetBIOS was developed because SNA, IBM's other main
+ protocol at the time, was much too advanced for use in DOS.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The NetBIOS API in these days (early eighties) was nothing more then the
+ interface to a very simple link-layer protocol
+ over which several protocols, including SMB, were used. It could do reads and
+ writes to services on remote hosts, which were identified by case-insensitive
+ names, and discover all available hosts and services.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Dr. Barry Feigenbau, an IBM employee, invented the core of the original SMB protocol,
+ which he initially named after himself: ``BAF''. He later changed the name to
+ be ``SMB'' (for ``Server Message Block''). Every packet in the protocol
+ starts with a byte $0xFF$ and these three letters.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ IBM, Microsoft, 3Com and Intel made up the rest of the initial protocol
+ together. The commands the protocol supported at this stage were basically
+ a mirror of the DOS File IO API calls, which meant the protocol wasn't very
+ efficient. The protocol also lacked authentication support. Everybody on the
+ network could do reads and writes, which meant this protocol
+ wasn't very suitable for large enterprises.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ NetBIOS is an API that has had various implementations; there is
+ NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NBT), NetBIOS over IPX, NetBIOS over SNA and
+ even NetBIOS over DECNEt. Mostly used these days is
+ NetBIOS over TCP (NBT).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This is also were things are starting to get hairy. Since NetBIOS identifies
+ hosts by their name, NetBIOS clients had to start doing IP broadcasts to
+ figure out the IP of the host they had to connect to. Several schemes were
+ introduced to do name lookups crossing subnet boundaries, using name servers,
+ etc. We're basically emulating a NetBIOS LAN in order to be able to run SMB.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Doing NetBIOS over IP is not very sane, however, the NBT implementation itself
+ in Windows isn't very nice either. It has horrible
+ limits, special exceptions, several broken schemes for looking up
+ names (including two kinds of name servers). NetBIOS and NetBIOS over TCP/IP
+ are described in RFC1001 and RFC1002.
+ </para>
+ </sect2>
+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>The various incarnations of SMB</title>
+
+ <para>Over the years, several usage models for SMB have been developed. While SMB originally started out as a file sharing protocol, it was later extended to include support for network management and other network services
+ as well.</para>
+
+ <para>
+ One of the reasons for the various "upgrades" of the SMB
+ protocol is the fact that networks have become larger
+ and larger and with them the need for privilege separation
+ and scalability has increased.
+ </para>
+
+ <sect3>
+ <title>DOS</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The original model in which SMB was used was as a
+ simple file-sharing service in a NetBIOS-environment.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ File sharing worked basically by specifying a list of directories that had
+ to be shared and what name they had to be shared under ("shares"). Eventually,
+ one could password-protect a share. At most one password per share could be set.
+ </para>
+ </sect3>
+
+ <sect3>
+ <title>Windows For Workgroups</title>
+
+ <para>
+ After the ``CORE'' dialect,
+ IBM and Microsoft implemented a new dialect known as ``LANMAN''.
+ This dialect was used by Windows for
+ Workgroups, OS/2 and Windows 9x which all know it under a different name. A
+ 'virtual' file system was also added, which was used for doing remote function
+ calls (RAP, for ``Remote Administration Protocol'').
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Computers are grouped into "Workgroups" in this model. Everybody is equal to
+ the others and there is no central point of control.
+ </para>
+ </sect3>
+
+ <sect3>
+ <title>Windows NT</title>
+ <para>
+ For Windows NT, yet another dialect was added, named 'NT'. The NT dialect
+ had it's own set of file I/O functions (similar to the NT File I/O API)
+ and it had support for yet another way of doing remote function calls:
+ DCE/RPC. RPC's are used for DCOM and several of the subsystems in NT
+ that can be accessed remotely (registry, printing, user management, logging
+ on, etc).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Windows NT works with a new concept for grouping computers called ``domains''<footnote>In the protocol, domains are actually an upgraded version of a workgroup</footnote>. Each computer is member of exactly one domain. There are several roles a computer can have in the domain: PDC (primary domain controller, the "manager" of the domain, that coordinates all authentication and authorization), BDC (Backup domain controller, in case the PDC goes down) or just a regular domain member. The PDC decides who is to be a member of the domain.
+ </para>
+ </sect3>
+
+ <sect3>
+ <title>Windows 2000</title>
+ <para>
+ In Windows NT 5 (marketing name: Windows 2000), NetBIOS-less SMB was
+ introduced. This means SMB is used directly over TCP port 445 instead of
+ via NetBIOS over TCP/IP. DNS
+ is used for looking up machine names.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>Windows 2000 was also the first operating system from Microsoft
+ that had support for Active Directory. Active Directory is very
+ similar to the "domain" concept used by NT4, though it
+ is implemented differently (using modified open protocols),
+ and has some additional features (one of the most important ones being decentralized).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Active directory no longer uses a central point of authority
+ and there are fewer limits to the size of a domain. Several
+ DC's can exist, so there is no longer a single point of
+ failure as well as better scalability.

