If you are using it for anything other -than education you are insane, or perhaps just very interested. +Samba4 alpha4 is not a final Samba release. That is more a reference +to Samba4's lack of the features we expect you will need than a +statement of code quality, but clearly it hasn't seen a broad +deployment yet. If you were to upgrade Samba3 (or indeed Windows) to +Samba4, you would find many things work, but that other key features +you may have relied on simply are not there yet. + +For example, while Samba 3.0 is an excellent member of a Active +Directory domain, Samba4 is happier as a domain controller, and it is +in this role where it has seen deployment into production. + +Samba4 is subjected to an awesome battery of tests on an +automated basis, we have found Samba4 to be very stable in it's +behaviour. We have to recommend against upgrading production servers +from Samba 3 to Samba 4 at this stage, because there may be the features on +which you may rely that are not present, or the mapping of +your configuration and user database may not be complete. + +If you are upgrading, or looking to develop, test or deploy Samba4, you should +backup all configuration and data. We welcome your testing, please file bug reports at https://bugzilla.samba.org/, product: Samba4. Please include as much |
