Revisiting this...
I notice there is both samba 3.5 and 4.0rc4 available.
My ClearOS server is running samba-3.6.22, and I have not updated it in
months, so I don't know what they are up to, but appearently this works
for me.
Centos6 (i386) provides samba-3.6.9, where as RSEL6 has samba-3.5.6;
both have the 4.0rc4.
so.....
Do I stay with Samba 3, but drop down to 3.5 or plead that this gets
updated?
Or do I give samba4 a shot?
I run an NT domain controller and only have XP clients right now. At
some point I am going to have to start supporting Win7, and don't know
what that will take. Will I be forced to move to AD?
I won't be doing much for a few weeks; no hurry, but I do want to do
this. I will save 2KWH/day by going with arm over intel.
It might be that going with samba4 will work for what I have now, and I
can experiment with what it will take to upgrade for Win7 support?
BTW, I looked over at sernet, but they do not have a Centos6 arm repo :)

I am running my home Windows server on ClearOS, with minimal apps.
Currently all 3 of my clients are XP, but I should be looking at Win7
replacements (though I could just do the POS setting change and stay
with XP for a number of years, given how little we do anything with
the Windows systems).
I have roaming profiles for XP. It works.
What I am thinking is that I SHOULD just be able to lift the samba
config files onto Redsleeve and have a working server without all of
the ClearOS tools. This should hold me for a couple years more (I
built the ClearOS server 2 years ago) until more things develop both
with MS and with arm Centos.
Advice?
The same samba configs you currently use should work just fine.
