Wow! That's awesome

Does this mean that I'll soon be able to drop in Samba as a replacement for an AD domain controller?

No? Damn. Oh well, good for him.

Kind of sucks to be a 'fellow', it sounds kind of silly and outdated. I'd rather be a 'guy' or a 'dude'.

Anyways, is AD Domain Controller support still on the roadmap for Samba 4? Are we close to production release yet?

Are you talking about...

...the same people that Indonesia won't let land and occasionally blow out of the water if they think they can get away with it? The ones rich enough in their home countries to fall prey to the even greedier scamsters who put them on the rotten hulks they sail in the first place? The ones who sail off to save themselves, leaving so many of their countrymen to be murdered behind them? The same ones who import their native triads to Oz and ramp up our local crime rates? The same ones for whom Australia is the only country soft enough to ever let them land at all?

The issues are not as cut and dried as you hope.
