                    WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.1pre3
                         November 14, 2003
                   ==============================
 This is a preview release of the Samba 3.0.1 code base and is
 provided for testing only.  This release is *not* intended for
 production servers.  Use at your own risk.
 There have been several bug fixes since the 3.0.0 release that
 we feel are important to make available to the Samba community
 for wider testings.  See the "Changes" section for details on
 exact updates.

 Changes
 #######
 Changes since 3.0.1pre2
 -----------------------
 Please refer to the CVS log for the SAMBA_3_0 branch for complete
 details:
 )  Skip over the winbind separator when looking up a user.
     This fixes the bug that prevented local users from
     matching an AD user when not running winbindd (bug 698).
 )  Fix a problem with configure on *BSD systems. Make sure
     we add -liconv etc to LDFLAGS.
 )  Fix core dump bug when "security = server" and the authentication
     server goes away.
 )  Correct crash bug due to an empty munged dial string.
 )  Show files locked by a specific user (smbstatus -u 'user')
     (bug 590).
 )  Fix bug preventing print jobs from display in the queue
     monitor used by Windows NT and later clients (bug 660).
 )  Fix several reported problems with point-n-print from
     Windows 2000/XP clients due to a bug in the EnumPrinterDataEx()
     reply (bug 338, 527 & 643).
 )  Fix a handful of potential memory leaks in the LDAP code used
     by ldapsam[_compat] and the LDAP idmap backend.
 Changes since 3.0.1pre1
 -----------------------
 )  Match Samba 2.2 behavior; make ACB_NORMAL the default ACB value.
 )  Updated Japanese welcome file in SWAT.
 )  Fix to  nt-time <-> unix-time functions reversible.
 )  Ensure that winbindd uses the the escaped DN when querying
     an AD ldap server.
 )  Fix portability issues when compiling (bug 505, 550)
 )  Compile fix for tdbbackup when Samba needs to override
     non-C99 compliant implementations of snprintf().
 )  Use @PICSUFFIX@ instead of .po in Makefile.in (bug 574).
 )  Make sure we break out of samsync loop on error.
 )  Ensure error code path doesn't free unmalloc()'d memory
     (bug 628).
 ) Add configure test for krb5_keytab_entry keyblock vs key
     member (bug 636).
 ) Fixed spinlocks.
 ) Modified testparm so that all output so all debug output goes
     to stderr, and all file processing goes to stdout.
 ) Fix error return code for BUFFER_TOO_SMALL in smbcacls
     and smbcquotas.
 ) Fix "NULL dest in safe_strcpy()" log message by ensuring that
     we have a devmode before copying a string to the devicename.
 ) Support mapping REALM.COM\user to a local user account (without
     running winbindd)  for compatibility with 2.2.x release.
 ) Ensure we don't use mmap() on blacklisted systems.
 ) fixed a number of bugs and memory leaks in the AIX
     winbindd shim
 ) Call initgroups() in SWAT before becomming the user so that
     secondary group permissions can be used when writing to
     smb.conf.
 ) Fix signing problems when reverse connecting back to a
     client for printer notify
 ) Fix signing problems caused by a miss-sequence bug.
 ) Missing map in errormap for ERROR_MORE_DATA -> ERRDOS, ERRmoredata.
     Fixes NEXUS tools running on Win9x clients (bug 64).
 ) Don't leave the domain field uninitialized in cli_lsa.c if some
     SID could not be mapped.

     specified during mount.
 ) Change the \n after the password prompt to go to tty instead
     of stdout (bug 668).
 ) Stop net -P from prompting for machine account password (bug 451).
 ) Change in behavior to Not only change the effective uid but also
     the real uid when becoming unprivileged.
 ) Cope with Exchange 5.5 cleartext pop password auth.
 ) New files for support of initshutdown pipe.  Win2k doesn't
     respond properly to all requests on the winreg pipe, so we need
     to handle this new pipe (bug 534).

 -------------------
 Modified parameters
   * mangled map (deprecated)
 Removed Parameters
   * mangled stack (unused)
 )  Change the interface for init_unistr2 to not take a length
     but a flags field.  We were assuming that

     (e.g. smbpasswd command).
 ) Support signing only on RPC's (bug 167).
 ) Correct bug that prevented  Excel 2000 clients from opening
     files marked as read-only.

