9x should not present a problem, except for issues with the storage of
profiles (which are client issues, I believe).

The LDAP schema for Samba was in flux the last I heard about it.

Windows 2000 is less likely to work with TNG than NT4.  Note that
Samba 2.0.7 will work fully with Win2k clients as a standalone server,
but not a PDC; 2.0.7's PDC support is in any incomplete and set to be
scrapped.

That is a bummer.  I don't believe that Windows 2000 Professional is
much of a net gain over NT in an NT4 domain environment.

Port 445/449 (I don't remember which, but probably 445) is the port
that NT/Win2K use with DCE/RPC for domain authentication.
