OK I am a 2.2.8a/LDAP user and have thus far been very skeptical about making the switch to Samba3. I have seen inconclusive evidence of Beta 3's success rate from the postings since its release. So my question is... Has anybody been able to get Samba3b3 to act as complete replacement for their Windows or Samba2.2.8a PDC? How about with an LDAP backend? Is it stable and bug-free enough for a mission-critical production environment? I've already set my sights on waiting for a final release candidate before switching; however your feedback might convince me otherwise. -- Scott
Well I've got my LDAP setup correct as far as I can tell and I'm still gettting errors @ loglevel 4. Also I think that they are still working on updateing the IDEALX Perl scripts for manageing the userbase.>OK I am a 2.2.8a/LDAP user and have thus far been very skeptical about >making the switch to Samba3.

I'm currently migrating a bunch of stinking NT4 boxes (domain controllers and member servers) to Red Hat Linux 9 and Samba 3 beta 3. Right now, everything is working as expected, but we're still at the testing stage.
