> 1. Will a Samba PDC establish trust relationships with NT PDCs?
Yes. But I a really reccomend you have all PDCs under Samba, since my
feeling is they are much stable an easier to manage than real M$ ones
:-) It's an advice, you can keep your PDC under NT if you want.

Dunno. All users here are under W2K with Norton Anti-virus auto-update
mode on... This works nicely and const about $60 USD -max price, you can
get cheaper with bundle licenses. I'm thinking about replacing this
costly solution and potentially risky (I need to trust Norton...) with a
centralized anti-virus software on samba shares...
> 3. Do you mostly use scripts to manage users, or a GUI?
AFAIK, there are many GUI for you convenience (SWAT or SWAT module for
webmin...). I personaly prefer scripts.
> 4. Is it LDAP/Samba integration possible?
Sure. This works really well, look at samba-ldap-tools.
My 2 cents.
