The current releases of SME Server do not support Samba server roles directly.  Modification of several core SME Server packages is required to support Samba server roles, therefore it is not possible to provide advanced Samba functions with a typical contrib RPM. 
+
The current releases of SME Server do not support Samba server roles directly, but updated packages have been developed and are in the testing repos.  It is just a matter of installing them.   
 
  −
An effort to update the necessary core SME Server packages is being tracked in the following SME Server bug report:
  −
[[bugzilla:4172]].
  −
 
  −
It is the maintainers opinion that these changes will ultimately be included in the core SME Server packages. When this occurs, it is very likely that this section of this contrib will be removed.
  −
 
  −
Until these changes are incorporated into the core packages, patched versions of the current release SME Server packages will be provided as part of this contrib.  It is necessary that users install these "patched" core packages to take advantage of Samba server roles.  '''Every''' effort is made to provide this additional functionality without changing standard SME Server functionality. In other words, the patched core SME Server packages will not change the way SME Server currently functions -- the modified core packages simply provide the additional server role functionality.
