| 9 | It was a little difficult to select an appropriate title for this chapter.
|
|---|
| 10 | From email messages on the Samba mailing lists it is clear that many people
|
|---|
| 11 | consider the updating and upgrading of Samba to be a migration matter. Others
|
|---|
| 12 | talk about migrating Samba servers when in fact the issue at hand is one of
|
|---|
| 13 | installing a new Samba server to replace an older existing Samba server.

|
|---|
| 19 | There has also been much talk about migration of Samba-3 from an smbpasswd
|
|---|
| 20 | passdb backend to the use of the tdbsam or ldapsam facilities that are new
|
|---|
| 21 | to Samba-3.

| 25 | Clearly, there is not a great deal of clarity in the terminology that various
|
|---|
| 26 | people apply to these modes by which Samba servers are updated. This is further
|
|---|
| 27 | highlighted by an email posting that included the following neat remark:

| 32 | I like the <quote>net rpc vampire</quote> on NT4, but that to my surprise does
|

| 33 | not seem to work against a Samba PDC and, if addressed in the Samba to Samba

| 60 | Before anyone commences an upgrade or an update of Samba, the one cardinal
|
|---|
| 61 | rule that must be observed is: Backup all Samba configuration files in
|
|---|
| 62 | case it is necessary to revert to the old version. Even if you do not like
|
|---|
| 63 | this precautionary step, users will punish an administrator who
|
|---|
| 64 | fails to take adequate steps to avoid situations that may inflict lost
|
|---|
| 65 | productivity on them.

|

| 71 | Samba makes it possible to upgrade and update configuration files, but it
|
|---|
| 72 | is not possible to downgrade the configuration files. Please ensure that
|
|---|
| 73 | all configuration and control files are backed up to permit a down-grade
|
|---|
| 74 | in the rare event that this may be necessary.

|
|---|
| 81 | It is prudent also to backup all data files on the server before attempting
|
|---|
| 82 | to perform a major upgrade. Many administrators have experienced the consequences
|
|---|
| 83 | of failure to take adequate precautions. So what is adequate? That is simple!
|
|---|
| 84 | If data is lost during an upgrade or update and it can not be restored,
|
|---|
| 85 | the precautions taken were inadequate. If a backup was not needed, but was available,
|
|---|
| 86 | caution was on the side of the victor.

|
|---|
| 101 | This is as good a time as any to define the terms <constant>upgrade</constant> and
|
|---|
| 102 | <constant>update</constant>. The term <constant>upgrade</constant> refers to
|
|---|
| 103 | the installation of a version of Samba that is a whole generation or more ahead of
|
|---|
| 104 | that which is installed. Generations are indicated by the first digit of the version
|
|---|
| 105 | number. So far Samba has been released in generations 1.x, 2.x, 3.x, and currently 4.0
|
|---|
| 106 | is in development.

|

| 111 | The term <constant>update</constant> refers to a minor version number installation
|
|---|
| 112 | in place of one of the same generation. For example, updating from Samba 3.0.10 to 3.0.14
|
|---|
| 113 | is an update. The move from Samba 2.0.7 to 3.0.14 is an upgrade.

|

| 118 | While the use of these terms is an exercise in semantics, what needs to be realized
|
|---|
| 119 | is that there are major functional differences between a Samba 2.x release and a Samba
|
|---|
| 120 | 3.0.x release. Such differences may require a significantly different approach to
|
|---|
| 121 | solving the same networking challenge and generally require careful review of the
|
|---|
| 122 | latest documentation to identify precisely how the new installation may need to be
|
|---|
| 123 | modified to preserve prior functionality.

| 143 | Before the days of Windows NT and OS/2, every Windows and DOS networking client
|
|---|
| 144 | that used the SMB protocols was an entirely autonomous entity. There was no concept
|
|---|
| 145 | of a security identifier for a machine or a user outside of the username, the
|
|---|
| 146 | machine name, and the workgroup name. In actual fact, these were not security identifiers
|
|---|
| 147 | in the same context as the way that the SID is used since the development of
|
|---|
| 148 | Windows NT 3.10.

|

| 167 | Around November 1997 support was added to Samba-1.9 to handle the Windows security
|
|---|
| 168 | RPC-based protocols that implemented support for Samba to store a machine SID. This
|
|---|
| 169 | information was stored in a file called <filename>MACHINE.SID.</filename>

|

| 176 | Within the lifetime of the early Samba 2.x series, the machine SID information was
|
|---|
| 177 | relocated into a tdb file called <filename>secrets.tdb</filename>, which is where
|
|---|
| 178 | it is still located in Samba 3.0.x along with other information that pertains to the
|
|---|
| 179 | local machine and its role within a domain security context.

