samba - May 2017 - Samba 4.5.8-Debian User Profiles on NFS-Share

Hi Loius,

thank your for the repository! I was exactly searching for this via google...

Despite the fact that I can configure the services in 4.2.14 on jessie, I guess
it could be wise to go for a fresh, up-to-date Version of Debian and Samba
;-)
Enjoing all the options and features included.

I really appreciate your work!

Franz

If you want 4.6.3 or 4.5.8. 
Have a look here. http://downloads.van-belle.nl/samba4/


Samba packages 4.5.8 for Jessie and Wheezy package 4.6.3 are available through
Repo for Jessie.
http://apt.van-belle.nl/ 


I was buzy with new packages, but due to the notice yesterday i stopped that. 
I'll update to new version soon after the new samba release.

Best part ;-)
