That was from one year ago. Today it would translate into using the smbd 
binary from samba4.

Maybe this confusion started during the beta phase. There it was 
recommended to not use the samba4 daemon for anything except SYSVOL and 
and NETLOGON.

Today this does not seem to be correct any more, because meanwhile smbd 
from samba3 was merged into samba4. I remember a few exceptions like 
that certain options in smb.conf do not work in this case, but cannot 
find details right now.
