Obnoxious, is when someone thinks there is a requirement to give away
binary rpms to a non-paying customer!!

Please get your facts straight!!

Having said that, if you do not need Samba AD support there are newer samba
rpms available for FREE with Centos. if you need something newer than
4.2.10 on c-6 or 4.4.4 on c-7 or you need Samba AD support, I would suggest you
download the src tarball from 
https://download.samba.org/pub/samba/stable/samba-4.6.6.tar.gz
and build it yourself. It is trivial to build provided you follow the
instructions @ https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Build_Samba_from_Source.

https://wiki.samba.org provides a wealth of information for configuring samba 4

In addition, if you have problems the people on the samba mailing
go out of their way to help troubleshoot problems.

HTH,

Thank you, I should have been more specific, I was actually looking for the 
newer versions at <
http://www.sernet.de/en/samba>  referenced in the wiki about additional 
repositories at 
.  The 
sernet site was easy to navigate in English before, but i can't make heads or 
tails of it now.  i should also mention that i'm currently using centos 6.6 
"FINAL".  will be updating soon.

Not sure for what kind of information you are looking.

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/System_Administrators_Guide/ch-File_and_Print_Servers.html#s1-Samba

Samba is shipped by CentOS. It just does not provide Active Directory 
functionality.

[CentOS] where is samba?

[mad.scientist.at.large]

Can I ask where people are downloading samba from?  I followed the instructions 
in the centos wiki but it's hard to tell what to do next on the German site.  
It was easy before but totally murky now (at least to this wetware).  a link or 
two or clearer/more complete instructions  would be greatly appreciated.