 ) Change the cwd before the postexec script to ensure that a
     umount will succeed.
 ) Correct double free that caused winbindd to crash when a DC

 ) Refuse to configure if --with-expsam=$BACKEND was used but no
     libraries were found for $BACKEND.
 ) Move sysquotas autoconf tests to a separate file.

     macro get recompiled after configure by removing the object
     files.
 ) Ensure canceling a blocking lock returns the correct error
     message.
 ) Match Samba 2.2, and make ACB_NORMAL the default ACB value.
 ######################################################################
               =======================================
               The original 3.0.0 release notes follow
               =======================================
 Major new features:
 -------------------
 )  Active Directory support.  Samba 3.0 is now able to
     join a ADS realm as a member server and authenticate
     users using LDAP/Kerberos.
 )  Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate UNICODE on the wire
     and internally there is now a much better infrastructure for
     multi-byte and UNICODE character sets.
 )  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.
 )  New default filename mangling system.
 )  A new "net" command has been added. It is somewhat similar to
     the "net" command in windows. Eventually we plan to replace
     numerous other utilities (such as smbpasswd) with subcommands
     in "net".
 )  Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
     improves error handling a lot.
 )  Better Windows 2000/XP/2003 printing support including publishing
     printer attributes in active directory.
 )  New loadable module support for passdb backends and character
     sets.
 )  New default dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance.
 ) Support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Samba
     domain and maintaining user, group and domain SIDs.
 ) Support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
     domain controllers.
 ) Initial support for a distributed Winbind architecture using
     an LDAP directory for storing SID to uid/gid mappings.
 ) Major updates to the Samba documentation tree.
 ) Full support for client and server SMB signing to ensure
     compatibility with default Windows 2003 security settings.
 ) Improvement of ACL mapping features based on code donated by
     Andreas Grünbacher.
 Plus lots of other improvements!
 Additional Documentation
 ------------------------
 Please refer to Samba documentation tree (included in the docs/
 subdirectory) for extensive explanations of installing, configuring
 and maintaining Samba 3.0 servers and clients.  It is advised to
 begin with the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for overviews and specific
 tasks (the current book is up to approximately 400 pages) and to
 refer to the various man pages for information on individual options.
 We are very glad to be able to include the second edition of
 "Using Samba" by Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown
 (O'Reilly & Associates) in this release.  The book is available
 on-line at http://samba.org/samba/docs/ and is included with
 the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT).  Thanks to the authors and
 publisher for making "Using Samba" under the GNU Free Documentation
 License.

 Upgrading from a previous Samba 3.0 beta
 ########################################
 Beginning with Samba 3.0.0beta3, the RID allocation functions
 have been moved into winbindd.  Previously these were handled
 by each passdb backend.  This means that winbindd must be running
 to automatically allocate RIDs for users and/or groups.  Otherwise,
 smbd will use the 2.2 algorithm for generating new RIDs.
 If you are using 'passdb backend = tdbsam' with a previous Samba
 .0 beta release (or possibly alpha), it may be necessary to
 move the RID_COUNTER entry from /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
 to winbindd_idmap.tdb.  To do this:
 )  Ensure that winbindd_idmap.tdb exists (launch winbindd at least
     once)
 )  build tdbtool by executing 'make tdbtool' in the source/tdb/
     directory
 )  run: (note that 'tdb>' is the tool's prompt for input)
        root# ./tdbtool /usr/local/samba/private/passdb.tdb
        tdb> show RID_COUNTER
        key 12 bytes
        RID_COUNTER
        data 4 bytes
        [000] 0A 52 00 00                                       .R.
        tdb> move RID_COUNTER /usr/local/samba/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb
        ....
        record moved
 If you are using 'passdb backend = ldapsam', it will be necessary to
 store idmap entries in the LDAP directory as well (i.e. idmap backend
 = ldap).  Refer to the 'net idmap' command for more information on
 migrating SID<->UNIX id mappings from one backend to another.
 If the RID_COUNTER record does not exist, then these instructions are
 unneccessary and the new RID_COUNTER record will be correctly generated
 if needed.

