Damn! You're using Lotus Notes (with its annoyning formatting..)

Ok..
There's three "current" versions of samba. 
	2.0.x is the STABLE tree
	2.0.6 is the latest STABLE
	2.0.7 is soon to be released STABLE

	The HEAD Tree incorporates general new samba functionality,
	and is based / in sync with STABLE (i.e. it's got same functions
	+ several EXPERIMENTAL ones to increase functionality)

	The TNG Tree has NTDOMAIN support, however this tree is based on
	pre-2.0.x (i.e. one split into what would become STABLE 2.0.x,
	and continued working on domain support.)

	TNG Has poor (read: unusable) file-sharing support. It also has other 
	bugs. It's NTDOMAIN support is experimental however...
	TNG supports Trustrelationships, with some issues:
		The user anders in DOMAIN1 is assumed to be the same as anders
		in DOMAIN2.. i.e. even if these are different users, thy'll
		ovn the same files on Unix.

	Personal advice:	Wait until the fall, when 3.0 is expected to
				be complete.. This release is also expected to
				have most of the NTDOMAIN support.

	You're just going to break your neck on incorporating this stuff in
	a production environment..

	Perhaps you could use 2.0.6 or 2.0.7 with joined in your domains,
	or with password server = NTSERVER. (see manpage smb.conf)
