I'll update the book to the latest 3.6.x version and then change the title of this ticket to Samba-4.0.0.

comment:7 by Armin K, 11 years ago

Tried to build it on LFS 7.2/7.3

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/tirpc" CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/tirpc" LDFLAGS="-ltirpc" ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-fhs --with-pammodulesdir=/lib/security --enable-nss-wrapper

It builds, it provides most of the client libraries and server/client binaries Samba3 does. I haven't tried to build anything against it. ABI appears to be unchanged - soname wasn't bumped for libsmbclient and libwbclient which are mostly used client libraries. I haven't tried to builld anything against such libraries. I'll try it at next system rebuild.

Summary: Samba-4.0.2Samba-4.0.3

Cool stuff, thanks Krejzi! Beside checking which command do work well I think it's some kind of challenge to write the text for Samba4 as it is now a AD-DC. If building a non-DC, it is not really different from what we have in Samba3 but as AD controller, there is a huge stuff to describe, at least to mention. That is the Kerberos tickets, the DNS database, the LDAP tree and the file server functionality and how that all works together. ATM, AFAIK there are no GUI maintenance programs like the Windows(R) "AD Users & Computers". I think maintaining an AD on the command line may be a bit complicated and i think we should have some sentences about it. Discovering and documenting that all seems to me not quite easy as some Windows clients should be available for testing as well as some with Linux on it. Some features (as Group-Policies or so) make sense only if there are at least a view clients in the domain (which can be VMs too). Btw, for AD support, i think at least --with-ads should be added.

Probably we create a page similar to the samba3 page with samba4, describing how to build a file server with samba4. Than add a page which goes beyond that describing what different to do to get a AD-DC. Maybe this split in more pages would keep each of them more maintainable and less complex.

What are you opinions?

(btw, 4.0.3 is out)

I've created wiki page (http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/samba4) and typed in some rough infos on Samba4 so far.

I'd like to invite you to modify and to complete that page. Maybe the result could be starting point for creating the real Samba4 page (and modifying others for Samba4 purpose).

A bit too much for the book IMO, however, that is where the wiki shines. For the book, just a base install as a standalone file and print server, everything else in the wiki (which is linked from the book).

ArchLinux has already upgraded to Samba4 ... It appears to be fully compatible with Samba3. I only noticed one KDE package needed to point to new samba include directory.

Updated to samba-4.0.7 in revision 11419. It may need some tweaking in the configuration so I'm going to leave open for a while.
