This is incorrect.  Samba servers can be added to a native mode Win2k
domain, where they act as downlevel NT4 servers (i.e. using Win2k's
backwards compatibility NetBIOS layer).

On the other hand, Samba cannot behave as a domain controller in a
native mode domain, and doesn't have AD support per se.
