Samba 4 support

[Robert Moskowitz]

I was asking about Samba 4 on the Samba list and got the following 
response about Fedora and Samba4:

"If you look thru previous posts to this forum you will see that Samba 4 
uses Heimdal Kerberos libraries , while Fedora uses MIT kerberos 
libraries, so you need to recompile Samba 4 from scratch will all the 
appropriate dependencies.  I have not done this. Samba 4 as an AD DC  
includes its own LDAP server."

So what is the story?  Does Fedora work for a Samba AD?

Though, at this point, I am looking very strongly at staying with an 
NTDomain setup.  I am getting strong recommendations for AD being a 
separate system from the file server, and I only want one system.

I have used Samba4 with an AD network.  Not that much due to the way our 
network is managed.

So is your AD controller Samba4 or Win?  And what OS is your Samba4?

thanks

It is win.

I was using Samba 4 on Fedora 20 where I work.

It is a Windows domain controller.

We don't have any browsing enabled and have to have full links to 
utilize it.  Workstation sharing is disabled.  Only allocated shares are 
available.

My samba gui is smb4k for kde.

As I said, I have not used it much as I don't need that much network 
sharing.

As others have mentioned, not presently.

thanks T.C.

I have too many other things on my plate for the next 4 months.  I will 
need to monitor this, but concentrate on other important tasks for now.

Looks lime NTDomain for now...

But sure is tempting!
