Release Announcements
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
This is the first preview release of Samba 4.6. 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 4.6 will be the next version of the Samba suite.
|
|
|
|
|
|
UPGRADING
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
vfs_fruit option "fruit:resource" spelling correction
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Due to a spelling error in the vfs_fruit option parsing for the "fruit:resource"
|
|
option, users who have set this option in their smb.conf were still using the
|
|
default setting "fruit:resource = file" as the parser was looking for the string
|
|
"fruit:ressource" (two "s").
|
|
|
|
After upgrading to this Samba version 4.6, you MUST either remove the option
|
|
from your smb.conf or set it to the default "fruit:resource = file", otherwise
|
|
your macOS clients will not be able to access the resource fork data.
|
|
|
|
This version Samba 4.6 accepts both the correct and incorrect spelling, but the
|
|
next Samba version 4.7 will not accept the wrong spelling.
|
|
|
|
Users who were using the wrong spelling "ressource" with two "s" can keep the
|
|
setting, but are advised to switch to the correct spelling.
|
|
|
|
NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
kerberos client encryption types
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
Some parts of Samba (most notably winbindd) perform Kerberos client
|
|
operations based on a Samba-generated krb5.conf file. A new
|
|
parameter, "kerberos encryption types" allows configuring the
|
|
encryption types set in this file, thereby allowing the user to
|
|
enforce strong or legacy encryption in Kerberos exchanges.
|
|
|
|
The default value of "all" is compatible with previous behavior, allowing
|
|
all encryption algorithms to be negotiated. Setting the parameter to "strong"
|
|
only allows AES-based algorithms to be negotiated. Setting the parameter to
|
|
"legacy" allows only RC4-HMAC-MD5 - the legacy algorithm for Active Directory.
|
|
This can solves some corner cases of mixed environments with Server 2003R2 and
|
|
newer DCs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
new option for owner inheritance
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
The "inherit owner" smb.conf parameter instructs smbd to set the
|
|
owner of files to be the same as the parent directory's owner.
|
|
Up until now, this parameter could be set to "yes" or "no".
|
|
A new option, "unix only", enables this feature only for the UNIX owner
|
|
of the file, not affecting the SID owner in the Windows NT ACL of the
|
|
file. This can be used to emulate something very similar to folder quotas.
|
|
|
