+ =============================
+ Release Notes for Samba 3.3.0
+ January, 27 2009
+ =============================
+
+This is the first stable release of Samba 3.3.0.
+
+Major enhancements in Samba 3.3.0 include:
+
+ General changes:
+ o The passdb tdbsam version has been raised.
+
+ Configuration/installation:
+ o Splitting of library directory into library directory and separate
+ modules directory.
+ o The default value of "ldap ssl" has been changed to "start tls".
+
+ File Serving:
+ o Extended Cluster support.
+ o New experimental VFS modules "vfs_acl_xattr" and "vfs_acl_tdb"
+ to store NTFS ACLs on Samba file servers.
+
+ Winbind:
+ o Simplified idmap configuration.
+ o New idmap backends "adex" and "hash".
+ o Added new parameter "winbind reconnect delay".
+ o Added support for user and group aliasing.
+ o Added support for multiple domains to idmap_ad.
+
+ Administrative tools:
+ o The destination "all" of smbcontrol does now affect all running
+ daemons including nmbd and winbindd.
+ o New 'net rpc vampire keytab' and 'net rpc vampire ldif' commands.
+ o The 'net' utility can now use kerberos for joining and authentication.
+ o The 'wbinfo' utility can now add, modify and remove identity mapping entries.
+
+ Libraries:
+ o NetApi library implements various new calls for User- and Group
+ Account Management.
+ o libsmbclient does now determine case sensitivity based on file system
+ attributes.
+
+
+General changes
+===============
+
+The passdb tdbsam version has been raised as among other things the RID counter
+has been moved from the winbindd_idmap.tdb to the passdb.tdb file to make
+"passdb backend = tdbsam" working in clustered environments.
+
+Please note that an updated passdb.tdb file is _not_ compatible with Samba
+versions before 3.3.0! Please backup your passdb.tdb file if
+you use "passdb backend = tdbsam". That can be achieved by running
+
+'tdbbackup /etc/samba/passdb.tdb'
+
+before the update.
+
+
+Configure changes
+=================
+
+The configure option "--with-libdir" has been removed. The library
+directory can still be specified by using the existing "--libdir" option.
+A new option "--with-modulesdir" has been added to allow the specification
+of a separate directory for the shared modules.
+
+
+Configuration changes
+=====================
+
+The default value of "ldap ssl" has been changed to "start tls". This means,
+Samba will use the LDAPv3 StartTLS extended operation (RFC2830) for
+communicating with directory servers by default. If your directory servers
+do not support this extended operation, you will have to set
+"ldap ssl = no". Otherwise, Samba could not contact the directory servers
+anymore!
+
+
+Winbind idmap backend changes
+=============================
+
+The idmap configuration has changed with version 3.3 to something that
+allows a smoother upgrade path from pre-3.0.25 configurations that use
+"idmap backend". The reason for this change is that to many, also to Samba
+developers, the 3.0.25 style configuration with "idmap config" turned out
+to be very complex. Version 3.3 no longer deprecates the "idmap backend"
+parameter, instead with "idmap backend" the default idmap backend is
+specified.
+
+Accordingly, the "idmap config <domain> : default = yes" setting is no
+longer being looked at.
+
+The alloc backend defaults to the default backend, which should be able to
+allocate IDs. In the default distribution the tdb and ldap backends can
+allocate, the ad and rid backends can not. The idmap alloc range is now
+being set with the "old" parameters "idmap uid" and "idmap gid".
+
+The "idmap domains" parameter has been removed.
+
+
+winbind reconnect delay
+=======================
+
+This is a new parameter which specifies the number of seconds the Winbind
+daemon will wait between attempts to contact a Domain controller for a domain
+that is determined to be down or not contactable.
+
+
+Winbind's Name Aliasing
+=======================
+
+Name aliasing in Winbind is a feature that allows an administrator to
+map a fully qualified user or group name from a Windows domain to a
+convenient short name for Unix access. This is similar to the username
+map functionality supported by smbd but is primary intended for
+clients and servers making use of Winbind's PAM and NSS libraries.
+
+For example, the user "DOMAIN\fred" has been mapped to the Unix name
+"freddie".
+
+ $ getent passwd "DOMAIN\fred"
+ freddie:x:1000:1001:Fred Jones:/home/freddie:/bin/bash
+
+ $ getent passwd freddie
+ freddie:x:1000:1001:Fred Jones:/home/freddie:/bin/bash
+
+The name aliasing support is provided by individual nss_info plugins.
+For example, the new "adex" plugin reads the uid attribute from Active
+Directory to make a short login name to the fully qualified name.
+While the new "hash" module utilizes a local file to map "short_name
+= QUALIFIED\name". Both user and group name mapping is supported.
+Please refer to the "winbind nss info" option in smb.conf(5) and
+to individual plugin man pages for further details.
+
+
+idmap_hash
+==========
+
+The idmap_hash plugin provides similar support as the idmap_rid
+module. However, uids and gids are generated from the full domain
+SID using a hashing algorithm that maps the lower 19 bits from the user
+or group RID to bits 0 - 19 in the Unix id and hashes 96 bits from
+the domain SID to bits 20 - 30 in the Unix id. The result is a 31 bit
+uid or gid that is consistent across machines and provides support for
+trusted domains.
+
+Please refer to the idmap_hash(8) man page for more details.
+
+
+idmap_adex
+==========
+
+The adex idmap/nss_info plugin is an adaptation of the Likewise
+Enterprise plugin with support for OU based cells removed
+(since the Windows pieces to manage the cells are not available).
+
+This plugin supports
+
+ * The RFC2307 schema for users and groups.
+ * Connections to trusted domains
+ * Global catalog searches
+ * Cross forest trusts
+ * User and group aliases
+
+Prerequisite: Add the following attributes to the Partial Attribute
+Set in global catalog:
+
+ * uidNumber
+ * uid
+ * gidNumber
+
+A basic config using the current trunk code would look like:
+
+[global]
+ idmap backend = adex
+ idmap uid = 10000 - 29999
+ idmap gid = 10000 - 29999
+ winbind nss info = adex
+
+ winbind normalize names = yes
+ winbind refresh tickets = yes
+ template homedir = /home/%D/%U
+ template shell = /bin/bash
+
+Please refer to the idmap_adex(8) man page for more details.
+
+
+Libraries
+=========
+
+libsmbclient will now treat file names case-sensitive by default if the filesystem
+we are connecting to supports case sensitivity. This change of behavior is
+considered a bug fix, as it was previously possible to accidentally overwrite a
+file that had the same case-insensitive name but a different case-sensitive name
+as a previously-existing file, while creating a new file.
+
+If it is not possible to detect if the filesystem supports case sensitivity,
+the user-specified option value will be used.
