Really not much time to work on Samba this week. So I didn't get around to really debug the failing echo test for quite a while. Then tridge pointed out that I was trying to use a connected UDP socket as if it was not connected, and things started to …

A bit late, as usual, but I finally have something productive again. I've got a Samba4 UDP echo server and async client library (including torture test suite), and they're almost working. :) I'm saying almost because I can only get it to work manually right now, not from "make test". I'm …

I usually hate it when real life stops me from coding, but in this case I had a really fun weekend off the computer. The downside is that the echo server still is not done. So not much happening on the Samba 4 front from my side.

Last week, I didn't really get to spend much time on Samba 4. About the only thing I managed was working on a patch that renamed the s4 "net" binary to "samba-tool" while at the GSoC Mentor Summit 2010 with Jelmer.

The rename reduces the number of executables with the …

This is the first installment of my hopefully regular progress reports on the things I did last week to get Samba 4 closer to a stable release.

The biggest piece of work certainly was finally pushing the DNS server implementation. Yes, that's correct, Samba 4 now has it's own DNS …

After a couple of days of grinding through the code, the "net" tool from the Samba suite is finally ready to speak languages other than English. A bit over 1700 messages are now waiting for translators.

Note to self: Next time I work on i18n, I want combat pay.

After some initial issues, I have just joined my first XP box to Samba4 running on snoopy, my ARM-based system-on-a-chip home server.

So now I have a spiffy Active Directory setup running on a system that makes no noise, barely heats up, and that peaks at 2W power usage. If …

If you have ever built Samba4, you will have noticed that gcc spits tons of warnings. As fixing little things all over the code is a good and easy way to get an idea what's done where, I have decided to go and fix as many of those warnings as …

What the project is about

Samba4 contains a basic winbind implementation, but it is still lacking many features. The goal of my project was to improve Samba4 winbind so that the nsswitch and pam functionality provided by Samba3's winbindd would be present in Samba4, too.

Simply copying code over from …
