Release Announcements
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
This is the first pre release of Samba 4.16. This is *not*
|
|
intended for production environments and is designed for testing
|
|

|
|
system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/.
|
|
|
|
Samba 4.16 will be the next version of the Samba suite.

UPGRADING
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
|
|
NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Certificate Auto Enrollment
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
Certificate Auto Enrollment allows devices to enroll for certificates from
|
|
Active Directory Certificate Services. It is enabled by Group Policy.
|
|
To enable Certificate Auto Enrollment, Samba's group policy will need to be
|
|
enabled by setting the smb.conf option `apply group policies` to Yes. Samba
|
|
Certificate Auto Enrollment depends on certmonger, the cepces certmonger
|
|
plugin, and sscep. Samba uses sscep to download the CA root chain, then uses
|
|
certmonger paired with cepces to monitor the host certificate templates.
|
|
Certificates are installed in /var/lib/samba/certs and private keys are
|
|
installed in /var/lib/samba/private/certs.
|
|
|
|
Ability to add ports to dns forwarder addresses in internal DNS backend
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The internal DNS server of Samba forwards queries non-AD zones to one or more
|
|
configured forwarders. Up until now it has been assumed that these forwarders
|
|
listen on port 53. Starting with this version it is possible to configure the
|
|
port using host:port notation. See smb.conf for more details. Existing setups
|
|
are not affected, as the default port is 53.
|
|
|
|
REMOVED FEATURES
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
No longer using Linux mandatory locks for sharemodes
|
|
====================================================
|
|
|
|
smbd mapped sharemodes to Linux mandatory locks. This code in the Linux kernel
|
|
was broken for a long time, and is planned to be removed with Linux 5.15. This
|
|
Samba release removes the usage of mandatory locks for sharemodes and the
|
|
"kernel share modes" config parameter is changed to default to "no". The Samba
|
|
VFS interface is kept, so that file-system specific VFS modules can still use
|
|
private calls for enforcing sharemodes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
smb.conf changes
