[Samba] Developmen state Samba as ADDC?

2013-05-25 Thread Ulrich Schneider

Hi everybody,

I read about the development state ... samba as an ad domain controller 
and that many functions / group policies have been implemented. Still, 
there is some work in progress.


Is there a documentation where I can look up the functions not 
implemented yet?

Not sure about documentation -- is there a particular feature you're
looking for?


I've been running Samba4 as an AD DC for a few months now with ~20
Windows 8 clients  users.

Minus one big issue (crashing bug 9822 which was patched quickly),
it's been incredibly stable and easy to use.

Samba4 is running with mapped home directories  lots of group
policies, perfectly fine.



The only issues I have are relatively minor. They're:

* A few rare crashes in smbd, which I see every week or two.
 ** https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9853
 ** https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9873
 Though these sound bad, they just crash one thread. The clients seem
to work fine (worst case, one client will stall during a user logon,
but is fine after restarting the client).

* DNS updates w/ DHCP-assigned IPs don't work:
 ** https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9559
 Looks like this is being worked on now.

* Winbind crashes a lot:
 ** Repeatable crashes with ls -lha:
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9820
 ** Repeatable crashes with getfacl:
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9842

* Samba has a few random errors in the log, which I'm not sure how to interpret
 ** Failed to modify SPNs: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9848

All those issues are pretty rare or minor.

Samba4 has been working great as an AD DC! Plus, the dev team is super
responsive if you have a real, significant bug.

Sure, hope my smb.conf is helpful:


[global]

 netbios name = SERVERNAME
server role = active directory domain controller
dns forwarder = 192.168.0.1
 guest account = nobody
load printers = no
printing = bsd
 printcap name = /dev/null
disable spoolss = yes
panic action = /bin/sleep 
 [netlogon]
path = /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol/corp.example.com/scripts
 read only = No

[sysvol]
path = /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol
read only = No

[homes]
path = /home/CORP
read only = No
browseable = No

[dropbox]
path = /srv/samba/dropbox
 read only = No
browseable = Yes
create mask = 664
 directory mask = 775
guest ok = Yes
