[CentOS] Samba4 questions

[Steve Campbell]

I'm not sure why I need that. As I stated, I'm a little new to Samba and 
AD. For some reason, my research suggests that to get AD, I need Samba 4.

The person who manages our Netware, and who will be assuming the 
responsibility of managing all of this once installed wants to keep as 
much of the similarities between Samba and Netware as he/she can. We are 
replacing Netware with Samba as a file services device.
