Release Notes for Samba 3.0.23c
Aug 30, 2006
===============================
We would like to thank the developers of the Saturn code analysis
tool from Stanford University (http://glide.stanford.edu/saturn).
This release includes several code fixes based on its reports.
Common bugs fixed in 3.0.23c include:
o Authentication failures in pam_winbind when the AD domain
policy is set to not expire passwords.
o Authorization failures when using smb.conf options such
as "valid users" with the smbpasswd passdb backend.
RID Algorithms & Passdb
=======================
Starting with the 3.0.23c release, the officially supported passdb
backends (smbpasswd, tdbsam, and ldapsam) now operate identically
with regards to the historical RID algorithm for unmapped users
and groups (i.e. accounts not in the passdb or group mapping table).
The resulting behavior is that all unmapped users are resolved
to a SID in the S-1-22-1 domain and all unmapped groups resolve
to a SID in the S-1-22-2 domain. Previously, when using the
smbpasswd passdb, such users and groups would resolve to an
algorithmic SID in the machine's own domain (S-1-5-XX-XX-XX).
However, the smbpasswd backend still utilizes the RID algorithm
when creating new user accounts or allocating a RID for a new
group mapping entry.
With the changes in the 3.0.23c release, it is now possible to
resolve a uid/gid, name, or SID in any direction and always obtain
a symmetric mapping. This is important so that values for smb.conf
parameters such as "valid users" resolve to the same SIDs as those
included in the local user's initial token.
Most installations will notice no change. However, because
an unmapped account's SID will now change even when using
smbpasswd it is possible that any security descriptors on files
previously copied from a Samba host to a Windows NTFS partition
may now fail to give access. The workaround is to either manually
map all affect groups (or add impacted users to the server's
passdb) or to manually reset the file's ACL.

===============================
Release Notes for Samba 3.0.23b
Aug 7, 2006
===============================
Common bugs fixed in 3.0.23b include:
o Ambiguity with unqualified names in smb.conf parameters
such as "force user" and "valid users".
o Errors in 'net ads join' caused by bad IP address in the list
of domain controllers.
o SMB signing errors in the client and server code.
o Domain join failures when using smbpasswd on a Samba PDC.
Member servers, domain accounts, and smb.conf
=============================================
Since Samba 3.0.8, it has been recommended that all domain accounts
listed in smb.conf on a member server be fully qualified with the
domain name. This is now a requirement. All unqualified names are
assumed to be local to the Unix host, either as part of the server's
local passdb or in the local system list of accounts (e.g. /etc/passwd
or /etc/group).
The reason for this change is that smbd has transitioned from
access checks based on string comparisons to token based
authorization. All names are resolved to a SID and then verified
against the logged on user's NT user token. Local names will
resolve to a local SID, while qualified domain names will resolve
to the appropriate domain SID.
If the member server is not running winbindd at all, domain
accounts will be implicitly mapped to local accounts and their
tokens will be modified appropriately to reflect the local
SID and group membership.
For example, the following share will restrict access to the
domain group "Linux Admins" and the local group srvadmin.
[restricted]
path = /data
valid users = +"DOMAIN\Linux Admins" +srvadmin
Note that to restrict the [homes] share on a member server to the
owner of that directory, it is necessary to prefix the %S value
to "valid users".
[global]
security = {domain,ads}
workgroup = DOM
winbind separator = +
[homes]
valid users = DOM+%S

