=====================
|
|
|

This is the first pre release of Samba 4.18. This is *not*

|
|
purposes only. Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting
|
|
system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/.
|
|
|
|
Samba 4.18 will be the next version of the Samba suite.

NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
|
|
====================

|
|
|
More succinct samba-tool error messages
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Historically samba-tool has reported user error or misconfiguration by
|
|
means of a Python traceback, showing you where in its code it noticed
|
|
something was wrong, but not always exactly what is amiss. Now it
|
|
tries harder to identify the true cause and restrict its output to
|
|
describing that. Particular cases include:
|
|
|
|
* a username or password is incorrect
|
|
* an ldb database filename is wrong (including in smb.conf)
|
|
* samba-tool dns: various zones or records do not exist
|
|
* samba-tool ntacl: certain files are missing
|
|
* the network seems to be down
|
|
* bad --realm or --debug arguments
|
|
|
|
Accessing the old samba-tool messages
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is not new, but users are reminded they can get the full Python
|
|
stack trace, along with other noise, by using the argument '-d3'.
|
|
This may be useful when searching the web.
|
|
|
|
The intention is that when samba-tool encounters an unrecognised
|
|
problem (especially a bug), it will still output a Python traceback.
|
|
If you encounter a problem that has been incorrectly identified by
|
|
samba-tool, please report it on https://bugzilla.samba.org.
|
|
|
|
Colour output with samba-tool --color
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
For some time a few samba-tool commands have had a --color=yes|no|auto
|
|
option, which determines whether the command outputs ANSI colour
|
|
codes. Now all samba-tool commands support this option, which now also
|
|
accepts 'always' and 'force' for 'yes', 'never' and 'none' for 'no',
|
|
and 'tty' and 'if-tty' for 'auto' (this more closely matches
|
|
convention). With --color=auto, or when --color is omitted, colour
|
|
codes are only used when output is directed to a terminal.
|
|
|
|
Most commands have very little colour in any case. For those that
|
|
already used it, the defaults have changed slightly.
|
|
|
|
* samba-tool drs showrepl: default is now 'auto', not 'no'
|
|
|
|
* samba-tool visualize: the interactions between --color-scheme,
|
|
--color, and --output have changed slightly. When --color-scheme is
|
|
set it overrides --color for the purpose of the output diagram, but
|
|
not for other output like error messages.
|
|
|
|
No colour with NO_COLOR environment variable
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
With both samba-tool --color=auto (see above) and some other places
|
|
where we use ANSI colour codes, the NO_COLOR environment variable will
|
|
disable colour output. See https://no-color.org/ for a description of
|
|
this variable. `samba-tool --color=always` will use colour regardless
|
|
of NO_COLOR.
