-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This is the latest stable release of Samba; the version that production Samba servers should be running for all current bug-fixes. There have been several important issues fixes since the 3.0.7 release. 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. 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. smb.conf changes - ---------------- Parameter Name Action -------------- ------ sendfile disabled force printername New The uncompressed tarball and patch file have been signed using GnuPG.
