You can use any version of Samba for any reason as long as it's
useful to you, that's why it's Free Software !

I'd suggest to keep up with the latest releases though if you
can, as they have the latest security fixes.

Jeremy.

I'm not part of the team but I have been using Samba for many years. My 
experience is the upgrade from 2.2 to 3.0 will likely be quite smooth. I 
highly recommend doing it. I believe, and someone on the team should be 
able to verify this, that you can keep 2.2.x member servers in a 3.0 
domain, if that helps with your migration.


I would assume that your technology upgrade likely includes new servers 
and new operating systems. If so, the new operating system probably 
comes with a version of Samba that you should use. Your OS vendor will 
be providing security updates to the version they ship. Again, this is 
almost certainly a 3.0.x version.

Hi,
 
 ok i was told by my teacher that the newer version of samba i.e. version 3 will be a 
perfect clone of  active directory and it will have all the features that active 
directory domains have.
 
so tell me if this is true. can a samba version 3 server act like a ACTIVE directory 
based windows domain controller?
 
and also if u can tell me that the domain policies defined by a windows active 
directory domain controller will remain undisturbed if it is replaced by a samba 
server.
 
like if i was restricted from accessing the networl folder of one of my teacher which 
contains the question paper for  tomorrow exam , will i still be unable to access it 
or the permissions will go crazy and i would be able to access it.
 
plz inform me more about how the concept of a active directory domain and permissions 
have been incorporated or not incorporated into the new version of samba
 
waiting for ur replies

Samba 3.0.1 + OpenLDAP can emulate many if not all of the functionality
of ADS. Permissions and ACLs definitly work, but may take some research
getting used to.
Please see the Samba HOWTO, which is very detailed:

Hiya,
 
Me thinks your teacher was telly porkies. Samba 3 can not act as an Active Directory. 
You can do some policies but this has to be done though an NT 4 syle policy file. ACL 
will work aslong as the underlying filesystem can support them.
 
If you want to find out how samba works, I suggest you buy a book or look at the 
Samba-HOWTO.
 
Cheers
