WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.0
September 24, 2003
WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.1pre1
October 10, 2003
==============================
This is the first official release of Samba 3.0.0 code base. Work
on the SAMBA_3_0 CVS branch continues. Please refer to the section
on "Known Issues" for more details.
This is a preview release of the Samba 3.0.1 code base and is
provided for testing only. This release is *not* intended for
production servers. Use at your own risk.
There have been several bug fixes since the 3.0.0 releaser that
we feel are important to make available to the Samba community
for wider testings. See the "Changes" section for details on
exact updates.

Changes since 3.0.0
-------------------
Please refer to the CVS log for the SAMBA_3_0 branch for complete
details:
Modified parameters
* mangled map (deprecated)
Removed Parameters
* mangled stack (unused)
1) Change the interface for init_unistr2 to not take a length
but a flags field. We were assuming that
2*strlen(mb_string) == length of ucs2-le string. (bug 480).
2) Allow d_printf() to handle strings with escaped quotation
marks since the msg file includes the escape character (bug 489).
3) Fix bad html table row termination in SWAT wizard code (bug 413).
4) Fix to parse the level-2 strings.
5) Fix for "valid users = %S" in [homes]. Fix read/write
list as well.
6) Change AC_CHECK_LIB_EXT to prepend libraries instead of append.
This is the same way AC_CHECK_LIB works (bug 508).
7) Testparm output fixes for clarity.
8) Fix broken wins hook functionality -- i18n bug (bug 528).
9) Take care of condition where DOS and NT error codes must differ.
10) Default to using only built-in charsets when a working iconv
implementation cannot be located.
11) Wrap internals of sys_setgroups() so the sys_XX() call can
be done unconditionally (bug 550).
12) Remove duplicate smbspool link on SWAT's front page (bug 541).
13) Save and restore CFLAGS before/after AC_PROG_CC. Ensures that
--enable-debug=[yes|no] works correctly.
14) Allow ^C to interrupt smbpasswd if using our getpass
(e.g. smbpasswd command).
15) Support signing only on RPC's (bug 167).
16) Correct bug that prevented Excel 2000 clients from opening
files marked as read-only.
17) Portability fix bugs 546 - 549).
18) Explicitly initialize the value of AR for vendor makes that don't
do this (e.g. HPUX 11). (bug 552).
19) More i18n fixes for SWAT (bug 413).
20) Change the cwd before the postexec script to ensure that a
umount will succeed.
21) Correct double free that caused winbindd to crash when a DC
is rebooted (bug 437).
22) Fix incorrect mode sum (bug 562).
23) Canonicalize SMB_INFO_ALLOCATION in the same was as
SMB_FS_FULL_SIZE_INFORMATION (bug 564).
24) Add script to generate *msg files.
25) Add Dutch SWAT translation file.
26) Make sure to call get_user_groups() with the full winbindd
name for a user if he/she has one (bug 406).
27) Fix up error code returns from Samba4 tester. Ensure invalid
paths are validated the same way.
28) Allow Samba3 to pass the Samba4 RAW-READ tests.
29) Refuse to configure if --with-expsam=$BACKEND was used but no
libraries were found for $BACKEND.
30) Move sysquotas autoconf tests to a separate file.
31) Match W2K w.r.t. writelock and writeclose. Samba4 torture
tester
32) Make sure that the files that contain the static_init_$subsystem;
macro get recompiled after configure by removing the object
files.
33) Ensure canceling a blocking lock returns the correct error
message.
34) Match Samba 2.2, and make ACB_NORMAL the default ACB value.