Release Notes for Samba 3.0.23
Jul 10, 2006
==============================
There has been a substantial amount of cleanup work done during
this development cycle. We would like to thank both Coverity
(http://www.coverity.com/) and Klocwork (http://www.klocwork.com/)
for analyzing the Samba source code. As a result, this release
includes fixes for over 400 defects. The coverage was approximately
even with over 200 defects reported by each tool.
Thanks very much to those people who spent time testing the
release candidates and reported their findings. We would like to
especially thank Thomas Bork for his numerous
reports. We believe that the final release is in much better shape
in large part due to his efforts.
New features in 3.0.23 include:
o Improved 'make test'
o New offline mode in winbindd.
o New Kerberos support for pam_winbind.so.
o New handling of unmapped users and groups.
o New non-root share management tools.
o Improved support for local and BUILTIN groups.
o Winbind IDMAP integration with RFC2307 schema objects supported
by Windows 2003 R2.
o Rewritten 'net ads join' to mimic Windows XP without requiring
administrative rights to join a domain.
User and Group changes
======================
The user and group internal management routines have been
rewritten to prevent overlaps of assigned Relative Identifiers
(RIDs). In the past the has been a potential problem when either
manually mapping Unix groups with the 'net groupmap' command or
when migrating a Windows domain to a Samba domain using 'net rpc
vampire'.
Unmapped users are now assigned a SID in the S-1-22-1 domain and
unmapped groups are assigned a SID in the S-1-22-2 domain.
Previously they were assign a RID within the SAM on the Samba
server. For a DC this would have been under the authority of the
domain SID where as on a member server or standalone host, this
would have been under the authority of the local SAM (hint: net
getlocalsid).
The result is that any unmapped users or groups on an upgraded
Samba domain controller may be assigned a new SID. Because the
SID rather than a name is stored in Windows security descriptors,
this can cause a user to no longer have access to a resource for
example if a file was copied from a Samba file server to a local
NTFS partition. Any files stored on the Samba server itself will
continue to be accessible because Unix stores the Unix gid and not
the SID for authorization checks.
A further example will help illustrate the change. Assume that a
group named 'developers' exists with a Unix gid of 782 but this
user does not exist in Samba's group mapping table. it would be
perfectly normal for this group to be appear in an ACL editor.
Prior to 3.0.23, the group SID might appear as
S-1-5-21-647511796-4126122067-3123570092-2565. With 3.0.23, the
group SID would be reported as S-1-22-2-782. Any security
descriptors associated with files stored on an NTFS disk partition
would not allow access based on the group permissions if the user
was not a member of the
S-1-5-21-647511796-4126122067-3123570092-2565 group. Because this
group SID not reported in a user's token is S-1-22-2-782, Windows
would fail the authorization check even though both SIDs in some
respect referred to the same Unix group.
The current workaround is to create a manual domain group mapping
entry for the group 'developers' to point at the
S-1-5-21-647511796-4126122067-3123570092-2565 SID.
Passdb Changes
==============
The "passdb backend" parameter no long accepts multiple backends
in a chaining configuration. Also be aware that the SQL and XML
based passdb modules have been removed in this release. More
information of external support for a SQL passdb module can be
found at http://pdbsql.sourceforge.net/.
Group Mapping Changes
=====================
The default mapping entries for groups such as "Domain Admins" are
no longer created when using an smbpasswd file or a tdbsam passdb
backend. This means that it is necessary to use 'net groupmap
add' rather than 'net groupmap modify' to set these entries.
This change has no effect on winbindd's IDmap functionality for
domain groups.
LDAP Changes
============
There has also been a minor update the Samba LDAP schema file. A
substring matching rule has been added to the sambaSID attribute
definition. For OpenLDAP servers, this will require the addition
of 'index sambaSID sub' to the slapd.conf configuration file. It
will be necessary to run slapindex after making this change. There
has been no change to actual data storage schema.

Release Notes for Samba 3.0.22
Mar 30, 2006
==============================
This is a security release of Samba. The Samba 3.0.21 release
series (including the patch releases a through c) has been
discovered to expose the clear text of the server's machine
account credentials in the winbind log files when the log
level is set to 5 or higher. This defect has been assigned
the CVE number CAN-2006-1059.
Summary
=======
The machine trust account password is the secret shared
between a domain controller and a specific member server.
Access to the member server machine credentials allows
an attacker to impersonate the server in the domain and
gain access to additional information regarding domain
users and groups.
The winbindd daemon included in Samba 3.0.21 and subsequent
patch releases (3.0.21a-c) writes the clear text of server's
machine credentials to its log file at level 5. The winbindd
log files are world readable by default and often log files
are requested on open mailing lists as tools used to debug
server misconfigurations.
This affects servers configured to use domain or ads security
and possibly Samba domain controllers as well (if configured
to use winbindd).
=======
--------------------------------------------------

