WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0 alpha24
|
|
14th May 2003
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
This is a pre-release of Samba 3.0. This is NOT a stable release.
|
|
Use at your own risk.
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this alpha release is to get wider testing of the major
|
|
new pieces of code in the current Samba 3.0 development tree. We have
|
|
officially ceased development on the 2.2.x release of Samba and are
|
|
concentrating on Samba 3.0. To reduce the time before the final Samba 3.0
|
|
release we need as many people as possible to start testing these alpha
|
|
releases, and hopefully giving us some high quality feedback on what needs
|
|
fixing.
|
|
|
|
Note that Samba 3.0 is not feature complete yet. There is a more
|
|
coding we have planned, but unless we get what we have done already more
|
|
widely tested we will have a hard time doing a stable release in a
|
|
reasonable time frame.
|
|
|
|
Major new features:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
- Active Directory support. This release is able to join a ADS realm
|
|
as a member server and authenticate users using LDAP/kerberos.
|
|
|
|
- Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate UNICODE on the wire and
|
|
internally there is now a much better infrastructure for multi-byte
|
|
and UNICODE character sets.
|
|
|
|
- New authentication system. The internal authentication system has
|
|
been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are internal,
|
|
but the new auth system is also very configurable.
|
|
|
|
- new filename mangling system. The filename mangling system has been
|
|
completely rewritten. An internal database now stores mangling maps
|
|
persistently. This needs lots of testing.
|
|
|
|
- new "net" command. A new "net" command has been added. It is
|
|
somewhat similar to the "net" command in windows. Eventually we plan
|
|
to replace a bunch of other utilities (such as smbpasswd) with
|
|
subcommands in "net", at the moment only a few things are
|
|
implemented.
|
|
|
|
- Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
|
|
improves error handling a lot.
|
|
|
|
- better w2k printing support including publishing printer
|
|
attributes in active directory
|
|
|
|
- new loadable RPC modules
|
|
|
|
- new dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance
|
|
|
|
- support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain
|
|
|
|
- support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
|
|
domain controllers
|
|
|
|
Plus lots of other changes!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reporting bugs & Development Discussion
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Please discuss this release on the samba-technical mailing list or by
|
|
joining the #samba-technical IRC channel on irc.freenode.net.
|
|
|
|
If you do report problems then please try to send high quality
|
|
feedback. If you don't provide vital information to help us track down
|
|
the problem then you will probably be ignored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changes in alpha24:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
LDAP Schema Changes
|
|
-------------------
|
|
A new objectclass (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace the old
|
|
sambaAccount. This change aids us in the renaming of attributes to prevent
|
|
clashes with attributes from other vendors. There is a conversion script
|
|
(examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to modify and LDIF file to the new schema.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
$ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." > old.ldif
|
|
$ convertSambaAccount <DOM SID> old.ldif new.ldif
|
|
|
|
The <DOM SID> can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid <DOMAINNAME>'
|
|
on the Samba PDC as root.
|
|
|
|
The sambaDomain and sambaGroupMapping objects have also been modified
|
|
to use the new attribute naming conventions as well. There are no
|
|
conversion scripts for this data since the old schema was never published
|
|
in a stable release.
|
|
|
|
The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
|
|
"ldapsam_compat" passdb backend.
|
|
|
|
Parameters

|
Known Issues
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The following are known issues with this release and will be corrected
|
|
in future versions:
|
|
|
|
1) Automatically generating accounts for users and groups from
|
|
trusted domains when Samba is acting as a PDC
|
|
2) Maintaining idmap ID's in a LDAP directory in order to implement
|
|
a distributed winbind solution
|
|
|
|