- on the host running the server).</para>
-
- <para>Sections may be designated <emphasis>guest</emphasis> services,
- in which case no password is required to access them. A specified
- UNIX <emphasis>guest account</emphasis> is used to define access
- privileges in this case.</para>
-
- <para>Sections other than guest services will require a password
- to access them. The client provides the username. As older clients
- only provide passwords and not usernames, you may specify a list
- of usernames to check against the password using the <quote>user =</quote>
- option in the share definition. For modern clients such as

- <para>An important point is that if guest access is specified
- in the [homes] section, all home directories will be

- In the very unlikely event that this is actually desirable, it
- is wise to also specify <emphasis>read only access</emphasis>.</para>
-
- <para>The <emphasis>browseable</emphasis> flag for
- auto home directories will be inherited from the global browseable
- flag, not the [homes] browseable flag. This is useful as
- it means setting <emphasis>browseable = no</emphasis> in
- the [homes] section will hide the [homes] share but make
- any auto home directories visible.</para>
- </refsect2>
-
- <refsect2 id="PRINTERSSECT">
- <title>The [printers] section</title>
-
- <para>This section works like [homes],
- but for printers.</para>
-
- <para>If a [printers] section occurs in the
- configuration file, users are able to connect to any printer
- specified in the local host's printcap file.</para>
-
- <para>When a connection request is made, the existing sections
- are scanned. If a match is found, it is used. If no match is found,
- but a [homes] section exists, it is used as described
- above. Otherwise, the requested section name is treated as a
- printer name and the appropriate printcap file is scanned to see
- if the requested section name is a valid printer share name. If
- a match is found, a new printer share is created by cloning
- the [printers] section.</para>
-
- <para>A few modifications are then made to the newly created
- share:</para>
-
- <itemizedlist>

-
- <listitem><para>If the share does not permit guest access and

- </itemizedlist>
-
- <para>The [printers] service MUST be
- printable - if you specify otherwise, the server will refuse
- to load the configuration file.</para>
-
- <para>Typically the path specified is that of a
- world-writeable spool directory with the sticky bit set on
- it. A typical [printers] entry looks like
- this:</para>
-
- <smbconfexample>

- <smbconfoption name="path">/usr/spool/public</smbconfoption>
- <smbconfoption name="guest ok">yes</smbconfoption>
- <smbconfoption name="printable">yes</smbconfoption>
- </smbconfexample>
-
- <para>All aliases given for a printer in the printcap file
- are legitimate printer names as far as the server is concerned.
- If your printing subsystem doesn't work like that, you will have
- to set up a pseudo-printcap. This is a file consisting of one or
- more lines like this:</para>
-
- <programlisting>
-alias|alias|alias|alias...
- </programlisting>
-
- <para>Each alias should be an acceptable printer name for
- your printing subsystem. In the [global] section, specify
- the new file as your printcap. The server will only recognize
- names found in your pseudo-printcap, which of course can contain
- whatever aliases you like. The same technique could be used
- simply to limit access to a subset of your local printers.</para>
-
- <para>An alias, by the way, is defined as any component of the
- first entry of a printcap record. Records are separated by newlines,
- components (if there are more than one) are separated by vertical
- bar symbols (<quote>|</quote>).</para>
-
- <note><para>On SYSV systems which use lpstat to determine what
- printers are defined on the system you may be able to use
- <quote>printcap name = lpstat</quote> to automatically obtain a list
- of printers. See the <quote>printcap name</quote> option
- for more details.</para></note>

