[Samba] How to join a Linux machine to a Samba4 domain

[Lea Massiot]

Good morning,

No. I haven't. 
The good reason is the following: I'm not going to do anything before I know
what is necessary and sufficient to make "this" work. 
"This" being:
1) Joining a "Linux" ("Debian Wheezy") machine to the "Samba4 AD DC" domain.
2) Creating a share on this very same "Linux" client machine.

Which "Samba"? Which "Debian" package? 
Not "samba4".

packages shipped with Wheezy."
And indeed, "samba4" "Debian Wheezy" package doesn't work.

The howto "https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setup_and_configure_file_shares"
is probably interesting, 
except it doesn't say what has to be installed on the "Linux Debian Wheezy"
client machine.
Maybe there exists another tutorial which tackles that aspect of the topic.

That's true.
Join the domain AND created a share.

So, what is this minimal install I should do (to join the domain + create a
share)?

Best regards.