|

| 187 | There are two types of SID, those pertaining to the machine itself and the domain to
|
|---|
| 188 | which it may belong, and those pertaining to users and groups within the security
|
|---|
| 189 | context of the local machine, in the case of standalone servers (SAS) and domain member
|
|---|
| 190 | servers (DMS).

|

| 200 | When the Samba <command>smbd</command> daemon is first started, if the <filename>secrets.tdb</filename>
|
|---|
| 201 | file does not exist, it is created at the first client connection attempt. If this file does
|
|---|
| 202 | exist, <command>smbd</command> checks that there is a machine SID (if it is a domain controller,
|
|---|
| 203 | it searches for the domain SID). If <command>smbd</command> does not find one for the current
|
|---|
| 204 | name of the machine or for the current name of the workgroup, a new SID will be generated and
|
|---|
| 205 | then written to the <filename>secrets.tdb</filename> file. The SID is generated in a nondeterminative
|
|---|
| 206 | manner. This means that each time it is generated for a particular combination of machine name
|
|---|
| 207 | (hostname) and domain name (workgroup), it will be different.

|

| 212 | The SID is the key used by MS Windows networking for all networking operations. This means
|
|---|
| 213 | that when the machine or domain SID changes, all security-encoded objects such as profiles
|
|---|
| 214 | and ACLs may become unusable.

| 220 | be restored to its previous value.

|

| 334 | updated using the Samba <command>profiles</command> utility. Please be aware that not all
|

| 335 | Linux distributions of the Samba RPMs include this essential utility. Please do not
|

| 349 | Samba uses two methods by which the primary NetBIOS machine name (also known as a computer
|

| 772 | Changes in Behavior
|
|---|
| 773 | -------------------
|
|---|
| 774 |
|
|---|
| 775 | The following issues are known changes in behavior between Samba 2.2 and
|
|---|
| 776 | Samba 3.0 that may affect certain installations of Samba.
|
|---|
| 777 |
|
|---|
| 778 | 1) When operating as a member of a Windows domain, Samba 2.2 would
|
|---|
| 779 | map any users authenticated by the remote DC to the 'guest account'
|
|---|
| 780 | if a uid could not be obtained via the getpwnam() call. Samba 3.0
|
|---|
| 781 | rejects the connection as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. There is no
|
|---|
| 782 | current work around to re-establish the 2.2 behavior.
|
|---|
| 783 |
|
|---|
| 784 | 2) When adding machines to a Samba 2.2 controlled domain, the
|
|---|
| 785 | 'add user script' was used to create the UNIX identity of the
|
|---|
| 786 | machine trust account. Samba 3.0 introduces a new 'add machine
|
|---|
| 787 | script' that must be specified for this purpose. Samba 3.0 will
|
|---|
| 788 | not fall back to using the 'add user script' in the absence of
|
|---|
| 789 | an 'add machine script'
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 792 | Passdb Backends and Authentication
|
|---|
| 793 | ##################################
|
|---|
| 794 |
|
|---|
| 795 | There have been a few new changes that Samba administrators should be
|
|---|
| 796 | aware of when moving to Samba 3.0.
|
|---|
| 797 |
|
|---|
| 798 | 1) encrypted passwords have been enabled by default in order to
|
|---|
| 799 | inter-operate better with out-of-the-box Windows client
|
|---|
| 800 | installations. This does mean that either (a) a samba account
|
|---|
| 801 | must be created for each user, or (b) 'encrypt passwords = no'
|
|---|
| 802 | must be explicitly defined in smb.conf.
|
|---|
| 803 |
|
|---|
| 804 | 2) Inclusion of new 'security = ads' option for integration
|
|---|
| 805 | with an Active Directory domain using the native Windows
|
|---|
| 806 | Kerberos 5 and LDAP protocols.
|
|---|
| 807 |
|
|---|
| 808 | MIT kerberos 1.3.1 supports the ARCFOUR-HMAC-MD5 encryption
|
|---|
| 809 | type which is necessary for servers on which the
|
|---|
| 810 | administrator password has not been changed, or kerberos-enabled
|
|---|
| 811 | SMB connections to servers that require Kerberos SMB signing.
|
|---|
| 812 | Besides this one difference, either MIT or Heimdal Kerberos
|
|---|
| 813 | distributions are usable by Samba 3.0.
|
|---|
| 814 |
|
|---|
| 815 |
|
|---|
| 816 | Samba 3.0 also includes the possibility of setting up chains
|
|---|
| 817 | of authentication methods (auth methods) and account storage
|
|---|
| 818 | backends (passdb backend). Please refer to the smb.conf(5)
|
|---|
| 819 | man page for details. While both parameters assume sane default
|
|---|
| 820 | values, it is likely that you will need to understand what the
|
|---|
| 821 | values actually mean in order to ensure Samba operates correctly.
|
|---|
| 822 |
|
|---|
| 823 | The recommended passdb backends at this time are
|
|---|
| 824 |
|
|---|
| 825 | * smbpasswd - 2.2 compatible flat file format
|
|---|
| 826 | * tdbsam - attribute rich database intended as an smbpasswd
|
|---|
| 827 | replacement for stand alone servers
|
|---|
| 828 | * ldapsam - attribute rich account storage and retrieval
|
|---|
| 829 | backend utilizing an LDAP directory.
|
|---|
| 830 | * ldapsam_compat - a 2.2 backward compatible LDAP account
|
|---|
| 831 | backend
|
|---|
| 832 |
|
|---|
| 833 | Certain functions of the smbpasswd(8) tool have been split between the
|
|---|
| 834 | new smbpasswd(8) utility, the net(8) tool, and the new pdbedit(8)
|
|---|
| 835 | utility. See the respective man pages for details.

