The release of Samba 4.18.0 has been announced, continuing the development of the Samba 4 branch with a full implementation of the domain controller and Active Directory service, compatible with the Windows 2008 implementation and capable of servicing all supported Microsoft versions of Windows clients, including Windows 11. Samba 4 is a multifunctional server product that also provides a file server, print service, and identification server (winbind). <\/p>\n
Key changes in Samba 4.18: <\/p>\n
\n
Work has continued on eliminating regressions in the performance of overloaded SMB servers, which arose from the addition of protection against vulnerabilities that manipulate symbolic links. In addition to the efforts made in the previous release to reduce system calls when checking directory names and to stop using wakeup events when handling competing operations, version 4.18 has reduced the overhead of processing locks for competing file path operations by approximately three times. Consequently, the performance of file opening and closing operations has been brought back to the level of Samba 4.12.\n
The samba-tool utility features more concise and accurate error messages. Instead of providing a stack trace with the specific location in the code where the issue occurred, which didn\u2019t always clarify the problem, the new version limits the output to a description of the error's cause (for instance, incorrect username or password, invalid LDB database file name, missing name in DNS, network unavailability, incorrect command-line arguments, etc.). In cases of unrecognized issues, the full Python stack trace continues to be displayed, which can also be obtained by specifying the '-d3' option. This information may be necessary for troubleshooting the problem online or for inclusion in submitted error notifications.\n
All samba-tool commands now support the option \u2018--color=yes|no|auto\u2019 to manage output highlighting. In \u2018--color=auto\u2019 mode, color highlighting is used only for terminal output. Instead of \u2018yes,\u2019 the values \u2018always\u2019 and \u2018force\u2019 are permitted; instead of \u2018no\u2019 \u2014 \u2018never\u2019 and \u2018none\u2019; instead of \u2018auto\u2019 \u2014 \u2018tty\u2019 and \u2018if-tty.\u2019\n
Support for the NO_COLOR environment variable has been added to disable output highlighting in situations where ANSI color codes are used or the \u2018--color=auto\u2019 mode is active.\n
A new command \u2018dsacl delete\u2019 has been added to samba-tool for removing entries from access control lists (ACE, Access Control Entry).\n
