Hello.

As per subject, I'm building a new box which must host a jail running a 
Samba AD, but I have trouble provisioning it.
Currently I'm trying samba44.

I read a lot of material and I think I understand the problem: it seems 
the "samba-tool provision" script is incompatible with NFSv4ACL used by ZFS.
AFAICT this issue has been raised, the Samba team has acknowledged a 
patch should be made, but so far nothing happened.





So I'm looking into workarounds:

a) someone suggest installing samba43, provision, then upgrade to 
samba44. In fact this is some path I went through a couple of times in 
the past (on UFS, however). Alas samba43 is no longer there.



b) I think I might get around this by provisioning with the deprecated 
NTVFS, then switch to S3FS.
Unfortunately samba44 does not build NTVFS anymore, unless the DEVELOPER 
option is used; but if the DEVELOPER option is used compilation (on 
Poudriere) fails with:
> ../source4/lib/socket/socket_ip.c:864:12: error: comparison of array 'addr.__u6_addr.__u6_addr8' equal to a null pointer is always false [-Werror,-Wtautological-pointer-compare]
>                 if (addr.s6_addr == 0) {
>                     ~~~~~^~~~~~~    ~
> /usr/include/netinet6/in6.h:103:29: note: expanded from macro 's6_addr'
> #define s6_addr   __u6_addr.__u6_addr8
>                             ^
> 1 error generated.



c) I tried creating a ZVOL, formatting it with UFS, mounting it with 
ACLs inside the jail, but still provisioning says I have no ACL support.



d) I know samba46 is incompatible with jails (at least as AD DC), but 
didn't try samba45. AFAICT, however, nothing should have improved WRT to 
my problem.




So, after spending a couple of days on this and before spending another 
week trying every path, I tought I'd ask...

Should I temporarily revive samba43?
Can samba44 with NTVFS compilation error be fixed?
Should I try samba45 or is it just a waste of time?
Would creating a jail on another (UFS) box and then moving 
/var/db/samba4 and smb4.conf here work?

I'm open to any other suggestion as long as the objective (AD in a jail 
on ZFS) is met in the end.

  bye & Thanks
	av.
