Samba 4.0 contains rewrites of several subsystems +and uses a different internal format for most data. Since this +file is an initial draft, please update missing items. + +One of the main goals of Samba 4 was Active Directory Domain Controller +support. This means Samba now implements several protocols that are required +by AD such as Kerberos and DNS. + +An (experimental) upgrade script that performs a one-way upgrade +from Samba 3 is available in source/setup/upgrade. + +Removal of nmbd and introduction of process models +================================================== +smbd now implements several network protocols other than just CIFS and +DCE/RPC. nmbd's functionality has been merged into smbd. smbd supports +various 'process models' that specify how concurrent connections are +handled (when to fork, use threads, etc). + +Introduction of LDB +=================== +Samba now stores most of its persistent data in a LDAP-like database +called LDB (see ldb(7) for more info). + +Removed SWAT +================== +Unlike previous versions, Samba4 does not provide a web interface at this time. + +Built-in KDC +============ +Samba4 ships with an integrated KDC (Kerberos Key Distribution +Center). Backed directly onto our main internal database, and +integrated with custom code to handle the PAC, Samba4's KDC is an +integral part of our support for AD logon protocols. + +Built-in LDAP Server +==================== +Like the situation with the KDC, Samba4 ships with it's own LDAP +server, included to provide simple, built-in LDAP services in an AD +(rather than distinctly standards) matching manner. The database is +LDB, and it shares that in common with the rest of Samba. + +Changed configuration options +============================= +Several configuration options have been removed in Samba4 while others have +been introduced. This section contains a summary of changes to smb.conf and +where these settings moved. Configuration options that have disappeared may be +re-added later when the functionality that uses them gets reimplemented in +Samba 4. + +The 'security' parameter has been split up. It is now only used to choose +between the 'user' and 'share' security levels (the latter is not supported +in Samba 4 yet). The other values of this option and the 'domain master' and +'domain logons' parameters have been merged into a 'server role' parameter +that can be either 'domain controller', 'member server' or 'standalone'. Note that +member server support does not work yet. + +The following parameters have been removed: +- passdb backend: accounts are now stored in a LDB-based SAM database, + see 'sam database' below.
