When I just checked out Samba 4 I noticed a small error that's still
in WHATSNEW.txt, namely:

"SWAT provides easy provides access to our
setup and migration tools."

Here your using a double provides where one would do just fine. Just
FYI so it can be corrected for the next TP.

| 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 support for the Active Directory logon protocols used
| by Windows 2000 and above.
|
| Samba 4 is currently not yet in a state where it is usable in
| production environments. Note the WARNINGS, and the STATUS file,
| which aims to document what should and should not work.
|
| With 3 years of development under our belt since Tridge first proposed
| a new Virtual File System (VFS) layer for Samba3 (a project which
| eventually lead to our Active Directory efforts), it was felt that we
| should create something we could 'show off' to our users.  This is a
| Technology Preview (TP), aimed at allowing users, managers and
| developers to see how we have progressed, and to invite feedback and
| support.
|
| Please read the file WHATSNEW.txt in the tarball for more details.