                         various db tables via the winreg RPCs
 Changes in Behavior
 -------------------
 The following issues are known changes in behavior between Samba 2.2 and
 Samba 3.0 that may affect certain installations of Samba.
 )  When operating as a member of a Windows domain, Samba 2.2 would
       map any users authenticated by the remote DC to the 'guest account'
       if a uid could not be obtained via the getpwnam() call.  Samba 3.0
       rejects the connection as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE.  There is no
       current work around to re-establish the 2.2 behavior.
 )  When adding machines to a Samba 2.2 controlled domain, the
       'add user script' was used to create the UNIX identity of the
       machine trust account.  Samba 3.0 introduces a new 'add machine
       script' that must be specified for this purpose.  Samba 3.0 will
       not fall back to using the 'add user script' in the absence of
       an 'add machine script'
 ######################################################################
 Passdb Backends and Authentication
 ##################################
 There have been a few new changes that Samba administrators should be
 aware of when moving to Samba 3.0.
 ) encrypted passwords have been enabled by default in order to
      inter-operate better with out-of-the-box Windows client
      installations.  This does mean that either (a) a samba account
      must be created for each user, or (b) 'encrypt passwords = no'
      must be explicitly defined in smb.conf.
 ) Inclusion of new 'security = ads' option for integration
      with an Active Directory domain using the native Windows
      Kerberos 5 and LDAP protocols.
      MIT kerberos 1.3.1 supports the ARCFOUR-HMAC-MD5 encryption
      type which is neccessary for servers on which the
      administrator password has not been changed, or kerberos-enabled
      SMB connections to servers that require Kerberos SMB signing.
      Besides this one difference, either MIT or Heimdal Kerberos
      distributions are usable by Samba 3.0.
 Samba 3.0 also includes the possibility of setting up chains
 of authentication methods (auth methods) and account storage
 backends (passdb backend).  Please refer to the smb.conf(5)
 man page for details.  While both parameters assume sane default
 values, it is likely that you will need to understand what the
 values actually mean in order to ensure Samba operates correctly.
 The recommended passdb backends at this time are
   * smbpasswd - 2.2 compatible flat file format
   * tdbsam - attribute rich database intended as an smbpasswd
     replacement for stand alone servers
   * ldapsam - attribute rich account storage and retrieval
     backend utilizing an LDAP directory.
   * ldapsam_compat - a 2.2 backward compatible LDAP account
     backend
 Certain functions of the smbpasswd(8) tool have been split between the
 new smbpasswd(8) utility, the net(8) tool, and the new pdbedit(8)
 utility.  See the respective man pages for details.
 ######################################################################
 LDAP
 ####
 This section outlines the new features affecting Samba / LDAP
 integration.
 New Schema
 ----------
 A new object class (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace
 the old sambaAccount.  This change aids us in the renaming of attributes
 to prevent clashes with attributes from other vendors.  There is a
 conversion script (examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to modify and LDIF
 file to the new schema.
 Example:
 	$ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." > old.ldif
 	$ convertSambaAccount <DOM SID> old.ldif new.ldif
 The <DOM SID> can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid <DOMAINNAME>'
 on the Samba PDC as root.
 The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
 "ldapsam_compat" passdb backend.  However, the sambaAccount and
 associated attributes have been moved to the historical section of
 the schema file and must be uncommented before use if needed.
 The 2.2 object class declaration for a sambaAccount has not changed
 in the 3.0 samba.schema file.
 Other new object classes and their uses include:
   * sambaDomain - domain information used to allocate rids
     for users and groups as necessary.  The attributes are added
     in 'ldap suffix' directory entry automatically if
     an idmap uid/gid range has been set and the 'ldapsam'
     passdb backend has been selected.
   * sambaGroupMapping - an object representing the
     relationship between a posixGroup and a Windows
     group/SID.  These entries are stored in the 'ldap
     group suffix' and managed by the 'net groupmap' command.
   * sambaUnixIdPool - created in the 'ldap idmap suffix' entry
     automatically and contains the next available 'idmap uid' and
     'idmap gid'
   * sambaIdmapEntry - object storing a mapping between a
     SID and a UNIX uid/gid.  These objects are created by the
     idmap_ldap module as needed.
   * sambaSidEntry - object representing a SID alone, as a Structural
     class on which to build the sambaIdmapEntry.
 New Suffix for Searching
 ------------------------
 The following new smb.conf parameters have been added to aid in directing
 certain LDAP queries when 'passdb backend = ldapsam://...' has been
 specified.
   * ldap suffix         - used to search for user and computer accounts
   * ldap user suffix    - used to store user accounts
   * ldap machine suffix - used to store machine trust accounts
   * ldap group suffix   - location of posixGroup/sambaGroupMapping entries
   * ldap idmap suffix   - location of sambaIdmapEntry objects
 If an 'ldap suffix' is defined, it will be appended to all of the
 remaining sub-suffix parameters.  In this case, the order of the suffix
 listings in smb.conf is important.  Always place the 'ldap suffix' first
 in the list.
 Due to a limitation in Samba's smb.conf parsing, you should not surround
 the DN's with quotation marks.
 IdMap LDAP support
 ------------------
 Samba 3.0 supports an ldap backend for the idmap subsystem.  The
 following options would inform Samba that the idmap table should be
 stored on the directory server onterose in the "ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,
 dc=org" partition.
  [global]
     ...
     idmap backend     = ldap:ldap://onterose/
     ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,dc=org
     idmap uid         = 40000-50000
     idmap gid         = 40000-50000
 This configuration allows winbind installations on multiple servers to
 share a uid/gid number space, thus avoiding the interoperability problems
 with NFS that were present in Samba 2.2.

