. Option 'P' to set password was not possible in smbldap-useradd when usernames contained
space character
. smbldap-populate and smbldap_tools.pm: classes hierarchical is specified completly to avoid
problem with others directories then OpenLDAP.
. smbldap-useradd: users are not added to to group if the group is their primary one
. smbldap-useradd and smbldap_tools: new function is_nonldap_unix_user to allow adding non
ldap users to group. This is typically used to add users from a trusted domains (winbind)
. when adding trusted account (smbldap-useraddd -i) '$' caracter is added to the name if
not present
. if with_smbpasswd="1", we let samba adding the sambaPrimaryGroupSID entry
. smbldap-passwd: new option -s and -u to only update samba password or unix password
. smbldap-passwd: regular users can change their passwords when TLS is forced
. parsing smb.conf is correct if parameters are defined in several lines (using \ caracter)
. automatic creation of the OU of a new user if it does not exist (smbldap-useradd -o ou=xxx)
The new OU must me relative to the $config{usersdn} parameter
2005-07-12
. sambaPrimaryGroupSID for samba users is set to DOMAIN_SID-513, whatever is
the defaultUserGid parameter value defined in smbldap.conf
2005-06-07
. sambaBadPasswordCount is set to 0 when using smbldap-passwd
. update for respect with RFC 2256:
sn <-> nom (option S)
givenName <-> prenom (option N)
cn <-> person's full name
. UTF8 support for givenName (option N) and sn (option S)
2005-05-26: new tag (v0-9-1 for rpm version 0.9.1)
. bugs correction and updates in configure.pl
2005-05-17: new tag (v0-9-0 for rpm version 0.9.0)
2005-05-16
. update release version 0.9.0 for synchronisation with examples of the "Samba3 by examples"
book of John H Terpstra.
. default configuration files for the smbldap-tools can be place in
/etc/opt/IDEALX/smbldap-tools or /etc/smbldap-tools/
. default configuration file for samba can be /etc/samba/smb.conf or
/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf
. new parameter userHomeDirectoryMode in smbldap.conf to set the default directory mode used
for user's homeDirectory
. enhancements and fixes in configure.pl
2005-04-27
. error in group type documentation in smbldap-groupadd
2005-04-17
. warnings was displayed when samba configuraton file (smb.conf) had single quotes in
parameters definition (thanks to Tom Burkart <samba@aussec.com>)
. 'idmapdn' is now also optional in smbldap.conf (if needed and defined in smb.conf)
2005-04-03: new tag (v0-8-8 for rpm version 0.8.8)
2005-03-09
. Four more options are now optional in smbldap.conf. Default values are:
> slaveLDAP="127.0.0.1"
> slavePort="389"
> masterLDAP="127.0.0.1"
> masterPort="389"
> ldapTLS="0"
. the following suffix can be used with the smbldap-tools:
> suffix="dc=dpt,dc=idealx,dc=org", suffix="dc=idealx,dc=org" or suffix="dc=idealx"
. update to smbldap-populate:
. administrator account is now called 'root'
. default uidNumber for root is set to 0
. default rid for root is set to 500
. default gidNumber for administrator is set to 0
uidNumber and gidNumber can be changed with option -k and -m
2005-03-08
. Four parameters in smbldap.conf are now optional:
'suffix', 'usersdn', 'computersdn' and 'groupsdn'
If those parameters are not set, they are respectivly taken from the following
parameters in smb.conf :
'ldap suffix', 'ldap user suffix', 'ldap machine suffix' and 'ldap group suffix'
. renaming two files:
$ mv smbldap-migrate-accounts smbldap-migrate-pwdump-accounts
$ mv smbldap-migrate-groups smbldap-migrate-pwdump-groups
2005-02-26
. New option '-t time' to smbldap-useradd: wait <time> seconds before exiting script when
adding computer's account. This is useful when Master/PDC and Slaves/BDCs are connected
through the internet (replication is not real time).