- <title>PARAMETERS</title>
-
- <para>Parameters define the specific attributes of sections.</para>
-
- <para>Some parameters are specific to the [global] section
- (e.g., <emphasis>security</emphasis>). Some parameters are usable
- in all sections (e.g., <emphasis>create mode</emphasis>). All others
- are permissible only in normal sections. For the purposes of the
- following descriptions the [homes] and [printers]
- sections will be considered normal. The letter <emphasis>G</emphasis>
- in parentheses indicates that a parameter is specific to the
- [global] section. The letter <emphasis>S</emphasis>
- indicates that a parameter can be specified in a service specific
- section. All <emphasis>S</emphasis> parameters can also be specified in
- the [global] section - in which case they will define
- the default behavior for all services.</para>
-
- <para>Parameters are arranged here in alphabetical order - this may
- not create best bedfellows, but at least you can find them! Where
- there are synonyms, the preferred synonym is described, others refer

+By default, Samba as a Domain Controller with an LDAP backend needs to use the
+Unix-style NSS subsystem to access user and group information. Due to the way
+Unix stores user information in /etc/passwd and /etc/group this inevitably
+leads to inefficiencies. One important question a user needs to know is the
+list of groups he is member of. The plain Unix model involves a complete
+enumeration of the file /etc/group and its NSS counterparts in LDAP. In this
+particular case there often optimized functions are available in Unix, but for
+other queries there is no optimized function available.</para>
+
+<para>To make Samba scale well in large environments, the ldapsam:trusted=yes
+option assumes that the complete user and group database that is relevant to
+Samba is stored in LDAP with the standard posixAccount/posixGroup model, and
+that the Samba auxiliary object classes are stored together with the the posix
+data in the same LDAP object. If these assumptions are met,
+ldapsam:trusted=yes can be activated and Samba can completely bypass the NSS
+system to query user information. Optimized LDAP queries can speed up domain
+logon and administration tasks a lot. Depending on the size of the LDAP
+database a factor of 100 or more for common queries is easily achieved.</para>

+ <para>This option allows you to specify a file containing
+ a mapping of usernames from the clients to the server. This can be
+ used for several purposes. The most common is to map usernames
+ that users use on DOS or Windows machines to those that the UNIX
+ box uses. The other is to map multiple users to a single username
+ so that they can more easily share files.</para>
+
+ <para>The map file is parsed line by line. Each line should
+ contain a single UNIX username on the left then a '=' followed
+ by a list of usernames on the right. The list of usernames on the
+ right may contain names of the form @group in which case they
+ will match any UNIX username in that group. The special client
+ name '*' is a wildcard and matches any name. Each line of the
+ map file may be up to 1023 characters long.</para>
+
+ <para>The file is processed on each line by taking the
+ supplied username and comparing it with each username on the right
+ hand side of the '=' signs. If the supplied name matches any of
+ the names on the right hand side then it is replaced with the name
+ on the left. Processing then continues with the next line.</para>
+
+ <para>If any line begins with a '#' or a ';' then it is ignored</para>
+
+ <para>If any line begins with an '!' then the processing
+ will stop after that line if a mapping was done by the line.
+ Otherwise mapping continues with every line being processed.
+ Using '!' is most useful when you have a wildcard mapping line
+ later in the file.</para>
+
+ <para>For example to map from the name <constant>admin</constant>
+ or <constant>administrator</constant> to the UNIX name <constant>
+ root</constant> you would use:</para>
+
+ <para><command moreinfo="none">root = admin administrator</command></para>
+
+ <para>Or to map anyone in the UNIX group <constant>system</constant>
+ to the UNIX name <constant>sys</constant> you would use:</para>
+
+ <para><command moreinfo="none">sys = @system</command></para>
+
+ <para>You can have as many mappings as you like in a username map file.</para>
+
+
+ <para>If your system supports the NIS NETGROUP option then
+ the netgroup database is checked before the <filename moreinfo="none">/etc/group
+ </filename> database for matching groups.</para>
+
+ <para>You can map Windows usernames that have spaces in them
+ by using double quotes around the name. For example:</para>
+
+ <para><command moreinfo="none">tridge = "Andrew Tridgell"</command></para>
+
+ <para>would map the windows username "Andrew Tridgell" to the
+ unix username "tridge".</para>
+
+ <para>The following example would map mary and fred to the
+ unix user sys, and map the rest to guest. Note the use of the
+ '!' to tell Samba to stop processing if it gets a match on
+ that line.</para>
+
+<para><programlisting format="linespecific">
+!sys = mary fred
+guest = *
+</programlisting></para>
+
+ <para>Note that the remapping is applied to all occurrences
+ of usernames. Thus if you connect to \\server\fred and <constant>
+ fred</constant> is remapped to <constant>mary</constant> then you
+ will actually be connecting to \\server\mary and will need to
+ supply a password suitable for <constant>mary</constant> not
+ <constant>fred</constant>. The only exception to this is the
+ username passed to the <link linkend="PASSWORDSERVER"><parameter moreinfo="none">
+ password server</parameter></link> (if you have one). The password
+ server will receive whatever username the client supplies without
+ modification.</para>
+
+ <para>Also note that no reverse mapping is done. The main effect
+ this has is with printing. Users who have been mapped may have
+ trouble deleting print jobs as PrintManager under WfWg will think
+ they don't own the print job.</para>
+
+ <para>
+ Samba versions prior to 3.0.8 would only support reading the fully qualified
+ username (e.g.: DOMAIN\user) from the username map when performing a
+ kerberos login from a client. However, when looking up a map

