Samba 2.0.x and The HEAD branch from CVS (will be 3.0.x?) support
limited DC functionality with no support for win2000 or BDC.
Samba TNG (The Next Generation) is really alpha code but 2.5 seem to
work in most environments: this is able to act as pdc for win2000 and
will support in time full DC capabilities.
So if you need DC with win2000 machine you must test a TNG alpha
release.
