|
||||
|
||||
Beside this the release includes (among a lot of other things):
|
||||
|
||||
* a new build system based on WAF
|
||||
Andrew Tridgell (tridge) invested much time to bring this up. He achieved a
|
||||
marvellous work which brings us faster building, easier management and smaller
|
||||
binaries.
|
||||
|
||||
* enhancements in Samba4 winbind to provide a fairly good implementation of the
|
||||
most important functions needed by "libnss_winbind" and "pam_winbind"
|
||||
This two components allow a user/group mapping for Windows accounts on UNIX and
|
||||
UNIX-like systems. Therefore also these accounts can be used to connect to
|
||||
services as "ssh", "login", "Xsession" and so on.
|
||||
More informations available at http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/Winbind
|
||||
and for winbind in general, "libnss_winbind" and "pam_winbind" in the Samba 3.X
|
||||
documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
* server side NT ACLs manipulation
|
||||
These can now also be set on the command line directly on the server. See
|
||||
"net acl" for further informations.
|
||||
|
||||
* dynamic DNS updates
|
||||
Up-to-date DNS entries are essential for Active Directory deployments. As for
|
||||
the moment Samba4 isn't yet capable to interoperate with Microsofts AD DNS
|
||||
server (regarding RPCs, ADs zone entries...) a kind of update script has been
|
||||
developed. It also permits the update of the "grant" and "resource" lists.
|
||||
|
||||
* registry improvements
|
||||
The registry code was reworked, improved and retested. This was achieved by the
|
||||
new torture tests written by gd and some additional testing against Windows
|
||||
("regedit" - Windows Registry Editor and "regedt32" - Windows NT Registry Editor).
|
||||
Also some real bugs were fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
* new Kerberos HEIMDAL release
|
||||
Andrew Bartlett (abartlet) imported a new release with various bugfixes
|
||||
|
||||
* DCE/RPC code unification work
|
||||
Stefan Metzmacher (metze) started his work to unify these codebases between s3
|
||||
and s4
|
||||
|
||||
* And much more
|
||||
We always try to fix bugs and keep improving the (source) quality of our
|
||||
program.
|
||||
* a script for backuping production provision
|
||||
Although still in development, samba4 is already used in a couple of production sites
|
||||
and such kind of use case is intensifying. This script is intendended for administrators
|
||||
to allow them to make a periodic backup of the provision in case of problem.
