I was trying to get Samba4 [as a DC] setup on Ubuntu 18.04 However, I'm having quite a lot of difficulty. Has anyone successfully setup a samba4/adc on Ububtu 18.04 - and if so, have a quick walk-through. It would save me a lot of time, I expect. [Yeah, I know 18.04 has been out all of a week, but someone has to go first!] TIA -Greg
Hai, Its not 100% ubuntu, but these should work also on ubuntu. https://github.com/thctlo/samba4/tree/master/howtos Read them as the are numbered, that should give you a quick good setup. Depending on you setup you might want to change the backend to RID. I preffer AD.

Or do you mean a 'Has anybody joined a Samba DC on Ubuntu 18.04' ? If so, then yes and it was hell Rowland
A sort of digest reply... RPvs> Not sure, what is a samba4/adc ??? RPvs> Or do you mean a 'Has anybody joined a Samba DC on Ubuntu 18.04' ? Yes, doing an active directory controller [ADC] not just a workgroup-share. [Though, not "joining" a DC already in existance, but creating a new AD setup.] RPvs> If so, then yes and it was hell What exactly was hellish about it? Is it your opinion I should use something else, compile from source, or what? Did you get it to work satisfactorily eventually? [I know you're a long-time list contributor, so I'm very interested in your thoughts.] --->What do you need, yes i have compiled a whole samba ad dc structur with 18.04.I have compiled Samba4 on Ubuntu from source before, but I'd really like to avoid doing that. It seems like a reasonable trade-off to sacrifice some lack of features [using an older version] for having Ubuntu maintain security patches etc. On that note, I'm not totally wed to Ubuntu/Debian. Is there some LTS [long-term-support] distro that's dramatically better? --->Its not 100% ubuntu, but these should work also on ubuntu. https://github.com/thctlo/samba4/tree/master/howtosThanks. I'll look at that. I'm not sure how much help it's going to be, as there are some, it appears, significant differences between Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04. Thus, a how-to that isn't specific to 18.04 may not be that useful, as it will not have the detail needed to avoid the pitfalls of 18.04. And while I can probably work through all the new oddities, I was hoping that someone else would have already done so and would be willing to share. Thanks all for the initial tips. -Greg
