Samba4 - Installed and appears to be operating - Errors with replication

I've finally completed a build and tested (with a previously noted
exception in smb2 tests on openSUSE) Samba "Version
4.0.0alpha12-GIT-5eedaae".

I have joined an existing domain as a second domain controller based on
the HowTo from http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4_joining_a_domain.
This seems to have run fine until I get down to the replication test.
The result of "net drs showrepl neptune.mycompany.local" yields 

      * Password for [administrator]:
        Annapolis\NEPTUNE

        DsReplicaGetInfo failed - WERR_DS_DRA_ACCESS_DENIED.
        return code = -1
        DsReplicaGetInfo() failed for
        DRSUAPI_DS_REPLICA_INFO_KCC_DSA_CONNECT_FAILURES
        
I am able to view the domain forest through the Active Directory Users
and Computers when specifying this new machine.  Unfortunately, if I
force a fail in the "primary" domain controller (power it down) I still
lose all domain account access (e.g. Exchange access is unavailable,
network drives that cannot be authenticated to, etc) rather than have
authentication roll over.  Am I missing something?


Despite this issue, this is really looking _very_ promising for some of
our infrastructure expansion plans.  You guys are doing an excellent
job!

Regards,
Frank
