This code base initially included Samba 3.0. There is an additional, optional software repository available online for SUSE Linux Enterprise customers - named SLES10-GPLv3-Extras - which provides Samba 3.4.3[0] - same version and including the same fixes as the version used with SLE 11 SP 1. Ok, that's the good news. Now to the potential bad part. The bad part only applies if you make use of Domain Services for Windows (DSfW) formerly known as xad. Some of the required modifications had not been ported to Samba post-3.0 and therefore running any post-3.0 Samba code will cause trouble aka will not work. We're working on this with the OES colleagues.
