Here is my line of thinking. 

  o First project is to get an AD compatible schema 
    implemented in OpenLDAP so we can store user account 
    attributes for Samba.  This is only a stepping stone.

  o By implementing the previous step, it will be a little
    easier to incorporate Samba as a Windows 2000 domain 
    member.

  o The final piece is a UNIX based KDC that knows 
    about the infamous Windows 2000 PAC.

I realize this is **extremely** simplified.  Just a quick
attempt to map development out. 

Of course, from a development standpoint, this comes after 
the solidified NT 4 domain controller support.  We need
a more complete MS-RPC subsystem to move ahead. 

btw...Jean-Francois is making progress on porting SAMR
functions from TNG into HEAD.  Just a little "Hooray!" for
JF.  :-)


"Hooray ! Hooray ! Hooray !"
