Do people have any recommendations on which Samba version to choose for
production use, as a domain controller and authentication database for
802.1x only? (i.e. no file sharing)
I note that:
* CentOS 7 comes with samba 4.2.10 - labelled as "do not use" on
https://www.samba.org/samba/history/ !!
* Ubuntu 16.04 comes with samba 4.3.11 (although 4.3.12 exists)
The Ubuntu/4.3.11 option would be my default choice - but are there any
compelling reasons for going with 4.4.x or 4.5.x from the start?
Presumably that would require compiling Samba from source?
Thanks,
Brian.