| 838 | LDAP
|
|---|
| 839 | ####
|
|---|
| 840 |
|
|---|
| 841 | This section outlines the new features affecting Samba / LDAP
|
|---|
| 842 | integration.
|
|---|
| 843 |
|
|---|
| 844 | New Schema
|
|---|
| 845 | ----------
|
|---|
| 846 |
|
|---|
| 847 | A new object class (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace
|
|---|
| 848 | the old sambaAccount. This change aids us in the renaming of
|
|---|
| 849 | attributes to prevent clashes with attributes from other vendors.
|
|---|
| 850 | There is a conversion script (examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to
|
|---|
| 851 | modify and LDIF file to the new schema.
|
|---|
| 852 |
|
|---|
| 853 | Example:
|
|---|
| 854 |
|
|---|
| 855 | $ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." > sambaAcct.ldif
|
|---|
| 856 | $ convertSambaAccount --sid=<Domain SID> \
|
|---|
| 857 | --input=sambaAcct.ldif --output=sambaSamAcct.ldif \
|
|---|
| 858 | --changetype=[modify|add]
|
|---|
| 859 |
|
|---|
| 860 | The <DOM SID> can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid
|
|---|
| 861 | <DOMAINNAME>' on the Samba PDC as root. The changetype determines
|
|---|
| 862 | the format of the generated LDIF output--either create new entries
|
|---|
| 863 | or modify existing entries.
|
|---|
| 864 |
|
|---|
| 865 | The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
|
|---|
| 866 | "ldapsam_compat" passdb backend. However, the sambaAccount and
|
|---|
| 867 | associated attributes have been moved to the historical section of
|
|---|
| 868 | the schema file and must be uncommented before use if needed.
|
|---|
| 869 | The 2.2 object class declaration for a sambaAccount has not changed
|
|---|
| 870 | in the 3.0 samba.schema file.
|
|---|
| 871 |
|
|---|
| 872 | Other new object classes and their uses include:
|
|---|
| 873 |
|
|---|
| 874 | * sambaDomain - domain information used to allocate rids
|
|---|
| 875 | for users and groups as necessary. The attributes are added
|
|---|
| 876 | in 'ldap suffix' directory entry automatically if
|
|---|
| 877 | an idmap uid/gid range has been set and the 'ldapsam'
|
|---|
| 878 | passdb backend has been selected.
|
|---|
| 879 |
|
|---|
| 880 | * sambaGroupMapping - an object representing the
|
|---|
| 881 | relationship between a posixGroup and a Windows
|
|---|
| 882 | group/SID. These entries are stored in the 'ldap
|
|---|
| 883 | group suffix' and managed by the 'net groupmap' command.
|
|---|
| 884 |
|
|---|
| 885 | * sambaUnixIdPool - created in the 'ldap idmap suffix' entry
|
|---|
| 886 | automatically and contains the next available 'idmap uid' and
|
|---|
| 887 | 'idmap gid'
|
|---|
| 888 |
|
|---|
| 889 | * sambaIdmapEntry - object storing a mapping between a
|
|---|
| 890 | SID and a UNIX uid/gid. These objects are created by the
|
|---|
| 891 | idmap_ldap module as needed.
|
|---|
| 892 |
|
|---|
| 893 | * sambaSidEntry - object representing a SID alone, as a Structural
|
|---|
| 894 | class on which to build the sambaIdmapEntry.
|
|---|
| 895 |
|
|---|
| 896 |
|
|---|
| 897 | New Suffix for Searching
|
|---|
| 898 | ------------------------
|
|---|
| 899 |
|
|---|
| 900 | The following new smb.conf parameters have been added to aid in directing
|
|---|
| 901 | certain LDAP queries when 'passdb backend = ldapsam://...' has been
|
|---|
| 902 | specified.
|
|---|
| 903 |
|
|---|
| 904 | * ldap suffix - used to search for user and computer accounts
|
|---|
| 905 | * ldap user suffix - used to store user accounts
|
|---|
| 906 | * ldap machine suffix - used to store machine trust accounts
|
|---|
| 907 | * ldap group suffix - location of posixGroup/sambaGroupMapping entries
|
|---|
| 908 | * ldap idmap suffix - location of sambaIdmapEntry objects
|
|---|
| 909 |
|
|---|
| 910 | If an 'ldap suffix' is defined, it will be appended to all of the
|
|---|
| 911 | remaining sub-suffix parameters. In this case, the order of the suffix
|
|---|
| 912 | listings in smb.conf is important. Always place the 'ldap suffix' first
|
|---|
| 913 | in the list.
|
|---|
| 914 |
|
|---|
| 915 | Due to a limitation in Samba's smb.conf parsing, you should not surround
|
|---|
| 916 | the DN's with quotation marks.

