The good news is that Samba 4's CIFS/SMB implementation is little
changed from Samba 3.  Just incrementing the version is good enough.

All other Samba 4 features are debated, and even disabled in some
cases -- e.g., Domain Controller (DC) emulation on some distributions.
Some are implementing it in another way, ironically one (IPA) is one
that Microsoft actually likes.

E.g., segmentation of IPA (POSIX) from AD (Windows) forests, with
trusts between, Samba using POSIX groups for ACLs, which are populated
with external Windows Security Groups (from the AD Domains), and
vice-versa -- Windows Domain Logical Groups (DLG) for ACLs on Windows
servers/resources, populated with POSIX groups (from the IPA Domains).

I've gone back and forth on this, but I think any coverage of the
Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT) needs to be very limited to
identification and, at most, understanding.  E.g,. in the case of the
latter, knowing SWAT doesn't write out lines for defaults, etc... is
the most knowledge I'd attempt to cover.
