Viewed 1k times. Now I'm second-guessing myself, so I want to ask the community: Would you recommend Samba to a small business owner? Windows 7 support is not great. Downgrading security settings, DNS errors when joining a domain, and failed machine trusts in 3. Not what I want to see in production. Out of the box, Samba doesn't support ACLs. But in my BIND9 configuration, everything has to be entered manually and statically.
That seems terrible. A Samba domain only works at the NT4 functional level. If the client ever wanted to upgrade to take advantage of new technologies, I'm not sure that they would have a reasonable upgrade path.
Active Directory allows delegation of rights, particularly on user accounts. I don't believe there is anything like that in Samba. Group Policy would help keep the environment locked down, as some of the computers will be in a publicly accessible area.
Improve this question. Nic Nic So far, the only Linux I've been able to access my Windows 7 shares with is a Centos 5. I've used Centos 5. However, the Linux machine was never a domain controller. Joe: I successfully used Ubuntu Server 9.
Windows 7 was able to access shares from this server, but only after adjusting the local security policy. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes.
