[debian-lan-devel] Debian-LAN: installing a complete network environment

[Nico Kadel-Garcia]

Wait, I know? L:et's have it do dynamic DNS, host authentication, and LDAP
based account management, too! And in 20 years, maybe it'll have 1/1000th
the number of users that the Samba suite has right now, for all of that,
especially including robust and tested Kerberos management with already
tested tools!

Sorry to rain on the parade, but Samba's been pretty good at this since
Samba was invented in the early 1990's, and it's pretty stable. It also
plays nicely with other well known network clients and protocols, such as
Windows based and Mac based clients, so there's really no need to re-invent
that wheel specifically in Debian. The Debian ports of Samba re up to date
and quite stable.
