You don't need to change your priorities: as I found out yesterday night samba-4.x is not yet ready to provide AD-DC services on gentoo. I found out while researching another issue related to smbclient and german umlauts (popping up when I run backups with amanda). I wrote to the samba- and the amanda-users-ml, and bgo: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=593486 tl;dr :: * samba in portage is quite old, 4.2.x is EOL upstream (4.6.rc1 released already upstream) * samba in portage does not yet provide the bundled heimdal version that upstream samba works with (in terms of AD-DC services, other stuff works with mit-krb5 as well). * there's a test ebuild which uses that internal heimdal-version, see Comment 9 in the mentioned bug. But to me that is too unstable and risky to move a whole Windows domain to already.
