I’m breathing a sigh of relief this morning in rainy Minneapolis because this is very encouraging to hear. Thank you!

HOWEVER… this opens a door to another room I’ve never been in because I know the Debian/Ubuntu version of Samba 4.1.6 has been configured with some tweaks to install it differently (sbin and bin binaries installed into existing directories, conf file installed under /etc/samba/, etc.).

How would an expert do this? Just apt-get remove samba and install the latest version from source? Any configure tweaks? Where would I move the existing databases and other files? What do I need to keep? What can I leave behind? I’m not expecting you to answer all of these questions, but perhaps you know of a helpful tutorial online? I can’t seem to find a good one…
