I am trying to integrate Samba with Active Directory. Despite having everything configured correctly, Kerberos working, etc, I am having some issues authenticating to Samba shares using AD credentials. I want to upgrade to the latest version, but I'm stuck.
I have downloaded the latest tarball and installed it (configure, make, make install, etc). I realized that the system doesn't even have a default smb.conf file to work with. The smbd daemon isn't in the various /etc/init.d/rc folders. There is obviously a lot of work to do.
What is the best way to get up and running with the most recent version of Samba on Ubuntu? Using apt-get only brings down 3.0.28a. Unfortunately for me that version doesn't support some of the functionality that I need in my environment.
For what it's worth, I didn't install Samba during installation. When I used make, it put Samba in /usr/local/samba instead of /usr/sbin.
If I had used apt-get to install the version from the repository, would the make file have then updated that version? I don't know enough about make files and configure scripts to verify if that functionality is in there.
