SUCCESSfull setup

[Michael Croes]

I recently wrote a blog post aimed at Ubuntu LTS users on installing Samba
4.0.4, which details some of the build dependencies as well. It's mainly
just the information from the wiki, but you can take a look at
http://blog.mycroes.nl/2013/03/install-samba-404-on-ubuntu-1204-lts.html,
maybe you can use it.
Regards,

Michael
