Samba4 production - what is possible

[Mark Rutherford]

We are using it for authentication - it does not serve any files to clients.
We have several Samba 3 servers that do the 'heavy lifting' like serving 
files and printing.

I would suggest that if you want to take the plunge like some of us have 
that you do some testing.
And when you think it's all working okay, test it again. :)

I believe there are a bunch of us out there that are using it in this 
capacity quite happily without issues.
Hope this helps.
