I just thought I'd add to this incase anyone has any insight. I
performed the same steps on a new server and it worked fine. This
configuration was a server running Ubuntu 12.04 server with a Linux
Container (LXC) also running Ubuntu 12.04 server running Samba 4.1.4.
The configuration didn't work when I originally tried it in a Virtualbox
guest running Ubuntu 12.04 server with a Linux Container (LXC) also
running Ubuntu 12.04 server running Samba 4.1.4. Is my difficulty
something to do with VirtualBox ?
