Samba 3.0.12 Available for Download
==============================
Release Notes for Samba 3.0.12
Mar 18, 2005
==============================
This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version
that production Samba servers should be running for all current
bug-fixes. Please read the following important changes in this
release.
Common bugs fixed in 3.0.12 include:
o Winbind failures when using 'disable netbios = yes'
o Failure to establish a trust relationship via 'net rpc trust
establish'
o Various portability & compiler issues.
o Read only file deletion failure caused by new delete semantics
in Windows XP SP2 and the MS 04-044 security hotfix.
o Error messages from shared Excel workbooks residing on Samba
file shares.
o Missing files in the output of smbclient -c 'dir' when run
against Windows file servers.
o Inability for Print Administrators to pause/resume/purge print
queues.
Additional features introduced in Samba 3.0.12:
o Performance enhancements when serving directories containing
large number of files.
o MS-DFS support added to smbclient.
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.
o New 'net rpc trustdom {add,del}' functionality to eventually
replace 'smbpasswd {-a,-x} -i'.
o New libsmbclient functionality.
=======================
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.

Release Notes for Samba 3.0.11
Feb 5, 2005
==============================
This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version
that production Samba servers should be running for all current
bug-fixes. Please read the following important changes in this
release.
Common bugs fixed in 3.0.11 include:
o Crash in smbd when using CUPS printing.
o Parsing error of other SIDs included in the user_info_3
structure returned from domain controllers.
o Inefficiencies when searching non-AD LDAP directories.
o Failure to expand variables in user domain attributes
in tdbsam and ldapsam.
o Memory leaks.
o Failure to retrieve certain attribute when migrating from
a Windows DC to a Samba DC via 'net rpc vampire'.
o Numerous printing bugs bugs including memory
bloating on large/busy print servers.
o Compatibility issues with Exchange 5.5 SP4.
o sendfile fixes.
Additional features introduced in Samba 3.0.11:
o Winbindd performance improvements.
o More 'net rpc vampire' functionality.
o Support for the Windows privilege model to assign rights
to specific SIDs.
o New administrative options to the 'net rpc' command.
============
LDAP Changes
============
If "ldap user suffix" or "ldap machine suffix" are defined in
smb.conf, all user-accounts must reside below the user suffix,
and all machine and inter-domain trust-accounts must be located
below the machine suffix. Previous Samba releases would fall
back to searching the 'ldap suffix' in some cases.
===============
Privilege Model
===============
Samba 3.0.11 supports the following assignable rights
SeMachineAccountPrivilege Add machines to domain
SePrintOperatorPrivilege Manage printers
SeAddUsersPrivilege Add users and groups to the domain
SeRemoteShutdownPrivilege Force shutdown from a remote system
SeDiskOperatorPrivilege Manage disk shares
These rights can be assigned to arbitrary users or groups
via the 'net rpc rights grant/revoke' command. More details
of Samba's privilege implementation can be found in the
Samba-HOWTO-Collection.

Release Notes for Samba 3.0.8
Nov 7, 2004
=============================
Common bugs fixed in 3.0.8 include:
o Compile fixes for HP-UX
o Fixes for the printer publishing code used when joined to
an AD domain.
o Incompatibilities with file system quotas.
o Several bugs in the spoolss printing code and print system
backends.
o Inconsistencies in the username map functionality when
configured on domain member servers.
o Various compile warnings and errors on various platforms.
o Fixes for kerberos interoperability with Windows 200x
domains when using DES keys.
o Fix for CAN-2004-0930 -- smbd remote DoS vulnerability.
o Fix for CAN-2004-0882 -- possible buffer overrun in smbd.
New features included in the 3.0.8 release are:
o New migration functionality added the the net tool
for files/directories, printers, and shares.
o New experimental idmap backend for assigning uids/gids
directly based on the user/group RID when acting as a
member of single domain without any trusts.
o Additional printer migration support for XP/2003 platforms.
===========================
Change in Winbindd Behavior
===========================
All usernames returned by winbindd are now converted to lower
case for better consistency. This means any winbind installation
relying on the winbind username will need to rename existing
directories and/or files based on the username (%u and %U) to lower
case (e.g. mv $name `echo $name | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`). This may
include mail spool files, home directories, valid user lines in
smb.conf, etc....
======================
Change in Username Map
======================
Previous Samba releases would only support reading the fully qualified
username (e.g. DOMAIN\user) from the username map when performing a
kerberos login from a client. However, when looking up a map
entry for a user authenticated by NTLM[SSP], only the login name would be
used for matches. This resulted in inconsistent behavior sometimes
even on the same server.
Samba 3.0.8 obeys the following rules when applying the username
map functionality:
* When performing local authentication, the username map is
applied to the login name before attempting to authenticate
the connection.
* When relying upon a external domain controller for validating
authentication requests, smbd will apply the username map
to the fully qualified username (i.e. DOMAIN\user) only
after the user has been successfully authenticated.

