--------------
|
|
|
|
This is a pre-release of Samba 3.0 alpha0. 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 are
|
|
planning on ceasing development on the 2.2.x release of Samba very
|
|
shortly and after that we will be concentrating on Samba 3.0. To
|
|
reduce the time before the final Samba 3.0 release we need as many
|
|
poeple 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 anywhere near feature complete yet. There
|
|
is a lot 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.
|
|
|
|
This release is also missing major pieces of documentation, and there
|
|
are many parts of the docs that have not been updated to reflect the
|
|
new options and features in 3.0.
|
|
|
|
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. Please read ADS-HOWTO.txt in the release for a very
|
|
rough guide on how to set this up.
|
|
|
|
- Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate unicode on the wire and
|
|
interally there is now a much better infrastructure for multi-byte
|
|
and unicode character sets. You may need the "dos charset", "unix
|
|
charset" and "display charset" options. The unicode support is not
|
|
yet documented.
|
|
|
|
- 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. Not documented
|
|
yet.
|
|
|
|
- new filename mangling system. The filename mangling system has been
|
|
completely rewritten. An internal database now stores mangling maps
|
|
persistantly. 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. The support for printing from win2000
|
|
clients has improved greatly.
|
|
|
|
Plus lots of other changes!
|
|
|
|
Note that many new features are not documented. Don't let this stop
|
|
you from using Samba 3.0. It is particularly important that the basic
|
|
file/print serving abilities of Samba 3.0 are widely tested to ensure
|
|
that we have not broken any of the basic functionality. As we do more
|
|
alpha releases we will start to document the new features.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reporting bugs & Development Discussion
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Please discuss this release on the samba-technical mailing list or by
|
|
joining the #samba-technical IRC channel on irc.openprojects.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.
