Hi James,
Thanks for your response.
I was nervous about installing the samba-dc packages, but after your post,
I spun up a virtual machine and installed the samba-dc packages and saw the
README to which you referred.
It sounds like work is well under way from a strong redhat-backed community.
This will be a good one to follow.
Best regards,
Mike
