Marcelo Leal studied at Unisinos, where he undertook a Bachelor's degree in Computing Science. Having worked in the IT industry for more than 15 years, he has gained experience as a network/system administrator, support manager, Unix/Linux specialist, storage architect, and most recently, as a solutions architect. He was involved in open source projects since the beginning of his career and has developed some open source tools and submitted patches to the GNU/Linux and FreeBSD kernel. In 2005, he was honored for his participation in the Prmio TI e Governo for the project ""Metrpole"", Porto Alegre/RS. He was one of the founders of the Porto Alegre OpenSolaris User Group (PoaOSUG) and was a contributor for the Open High Availability Cluster Community (OHAC) within the OpenSolaris Project; he was the first person outside Sun Microsystems to contribute code to the Open Cluster software. He received three prizes at the OpenSolaris innovation awards program (2007-2008), and presented a solution for Storage High Availability using nonshared disks at the first OHAC Summit in San Francisco/California, USA (2009). In 2013, he presented a highly available, scalable, and high performance three-layer storage solution at SNIA SpeedConf, Santa Clara/California, USA, which, besides adding a lot of value to the storage service, provided huge savings in capex and opex costs (millions of dollars in three years). He has led the architecture and development of a distributed Storage Appliance that, in three years, provided more than 1.5 million operations per second (CIFS, NFS, and iSCSI) for almost 10PB in an area available for a diverse range of products. In 2010, he wrote ZFS -Para usurios OpenSolaris,Windows, Mac e Linux, Brasport, the first book about ZFS in Brazilian Portuguese and actually one of the few books about ZFS available in a language other than English. He tries to write regularly on his blog at http://www.eall.com.br/blog. Marcelo profile can be found on LinkedIn(https://www.linkedin.com/in/marceloleal). Recently a contest was held on Marcelo's blog(www.eall.com.br/blog/?p=3071) which was received with good response.

Index

Chapter 1. Installing the Samba 4 Server

In this chapter, we will begin with the GNU/Linux distribution, which we will use as the base operating system (OS) to run the Samba 4 software. We will install packages and execute some basic and fundamental configurations on the system. We will cover the following subtopics:

  • A quick overview of the installation process of the GNU/Linux distribution Debian 7.0 (Wheezy). This OS installation procedure will not be covered in much detail, because it should be really straightforward for the reader. Also, there are many excellent resources available online for further reading in case of any doubts regarding the installation process of GNU/Linux.

  • How to install and configure all the dependencies needed for a proper Samba 4 installation.

  • Step-by-step procedures and explicit command line examples to install the Samba 4 software.

  • How to use the Debian's official packages and repositories for all the dependencies.

  • How to install the Samba 4 Server using the source code (stable branch) from the official GIT repository of the project.

  • How to perform basic validations of the Samba 4 Server installation to be sure that the environment is ready for configuration and to provide a full range of the network services for which it's intended.

It's really important to have a sane environment on which the user can rely on and be sure that any issues faced later at the production phase are not caused by an unmet dependency, misconfiguration of one of the needed core parts of the OS, or even caused upon an auxiliary service (for example, the dhcp server) that is not properly configured or enabled.
