[Samba] Samba 4.1 on CentOS 7

[TI]

Hi Sketch,

There is a package called samba-dc provided by CentOS 7. It seemed to act as an Domain Controller... 

[root at localhost ~]# yum info samba-dc
Name        : samba-dc
Arch        : x86_64
Version     : 4.1.1
Release     : 38.el7_0
Size        : 63 k
Repo        : updates/7/x86_64
Summary     : Samba AD Domain Controller
URL         : http://www.samba.org/
License     : GPLv3+ and LGPLv3+
Description : The samba-dc package provides AD Domain Controller functionality

But, after looking closer:

[root at localhost ~]# rpm -ql samba-dc
/usr/share/doc/samba-dc-4.1.1
/usr/share/doc/samba-dc-4.1.1/README.dc

[root at localhost ~]# cat /usr/share/doc/samba-dc-4.1.1/README.dc
MIT Kerberos 5 Support
=======================

Fedora is using MIT Kerberos implementation as its Kerberos infrastructure of
choice. The Samba build in Fedora is using MIT Kerberos implementation in order
to allow system-wide interoperability between both desktop and server
applications running on the same machine.

At the moment the Samba Active Directory Domain Controller implementation is
not available with MIT Kereberos. FreeIPA and Samba Team members are currently
working on Samba MIT Kerberos support as this is a requirement for a GNU/Linux
distribution integration of Samba AD DC features.

We have just finished migrating the file server and all client utilities to MIT
Kerberos.  The result of this work is available in samba-* packages in Fedora.
We'll provide Samba AD DC functionality as soon as its support of MIT Kerberos
KDC will be ready.

In case of further questions do not hesitate to send your inquiries to
samba-owner at fedoraproject.org




So, you are right =)

Thank you

Regards,

Edison

It sounds like you have already been convinced, but I just wanted to add 
that the samba packages provided by CentOS do not support acting as a 
domain controller, so you must use 3rd party packages such as Sernet, or 
build it yourself.
