Some major user-visible changes include:
- ACLs are now set during provision at the POSIX layer for the sysvol
share. This allows group policies to be modified by Domain
Administrators (Policy Administrators) that are not the actual
Administrator user.
- A fix for a segfault/abort on startup of the 'samba' binary in the
credentials_secrets code.
- A number of verified fixes for expanding memory use across the AD
domain controller, including in the Bind9 DLZ module.
- A fix for samba-tool classicupgrade of pdb_ldap-based domains
- A fix for bug #9097 (the winbind in the AD DC would lock up under
parallel requests).
- A fix for samba-tool domain exportkeyab only exporting DES keys
- wbinfo --ping-dc now returns helpful information on what failed and
against which DC it failed
- Printing is now enabled on the AD DC
- SMB3 encryption support
- Fix bug #9124 - Samba fails to set "inherited" bit on inherited ACE's.
- New 'samba-tool ntacl' commands:
- samba-tool ntacl sysvolreset
- samba-tool ntacl sysvolcheck
- We now avoid printing secret attributes (such as unicodePwd and
suppliementalCredentials) in ldb trace logs
Less visible, but important changes under the hood include:
- s3-printing: fix bug 9123 lprng job tracking errors
- Continued work to support SMB2 and SMB3
- Continued work to use async IO to improve file server performance.
- Patches to ensure that talloc_tos() and talloc_stackframe() are
always used correctly.
- We can now test the implementation of NT -> POSIX ACL mapping in a
unit test with VFS bindings exposing both to python. We also store
the posix ACL in a tdb during make test, allowing testing of this
feature on all platforms, regardless of local FS settings.
- Python bindings for the source3 async libsmb library (for use in testing)
- A fix for building with MIT Kerberos
KNOWN ISSUES
============
- 'samba-tool domain classicupgrade' will fail when setting ACLs on
the GPO folders with NT_STATUS_INVALID_ONWER in the default
configuration. This happens if, as is typical a 'domain admins'
group (-512) is mapped in the passdb backend being upgraded. This
is because the group mapping to a GID only prevents Samba from
allocating a uid for that group. The uid is needed so the 'domain
admins' group can own the GPO file objects.
To work around this issue, remove the 'domain admins' group before
upgrade, as it will be re-created automatically. You will
of course need to fill in the group membership again. A future release
will make this automatic, or find some other workaround.
- This release makes the s3fs file server the default, as this is the
file server combination we will use for the Samba 4.0 release.
