Samba is a free
software re-implementation of the SMB/CIFS networking protocol. Samba version 4
has been released. It is a major rewrite that enables Samba to be an Active
Directory domain controller. I have been waiting years for this option.
From the release note:
From the release note:
Samba 4.0 supports the
server-side of the Active Directory logon environment used by Windows 2000 and
later, so we can do full domain join and domain logon operations with these clients.
Our Domain Controller (DC) implementation
includes our own built-in LDAP
server and Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) as well as the Samba3-like
logon services provided over CIFS. We correctly generate the infamous Kerberos
PAC, and include it with the Kerberos tickets we issue.
When running an Active Directory Domain Controller, you only need to run
'samba' (not smbd/nmbd/winbindd), as the required services are co-coordinated
by this master binary. The tool to administer the Active Directory services is
called 'samba-tool'.
