Besides security fixes this version of Samba3 + significantly changes a lot of options and behavior of Samba. + Please, read WHATSNEW.txt and other port documentation before + upgrading production systems. + + Off-line Logons and AD Site Support + =================================== + + Winbind's capability to support offline logons has been greatly + improved with the 3.0.25 release including support for locating + domain controllers asynchronously using Active Directory Site + information. + + + New IdMap Interface for Winbindd + ================================ + + The 3.0.25 release of Samba includes a rewritten IdMap interface + for winbindd which replaces the "idmap backend" parameter. Please + refer to the "idmap domains" description in the smb.conf(5) man + page for more details. + + Dynamic DNS Updates + =================== + + The "net ads join" command is now able to register the host's DNS + A records with Windows 2000 SP4 and 2003 DNS servers. This feature + must be enabled at compile time using the --with-dnsupdate when + running the ./configure script. There is also a related "net ads + dns" command for refreshing a host's records which could be launched + from a dhcp client script when a new IP address is obtained. + + Support for Additional ACL Modules + ================================== + + Samba's POSIX ACL support has been moved inside of the VFS layer + which means it is now possible to support multiple ACL + implementations on the same server including NFSv4 and GPFS ACLs. + + VFS ReadAhead Plugin + ==================== + + Windows Vista introduces pipe-lined read support for improved + performance when transferring files. The new vfs_readahead plugin + allows Linux file servers to utilize additional Kernel buffers for + caching files in order to avoid Disk I/O wait time when serving + Vista clients. If you experience poor read performance between + Linux servers and Vista clients, please test the vfs_readahead + module by adding the following lines to the share definition in + smb.conf: + + [file_share] + vfs objects = readahead + + Note that this plugin will result in additional RAM requirements + due to the increased amount of kernel buffer caches used by smbd. + Please refer to vfs_readahead(8) for more information. + + Windows Vista, Office 2007, and Offline Files + ============================================= + + Research surrounding offline files, Windows Vista, and Microsoft + Office 2007 has revealed a incompatibility between these + applications and the "map acl inherit = no" setting in smb.conf. + Users requiring support client side caching (csc) and offline + files are encouraged to enable the "map acl inherit" for any + affected share definitions in the server's configuration. + Future versions of Samba will enable this setting by default. + + Please refer to the smb.conf(5) man page for more details on + "map acl inherit". + 20070519: AFFECTS: users of x11/xorg AUTHOR: kris@FreeBSD.org |