The Samba smb.conf configuration file should then look like this :
> add machine script = /opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-useradd -t 30 -w "%u"
This options can only be used with the -w to add computers's account.
bug report: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2384
. three parameters are now optional in smbldap.conf
. 'sambaUnixIdPooldn': If not defined, next uidNumber and gidNumber available for new
users and groups are stored in sambaDomainName object
. 'SID': If not defined, parameter is taking from "net getlocalsid" return
. 'sambaDomain': If not defined, parameter is taking from smb.conf configuration file
. add 'sambaDomain' parameter in smbldap.conf. If not defined 'workgroup' parameter in
smb.conf is used
2005-02-13: new tag (v0-8-7 for rpm version 0.8.7)
. update smbldap-populate: check previously if entries exist. If the sambaDomain entry
already exist when using smbldap-populate, we just modify it to add the sambaUnixIdPool
objectclass which store the first uidNumber and gidNumber available.
. update connection procedure to the directory in smbldap-passwd
. new script smbldap-userinfo from Pawel Wieleba to allow people update their own
informations like telephoneNumber, name and some others (need proper ACL in ldap
configuration)
. new migration scripts from Pawel Wieleba smbldap-migrate-unix-accounts and
smbldap-migrate-unix-groups to help migrating users and groups defined in /etc/passwd (and/or
/etc/shadow) and /etc/group.
2005-01-29
. bug in smbldap-populate: the -b option (guest login name) was broken
. new option '-k' and '-l' to smbldap-populate to defined the uidNumber of administrator and
guest accounts
. group "Account Operators" is now created with smbldap-populate
. Administrator account does not need anymore uidNumber=0 (using 998)
. update in smbldap-populate and smbldap.conf:
. next uidNumber and gidNumber available for new users and new groups are now
stored in the sambaDomainName object. This allow the sambaUnixIdPooldn to not
been viewed as a real user under IMC (http://www.idealx.org/prj/imc/)
sambaUnixIdPooldn in configuration file smbldap.conf must look like
> sambaUnixIdPooldn="sambaDomainName=MYDOMAIN,${suffix}"
. the sambaDomainName is determine by
- the sambaUnixIdPooldn parameter of smbldap.conf, or
- the workgroup parameter of smb.conf if sambaUnixIdPooldn is not a sambaDomainName
object
. patch to smbldap-useradd: $modify->code was executed even if no modification was required,
this can cause error mesage with some ldap directory.
. small typo corrections
2005-16-01: new tag (v0-8-6 for rpm version 0.8.6)
2005-06-01:
. new location /opt/IDEALX and /etc/opt/IDEALX/ (instead of /usr/local and /etc)
to conform to FHS/LSB

. patch to smbldap-passwd from Pawel Wieleba <wielebap@volt.iem.pw.edu.pl>:
see www.iem.pw.edu.pl/~wielebap/ldap/smbldap-tools/smbldap-tools_doc.pdf
. use of slappasswd was insecure as external program. Now slappasswd is run in
a child process and shell is not used
. it is now possible to not use slappasswd but perl module only
. new parameter 'with_slappasswd' in smbldap.conf to allow not use 'slappasswd'
but perl module only
. new option '-r' to smbldap-usermod for renaming a user. Exemple:
$ smbldap-usermod -d /home/new_user -r new_user old_user
2004-10-28: new tag (v0-8-5-3 for rpm version 0.8.5-3)
2004-10-07:
. smbldap-useradd: set sambaPwdLastSet to the current date, and sambaPwdMustChange
to 2147483647 for trust account to work
. patch from Quentin Delance <quentin.delance@insalien.org>:
added test to not being able to remove primary group of a user
2004-08-29: new tag (v0-8-5-2 for rpm version 0.8.5-2)
. small corrections
. computer's account have the 'gecos' attribute set to 'computer': computers may not
join the domain if this attribute is not defined (thanks to "Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski")
2004-06-25:
. patch to smbldap_tools.pm: the 'search' to sambaUnixIdPool objectclass is done
directly to the object defined in the configuration file (sambaUnixIdPooldn="...").
