SNIA Developer Conference September 15-17, 2025 | Santa Clara, CA
Abstract
Samba 4.0 has been released in December 2012. It is is the first release of Samba that features the Active Directory Compatible Domain Controller. But it is also a very important file server release: Samba 4.0 ships with SMB 3 enabled by default. In my SDC 2012 talk, I described the tasks for Samba to implement many of the features of SMB. In this talk, I will describe the subset of SMB3 that Samba 4.0 already offers, and report about the work in progress in the implementation of more SMB 3 features, giving an outlook of what to expect in upcoming Samba 4.1.
