Hallo, Simon (and Andrew),
Du meintest am 08.02.11:
in the samba mailinglist there was a remark that samba 4 is designed
only for the BIND nameserver; look escpecially at
http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2011-February/160848.html
I know that most programmers work in their "free" time (me too). But
I don't like working with the ISC DNS, and I'd like working with
"dnsmasq" under samba 4 too.
My understanding of the situation is that full integration with AD
requires support for dynamic DNS and the ability to update DNS zones
with a fair variety of esoteric record types. To provide that sort of
facility in dnsmasq would require re-writing and generalising a lot
of code.

But what about people who want to use Samba without ADS, perhaps far
away from a Windows environment? It's more simple to configure, it
doesn't need specially trained operators.
What about "Samba 4 light for SOHO"?
I prefer using cifs instead of nfs, p.e., even in a LAN only with Linux
clients. And there's no need for an ADS. There's no need for a DNS
monster like ISC bind.
Well in this case you can use the file server part only it's better for
the moment to use the 3.x branch (current 3.5.7 and 3.6 is coming). When
Samba 4.0 will be released you will still be able to provision a domain
member or a standalone server and in this case bind won't be needed !
