[Freeipa-devel] using with samba

[William Baker]

My question was about both, though vague.  For samba 3.2, the objective 
would be NT4 domain controller, and for samba 4.0 the objective would be 
AD domain controller.

I've since narrowed my objective to AD domain controller.  I've been 
following the mail list, but haven't been able to characterize the 
magnitude of changes going into 4.0 or its usability.  I was hoping to 
see another alpha release to use as a starting point.  I think I'm just 
going to have to dive into the git repository and see what happens.

I haven't done anything on it yet, but I know where to start.  With any 
luck, I'll start putting the pieces together later this week.