This allow to have more then one object having the sambaUnixIdPool objectclass.
. patch smbldap-useradd. The -P and -T options had no effect if the -a was not used.
. update configure.pl
2004-06-21:
. new '-o' option in smbldap-useradd to set the organizatinal unit where the account
will be created. It is relative of the user suffix dn ($usersdn) defined in the
configuration file
2004-06-17: new tag (v0-8-5-1 for rpm version 0.8.5-1)
. update documentation
2004-05-25:
. patch to smbldap-populate:
fix sambaSID and sambaGroupType error for builtin groups
. new entry in /etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap.conf for idmap ou:
> idmapdn="ou=Idmap,${suffix}"
2004-05-10:
. patch from Ross Becker <ross@rbecker.org> :
new option in smbldap.conf to set the salt format if CRYPT hash is used.
. add a check to see if STDIN is connected to tty by using if (-t STDIN) ...
This allow the unsecure use of "echo -e 'password\npassword' | smbldap-passwd jto"
2004-04-30:
. patch for smbldap-useradd and smbldap-groupadd: next uidNumber and gidNumber available
are now stored in cn=NextFreeUnixId
WARNING:
. when upgrading, you need to create the new object manually (see INSTALL file)
. this object's name is defined in /etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap.conf
you can defined another name as desired, for example:
> sambaUnixIdPooldn="cn=NextFreeUnixId,${suffix}"
2004-04-07:
. patch from Emmanuel Lacour <elacour@home-dn.net> :
no more use of mkntpwd, use of Crypt::SmbHash perl module instead
2004-04-04:
. patchs from Alexander Bergolth <leo@strike.wu-wien.ac.at> :
. variable substitution to the config-file parser.
This new feature allows configurations like that
> suffix="dc=idealx,dc=com"
> usersdn="ou=Users,${suffix}"
Username substitution is done via %U:
> userHome="/home/%U"
==> smbldap.conf file can now use the samba %U definition
. change in smbldap-userdel refuses deleting a home directory that doesn't contain
the username, more precisely that doesn't look like /^\/.+\/(.*)$user/
This avoids deleting-disasters when the homeDirectory attribute is
erroneous set to a wrong value like "/" or "/home".
. adds mail-forwarding and mail-alias capabilities (for use by MTAs like sendmail or
postfix). Two new options "-M" and "-T" allow specifying mail-aliases and mail-forward
addresses in smbldap-useradd and smbldap-usermod. If those options are used, the
objectclass "inetLocalMailRecipient" is used
. patch to allows adding new mail-aliases (-M), mail-forward addresses (-T) or
supplementary groups (-G) without overwriting the existing ones using a syntax like
smbldap-usermod -G +wheel testuser
Removing only the specified attributes without deleting all of them works the same way
using a syntax like
smbldap-usermod -G -wheel testuser
. patch that fixes a small problem when using userHomeDrive without the ":" symbol
. test if a user is unique in get_homedir function. Replace the regular expression that check
the homeDirectory attribute's value with the exact query response.
2004-03-05:
. add the displayName attribut when using 'smbldap-groupadd -a'
. update smbldap-populate (set the username for the guest account and the
administrative account in sambaProfilePath instead of $adminName and $guestName)
2004-03-01:
. update smbldap-populate to allow setting userHomeDrive="" in configuration file
2004-02-22:
. it is now possible to delete the following entries with smbldap-usermod :
sambaHomePath (option -C), sambaHomeDrive (option -D)
sambaLogonScript (option -E) and sambaProfilePath (option -F)
ex: smbldap-usermod -C "" user
. update documentation
2004-02-07: new tag v0-8-4
