Samba is a free software re-implementation of the SMB/CIFS networking
protocol. Samba version 4 has been released. It is a major rewrite
that enables Samba to be an Active Directory domain controller. I have
been waiting years for this option.
From the release note:
Samba 4.0 supports the server-side of the Active Directory logon
environment used by Windows 2000 and later, so we can do full domain
join and domain logon operations with these clients.
Our Domain Controller (DC) implementation includes our own
built-in LDAP server and Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) as
well as the Samba3-like logon services provided over CIFS. We
correctly generate the infamous Kerberos PAC, and include it with the
Kerberos tickets we issue.
When running an AD DC, you only need to run 'samba' (not
smbd/nmbd/winbindd), as the required services are co-coordinated by
this master binary. The tool to administer the Active Directory
services is called 'samba-tool'.
