in Samba4. This allows us to start winbindd by default, including in 'make test'. This is via a new 'winbindd socket directory' parameter for utilities linked against loadparm, as well as a --with-winbindd-socket-dir option to configure (setting the default and the value for simple clients). I hope to add basic winbindd tests, to ensure continued correct operation, but at least now I don't have to manually change my 'server services' line. The other problem with the hard-coded /tmp/.winbind is that RedHat has moved this in Fedora (to /var/run I think). For this reason, this functionality should probably be ported to Samba3 as well. The default for Samba4 is PREFIX/var/run/winbind_pipe. I have also re-added the paranoia checks from Samba3 for correct permissions on the socket directory. Andrew Bartlett
Samba 4 is the ambitious next version of the Samba suite that is being developed in parallel to the stable 3.0 series. The main emphasis in this branch is full support for being a Active Directory domain controller. Samba 4 is currently not yet in a state where it is usable in production environments. The STATUS file aims to document what should and should not work. Those familiar with Samba 3 can find a list of user-visible changes since that release series in the NEWS file. A short guide to setting up Samba 4 can be found in the howto.txt file in this directory. Bugs can be filed at https://bugzilla.samba.org/. Please look at the STATUS file before filing a bug to see if a particular is supposed to work yet. Development and general discussion about Samba 4 happens mainly on the #samba-technical IRC channel (on irc.freenode.net) and the samba-technical mailing list (see http://lists.samba.org/ for details).
