Caponato's Notebook

This will install Samba from your current repository. Debian does not upgrade Samba to a major release until a new Debian version is released. Therefore, it is advisable to install from Debian backports or use Michael Tokarev's Samba repositories (Michael is the official Debian Samba packager and maintainer for Debian).

If you want to use a more recent version of Samba, see the instructions for either:

• Using backports
• Using Michael Tokarev's repos

Once you have decided and configured which version to use, run:

apt-get update && apt-get install --no-install-recommends \
  krb5-user krb5-config libldb2 libnss-winbind libpam-winbind \
  libwbclient0 python3-ldb python3-samba samba samba-common \
  samba-common-bin samba-dsdb-modules samba-libs \
  samba-vfs-modules winbind

• Remember to use `-t trixie-backports` if you are installing from backports.

• You may be asked about the Kerberos realm. Use `mad.caponato.es` as the DNS domain name, and `MAD.CAPONATO.ES` as the Kerberos realm name. Note that the Kerberos configuration file will be replaced or updated later.

• You can now continue to configure Samba as a member server.
