At the time this book first + went to print samba-3.0.2 was being released. There have been significant modifications + and enhancements between samba-3.0.2 and samba-3.0.11 (the current release) that + necessitate this documentation update. This update has the specific intent to + refocus this books so that its guidance can be followed for samba-3.0.12 + and beyond.

Samba implementations that depend on the case of information returned + by winbind (such as %u and %U) must now convert the dependency to expecting lower case values. + This affects mail spool files, home directories, valid user lines in the &smb.conf; file, etc. + + + + + + + Schema Changes + + + + + Addition of code to handle password aging, password uniqueness controls, bad + password instances at logon time, have made necessary extensions to the SambaSAM + schema. This change affects all sites that use LDAP and means that the directory + schema must be updated. + + + + + + + Username Map Handling + + + + + Samba-3.0.8 redefined the behavior: Local authentication results in a username map file + lookup before authenticating the connection. All authentication via an external domain + controller will result in the use of the fully qualified name (i.e.: DOMAIN\username) + after the user has been successfully authenticated. + + + + + + + UNIX extension handling + + + + + Symbolicly linked files and directories on the UNIX host to absolute paths will + now be followed. This can be turned off using wide links = No in + the share stanza in the &smb.conf; file. Turning off wide links + support will degrade server performance because each path must be checked. + + + + + + + Privileges Support + + + + + Versions of Samba prior to samba-3.0.11 required the use of the UNIX root + account from network Windows clients. The new enable privileges = Yes capability + means that functions such as adding machines to the domain, managing printers, etc. can now + be delegated to normal user accounts or to groups of users. + + + + + +
