Dear samba and samba-technical lists, The Samba Team is working towards getting a Version 4.0 released.
In oder to ease testing of the Active Directory features of Samba4, even for people who don't want to download and compile the source code, SerNet (http://www.sernet.de/) has created a software appliance based on current Samba master snapshots. The major purpose of this is to make it very easy to experiment with Samba4 for people who are thinking about using it in production soon. Note that this is not intended to be used in production. The appliance is offered as an install cd iso image. It consists of a basic Debian squeeze install with preeinstalled Samba 4 binaries and a couple of system customizations. After booting, the user is logged into a minimal graphical system and presented with an interactive dialog to configure a new Samba4 Active Directory domain. The iso image can be freely downloaded from http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba4-appliance/ All additions and customizations are under the GPL. The current version that has been released yesterday is based on Samba 4.0 Alpha 19. There is a README with more details: http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba4-appliance/README New versions will be announced on SerNet's samba newsletter (https://www.sernet.de/de/samba/newsletter/). We hope that someone will find it useful. :-) Cheers - Michael -- Michael Adam <[email protected]> SerNet GmbH, Bahnhofsallee 1b, 37081 Göttingen phone: +49-551-370000-0, fax: +49-551-370000-9 AG Göttingen, HRB 2816, GF: Dr. Johannes Loxen http://www.sernet.de, mailto:[email protected]