+ <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+
+ <para>pidl is an IDL compiler written in Perl that aims to be somewhat
+ compatible with the midl compiler. IDL stands for
+ "Interface Definition Language".</para>
+
+ <para>pidl can generate stubs for DCE/RPC server code, DCE/RPC
+ client code and ethereal dissectors for DCE/RPC traffic.</para>
+
+ <para>IDL compilers like <emphasis>pidl</emphasis> take a description
+ of an interface as their input and use it to generate C
+ (though support for other languages may be added later) code that
+ can use these interfaces, pretty print data sent
+ using these interfaces, or even generate ethereal
+ dissectors that can parse data sent over the
+ wire by these interfaces. </para>
+
+ <para>pidl takes IDL files in the same format that is used by midl,
+ converts it to a .pidl file (which contains pidl's internal representation of the interface) and can then generate whatever output you need.
+ .pidl files should be used for debugging purposes only. Write your
+ interface definitions in (midl) .idl format.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The goal of pidl is to implement a IDL compiler that can be used
+ while developing the RPC subsystem in Samba (for
+ both marshalling/un-marshalling and debugging purposes).</para>

+ <title>SYNTAX</title>
+
+ <para>IDL files are always preprocessed using the C preprocessor.</para>
+
+ <para>Each IDL file describes exactly one interface. Interfaces
+ can contain several C-like function definitions.</para>
+
+ <para>Pretty much everything in an interface (the interface itself,
+ functions, parameters) can have attributes (or properties
+ whatever name you give them). Attributes
+ always prepend the element they apply to and are surrounded
+ by square brackets ([]). Multiple attributes
+ are separated by comma's; arguments to attributes are
+ specified between parentheses. </para>
+
+ <para>See the section COMPATIBILITY for the list of attributes that
+ pidl supports.</para>
+
+ <para>C-style comments can be used.</para>
+
+</refsect1>
+
+<refsect1>
+ <title>MIDL TYPES</title>
+
+<para>
+pidl uses slightly different types to midl by default. The following
+defines in your MS IDL may make things easier to use the same IDL on
+both platforms.
+</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+#define unistr [string] wchar_t *
+#define uint8 char
+#define uint16 short
+#define uint32 long
+#define HYPER_T hyper
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>
+ Let's look at the multiple ways you can encode an array.
+</para>
+
+<refsect2>
+ <title>CONFORMANT ARRAYS</title>
+
+ <para>
+A conformant array is one with that ends in [*] or []. The strange
+things about conformant arrays are:
+</para>
+
+<simplelist>
+ <member>they can only appear as the last element of a structure</member>
+ <member>the array size appears before the structure itself on the wire. </member>
+</simplelist>
+
+<para>
+ So, in this example:
+</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+ typedef struct {
+ long abc;
+ long count;
+ long foo;
+ [size_is(count)] long s[*];
+ } Struct1;
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>
+it appears like this:
+</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+[size_is] [abc] [count] [foo] [s...]
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>
+the first [size_is] field is the allocation size of the array, and
+occurs before the array elements and even before the structure
+alignment.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Note that size_is() can refer to a constant, but that doesn't change
+the wire representation. It does not make the array a fixed array.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+midl.exe would write the above array as the following C header:
+</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+ typedef struct {
+ long abc;
+ long count;
+ long foo;
+ long s[1];
+ } Struct1;
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>
+pidl takes a different approach, and writes it like this:
+</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+ typedef struct {
+ long abc;
+ long count;
+ long foo;
+ long *s;
+ } Struct1;
+</programlisting>
+