Release Notes for Samba 3.0.20a
Sept 30, 2005
===============================
Common bugs fixed in 3.0.20a include:
o Stability problems with winbindd.
o Crash bugs caused by incompatibilities on 64-bit systems.
o Missing files from directory listings on AIX servers
o User Manager interoperability problems.
o Minor build difficulties on various platforms such as
Solaris and OpenBSD,
Winbind, security = domain, and Active Directory
================================================
Recent security updates for Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 have
changed the fashion in which user and group lists can be obtained
from domain controllers. In short, the RPC mechanisms used by
"security = domain" to retrieve users and groups is not compatible
with these changes. The "security = ads" configuration is not
affected by the Windows protocol changes.
Samba developers are actively working to correct this problem in
the 3.0.21 release. In the meantime, Administrators who are unable
to migrate to "security = ads" and must continue using "security =
domain", can define credentials to be used by winbindd for account
enumeration by executing the following command as root.
wbinfo --set-auth-user='DOMAIN\username%password'

Release Notes for Samba 3.0.20
Aug 19, 2005
==============================
Additional features introduced in Samba 3.0.20 include:
o Support for several new Win32 rpc pipes.
o Improved support for OS/2 clients.
o New 'net rpc service' tool for managing Win32 services.
o Capability to set the owner on new files and directory
based on the parent's ownership.
o Experimental, asynchronous IO file serving support.
o Completed Support for Microsoft Print Migrator.
o New Winbind IDmap plugin (ad) for retrieving uid and gid
from AD servers which maintain the SFU user and group
attributes.
o Rewritten support for POSIX pathnames when utilizing
the Linux CIFS fs client.
o New asynchronous winbindd.
o Support for Microsoft Print Migrator.
o New Windows NT registry file I/O library.
o New user right (SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege) added.
o New "net share migrate" options.
What happened to 3.0.15 - 3.0.19?
==================================
After some discussion it was deemed that the amount of changes
going into the next Samba 3.0 release needed something to catch
people's attention. Skipping several releases was chosen as
the best solution with the least overhead. There will be no
3.0.15 - 3.0.19 ever released. The next production release
following 3.0.20 should be 3.0.21.
The original announcement about the version number change can
be found in the samba mailing list archives:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&m=111721010206997&w=2
Asynchronous Winbind Implementation
===================================
Winbindd has been completely rewritten in this release to support
an almost completely non-blocking, asynchronous request/reply
model. This means that winbindd will scale much better in
large domain environments and on high latency networks. Neither
the client interface nor the command line tools (i.e. wbinfo) have
changed in their calling conventions or syntax. However, due to
internal structure changes, it is required (more so than normal)
that you install the nss_winbind.so library included in this release.
Support for Microsoft Print Migrator
====================================
Samba 3.0.20 includes full support for migrating printers from
Windows servers or other Samba servers via the Microsoft Print
Migrator tool. Restoring printers requires a working "add printer
command" defined in smb.conf. Current support also allows
administrators to create a master list of printer drivers which
can be restored in bulk on new (or existing) Samba installations.
Asynchronous IO Support
=======================
Experimental support for async IO has been added to smbd for
certain platforms. To enable this new feature, Samba must be
compiled to include the --with-aio-support configure option.
In addition, the "aio read size" and "aio write size" to non-zero
values. See the smb.conf(5) man page for more details on these
settings.

o More performance improvements when using Samba/OpenLDAP based
DC's via the 'ldapsam:trusted=yes' option.
o Support for the Novell NDS universal password when using the
ldapsam passdb backend.

=======================
Large Directory Support
=======================
Samba 3.0.12pre1 introduces a specific mechanism for dealing
with file services that frequently contain a large number of files
per directory. Historically Samba's performance has suffered
in such environments due to the translation from case
insensitive lookups by Windows client to the case sensitive
storage mechanisms used by UNIX filesystems.
Configuration details along with a short HOWTO can be found at:
http://www.samba.org/samba/ftp/HOWTO/Samba-LargeDirectory-HOWTO
==================================
libsmbclient Binary Compatibility
==================================
Please note that a change has been made to the _SMBCCTX structure
in source/include/libsmbclient.h. This change is not backwards
compatible with applications linked against the libsmbclient.so
library from Samba 3.0.11. However, it is compatible with all
other Samba 3.0.x releases. This means that it will be most likely
be necessary to recompile any applications linked against the
3.0.11 version of the library.
