Folks,
Given the feedback from everyone, here is the feature
implementation and release proposal I'm throwing out
there.
See the updated Roadmap at
http://us4.samba.org/samba/development.html
also for more goodies.
This plan allows us to set given milestones for testing
and release. This does not mean that features in
release 2 are not important for a PDC. This is just
a means or ordering the implementation so we can
get a stable release out there as soon as the
acceptance criteria is met.
Note that I've not included Exchange plugins here.
I think I would consider that to be a separete project
(beyond this scope).
Release 1:
* Domain logon support for Windows NT 4.0 SP3+ and
Windows 2000 clients
* User and group enumeration by domain
member services such as assigning users to
NTFS ACLs and share permissions.
* Support for the full range of user profile
settings such as valid logon hours, password
expiration, profile location, home directory, etc...
Release 2:
* Participation in Windows NT 4.0 SAM replication
protocols both as a Primary Domain Controller
and as a Backup Domain Controller
Release 3:
* Ability to initiate and maintain Inter-Domain
Trust Relationships in an existing Windows
NT multi domain network.
Cheers, jerry
