Samba4 production - what is possible

[Martin Hochreiter]

I read about that possibility - to use 3/4 in parallel (franky builds)
... i have to search for a config for samba 3 and 4 that allows such
a combination (especially on the same server ...)

Is fileserving not that far to use the samba4 fileserving alone?
