Any visionaries out there that see the future of SAMBA and NT5 domain
control using KRB5?

>From the preliminary news it seems that Microsoft has implemented KRB5 in
its own inimitable way (stretching the meaning of open standard), forcing
anyone with hopes of integrating UNIX kerberos and NT domains into using
an NT5 server as the Kerberos KDC.

Does anyone have first-hand experience with the NT5 beta doing this?

Will there be a effort to reimplement NT5 Kerberos in SAMBA?
Should there be?
