Yesterday I hit samba bug id 11538 at a customer. https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11538
We still run stable samba-3.6.25 on gentoo there, with a basic NT4-style domain. Simple use case, just users/passwords, no logon scripts, no server based profiles ... Now I consider upgrading to samba-4.2.9 (~amd64) to maybe get around that bug and in general improve support and compatibility with more recent versions of MS Windows (first w10 clients coming up ...). Does anyone in here has done that, how clever is it to stay with NT4-domain in combo with samba-4.x ? I just want to keep the steps small, I understand that an AD-based domain will be the way sooner or later. Any stability or performance issues with samba-4.2.9 in gentoo? Thanks for any feedback on this, Stefan
