I was able to unmask (systemctl unmask samba-ad-dc) and samba started.? wbinfo --ping-dc returns the new DC!? Also get correct groups and users with wbinfo -g, wbinfo -u! Now I hope I can finally get rid of that Server 2003 machine. Is anyone working on getting that patch into the Debian python package?>-- Bob Wooldridge EDM Incorporated

It will also have to get into Samba's git before it gets anywhere near Debian ;-) Rowland

Will look into raising a bug and getting something backported.
