Hi all, I've been wondering about the separate Dc and fileserver setup (and the 2 winbinds) too.
In my current setup (samba3/openLDAP) all my fileservers are DCs because then I don't have to worry about idmaps and winbind at all. This DC/fileserver samba4 separation can't be the recommended setup purely because the DCs don't do network browsing, surely. In my environment (a school) a browseable network neighbourhood is trouble and disabled for everyone. Except me. Am I right in thinking that a Samba3 fileserver is recommended because its more tried and tested at fileserving, and separating out the DC'ing onto a samba4 box just separates everything nicely and avoids complications? Or does a samba4 DC also acting as a fileserver have limitations of some kind? cheers Jim On 12 March 2013 09:43, Rowland Penny <rpe...@f2s.com> wrote: > On 12/03/13 00:02, Gerry Reno wrote: > >> On 03/11/2013 06:34 PM, Andrew Bartlett wrote: >> >>> On Tue, 2013-03-12 at 01:30 +0800, d tbsky wrote: >>> >>>> hi: >>>> I want to setup a small samba4 server with AD and file server >>>> function. >>>> I know that samba4 AD DC has no netbios browsing support. are there >>>> other >>>> missing functions, like winbindd or something else? >>>> >>> The next release will include this patch, which avoids mistakenly >>> creating world-writeable files in additional file shares. >>> >>> and if I install two samba4 instance, one to "/usr/local/samba"(for >>>> file >>>> server), one to "/usr/local/samba-ad"(for AD DC). and give them two >>>> seprate >>>> ip to bind. will it work better? >>>> >>> No, it would need to be a different virtual machine (you can only have >>> one winbind per machine, and the different winbind is most important >>> difference between the operating modes). >>> >>> Andrew Bartlett >>> >>> >>> Are you saying that it is not possible to use a Samba 4 AD DC as a file >> server? >> >> >> > You can create shares on samba4 and connect to them from the cli, via > smbclient for instance, you just cannot browse to them. > The accepted practice seems to be, set up Samba 4 for authorisation and > then set up a separate Samba3 fileserver. > > Rowland > > > -- > This message has been scanned for viruses and > dangerous content by MailScanner, and is > believed to be clean. > > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the > instructions: > https://lists.samba.org/**mailman/options/samba<https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba> > -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
