I've never suggested that anybody put any work on hold. I'm just
worried about others promising features that I personally feel might not
be compleated in the timeframe and that I *know* have major hurdles in
the way. In particular given that I'll probalby be the one working on
it anyway. (I just like to set my own timelines).
I'm currently putting a lot of effort into both getting a workable,
*real*, SAM implmenentation - so as to allow the AD work.

Given current progress, this isn't somthing that will be done for 3.0,
but is a very worthwhile goal. (Actually, most of the work is really
outside Samba anyway).
