====================

====================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Here is a copy of a clarification note added to the Samba code
|
|
||||||
in the file: VFS-License-clarification.txt.
|
|
||||||
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A clarification of our GNU GPL License enforcement boundary within the Samba
|
|
||||||
Virtual File System (VFS) layer.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Samba is licensed under the GNU GPL. All code committed to the Samba
|
|
||||||
project or that creates a "modified version" or software "based on" Samba must
|
|
||||||
be either licensed under the GNU GPL or a compatible license.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Samba has several plug-in interfaces where external code may be called
|
|
||||||
from Samba GNU GPL licensed code. The most important of these is the
|
|
||||||
Samba VFS layer.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Samba VFS modules are intimately connected by header files and API
|
|
||||||
definitions to the part of the Samba code that provides file services,
|
|
||||||
and as such, code that implements a plug-in Samba VFS module must be
|
|
||||||
licensed under the GNU GPL or a compatible license.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
However, Samba VFS modules may themselves call third-party external
|
|
||||||
libraries that are not part of the Samba project and are externally
|
|
||||||
developed and maintained.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
As long as these third-party external libraries do not use any of the
|
|
||||||
Samba internal structure, APIs or interface definitions created by the
|
|
||||||
Samba project (to the extent that they would be considered subject to the GNU
|
|
||||||
GPL), then the Samba Team will not consider such third-party external
|
|
||||||
libraries called from Samba VFS modules as "based on" and/or creating a
|
|
||||||
"modified version" of the Samba code for the purposes of GNU GPL.
|
|
||||||
Accordingly, we do not require such libraries be licensed under the GNU GPL
|
|
||||||
or a GNU GPL compatible license.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
VFS
|
|
||||||
---
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The effort to modernize Samba's VFS interface has reached a major milestone with
|
|
||||||
the next release Samba 4.14.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For details please refer to the documentation at source3/modules/The_New_VFS.txt or
|
|
||||||
visit the <https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/The_New_VFS>.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Printing
|
|
||||||
--------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Publishing printers in AD is more reliable and more printer features are
|
|
||||||
added to the published information in AD. Samba now also supports Windows
|
|
||||||
drivers for the ARM64 architecture.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Client Group Policy
|
|
||||||
-------------------
|
|
||||||
This release extends Samba to support Group Policy functionality for Winbind
|
|
||||||
clients. Active Directory Administrators can set policies that apply Sudoers
|
|
||||||
configuration, and cron jobs to run hourly, daily, weekly or monthly.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To enable the application of Group Policies on a client, set the global
|
|
||||||
smb.conf option 'apply group policies' to 'yes'. Policies are applied on an
|
|
||||||
interval of every 90 minutes, plus a random offset between 0 and 30 minutes.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Policies applied by Samba are 'non-tattooing', meaning that changes can be
|
|
||||||
reverted by executing the `samba-gpupdate --unapply` command. Policies can be
|
|
||||||
re-applied using the `samba-gpupdate --force` command.
|
|
||||||
To view what policies have been or will be applied to a system, use the
|
|
||||||
`samba-gpupdate --rsop` command.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Administration of Samba policy requires that a Samba ADMX template be uploaded
|
|
||||||
to the SYSVOL share. The samba-tool command `samba-tool gpo admxload` is
|
|
||||||
provided as a convenient method for adding this policy. Once uploaded, policies
|
|
||||||
can be modified in the Group Policy Management Editor under Computer
|
|
||||||
Configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates. Alternatively, Samba policy
|
|
||||||
may be managed using the `samba-tool gpo manage` command. This tool does not
|
|
||||||
require the admx templates to be installed.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Python 3.6 or later required
|
|
||||||
----------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Samba's minimum runtime requirement for python was raised to Python
|
|
||||||
3.6 with samba 4.13. Samba 4.14 raises this minimum version to Python
|
|
||||||
3.6 also to build Samba. It is no longer possible to build Samba
|
|
||||||
(even just the file server) with Python versions 2.6 and 2.7.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
As Python 2.7 has been End Of Life upstream since April 2020, Samba
|
|
||||||
is dropping ALL Python 2.x support in this release.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
NT4-like 'classic' Samba domain controllers
|
|
||||||
-------------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Samba 4.13 deprecates Samba's original domain controller mode.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Sites using Samba as a Domain Controller should upgrade from the
|
|
||||||
NT4-like 'classic' Domain Controller to a Samba Active Directory DC
|
|
||||||
to ensure full operation with modern windows clients.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
SMBv1 only protocol options deprecated
|
|
||||||
--------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A number of smb.conf parameters for less-secure authentication methods
|
|
||||||
which are only possible over SMBv1 are deprecated in this release.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Miscellaneous samba-tool changes
|
|
||||||
--------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The samba-tool commands to manage AD objects (e.g. users, computers and
|
|
||||||
groups) now consistently use the "add" command when adding a new object to
|
|
||||||
the AD. The previous deprecation warnings when using the "add" commands
|
|
||||||
have been removed. For compatibility reasons, both the "add" and "create"
|
|
||||||
commands can be used now.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Users, groups and contacts can now be renamed with the respective rename
|
|
||||||
commands.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Locked users can be unlocked with the new "samba-tool user unlock" command.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The "samba-tool user list" and "samba-tool group listmembers" commands
|
|
||||||
provide additional options to hide expired and disabled user accounts
|
|
||||||
(--hide-expired and --hide-disabled).

|

CTDB CHANGES
|
|
||||||
============
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The NAT gateway and LVS features now uses the term "leader" to refer
|
|
||||||
to the main node in a group through which traffic is routed and
|
|
||||||
"follower" for other members of a group. The command for
|
|
||||||
determining the leader has changed to "ctdb natgw leader" (from
|
|
||||||
"ctdb natgw master"). The configuration keyword for indicating that
|
|
||||||
a node can not be the leader of a group has changed to
|
|
||||||
"follower-only" (from "slave-only"). Identical changes were made
|
|
||||||
for LVS.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Remove "ctdb isnotrecmaster" command. It isn't used by CTDB's
|
|
||||||
scripts and can be checked by users with "ctdb pnn" and "ctdb
|
|
||||||
recmaster".
