thanks for nothing on the Samba 4 upgrade

[Vladimir Grebenschikov]

Hi 

Me too!

samba4-devel is required for mail/evolution-mapi samba3 and samba4 can't
coexist on single installation without special tweaks.

for me, "it does not works" means:

1. samba4 complains about many configuration values in old smb.conf 

$ smbclient
Unknown parameter encountered: "guest account"
Ignoring unknown parameter "guest account"
Unknown parameter encountered: "max log size"
Ignoring unknown parameter "max log size"
Unknown parameter encountered: "map to guest"
Ignoring unknown parameter "map to guest"
... etc
$

(have fixed this manually)

2. It is impossible to login with old credentials that worked correctly
with samba3 to server. Looks like it is due to complete change of auth
core of samba.

3. I've failed to re-configure samba4 to enable any logins (using samba4
site as guide), it fails with coredumps and such:

# /usr/local/share/samba4/setup/provision --realm myrealm --domain=vbook --adminpass=password --server-role='standalone' --setupdir=/usr/local/share/samba4/setup

upgrade script does not works also:

# /usr/local/share/samba4/setup/upgrade --setupdir /usr/local/share/samba4/setup --realm myrealm /usr/local/etc/samba/ /usr/local/etc/smb.conf.v3
Traceback (most recent call last):

Sorry to see that you are experiencing difficulties. However, a simple
post: "It doesn't work" is simply useless. Could you please supply a
detailed log, examples, smb.conf file, etc. Then and only then would
someone be able to possibly assist you.
