Is there anybody on the list that has Samba4 DRS working?

Indeed.  It is really important not to confuse our first demonstrations
for a final solution.  There is much more work to do, but we have a
promising start.  

I certainly would not deploy Samba4 'under a gun' - it needs patience
and understanding from all involved, as when it blows up, we will need a
small amount of time to diagnose and provide a workaround.

For example, Samba4 alpha9 has a nasty segfault bug in it - only found
by the administrator of my 'secret russian production site' - we will
issue alpha10 in the next week to address that and some of the DRS
issues.