+</refsect2>
+
+<refsect2>
+ <title>VARYING ARRAYS</title>
+
+
+<para>
+A varying array looks like this:
+</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+ typedef struct {
+ long abc;
+ long count;
+ long foo;
+ [size_is(count)] long *s;
+ } Struct1;
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>
+This will look like this on the wire:
+</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+[abc] [count] [foo] [PTR_s] [count] [s...]
+</programlisting>
+
+</refsect2>
+
+<refsect2>
+ <title>FIXED ARRAYS</title>
+
+<para>
+A fixed array looks like this:
+</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+ typedef struct {
+ long s[10];
+ } Struct1;
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>
+The NDR representation looks just like 10 separate long
+declarations. The array size is not encoded on the wire.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+pidl also supports "inline" arrays, which are not part of the IDL/NDR
+standard. These are declared like this:
+</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+ typedef struct {
+ uint32 foo;
+ uint32 count;
+ uint32 bar;
+ long s[count];
+ } Struct1;
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>

+ <title>PIDL Specific properties</title>
+
+<variablelist>
+ <varlistentry><term>public</term>
+ <listitem><para>
+The [public] property on a structure or union is a pidl extension that
+forces the generated pull/push functions to be non-static. This allows
+you to declare types that can be used between modules. If you don't
+specify [public] then pull/push functions for other than top-level
+functions are declared static.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry><term>noprint</term>
+ <listitem><para>
+The [noprint] property is a pidl extension that allows you to specify
+that pidl should not generate a ndr_print_*() function for that
+structure or union. This is used when you wish to define your own
+print function that prints a structure in a nicer manner. A good
+example is the use of [noprint] on dom_sid, which allows the
+pretty-printing of SIDs.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry><term>value</term>
+ <listitem><para>
+The [value(expression)] property is a pidl extension that allows you
+to specify the value of a field when it is put on the wire. This
+allows fields that always have a well-known value to be automatically
+filled in, thus making the API more programmer friendly. The
+expression can be any C expression, although if you refer to variables
+in the current structure you will need to dereference them with
+r->. See samr_Name as a good example.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry><term>relative</term>
+ <listitem><para>
+The [relative] property can be supplied on a pointer. When it is used
+it declares the pointer as a spoolss style "relative" pointer, which
+means it appears on the wire as an offset within the current
+encapsulating structure. This is not part of normal IDL/NDR, but it is
+a very useful extension as it avoids the manual encoding of many
+complex structures.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry><term>subcontext(length)</term>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Specifies that a size of <replaceable>length</replaceable>
+ bytes should be read, followed by a blob of that size,
+ which will be parsed as NDR.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry><term>flag</term>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Specify boolean options, mostly used for
+ low-level NDR options. Several options
+ can be specified using the | character.
+ Note that flags are inherited by substructures!
+ </para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry><term>nodiscriminant</term>
+ <listitem><para>
+The [nodiscriminant] property on a union means that the usual uint16
+discriminent field at the start of the union on the wire is
+omitted. This is not normally allowed in IDL/NDR, but is used for some
+spoolss structures.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry><term>align</term>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Force the alignment of the field this attribute is placed
+ on to the number of bytes specified.
