Can someone tell me when Ubuntu comes with a newer version of there samba 4 package. The current version is samba 4.3.11-Ubuntu.

When I look at the Samba site, this version is EOL, and already as of 2017-03-11.

You are on 14.04 or 16.04 (both use 4.3.11). Those 2 will never receive a newer version; they will only get patched (that means it gets updated but the version number will never change) if there is a security issue.

You have at least 2 options to get a newer version:

  1. 17.10 uses 4.6.7; 18.04 will use 4.7.3

  2. You can use the samba team nightly to install the newest version.

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:samba-team/ppa
sudo apt-get update

    to add the PPA.