Changes since 3.0rc4
####################
Please refer to the CVS log for the SAMBA_3_0 branch for complete
details:
1) Fix bug that prevented filenames of length >100 characters
from being restored using smbclient's tar functionality.
2) Fix bug that prevented fast path code in strchr_m()
from being used.
3) Make sure we store the desired access flag on incoming
SAMR rpc calls.
4) Fix smbd crash when dealing with mangled file names.
5) Ensure that the group comment field is not overwritten
if it already exists.
6) Fix bug that prevented 'net rpc join' from working
with mixed mode AD domains (bug 442).
7) Fix crash in smbd when a Samba PDC is not able to
enumerate trusted domains (bug 450).
8) Fix crash bug found by the Samba4 testsuite.
9) Fix bug that prevented smbd from returning an ACL list
if one of the SIDs could not be resolved (bug 470).
10) Remove -P option from smbclient printing scripts since it
has a different meaning in Samba 3.0 (bug 473).
11) Sync smbldap-tools with latest version from idealx cvs tree.
12) Cleanup some warnings produced by the Sun C compiler.
13) Several fixes for SWAT relating to international character
sets.
Changes since 3.0rc3
####################
1) Fix incorrect error message in testparm.c regarding 'map system'.
2) Protect against core dump if ioctl for print job sends invalid
fid.
3) Fix bug in generic hash cacluation.
4) Remove references to unused 'strip dot' parameter
5) Fix CPU burn bug in multi-byte character conversion.
6) Use opt_target_workgroup instead of lp_workgroup() in vampire
code so we can override the value in smb.conf with the -w option.
7) Display an error if we can't create a posix account for the
user when running 'net rpc vampire' (bug 323).
8) Fix UTF8 conversion bugs in LDAP passdb and idmap code (bug 296).
9) Fix smbd crash when changing the machine trust account password
(bug 273).
10) Remove getpwnam() calls from init_sam_from_xxx(). This means
that %u & %g will no longer expand in the "login ..." set of
smb.conf options, but %U and %G still do. The payback is that
winbindd local accounts for users work with 'wbinfo -u'
when winbind is running on a Samba PDC.
11) Fix unitiailized timestamp where merging print_jobs and
lpq listing.
12) Fix bug in debian packaging files affecting non-i386 platforms.
Changes since 3.0rc2
####################
1) Remove Perl module dependencies in generated RedHat 8/9 RPMS.
2) Update mount helper to take synonyms for file_mode and
dir_mode (fmask and dmask).
3) Fix portability bug with log2pcaphex.
4) Use different algorithm to generate codepages source code which
allows to take gaps into account thus making unnecessary
extended [index] = value, syntax in to_ucs2 array (bug 380).
5) Fix comment strings to 43 bytes as per spec.
6) Fix pam_winbind compile bug on FreeBSD (bug 261).
7) Support for in-memory keytabs, which are needed to make heimdal
work properly. MIT does not support them, so this check will be
used to decide whether to use them. (partial fix for bug 372).
8) Disable RC4-HMAC on broken heimdal setups. (remainder of bug
372).
9) Correct bug in smbclient that resulted in errors when untarring
long filenames (bug 308).
10) Improve autoconf checks for PAM header files and libs.
11) Added fast path to convert_string() when dealing with
ASCII->ASCII, UCS2-LE->ASCII, and ASCII->UCS2-LE with
values <= 0x7F.
12) Quiet debug messages when we don't find a module and it is not
a critical error (bug 375).
13) Fix UNIX passwd sync properly.
14) Fix more transitive trust issues in winbindd (bug 305).
15) Ensure that winbindd functions with 'disable netbios = yes'
16) Store the real short domain name in secrets.tdb as soon as we
know it. Also display an error message when joining an AD
domain and the 'workgroup' parameter has not been specified.
17) Return 0 DFS links instead of -1 when dfs support is not enabled.
18) Update LDAP schema for Netscape DS 4.x and Novell eDirectory 8.7
19) Ensure that name types can be specified using name#type notation
in the 'net' command (bug 73).
20) Add retry looks to ADS sequence number and domain SID lookups
(bug 364).
21) use a variant of alloc_sub_basic() for string lists such as
'valid users', 'write list', and 'read list' (bug 397).
22) Fix seg fault when winbindd receives an error from the AD server
in response to an LDAP search (bug 282).
23) Update findsmb to use the new syntax for smbclient and nmblookup.
24) Fix bug that prevented variables from being used in explicitly
defined path in [homes].
25) Only set SIDs when they're returned by the MySQL query
(pdb_mysql.so).
26) Include support for NTLMv2 key exchange.
27) Revert default for 'client ntlmv2 auth' to off (bug 359).
28) Fix crash in winbindd when the trust account password gets
changed underneath us via 'net rpc changetrustpw' (bug 382).
29) Use djb-algorithm string hash - faster than the tdb one we
used to use. Does not change on disk format or hashing location.
30) Implements some kind of improved AFS support for Samba on
Linux with OpenAFS 1.2.10. './configure --with-fake-kaserver'
assumes that you have OpenAFS on your machine.
31) When enumerating dfs shares loop from 0 to lp_numservices() instead
of relying on lp_servicename(n) to return an empty string for
invalid service numbers (bug 403).
32) Fix crash bug in 'net rpc samdump' (bug 334).
33) Fix crash bug in WINS NSS module (bug 299).
34) Fix a few minor compile errors on HP-UX.

