Hello:
Recently I have tried Samba AD DC (Samba4), because I want migrate our
Samba 3 installation to Samba AD DC (Samba4). My tests were
successfully, I could migrate a copy o f my samba 3 installation.
Now I want to migrate my real installation to Samba4 but my question is
about packaging. For now there is not a v4.0 stable Samba package in
Debian Wheezy, and I don't want install a rc version.
I can compile and install Samba 4 in Debian, but what about a future
migration to official and stable packages provided by Debian? How
painfull would it be such a migration?
Can someone confirm what archives does contain the essential domain data
(Kerberos, LDAP, DNS, etc) to migrate in the future to a packaged Samba
AD DC?
The essential data to the DC is all in the private directory, and the
smb.conf is in etc. The sysvol share (pointed at in smb.conf) is also
critical, and you should ensure you maintain xattrs when you move that
around.
Finally, the files in 'lock' should be moved to the Samba state
directory of your eventual debian install.
I agree that the situation around official packages in all the
distributions is frustrating, and I hope we can get a cleaner solution
soon.
