[Samba] samba authenticate to 2K AD?

[Alexander Lazarevich]

cool, thanks. but are you saying that winbind works - it really does
authenticate a linux box to a 2K server active directory?, youve seen it
work?, and if i install new service packs on the 2K server will that
destroy the authentication of winbind running on the linux box using
samba?

thanks!
