            Bug ID: 191439
           Summary: net/samba41: Add ADDC option, change default options
           Product: Ports Tree
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: Needs Triage
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: bugzilla.freebsd at omnilan.de

I prepared a patchset which can reduce dependencies a bit by making it possible
to disable (in my world disabled by default – so to enable) sambas »built-in«
ActiveDirectory-DomainController (ADDC). It's a simple matter of the configure
argument "--without-ad-dc". Now libsasl2, libgcrypt and libgnutls are no
mandatory LIB_DEPENDS.

I also made NSUPDATE really optional, not one-out-of-3-choice (OPTION_RADIO vs.
OPTION_SINGLE).

Additionally I changed OPTIONS_DEFAULT from ${OPTIONS_DEFINE} (all) to that I
really used in the past 10 years of samba deployment. This is highly personal
experience, but I'd like to see the ADDC option disabled by default – in many
cases that prevents fellows from digging into samba41, but samba36 has some
serious unfixed bugs, which prevent stable usage even for most basic/essential
CIFS usage! (and I was told by a samba developer that only security fixes will
make it into any samba36 update, not even most serious bugfixes, known and
fixed in samba4[1] long ago and confirmed to be serious…)

And last, I changed ADS_DESC to make clear, member support for ActiveDirectory
is meant (not DomainController, which one can think since that's the main
feature when talking about samba4[1]) 

Thanks,

-Harry
