Authentication Questions

I understand that tradeoff. I will apply the plain-text password
reg files to my NT workstations.
However, I need to use either PAM or
KRB5
for authentication. What my question is, whether SAMBA_TNG, does support
those authentication mechanisms, while functioning as a PDC. And...where
can I find some documentation on how to configure SAMBA_TNG to use PAM or
KRB5.
Thanks for your help.
