[Samba] Problem with backup and initiation

Thu May 5 15:09:21 UTC 2016

How do I recompile Samba 4 with the options you suggested?
I do this in production?

samba-4.4.2 # ./configure -help | grep systemd
   --with-systemd
             Enable systemd integration
   --without-systemd
             Disable systemd integration

Grateful
Alexsandro Oliveira
