Hi, first the typo :-D

The code suppoting

shouldn't it be 'supporting' ?

Also, wouldn't this:

+With the final release of Samba 4.2, the last series of Samba 3 has
+become discontinued! People still running 3.6 or a previous version,
+should consider moving to a more recent and maintained version
+(4.0 - 4.2). But one of the common misconceptions is, that Samba 4.x

be better like this:

+With the final release of Samba 4.2, the last series of Samba 3 has
+been discontinued! People still running 3.6.x or earlier,should
+consider moving to a more recent and maintained version(4.0 - 4.2).
+One of the common misconceptions is that Samba 4.x automatically
+means "Active Directory only": This is wrong!
