If you don't need to emulate Active Directory, then you should probably just stick with the Samba 3.x series. Samba 3 emulates NT-style domain membership and for simply single-password/login infrastructure it should be sufficient. Samba 4 is a bit more ambition that that. Hopefully/Perhaps one day it will support LDAP back-ends more readily, but considering it's still in beta (alpha?), I'd guess such functionality is barely on the TODO list (assuming it's even technically possible). -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
