Changes in alpha23:
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
LDAP Group Mapping
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
pdbedit -i -e sets all SAM_ACCOUNT elements to CHANGED to
|
||||
satisfy the new pdb_ldap.c handling. pdbedit -g transfers group
|
||||
mappings. I made this separate from the user database, as current
|
||||
installations have to live with a split backend. So, if you are
|
||||
running 3_0 alphas with LDAP as a backend and upgrade to 3.0alpha23,
|
||||
you must call
|
||||
|
||||
root# pdbedit -i tdbsam -e ldapsam -g
|
||||
|
||||
to transfer your group mapping database to LDAP.
|
||||
|
||||
All groups must be represented as posixGroup objects in
|
||||
the directory and adapt the LDAP schema to support the
|
||||
sambaGroupMapping before running this command. Refer to
|
||||
examples/LDAP/samba.schema for details on the objectclass.

ChangeLog
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
See cvs log for SAMBA_3_0 for complete details. There are many
|
||||
smaller numerous changes that would clutter the release notes.
|
||||
|
||||
0) Include security fix from Samba 2.2.8
|
||||
1) Fix interop bug in tconX on port 445 with Windows 2000
|
||||
2) Interpret missing SMB_ACL_USER_OBJ, SMB_ACL_GROUP_OBJ, or
|
||||
SMB_ACL_OTHER as "preserve current value" instead of attempting
|
||||
to build one ourself.
|
||||
3) Rearrange set_nt_acl() such that chown is only done before
|
||||
setting ACLs if there is either no change of owning user, or
|
||||
change of owning user is towards the current user. Otherwise
|
||||
chown is done after setting ACLs.
|
||||
4) Continuing work on NTLMSSP-based SMB signing
|
||||
5) When opening an existing DB, don't require the hash_size
|
||||
specified to the open call to be the same as that of the
|
||||
existing tdb. The specified hash_size is only used if the
|
||||
tdb needs to be (re)created.
|
||||
6) Add support for "WinXP" and "Win2K3" client architectures.
|
||||
7) Fixed the unmarshalling of the queryaliasmem SAMR call
|
||||
8) Windows 2000 can take much longer than the specified time to
|
||||
respond to a lock - so to make the torture tests valid I give
|
||||
it a grace time of 10 seconds instead of 2
|
||||
9) Continued work on string handling paranoia
|
||||
10) Merge new statcache.c from HEAD
|
||||
11) Add new 'net ads dn' option
|
||||
12) Sync up SessionSetup code to HEAD, including Luke Howard's
|
||||
session key and auth verifier patches
|
||||
13) Work on cleaning up winbindd's mutex locking
|
||||
14) Add support for LDAP based Windows group mapping
|
||||
15) Improve LDAP update routines
|
||||
16) Fix memory leaks found by Valgrind
|
||||
17) Add a 'privileged' mode to Winbindd
|
||||
18) Work around platforms that have broken getgrnam() implementations
|
||||
19) Merge real time signal fixes for kernel oplock code from HEAD
|
||||
20) fix CIDR hosts allow/deny notation
|
||||
21) Fixup tcon&X server responses and error codes
|
||||
22) Set domain for users in passdb created by "net rpc vampire"
