I can only second this. Samba is very good in the right places.

PDC support for any NT clients (4.0 or 2k) has allways been alpha, so your
either know that you are dealing with alpha software (i.e. do some test 
installation,
see if it works for you, then stick with that version) or you just have
to use a different solluotion.

At our company we have one NT 4.0 PDC, who does NOTHING besides managing
users and serving profiles ... the rest are asorted samba servers (as 
domain memebers).
We are quite happy with this kind of sollution, as it works rock-stable.
(of course some LDAP server together with a samba PDC would be REALLY 
perfect,
or something else where sasl could store and sync its information .... :)