10) Use kerberos 5 authentication in our client code whenever possible
11) Fix schannel bug that caused Active Directory DC's to downgrade our
machine account to an NT member.
12) Implement missing SAMR_REMOVE_USER_FOREIGN_DOMAIN call (bug 252).
13) Implement automatic generation of include/version.h
14) Include initial version of smbldap-tool scripts for the Samba
3.0 schema.
15) Implement numerous fixes for multi-byte character strings.
16) Enable 'unix extensions' parameter by default.
17) Make sure we set the SID type when falling back to the rid
algorithm (bug 245).
18) Correct linking problems with pam_smbpass (bug 327).

modified printer is written to disk.
30) Force winbindd to periodically update the trusted domain cache.
31) Remove outdated import/export script to convert an smbpasswd file
to and from and LDAP directory. Use the pdbedit tool instead.

expire. Remove any existing account_pol.tdb file to reset
the new default policy (bug 184).
21) Add buttons to SWAT to change the view of smb.conf (bug 212)
22) Fix incorrect checks that determine whether or not the 'add user

13) Remove idmap_XX_to_XX calls from smbd. Move back to the the
winbind_XXX and local_XXX calls used in 2.2.
14) All uid/gid allocation must involve winbindd now (we do not
attempt to map unknown SIDs to a UNIX identify).
15) Add 'winbind trusted domains only' parameter to force a domain
member. The server to use matching users names from /etc/passwd
for its domain (needed for domain member of a Samba domain).
16) Rename 'idmap only' to 'enable rid algorithm' for better clarity
(defaults to "yes").
17) Add support for multi-byte statcache code (bug #185)

the common MAC calculation code, and now supports multiple
outstanding packets (bug #40).
2) Enforce 'client plaintext auth', 'client lanman auth' and 'client
ntlmv2 auth'.
3) Correct timestamp problem on 64-bit machines (bug #140).
4) Add extra debugging statements to winbindd for tracking down
failures.
5) Fix bug when aliased 'winbind uid/gid' parameters are used.

16) Fix crash bug in ADS searches.
17) Build libnss_wins.so as part of nsswitch target (bug #160).
18) Make net rpc vampire return an error if the sam sync RPC
returns an error.
19) Fail to join an NT 4 domain as a BDC if a workstation account
using our name exists.
20) Fix various memory leaks in server and client code
21) Remove the short option to --set-auth-user for wbinfo (-A) to
prevent confusion with the -a option (bug #158).
22) Added new 'map acl inherit' parameter.
23) Removed unused 'privileges' code from group mapping database.

( if you installed beta1, be sure to
'mv idmap.tdb winbindd_idmap.tdb' ).
35) Fix pdb_ldap segfaults, and wrong default values for
ldapsam_compat.
36) Enable negative connection cache for winbindd's ADS backend
functions.
37) Enable address caching for active directory DC's so we don't
have to hit DNS so much.
38) Fix bug in idmap code that caused mapping to randomly be
redefined.
39) Add tdb locking code to prevent race condition when adding a
new mapping to idmap.
40) Fix 'map to guest = bad user' when acting as a PDC supporting
trust relationships.
41) Prevent deadlock issues when running winbindd on a Samba PDC
to handle allocating uids & gids for trusted users and groups
42) added LOCALE patch from Steve Langasek (bug #122).
43) Add the 'guest' passdb backend automatically to the end of
the 'passdb backend' list if 'guest account' has a valid
username.
44) Remove samstrict_dc auth method. Rework 'samstrict' to only
handle our local names (or domain name if we are a PDC).
Move existing permissive 'sam' method to 'sam_ignoredomain'
and make 'samstrict' the new default 'sam' auth method.
45) Match Windows NT4/2k behavior when authenticating a user with
and unknown domain (default to our domain if we are a DC or
domain member; default to our local name if we are a
standalone server).
46) Fix Get_Pwnam() to always fall back to lookup 'user' if the
'DOMAIN\user' lookup fails. This matches 2.2. behavior.
47) Fix the trustdom_cache code to update the list of trusted
domains when operating as a domain member and not using
winbindd.
48) Remove 'nisplussam' passdb backend since it has suffered for
too long without a maintainer.
