WHATS NEW IN Samba 2.0.0 beta1
==============================
WHATS NEW IN Samba 2.0.4b
=========================

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.

New/Changed parameters in 2.0.4
-------------------------------

There are 5 new parameters and one modified parameter in
the smb.conf file.

allow trusted domains
restrict anonymous
mangle locks
oplock break wait time
oplock contention limit

The new parameters are :

allow trusted domains
---------------------

This option is used in "security=domain" settings and allows
the Samba admin to restrict access to users within the domain
the the Samba server is in.

restrict anonymous
------------------

This parameter allows the Samba admin to cause Samba to
refuse access to anonymous users. Use of this parameter
is only recommened for homogenous NT client environments.

mangle locks
------------

This parameter was added to get around a bug in Windows NT
when dealing with Samba running on 32-bit systems (such
as Linux x86). This bug causes NT to send 64 bit locking
requests to 32-bit systems even though Samba correctly
tells the NT client not to do so. This option causes Samba
to map the lock requests from 64 bits to 32 bits on these
systems.

oplock break wait time
----------------------

This tuning parameter, added to help with clients that don't
respond to oplock break requests, causes Samba to deley for
this number of milliseconds before sending an oplock break
request to a client that caused the break to be sent. The
default is 10ms. This is an advanced tuning parameter and
should not be changed lightly.

oplock contention limit
-----------------------

This tuning parameter causes Samba not to grant oplocks
when an smbd daemon notices that there have been this
many concurrent requests for an oplock on a file. This
prevents the "baton passing" oplock problem where many
clients accessing one file pass the oplock between themselves
like a baton. The default is 2. This is an advanced tuning
parameter and should not be changed lightly.

The modified parameter is :

nt acl support
--------------

This is a global parameter that defaulted to False in
the previous release (2.0.3) and now defaults to True
as the RPC code has been added to Samba to allow it to
map UNIX permissions to NT ACLs.

All of these new parameters and changes are documented in the
smb.conf man pages and html pages.

Updated and New documentation
-----------------------------

A new document describing the manipulation of UNIX permissions
via the Windows NT security dialogs and their interaction with
Samba 2.0.4 is provided as :

docs/textdocs/NT_Security.txt
docs/htmldocs/NT_Security.html

Changes in 2.0.4b
-----------------

A bug with MS-Word 97 saving files with zero UNIX permissions
was fixed. Even though a workaround is available (set force
create mode = 644 on the share) Word is such an important
application that a point fix was neccessary.

Changes in 2.0.4a
-----------------

The text and html versions of NT_Security were missing from
the shipping tarball. Also a compile bug for platforms that
don't have usleep was fixed.

Bugfixes added since 2.0.3
--------------------------

1). Fix for 8 character password problem when using HPUX and
plaintext passwords.
2). --with-pam option added to ./configure.
3). Client fixes for memory leak and display of 64 bit values.
4). Fixes for -E and -s option with smbclient.
5). smbclient now allows -L //server or -L \\server
6). smbtar fix for display of 64 bit values.
7). Endian independence added to DCE/RPC code.
8). DCE/RPC marshalling/unmarshalling code re-written to provide
overflow reporting and sign and seal support.
9). Bind NAK reply packet added to DCE/RPC code, used to correctly
refuse bind requests (prevents NT system event log messages).
10). Mapping of UNIX permissions into NT ACL's for get and set
added.
11). DCE/RPC enumeration of numbers of shares made dynamic.
Samba now has no limit on the number of exported shares seen.
12). Fix to speed up random number seed generation on /dev/urandom
being unavailable.
13). Several memory fixes added by running Purify on the code.
14). Read from client error messages improved.
15). Fixed endianness used in UNICODE strings.
16). Cope with ERRORmoredata in an RPC pipe client call.
17). Check for malformed responses in nmbd register name.
18). NT Encrypted password changing from the NT password dialog box
now fully implmented.
19). Mangle 64-bit lock ranges into 32-bits (NT bug!) on a 32-bit
Samba platform.
20). Allow file to be pseudo-openend in order to read security only.
21). Improve filename mangling to reduce chance of collisions.
22). Added code to prevent granting of oplocks when a file is under
contention.
23). Added tunable wait time before sending an oplock break request
to a client if the client caused the break request. Helps with clients
not responding to oplock breaks.
24). Always respond negatively to queued local oplock break messages
before shutdown. This can prevent "freezes" on an oplock error.
25). Allow admin to restrict logons to correct domain when in domain
level security.
26). Added "restrict anonymous" patch from Andy ([email protected])
to prevent parameter substitution problems with anonymous connections.
27). Fix SMBseek where seeking to a negative number sets the offset
to zero.
28). Fixed problem with mode getting corrupted in trans2 request
(setting to zero means please ignore it).
29). Correctly become the authenticated user on an authenticated
DCE/RPC pipe request.
30). Correctly reset debug level in nmbd if someone set it on the
command line.
31). Added more checking into testparm
32). NetBench simulator added to smbtorture by Andrew.
33). Fixed NIS+ option compile (was broken in 2.0.3).
34). Recursive smbclient directory listing fix. Patch from E. Jay Berkenbilt
([email protected])

