Hi, Rowland

Quick start:

Soon I will change the entire documentation to English.

OK, as you do not seem to want to answer my questions, I will speak
bluntly:

You are tying your users into compiling Samba themselves, even though
there are perfectly good Debian packages available. Your project is
more likely to be used if it could be used with any installed Samba AD
DC.

At the moment, it will not work with an already installed and
provisioned Samba AD DC, I get this:

./go_samba4 --server-prod --ssl
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "go_samba4.py", line 30, in <module>
  File
"/tmp/pip-build-hPjfl7/pyinstaller/PyInstaller/loader/pyimod03_importers.py",
line 396, in load_module
  File "app/__init__.py", line 31, in <module>
  File

line 396, in load_module
  File "app/model/auth/auth_base.py", line 7, in <module>
ImportError: No module named samba
[21535] Failed to execute script go_samba4

I think I know what the problem is, but I cannot even attempt to try
and fix it, because 'go_samba4' is a binary BLOB

I am sorry, but I cannot recommend any opensource project if it relies
on a binary BLOB, especially one that is 30.2 MB in size.

I still think 'go-samba4' is a pretty poor name, especially as it
doesn't seem to be written in 'go' any more, also what are you going
to
do when Samba hits version 5 ?

That's easy, it does not exist, but, I do have
'/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages' and in that dir there is another dir
called 'samba'

BAD IDEA, just tell people what to install.

Yes, I understand this, but better to start right in the first
place ;-)
If people cannot read your code, they cannot point out errors or
supply better ways of doing things, it falls on you and that way
usually leads to failure.

I wouldn't bother with 'go', I would stick with python, it must be
easier to link your python to our python in the 'samba' libs.

Unless you can provide me with python code for the 'go_samba4' blob, I
do not think I will bother, I like to see the code I am running, even
if I don't fully understand it ;-)
