The netlogon processes are pre-forked when the prefork process model is selected for samba. +Offline domain backups +---------------------- + +The 'samba-tool domain backup' command has been extended with a new 'offline' +option. This safely creates a backup of the local DC's database directly from +disk. The main benefits of an offline backup are it's quicker, it stores more +database details (for forensic purposes), and the samba process does not have +to be running when the backup is made. Refer to the samba-tool help for more +details on using this command. + +Group membership statistics +--------------------------- + +A new 'samba-tool group stats' command has been added. This provides summary +information about how the users are spread across groups in your domain. +The 'samba-tool group list --verbose' command has also been updated to include +the number of users in each group. + REMOVED FEATURES ================ +samba_backup +------------ + +The samba_backup script has been removed. This has now been replaced by the +'samba-tool domain backup offline' command. smb.conf changes ================ -- cgit v1.2.1
