CHANGES SINCE alpha11
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
Since the alpha10 release, we have fixed a number of serious bugs in
|
||||
the implementation of AD-compatible 'Directory Replication Services'.
|
||||
We can now join an AD domain as a read-write DC
|
||||
|
||||
This release includes changes related to:
|
||||
|
||||
* winbind, to allow a fairly good implementation of functions needed by
|
||||
libnss_winbind and pam_winbind.
|
||||
The usage of this two library allow to have domain users and groups information
|
||||
available on the unix and unix-like side. It allow to be able to use domain user
|
||||
to connect to all the services (ssh, login, X session, ...)
|
||||
More information available at http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/Winbind
|
||||
|
||||
* server side NTACL manipulation, NTACL of shared file can now be set from the command line
|
||||
directly on the server. See net acl for more information.

CHANGES SINCE alpha10
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
Since the alpha10 release, we have fixed a number of serious bugs in
|
||||
the implementation of AD-compatible 'Directory Replication Services'.
|
||||
We can now join an AD domain as a read-write DC
|
||||
|
||||
Importantly, since alpha10, the following serious issues were
|
||||
addressed:
|
||||
- We now allocate RID values safely (previous implementations would
|
||||
add users and groups without regard to allocated RID pools, possibly
|
||||
creating duplicates)
|
||||
- In previous Samba4 versions, a failure to 'prepare' a transaction
|
||||
would silently commit the transaction.
|
||||
|
||||
Any deployments of Samba4 before this alpha are very strongly
|
||||
encouraged to upgrade. Assistance may be found in the
|
||||
upgradeprovision script, and the advice of the Samba Team should be
|
||||
sought to determine the impact of these issues in your particular
|
||||
deployment.
|
||||
We have continued our commitment to provide a full DRS implementation for our
|
||||
AD implementation and therefore achieved also this time big steps forward.
|
||||
|
||||
Our progress on DRS is being tracked in the Samba wiki:
|
||||
http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4_DRS_TODO_List
|
||||
|
||||
Beside this the release includes:
|
||||
|
||||
* enhancements in Samba4 winbind to provide a fairly good implementation of the
|
||||
most important functions needed by "libnss_winbind" and "pam_winbind"
|
||||
The use of this two components allows 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
|
||||
A new DNS upgrade mechanism has been introduced which works with newer bind9
|
||||
releases.
|
||||
|
||||
* 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
|
||||
Abartlet imported a new release with various bugfixes
|
||||
|
||||
* DCE/RPC code unification work
|
||||
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.