|
|---|
| 928 | The key concern in this section is to deal with the changes that have been
|
|---|
| 929 | affected in Samba-3 between the Samba-3.0.0 release and the current update.
|
|---|
| 930 | Network administrators have expressed concerns over the steps that should be
|

| 931 | taken to update Samba-3 versions.

|
|---|
| 936 | The information in <link linkend="sbeug1"/> would not be necessary if every
|
|---|
| 937 | person who has ever produced Samba executable (binary) files could agree on
|
|---|
| 938 | the preferred location of the &smb.conf; file and other Samba control files.
|
|---|
| 939 | Clearly, such agreement is further away than a pipedream.

|
|---|
| 944 | Vendors and packagers who produce Samba binary installable packages do not,
|
|---|
| 945 | as a rule, use the default paths used by the Samba-Team for the location of
|
|---|
| 946 | the binary files, the &smb.conf; file, and the Samba control files (tdb's
|
|---|
| 947 | as well as files such as <filename>secrets.tdb</filename>). This means that
|
|---|
| 948 | the network or UNIX administrator who sets out to build the Samba executable
|
|---|
| 949 | files from the Samba tarball must take particular care. Failure to take care
|
|---|
| 950 | will result in both the original vendor's version of Samba remaining installed
|
|---|
| 951 | and the new version being installed in the default location used
|
|---|
| 952 | by the Samba-Team. This can lead to confusion and to much lost time as the
|
|---|
| 953 | uninformed administrator deals with apparent failure of the update to take
|
|---|
| 954 | effect.

|
|---|
| 959 | The best advice for those lacking in code compilation experience is to use
|
|---|
| 960 | only vendor (or Samba-Team) provided binary packages. The Samba packages
|
|---|
| 961 | that are provided by the Samba-Team are generally built to use file paths
|
|---|
| 962 | that are compatible with the original OS vendor's practices.

|

| 968 | If you are not sure whether a binary package complies with the OS
|
|---|
| 969 | vendor's practices, it is better to ask the package maintainer via
|
|---|
| 970 | email than to waste much time dealing with the nuances.
|
|---|
| 971 | Alternately, just diagnose the paths specified by the binary files following
|
|---|
| 972 | the procedure outlined above.

| 1087 | that the new server be renamed to that of the old server. This will

| 1099 | to shut down the Samba <command>smbd</command>, <command>nmbd</command>, and

| 1100 | <command>winbindd</command> services, delete the <filename>wins.dat</filename>

| 1102 | that the old name and IP address information is no longer able to interfere with

| 1198 | When replacing a Samba domain controller (PDC or BDC) that uses LDAP, the new server
|

|
|---|
| 1208 | or the <parameter>netbios name</parameter> is set to the original server name, Samba
|
