As Kai mentioned, Samba4 gained IPv6 support this week.
One thing that won't be automatically updated if you install the new
version is the dns_update_list file in your private directory. You'll
need to add AAAA entries like this:
AAAA ${DNSDOMAIN} $IP
AAAA ${HOSTNAME} $IP
as currently it only has 'A' entries. This file is the template that
samba_dnsupdate uses to determine what to add to DNS, so it needs
updating for IPv6, but its not part of 'make install'.
Cheers, Tridge
