Comment 0 for bug 1344400

Guys,

I'm facing this problem too:
https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2013-March/172230.html

NOTE: I just posted this message on Samba maillist but, this seems to be a BUG, so, I'm opening it here too.

The problem is: samba-tool must use IPv6 ONLY IF the machine have IPv6.

I have two Samba4 AC DC, in both located in my office, dual-stacked, working like a charm.

Now, I need to deploy a third DC, located within Amazon EC2, which does NOT have IPv6.

But, samba-tool fails to join.

How can I workaround this, without enabling a tunneled IPv6 within my EC2 ?

Exemplifying:

1- ubuntu-ad-1 - Master - ok - office LAN1 - IPv4 / IPv6
2- ubuntu-ad-2 - Slave - ok - office LAN2 - IPv4 / IPv6

3- ubuntu-ad-3 - Slave can't join - AWS - IPv4-Only

Debugging it with `strace`, I'm seeing:

---

So, how can I force samba-tool to use IPv4? Since ubuntu-ad-3 doesn't have IPv6...

Thanks!
