Authentication Questions

I currently have SAMBA_TNG, functioning as a PDC for a few of my NT
workstations. I am using smbd and nmbd from MAIN, and the rest of the
daemons from SAMBA_TNG. Currently, SAMBA is using standard /etc/passwd
authentication for my users. However, I would like to use alternative
authentication schemes. In our network , we currently use Kerberos5 for
all unix authentication.
I did some investigating...and I see the configure script for SAMBA_MAIN,
allows you to add options such as --with-krb5 and --with-pam. However,
the SAMBA_TNG tree's configure script does that even have these options
available. Does or Will Samba support authenticating against kerberos5 or
pam? Also, where can I find some documentation on the ways Samba supports
PAM.
I do not need any "Account Management" features, such as being able to
view my users of USRMGR.EXE.
Thanks in Advance...
btw...SAMBA_TNG is working great for me...keep up the good work :)
