+ Release Notes for Samba 3.6.0
+ August 9, 2011
+ =============================
+
+
+This is the first release of Samba 3.6.0.
Major enhancements in Samba 3.6.0 include:
set '--option=clientusentlmv2auth=no' on your smbclient command line, or
set 'client ntlmv2 auth = no' in your smb.conf
-The impact of 'client use spnego principal = no' is that we may be able
-to use Kerberos to communicate with a server less often in smbclient,
-winbind and other Samba client tools. We may fall back to NTLMSSP in
-more situations where we would previously rely on the insecure
-indication from the 'NegProt' CIFS packet. This mostly occursed when
-connecting to a name alias not recorded as a servicePrincipalName for
-the server. This indication is not available from Windows 2008 or later
-in any case, and is not used by modern Windows clients, so this makes
-Samba's behaviour consistent with other clients and against all servers.
+The impact of 'client use spnego principal = no' is that Samba will
+use CIFS/hostname to obtain a kerberos ticket, acting more like
+Windows when using Kerberos against a CIFS server in smbclient,
+winbind and other Samba client tools. This will change which servers
+we will successfully negotiate kerberos connections to. This is due
+to Samba no longer trusting a server-provided hint which is not
+available from Windows 2008 or later. For correct operation with all
+clients, all aliases for a server should be recorded as a as a
+servicePrincipalName on the server's record in AD. (For this reason,
+this behavior change and parameter was also made in Samba 3.5.9)
The impact of 'send spnego principal = no' is to match Windows 2008 and
not to send this principal, making existing clients give more consistent
------------------
The id mapping configuration has been a source of much grief in the past.
-For this release, id mapping has ben rewritten yet again with the goal
+For this release, id mapping has been rewritten yet again with the goal
of making the configuration more simple and more coherent while keeping
the needed flexibility and even adding to the flexibility in some respects.
and "idmap config * : backend" parameters. The reason for this change
is that the old options only provided an incomplete and hence deceiving
backwards compatibility, which was a source of many problems with
-updgrades. By introducing this change in configuration, it should be
+upgrades. By introducing this change in configuration, it should be
brought to the conciousness of the users that even the simple
id mapping is not working exactly as in Samba 3.0 versions any more.
+Endpoint Mapper
+---------------
+
+As Microsoft is more and more relying on endpoint mapper and we didn't have a
+complete implementation we decided to create an instance for Samba. The
+endpoint mapper is like a DNS server but for ports. If you want to talk to a
+certain RPC service over TCP/IP, you just ask the endpoint mapper on which
+port it is running. Then you can connect to the service and make sure that it
+is running.
+
+The code is deactivated by default, because it needs more testing and it
+doesn't scale yet. If you want to enable and test the endpoint mapper
+you can set "rpc_server:epmapper = daemon" in the smb.conf file.
+
+
+Internal restructuring
+----------------------
+
+Ongoing internal restructuring for better separation of internal subsystem to
+achieve a faster build, smaller binaries and cleaner dependencies for the samba3
+waf build.
+
+
SMB Traffic Analyzer
--------------------
multicast dns register New Yes
ncalrpc dir New
send spnego principal New No
- smb2 max credits New 128
+ smb2 max credits New 8192
smb2 max read New 1048576
smb2 max trans New 1048576
smb2 max write New 1048576
- strict allocate Changed Default Yes
username map cache time New 0
winbind max clients New 200
+ The variable substitutions for %i and %I no longer
+ use IPv4 addresses mapped to IPv6, e.g. '::ffff:192.168.0.1',
+ if the host has IPv6 enabled. Now %i and %I contain just
+ '192.168.0.1'.