 Trust Relationships and a Samba Domain
 ######################################
 Samba 3.0.0beta2 is able to utilize winbindd as the means of
 allocating uids and gids to trusted users and groups.  More
 information regarding Samba's support for establishing trust
 relationships can be found in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection included
 in the docs/ directory of this release.
 First create your Samba PDC and ensure that everything is
 working correctly before moving on the trusts.
 To establish Samba as the trusting domain (named SAMBA) from a Windows NT
 .0 domain named WINDOWS:
 ) create the trust account for SAMBA in "User Manager for Domains"
 ) connect the trust from the Samba domain using
      'net rpc trustdom establish GLASS'
 To create a trustlationship with SAMBA as the trusted domain:
 ) create the initial trust account for GLASS using
      'smbpasswd -a -i GLASS'.  You may need to create a UNIX
      account for GLASS$ prior to this step (depending on your
      local configuration).
 ) connect the trust from a WINDOWS DC using "User Manager
      for Domains"
 Now join winbindd on the Samba PDC to the SAMBA domain using
 the normal steps for adding a Samba server to an NT4 domain:
 (note that smbd & nmbd must be running at this point)
    root# net rpc join -U root
    Password: <enter root password from smbpasswd file here>
 Start winbindd and test the join with 'wbinfo -t'.
 Now test the trust relationship by connecting to the SAMBA DC
 (e.g. POGO) as a user from the WINDOWS domain:
    $ smbclient //pogo/netlogon -U Administrator -W WINDOWS
    Password:
 Now connect to the WINDOWS DC (e.g. CRYSTAL) as a Samba user:
    $ smbclient //crystal/netlogon -U root -W WINDOWS
    Password:

 Changes in Winbind
 ##################
 Beginning with Samba3.0.0beta3, winbindd has been given new account
 manage functionality equivalent to the 'add user script' family of
 smb.conf parameters.  The idmap design has also been changed to
 centralize control of foreign SID lookups and matching to UNIX
 uids and gids.
 Brief Description of Changes
 ----------------------------
 ) The sid_to_uid() family of functions (smbd/uid.c) have been
    reverted to the 2.2.x design.  This means that when resolving a
    SID to a UID or similar mapping:
         a) First consult winbindd
         b) perform a local lookup only if winbindd fails to
            return a successful answer
    There are some variations to this, but these two rules generally
    apply.
 ) All idmap lookups have been moved into winbindd.  This means that
    a server must run winbindd (and support NSS) in order to achieve
    any mappings of SID to dynamically allocated UNIX ids.  This was
    a conscious design choice.
 ) New functions have been added to winbindd to emulate the 'add user
    script' family of smbd functions without requiring that external
    scripts be defined.  This functionality is controlled by the 'winbind
    enable local accounts' smb.conf parameter (enabled by default).
    However, this account management functionality is only supported
    in a local tdb (winbindd_idmap.tdb).  If these new UNIX accounts
    must be shared among multiple Samba servers (such as a PDC and BDCs),
    it will be necessary to define your own 'add user script', et. al.
    programs that place the accounts/groups in some form of directory
    such as NIS or LDAP.  This requirement was deemed beyond the scope
    of winbind's account management functions.  Solutions for
    distributing UNIX system information have been deployed and tested
    for many years.  We saw no need to reinvent the wheel.
 ) A member of a Samba controlled domain running winbindd is now able
    to map domain users directly onto existing UNIX accounts while still
    automatically creating accounts for trusted users and groups.  This
    behavior is controlled by the 'winbind trusted domains only' smb.conf
    parameter (disabled by default to provide 2.2.x winbind behavior).
 ) Group mapping support is wrapped in the local_XX_to_XX() functions
    in smbd/uid.c.  The reason that group mappings are not included
    in winbindd is because the purpose of Samba's group map is to
    match any Windows SID with an existing UNIX group.  These UNIX
    groups can be created by winbindd (see next section), but the
    SID<->gid mapping is retreived by smbd, not winbindd.
 Examples
 --------
 * security = server running winbindd to allocate accounts on demand
 * Samba PDC running winbindd to handle the automatic creation of UNIX
   identities for machine trust accounts
 * Automtically creating UNIX user and groups when migrating a Windows NT
 .0 PDC to a Samba PDC.  Winbindd must be running when executing
   'net rpc vampire' for this to work.
