Not currently used - no logic changes inside. This will make it possible to pass down a long-lived talloc context from the loading function for modules to use instead of having them internally all use talloc_autofree_context() which is a hidden global. Updated all known module interface numbers, and added a WHATSNEW.

Release Announcements
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
This is the first preview release of Samba 4.7. This is *not*
|
|
intended for production environments and is designed for testing
|
|
purposes only. Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting
|
|
system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/.
|
|
|
|
Samba 4.7 will be the next version of the Samba suite.
|
|

UPGRADING
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
|
|
NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
The "strict sync" global parameter has been changed from
|
|
a default of "no" to "yes". This means smbd will by default
|
|
obey client requests to synchronize unwritten data in operating
|
|
system buffers safely onto disk. This is a safer default setting
|
|
for modern SMB1/2/3 clients.
|
|
|
|
Authentication and Authorization audit support
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Detailed authentication and authorization audit information is now
|
|
logged to Samba's debug logs under the "auth_audit" debug class,
|
|
including in particular the client IP address triggering the audit
|
|
line. Additionally, if Samba is compiled against the jansson JSON
|
|
library, a JSON representation is logged under the "auth_json_audit"
|
|
debug class.
|
|
|
|
Audit support is comprehensive for all authentication and
|
|
authorisation of user accounts in the Samba Active Directory Domain
|
|
Controller, as well as the implicit authentication in password
|
|
changes. In the file server and classic/NT4 domain controller, NTLM
|
|
authentication, SMB and RPC authorization is covered, however password
|
|
changes are not at this stage, and this support is not currently
|
|
backed by a testsuite.
|
|
|
|
smb.conf changes
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Parameter Name Description Default
|
|
-------------- ----------- -------
|
|
auth event notification New parameter no
|
|
auth methods Deprecated
|
|
map untrusted to domain Deprecated
|
|
strict sync Default changed yes
|
|
|
|
Removal of lpcfg_register_defaults_hook()
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The undocumented and unsupported function lpcfg_register_defaults_hook()
|
|
that was used by external projects to call into Samba and modify
|
|
smb.conf default parameter settings has been removed. If your project
|
|
was using this call please raise the issue on
|
|
samba-technical@lists.samba.org in order to design a supported
|
|
way of obtaining the same functionality.
|
|
|
|
Change of loadable module interface
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The _init function of all loadable modules in Samba has changed
|
|
from:
|
|
|
|
NTSTATUS _init(void);
|
|
|
|
to:
|
|
|
|
NTSTATUS _init(TALLOC_CTX *);
|
|
|
|
This allows a program loading a module to pass in a long-lived
|
|
talloc context (which must be guaranteed to be alive for the
|
|
lifetime of the module). This allows modules to avoid use of
|
|
the talloc_autofree_context() (which is inherently thread-unsafe)
|
|
and still be valgrind-clean on exit. Modules that don't need to
|
|
free long-lived data on exist should use the NULL talloc context.
|
|
