Not wanting to build Samba4 myself I spent some time searching for rpm packages suitable for use on our CentOS-6.5 hosts. I discovered http://enterprisesamba.com/ which provides rpms (sernet-samba-4.1.4-7) for CentOS-6. However, I cannot find an online support community for this package and requests for help made to the samba.org list have met with absolute silence. Since my requests had to do with uncaught exceptions with stack traces and PANICs in samba-tools I can only infer from the silence that that list does not handle support enquires from anyone that does not build their own Samba4 from source.
I have been to sernet.de which builds the rpms and the site is in German, a language I have not used in over twenty years and which I never read very well. It refers to EnterpriseSamba.com but that site in turn provides no reference to an online support community of users.
So, I need help and I need some guidance as to where to go get it. Does anyone here use the same packages for their Samba setups? Does anyone know of an online support group for users of this particular package?

You're in luck, the glusterfs project just built some RPMs of Samba 4.1, glusterfs enabled (it's in upstream nowadays) http://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/samba/CentOS/epel-6/

BTW, you do know that Samba 4.0 is in Base, right?

It's crippled though - you can't run it in full AD mode (samab4-ad has a text file saying sorry this isn't available) so you need the sernet packages if that's your goal.

I know this might not be helpful but ...
When reading this page I get the impression that it's mostly about sernet's commercial Samba offering. Ok, the .rpms are freely downloadable but it looks like everything else is commercial support.