Release Notes for Samba 3.0.6
Aug 19, 2004
=============================
Common bugs fixed in 3.0.6 include:
o Schannel failure in winbindd.
o Numerous memory leaks.
o Incompatibilities between the 'write list' and 'force user'
smb.conf options.
o Premature optimization of the open_directory() internal
function that broke tools such as the ArcServe backup
agent, Macromedia HomeSite, and Robocopy.
o Corrupt workgroup names in nmbd's browse.dat.
o Sharing violation errors commonly seen when opening
when serving Microsoft Office documents from a Samba
file share.
o Browsing problems caused by an apostrophe (') in the
computer's description field.
o Problems creating special file types from UNIX CIFS
clients and enabling 'unix extensions'.
o Fix stalls in smbd caused by inaccessible LDAP servers.
o Remove various memory leaks.
o Fix issues in the password lockout feature.
New features introduced in this release include:
O Support symlinks created by CIFS clients which
can be followed on the server.
o Using a cups server other than localhost.
o Maintaining the service principal entry in the system
keytab for integration with other kerberized services.
Please refer to the 'use kerberos keytab' entry in
smb.conf(5). When using the heimdal kerberos libraries,
you must also specify the following in /etc/krb5.conf:
[libdefaults]
default_keytab_name = FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab
o Support for maintaining individual printer names
stored separately from the printer's sharename.
o Support for maintaining user password history.
o Support for honoring the logon times for user in a
Samba domain.
============================================
unix extensions = yes (default) and symlinks
============================================
Beginning with Samba 3.0.6pre1 (formerly known as 3.0.5pre1),
clients supporting the UNIX extensions to the CIFS protocol
can create symlinks to absolute paths which will be **followed**
by the server. This functionality has been requested in order
to correctly support certain applications when the user's home
directory is mounted using some type of CIFS client (e.g. the
cifsvfs in the Linux 2.6 kernel).
If this behavior is not acceptable for your production environment
you can set 'wide links = no' in the specific share declaration in
the server's smb.conf. Be aware that disabling wide link support
out of a share in Samba may impact the server's performance due
to the fact that smbd will now have to check each path additional
times before traversing it.
========================
Password History Support
========================
The new password history feature allows smbd to check the new
password in password change requests against a list of the user's
previous passwords. The number of previous passwords to save can
be set using pdbedit (4 in this example):
root# pdbedit -P "password history" -C 4
When using the ldapsam passdb backend, it is vital to secure the
following attributes from access by non-administrative users:
* sambaNTPassword
* sambaLMPassword
* sambaPasswordHistory
You should refer to your directory server's documentation on how
to implement this restriction.

Release Notes for Samba 3.0.5
July 20, 2004
=============================
Please note that Samba 3.0.5 is identical to Samba 3.0.4 with
the exception of correcting the two security issues outlined
below.
######################## SECURITY RELEASE ########################
Summary: Multiple Potential Buffer Overruns in Samba 3.0.x
CVE ID: CAN-2004-0600, CAN-2004-0686
(http://cve.mitre.org/)
This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version
that production Samba servers should be running for all current
bug-fixes.
It has been confirmed that versions of Samba 3 prior to v3.0.4
are vulnerable to two potential buffer overruns. The individual
details are given below.
=============
CAN-2004-0600
=============
Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.2 and later
The internal routine used by the Samba Web Administration
Tool (SWAT v3.0.2 and later) to decode the base64 data
during HTTP basic authentication is subject to a buffer
overrun caused by an invalid base64 character. It is
recommended that all Samba v3.0.2 or later installations
running SWAT either (a) upgrade to v3.0.5, or (b) disable
the swat administration service as a temporary workaround.
This same code is used internally to decode the
sambaMungedDial attribute value when using the ldapsam
passdb backend. While we do not believe that the base64
decoding routines used by the ldapsam passdb backend can
be exploited, sites using an LDAP directory service with
Samba are strongly encouraged to verify that the DIT only
allows write access to sambaSamAccount attributes by a
sufficiently authorized user.
The Samba Team would like to heartily thank Evgeny Demidov
for analyzing and reporting this bug.
-------------
CAN-2004-0686
-------------
Affected Versions: Samba 3.0.0 and later
A buffer overrun has been located in the code used to support
the 'mangling method = hash' smb.conf option. Please be aware
that the default setting for this parameter is 'mangling method
= hash2' and therefore not vulnerable.
Affected Samba 3 installations can avoid this possible security
bug by using the default hash2 mangling method. Server
installations requiring the hash mangling method are encouraged
to upgrade to Samba 3.0.5.

Release Notes for Samba 3.0.2a
February 13, 2004
==============================
Samba 3.0.2a is a minor patch release for the 3.0.2 code base
to address, in particular, a problem when using pdbedit to
sanitize (--force-initialized-passwords) Samba's tdbsam
backend. This is the latest stable release of Samba. This
is the version that all production Samba servers should be
running for all current bug-fixes.
******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
Beginning with Samba 3.0.2, passwords for accounts with a last
change time (LCT-XXX in smbpasswd, sambaPwdLastSet attribute in
ldapsam, etc...) of zero (0) will be regarded as uninitialized
strings. This will cause authentication to fail for such
accounts. If you have valid passwords that meet this criteria,
you must update the last change time to a non-zero value. If you
do not, then 'pdbedit --force-initialized-passwords' will disable
these accounts and reset the password hashes to a string of X's.
******************* Attention! Achtung! Kree! *********************
