You misunderstand.  I registered at EnterpriseSamba in the belief (prehaps
mistaken) that this was the Samba project core team's public 'brand'.  I have
the sernet-samba rpm installed already. I also have the sernet-Samba-ad
service running and promoted to a DC on my existing AD Domain already.

>From what I can discover sernet-samba-4.1.4 seems to mostly work. I just lack
the experience to give me confidence in committing to Samba in place of our
existing W2K AD DC.  Eroding what confidence I do have is that I have
encountered a number of issues where the samba-tool utility simply breaks and
gives what appears to be an abbreviated a stack trace along with some pretty
startling error messages, containing words like "PANIC" and "unhandled
exception".

For that reason I have subscribed to the Samba mailing list. I get the message
traffic from that list.  And I have received my own messages to the list back
as well as see them in the list archives as well, thus confirming that my
messages were delivered.

What I am unable to do is to get any response to any of the questions I have
posted respecting the errors I have encountered.  I get nothing.  It is as if
I had never written.

So, I am seeking an alternative support venue, if such exists, where I might
get some answers.  If there is none then I will simply re-post my original
messages to the samba list until I get some sort of response, even if it is
only an expression of irritation.
