[Sheflug] Samba 4.0 Released

[Richard Ibbotson <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Samba 4.0 released..

"  The First Free Software Active Directory Compatible Server
As the culmination of ten years' work, the Samba Team has created the 
first compatible Free Software implementation of Microsoftâs Active 
Directory protocols. Familiar to all network administrators, the 
Active Directory protocols are the heart of modern directory service 
implementations.  Samba 4.0 comprises an LDAP directory server, 
Heimdal Kerberos authentication server, a secure Dynamic DNS server, 
and implementations of all necessary remote procedure calls for Active 
Directory. Samba 4.0 provides everything needed to serve as an Active 
Directory Compatible Domain Controller for all versions of Microsoft 
Windows clients currently supported by Microsoft, including the 
recently released Windows 8.  The Samba 4.0 Active Directory 
Compatible Server provides support for features such as Group Policy, 
Roaming Profiles, Windows Administration tools and integrates with 
Microsoft Exchange and Free Software compatible services such 
as OpenChange.  "

I've used all previous versions of Samba myself.  Wonderful stuff.  If 
only it had been around back in 1995.
