UPGRADING
|

=========
|
||||
|
||||
Users upgrading from Samba 3.x domain controllers and wanting to use
|
||||
Samba 4.0 as an AD DC should use the 'samba-tool domain
|
||||
classicupgrade' command. See the wiki for more details:

|

Users upgrading from Samba 4.0 alpha and beta releases since alpha15
|

should run 'samba-tool dbcheck --cross-ncs --fix'. Users upgrading
|

from earlier alpha releases should contact the team for advice.

|

Some major user-visible changes include:
|
||||
|
||||
The internal DNS server has had some stability improvements, and
|
||||
now handles forwarded DNS replies in an async manner.
|
||||
The default file server for EXISTING USERS has changed to s3fs. To
|
||||
continue to use ntvfs, you must set in your smb.conf:
|
||||
|
||||
The build of libtdb.so and libtalloc.so has been removed from the
|
||||
autoconf build. Use the build in lib/talloc and lib/tdb to build

this software for use across the system.
|
||||
server services = +smb -s3fs
|
||||
dcerpc endpoint services = +winreg +srvsvc
|
||||
|
||||
The smbclient and nmblookup binaries have been renamed in the top
|
||||
level build, so smbclient/nmblookup are now the implementations from
|
||||
the Samba 3.x heritage.
|
||||
|
||||
Improved handling of the cleanup of smbd child processes (removing a
|
||||
number of scary warnings from our log output).
|
||||
|
||||
Much improved support for FreeBSD, including extended attribute
|
||||
support on the filesystem for the AD DC.
|
||||
samba-tool dbcheck will now upgrade older databases that are missing
|
||||
GUIDs in the schema partition.

KNOWN ISSUES
|

============
|
||||
|
||||
- We are making this beta release to gain real-world use of the 's3fs'
|
||||
- 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.
