But this means that setting up Samba with Kerberos backend is impossible to
do without special configuration on each modern windows machine accessing
the server (because the default is encrypted password on Windows 2000,XP),
right? I did not want to hear that:( And I still do not see why samba can
pass (encrypted password) authentication to AD (which is basically
LDAP+Kerberos) and not to LDAP+Kerberos. Or am I wrong in this?
