Hi Johnny, Thank you for your response. I thought to choose the sernet package because of the following stated in Samba Readme: Samba packages shipped in some distributions like e. g. Fedora, RHEL may not be able to be used as Samba AD DC, because the distribution relies on MIT Kerberos which isn't supported by Samba yet. In this case build Samba yourself or use the packages from SerNet or other reliable sources. I do want to use samba as an AD DC. Does the above not apply to CentOS distro? Thanks for reading.