Bugfixes added since 2.0.2
--------------------------

1). --with-ssl configure now include ssl include directory. Fix
from Richard Sharpe.
2). Patch for configure for glibc2.1 support (large files etc.).
3). Several bugfixes for smbclient tar mode from Bob Boehmer
([email protected]) to fix smbclient aborting problems
when restoring tar files.
4). Some automount fixes for smbmount.
5). Attempt to fix the AIX 4.1.x/3.x problems where smbd runs as
root. As no-one has given us root access to such a server this
cannot be tested fully, but should work.
6). Crash bug fix in debug code where *real* uid rather than
*effective* uid was being checked before attempting to rotate
log files. This fix should help a *lot* of people who were
reporting smbd aborting in the middle of a copy operation.
7). SIGALRM bugfix to ensure infinate file locks time out.
8). New code to implement NT ACL reporting for cacls.exe program.
9). UDP loopback socket rebind fix for Solaris.
10). Ensure all UNICODE strings are correctly in little-endian
format.
11). smbpasswd file locking fix.
12). Fixes for strncpy problems with glibc2.1.
13). Ensure smbd correctly reports major and minor version number
and server type when queried via NT rpc calls.
14). Bugfix for short mangled names not being pulled off the
mangled stack correctly.
15). Fix for mapping of rwx bits being incorrectly overwritten
when doing ATTRIB.EXE
16). Fix for returning multiple PDU packets in NT rpc code. Should
allow multiple shares to be returned correctly).
17). Improved mapping of NT open access requests into UNIX open
modes.
18). Fix for copying files from an NTFS volume that contain
multiple data forks. Added 'magic' error code NT needs.
19). Fixed crash bug when primary NT authentication server
is down, rolls over to secondaries correctly now.
20). Fixed timeout processing to be timer based. Now will
always occur even if smbd is under load.
21). Fixed signed/unsigned problem in quotas code.
22). Fixed bug where setting the password of a completely fresh
user would end up setting the account disabled flag.
23). Improved user logon messages to help admins having
trouble with user authentication.

Bugfixes added since 2.0.1
--------------------------

Note that due to a critical signal handling bug in 2.0.1,
this release has been removed and replaced immediately with
2.0.2. The Samba Team would like to apologise for any problem
this may have caused.

1). Fixed smbd looping on SIGCLD problem. This was
caused by a missing break statement in a critical
piece of code.

Bugfixes added since 2.0.0
--------------------------

1). Autoconf changes for gcc2.7.x and Solaris 2.5/2.6
2). Autoconf changes to help HPUX configure correctly.

was setting the sid to 0x21 - should be *decimal* 21.
15). Fix for printing to remote machine under SVR4.
16). Fix for chgpasswd wait being interrupted with EINTR.
17). Fix for disk free routine. NT and Win98 now correctly
show greater than 2GB disks.
18). Fix for crash bug in stat cache statistics printing.
19). Fix for filenames ending in .~xx.
20). Fix for access check code wait being interrupted with EINTR.
21). Fix for password changes from "invalid password" to a valid
one setting the account disabled bit.
22). Fix for smbd crash bug in SMBreadraw cache prime code.
