Problems setting up (fresh) Samba 4 installation

After flushing the RHEL system and building another, I have finally gotten
a fair measure of success. By this, I mean I was able to create a share
and manipulate a file in the share. However, I did have to make some SWAGs
about information not in the HOWTO.
First thing I found with the HOWTO, was section 11 concerning setting the
permissions. The part regarding Bind failed because of missing files, but
I expect this is because I have Samba configured for the internal DNS. If
not, then there are probably other things waiting to fail which I have not
found.
The second thing was having to open the firewall to allow the SMB traffic.
This resolved the problem where I could "see" the Samba system from a
Windows 7 system but could not mount the share. After opening the
firewall, all was good.
I hope my troubles have added to (future) improvements of the HOWTO.
Thank you all for your help sorting this all out.
