Samba-TNG Team Releases 0.3

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the imitation-is-the-sincerest-form dept.

emissary47 writes "The Samba-TNG (the next generation) team, releases the first beta of Samba-TNG (a Samba fork since 2000) including some very interesting features for everyone willing to replace NT4 domain controllers. With excellent LDAP-backend support, integration of Microsoft tools such as usermanager for domains and servermanager and a powerful command-line tool called rpcclient it is _the_ alternative solution for Windows domain controlling at the moment. They even include scripts for NT4-server migration in order to make a change easier."

    Samba-TNG (the next generation)

    If this is "news for nerds" site, was it really necessary to explain what TNG means? Or do I now have to stop imagining all my fellow /.ers posting in their klingon uniforms?
