I have a LAN of linux and win7 clients currently with Samba 3.6 and
LDAP. Linux users authenticate against LDAP and are placed in their
nfs'd /home folder. The same user can also logon to windows. His roaming

How do I transfer my current Linux/Samba 3/LDAP users over to
Linux/Samba 4?


Samba4's winbind does not support RFC2307,  so doing this is pretty
rough.  I think you need to either use CIFS + winbind everywhere or
somehow maintain an external idmap.

Yea, it is horrible.  We are staring down the barrell of the same gun.


I don't believe it. So with samba 4, we are back to having to have two
separate accounts and two passwords. AgghhH!!!

So, after all this, I've now found out that Samba 4 only caters for windows
clients; it does not provide the single sign on that samba3/LDAP offers.

That can't be true can it?

Any ideas anyone?

Bear in mind that Samba 4 is still alpha.  There has not been a
production release yet.

As Jeremy said, they are discussing what needs to be done before
releasing Samba 4.0.0 and how to reconcile Samba 3's winbind and Samba
4's winbind etc., so if something that is critical for you does not
currently work, you should file a bug report.

Yep. I realise the 'alphaness' of Samba 4 but I think I am not alone with my issue. I think I should be easy to fix now before it goes beta.
