2012-03-04s3-auth: Remove security=share (depricated since 3.6).Andrew Bartlett4-169/+16
This patch removes security=share, which Samba implemented by matching the per-share password provided by the client in the Tree Connect with a selection of usernames supplied by the client, the smb.conf or guessed from the environment. The rationale for the removal is that for the bulk of security=share users, we just we need a very simple way to run a 'trust the network' Samba server, where users mark shares as guest ok. This is still supported, and the smb.conf options are documented at https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Public_Samba_Server At the same time, this closes the door on one of the most arcane areas of Samba authentication. Naturally, full user-name/password authentication remain available in security=user and above. This includes documentation updates for username and only user, which now only do a small amount of what they used to do.

2011-06-11s3-param Remove 'time offset' from smb.confAndrew Bartlett1-15/+0
This strange parameter is apparently very rarely used, and it seems to me that on modern networks, if clients don't have correct clocks and DST offsets, that many other things (Kerberos) start to fail pretty quickly, and time and DST tables tend to be internet delivered anyway.

2011-01-07s3-printing: Initiate pcap reload from parent smbdDavid Disseldorp1-3/+1
Since commit 7022554, smbds share a printcap cache (printer_list.tdb), therefore ordering of events between smbd processes is important when updating printcap cache information. Consider the following two process example: 1) smbd1 receives HUP or printcap cache time expiry 2) smbd1 checks whether pcap needs refresh, it does 3) smbd1 marks pcap as refreshed 4) smbd1 forks child1 to obtain cups printer info 5) smbd2 receives HUP or printcap cache time expiry 6) smbd2 checks whether pcap needs refresh, it does not (due to step 3) 7) smbd2 reloads printer shares prior to child1 completion (stale pcap) 8) child1 completion, pcap cache (printer_list.tdb) is updated by smbd1 9) smbd1 reloads printer shares based on new pcap information In this case both smbd1 and smbd2 are reliant on the pcap update performed on child1 completion. The prior commit "reload shares after pcap cache fill" ensures that smbd1 only reloads printer shares following pcap update, however smbd2 continues to present shares based on stale pcap data. This commit addresses the above problem by driving pcap cache and printer share updates from the parent smbd process. 1) smbd0 (parent) receives a HUP or printcap cache time expiry 2) smbd0 forks child0 to obtain cups printer info 3) child0 completion, pcap cache (printer_list.tdb) is updated by smbd0 4) smbd0 reloads printer shares 5) smbd0 notifies child smbds of pcap update via message_send_all() 6) child smbds read fresh pcap data and reload printer shares This architecture has the additional advantage that only a single process (the parent smbd) requests printer information from the printcap backend. Use time_mono in housekeeping functions As suggested by Björn Jacke.
