Win 2000 and Samba

I administer an NT network. My boss administers the Unix side. He runs a
box that runs Samba. Our NT users have a share on the Samba box that is
mapped by their NT profile. It contains their profile and personal file
storage. We are planning a move to Windows 2000. It will be in native
mode (no NT boxes, no WINS, no netbios). Can Samba handle authentication
with Win 2000? What version of Samba must we run? Is there a web site
with this info on it? I tried looking on samba.org but couldn't find
anything. I'm thinking that unless  Samba  looks like a Win 2000, we'll
be stuck with Win 2000 mixed mode, which prevents using Active
Directory.

Thanks
Mark
