The new global -option "smb3 directory leases" controls whether the feature is enabled or -not. By default, SMB3 Directory Leases are enabled on non-clustered Samba and -disabled on clustered Samba, based on the "clustering" option. See man smb.conf -for more details. - -SMB3 Directory Leases allow clients to cache directory listings and, depending -on the workload, result in a decent reduction in SMB requests from clients. - -Netlogon Ping over LDAP and LDAPS ---------------------------------- - -Samba must query domain controller information via simple queries on -the AD rootdse's netlogon attribute. Typically this is done via -connectionless LDAP, using UDP on port 389. The same information is -also available via classic LDAP rootdse queries over TCP. Samba can -now be configured to use TCP via the new "client netlogon ping -protocol" parameter to enable running in environments where firewalls -completely block port 389 or UDP traffic to domain controllers. REMOVED FEATURES ================ -The "nmbd proxy logon" feature was removed. This was used before -Samba4 acquired a NBT server. - -The parameter "cldap port" has been removed. CLDAP runs over UDP port -389, we don't see a reason why this should ever be changed to a -different port. Moreover, we had several places in the code where -Samba did not respect this parameter, so the behaviour was at least -inconsistent. - -fruit:posix_rename ------------------- - -This option of the vfs_fruit VFS module that could be used to enable POSIX -directory rename behaviour for OS X clients has been removed as it could result -in severe problems for Windows clients. - -As a possible workaround it is possible to prevent creation of .DS_Store files -(a Finder thingy to store directory view settings) on network mounts by running - - $ defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true - -on the Mac. - smb.conf changes ================ Parameter Name Description Default -------------- ----------- ------- - smb3 directory leases New Auto - vfs mkdir use tmp name New Auto - client netlogon ping protocol New cldap - fruit:posix_rename Removed - cldap port Removed KNOWN ISSUES ============ -https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Release_Planning_for_Samba_4.22#Release_blocking_bugs +https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Release_Planning_for_Samba_4.23#Release_blocking_bugs #######################################
