Samba4 Development

This wiki page will be used to track the integration effort of Samba 4 into SME 9+

G.Zartman Note: At this point, I'm just going to randomly ramble on this wiki page as I work on Samba 4. Once I get some workable pieces, I'll go back and format this page so that it makes more sense.

smb.conf considerations:

Server Services: This parameter is not very well documented, but from what I could find thefollow services can be provided by the Samba daemon: s3fs, rpc, nbt, wrepl, ldap, cldap, kdc, drepl, ntp_signd, kcc, dnsupdate, dns, smb, nmb, winbind. The default for this parameter is: server services = s3fs rpc nbt wrepl ldap cldap kdc drepl winbind ntp_signd kcc dnsupdate dns. Services can be added/remove from the default by a +/- and the service to add/remove. Example server services = -s3fs (remove) +smb (add). Note that the smb, nmb, and windbind services are services equivalent to the older, Samba 3, type services (stand alone daemons). Of specific interest to SME 9 may be the use of the nmb service for WINS support. As we begin testing we may need to enable this service and possibly smb for simple share access.
