samba - Oct 2013 - using samba 4 as plugin replacement for samba 3

Hi,

when I don't want to switch to Active Directory, but don't want to be 
stuck on version 3.6 either, can I simply give samba 4 a copy of the old 
smb.conf file?

Will it be able to store all windows acl's in extended attributes, or is 
this improvement only available in combination with letting it run as 
active directory domain controller?

thanks,
Klaus

Klaus,

? ?Good luck.

It should be easy, but considering the state of documentation (re your
"Please update documentation" message: I totaly agree, btw) it might
only sound easy.

As an idea, I spent a whole morning trying to get samba 4.0.10 to share a single
directory. After pulling my hair, at last I was running smbd in debug console;
after seeing?
Abnormal server exit: smbXsrv_session_logoff_all failed?
and
dumping core in /usr/local/samba/var/cores/smbd

I finally decided to sudo apt-get install samba.

Guess what? in 2 minutes the file share was working right and the client (an IP
camera) immediately connected and stoped complaining.

Yes.

You can load acl_xattr as a vfs module without being an AD DC, it's just
on by default in that case.

THIS WILL NOT WORK:  can I simply give samba 4 a copy of the old smb.conf
file?

Hi,

when I don't want to switch to Active Directory, but don't want to be
stuck
on version 3.6 either, can I simply give samba 4 a copy of the old smb.conf
file?

Will it be able to store all windows acl's in extended attributes, or is
