Steve, Attempting to run Franky at this point will give you more, not less pain. There isn't some magic solution that we are hiding from you. We are working to allow smbd to become the default file server in Samba 4.0, and have added the --use-s3fs option to provision to allow early adopters to test it for us. However, we do not recommend it at this stage, as in particular it fails to correctly set ACLs for group policy objects. This is the last issue we hope that is blocking us changing, but in the meantime switching to 'Franky' won't solve these issues as they are common to any use of smbd in a Samba4 AD DC. If you do, you will instead bring up other issues that we have spent the time since the Franky proposal was made correcting or working around (such as not using the correct authentication plugins, needing to manually forward the correct pipes etc).
