Over the summer 2008 I've improved and fixed up the registry backend of SAMBA 4. Here a short overview of what I did:

GIT repository: git://repo.or.cz/Samba/mdw.git Branch: "v4-0-regClient" - [http://repo.or.cz/w/Samba/mdw.git?a=log;h=refs/heads/v4-0-regClient GITWEB]

Main issues:
* Major fixes in the RPC client (tries to be compatible with the Windows Registry client libs)
* Improvements and fixups in the patchfile library
* Some enhancements in "regshell"
* Fixup's in two torture tests related to the registry

Samba 4 Uninstallation and other improvements

I've completed also some work to fix up the uninstallation in SAMBA 4. So it should be possible to remove cleanly binaries, headers, libraries etc..

I haven't provided a repository for this, so I link to the bug: here

It comprehends:

  • Makefile: Fix up variable names and targets, add new uninstallation commands instead of the scripts
  • Conclusion: The installation scripts under "source/script" are needed as before, but the uninstallation ones aren't anymore.

Samba 4 Registry

Registry server

GIT repository: git://repo.or.cz/Samba/mdw.git Branch: "v4-0-regServer" - GITWEB

Main fixups:

  • Compatibility with Windows Registry Editor (regedit) - in my case Windows 2000 - and SAMBA 4 Registry client library
  • Support empty values of REG_SZ (string) type (LDB backend)
  • Introduce REG_BINARY type variables (LDB backend)
  • Introduce the default attribute (LDB backend)

Feedback

  • Maybe left to do: torture tests
