Other documents

Notes on how Samba4 uses kerberos, and some of it's requirements

Mailing list discussions

An extensive discussion on kerberos and Samba4 looking at how and why Samba4 uses it's own KDC, and why we can't just be 'normal'.

Another discussion on Samba4 kerberos architecture

These are listed so that hopefully, in future the next rounds of such discussions don't have to go over the same ground.

Source code tools

The Samba Build farm tests Samba across a number of platforms, and provides code coverage statistics on our test-suite.
