Samba will provide SMB services on port 445, a. la. W2K.

No, Windows 2000 makes use of a Kerberos5-like protocol as implemented by
Microsoft.  That is, Microsoft took the K5 protocols and added their own
proprietary data, severely denting interoperability with real K5.  There
is much debate as to whether this can or should really be called Kerberos. 

For a less biased spin on the issues see:

Dunno.  That's really a question for the Linux folk.
