104 ----------------------------------------
106 =============================
107 Release Notes for Samba 3.4.0
109 =============================
112 This is the first stable release of Samba 3.4.
115 Major enhancements in Samba 3.4.0 include:
116 ------------------------------------------
118 Configuration changes:
119 o The default passdb backend has been changed to 'tdbsam'!
122 o Samba4 and Samba3 sources are included in the tarball
124 Authentication Changes:
125 o Changed the way smbd handles untrusted domain names given during user
129 o Various fixes including printer change notificiation for Samba spoolss
133 o The remaining hand-marshalled DCE/RPC services (ntsvcs, svcctl, eventlog
134 and spoolss) were replaced by autogenerated code based on PIDL.
135 o Samba3 and Samba4 do now share a common tevent library.
136 o The code has been cleaned up and the major basic interfaces are shared with
138 o An asynchronous API has been added.
141 Configuration changes
142 =====================
145 The default passdb backend has been changed to 'tdbsam'! That breaks existing
146 setups using the 'smbpasswd' backend without explicit declaration! Please use
147 'passdb backend = smbpasswd' if you would like to stick to the 'smbpasswd'
148 backend or convert your smbpasswd entries using e.g. 'pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e
151 The 'tdbsam' backend is much more flexible concerning per user settings
152 like 'profile path' or 'home directory' and there are some commands which do not
153 work with the 'smbpasswd' backend at all.
159 On the way towards a standalone Samba AD domain controller, Samba3 and Samba4
160 branches can be built as "merged" build. That's why Samba3 and Samba4 sources
161 are included in the tarball. The merged build is possible in Samba 3.4.0, but
162 disabled by default. To learn more about the merged build,
163 please see http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Franky.
165 According to this one, there is no "source" directory included in the tarball at
166 all. Samba3 sources are located in "source3", Samba4 sources are located in
167 "source4". The libraries have been moved to the toplevel directory.
169 To build plain Samba3, please change to "source3" and start the build as usual.
170 To build Samba4 as well, please use the "--enable-merged-build" configure
174 Authentication Changes
175 ======================
177 Previously, when Samba was a domain member and a client was connecting using an
178 untrusted domain name, such as BOGUS\user smbd would remap the untrusted
179 domain to the primary domain smbd was a member of and attempt authentication
180 using that DOMAIN\user name. This differed from how a Windows member server
181 would behave. Now, smbd will replace the BOGUS name with it's SAM name. In
182 the case where smbd is acting as a PDC this will be DOMAIN\user. In the case
183 where smbd is acting as a domain member server this will be WORKSTATION\user.
184 Thus, smbd will never assume that an incoming user name which is not qualified
185 with the same primary domain, is part of smbd's primary domain.
187 While this behavior matches Windows, it may break some workflows which depended
188 on smbd to always pass through bogus names to the DC for verification. A new
189 parameter "map untrusted to domain" can be enabled to revert to the legacy
196 The spoolss subsystem was replaced by autogenerated code based on PIDL. That fixes
197 several printing issues including printer change notificiation on Samba print
198 servers and will stabilize the printing functionality generally.
199 The support for spoolss printing with Windows Vista has been improved.
205 The remaining hand-marshalled DCE/RPC services (ntsvcs, svcctl, eventlog and
206 spoolss) were replaced by autogenerated code based on PIDL.
207 So Günther Deschner finally corrected one of the biggest mistakes in the
208 development of Samba: Hand-marshalled RPC stubs.
212 Samba3 and Samba4 do now share a common tevent library for fd and timer events.
214 The code has been cleaned up and Samba3 and Samba4 do share the major basic
215 interfaces now. That is why the libraries were moved to the toplevel directory.
216 That is one of the first steps to share code and minimize the gap between
219 An asynchronous API has been added.
