|
|
intended for production environments and is designed for testing
|
|

UPGRADING
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
|
|
NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Default samba process model
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
The default for the --model argument passed to the samba executable has changed
|
|
from 'standard' to 'prefork'. This means a difference in the number of samba
|
|
child processes that are created to handle client connections. The previous
|
|
default would create a separate process for every LDAP or NETLOGON client
|
|
connection. For a network with a lot of persistent client connections, this
|
|
could result in significant memory overhead. Now, with the new default of
|
|
'prefork', the LDAP, NETLOGON, and KDC services will create a fixed number of
|
|
worker processes at startup and share the client connections amongst these
|
|
workers. The number of worker processes can be configured by the 'prefork
|
|
children' setting in the smb.conf (the default is 4).
|
|
|
|
Authentication Logging.
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
Winbind now logs PAM_AUTH and NTLM_AUTH events, a new attribute "logonId" has
|
|
been added to the Authentication JSON log messages. This contains a random
|
|
logon id that is generated for each PAM_AUTH and NTLM_AUTH request and is passed
|
|
to SamLogon, linking the windbind and SamLogon requests.
|
|
|
|
The serviceDescription of the messages is set to "winbind", the authDescription
|
|
is set to one of:
|
|
"PASSDB, <command>, <pid>"
|
|
"PAM_AUTH, <command>, <pid>"
|
|
"NTLM_AUTH, <command>, <pid>"
|
|
where:
|
|
<command> is the name of the command makinmg the winbind request i.e. wbinfo
|
|
<pid> is the process id of the requesting process.
|
|
|
|
The version of the JSON Authentication messages has been changed to 1.2 from 1.1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
REMOVED FEATURES
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Web server
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
As a leftover from work related to the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT),
|
|
Samba still supported a Python WSGI web server (which could still be turned on
|
|
from the 'server services' smb.conf parameter). This service was unused and has
|
|
now been removed from Samba.
|
|
|
|
|
|
smb.conf changes
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Parameter Name Description Default
|
|
-------------- ----------- -------
