Samba 4 is the ambitious next version of the Samba suite that is being developed in parallel to the stable 3.0 series. The main emphasis in this branch is support for the Active Directory logon protocols used by Windows 2000 and above.

Samba4 alpha4 follows on from our second alpha release (made in December), the first alpha release (made in September), and the Technology Preview series we have offered for some time now.
