It's not a trivial upgrade. I've been publishing SRPM components for building backports to RHEL 6, based on the Fedora release of Samba 4.0.5, at https://github.com/nkadel/samba-4.0.5-srpm/. The integration of full-blown domain controller features, for example, is a build-time option that is disabled by default for the Fedora and my SRPM, and there are significant incompatibilities between smb.conf configuration options between Samba 3.x and Samba 4.x. Simply upgrading in place is likely to create some real adventures in configuration integration. I'd recommend yanking a complete backup, especialliy of Samba 3.x configurations, and especially using "testparm -v" to collect the existing settings. Then do a clean re-installation and use "testparm -v" to review the configuration changes. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
