apple's samba on mac os x server

[Chad Cunningham]

This is probably a long shot, but does anyone know what apple has done to 
samba on mac os x server? reading through the docs, it sounds like they 
have modified it to authenticate via netinfo. At the very least, they've 
done something so that rather than having an smbpasswd file, it stores the 
windows encrypted passwords in netinfo, and it authenticates incoming 
requests via netinfo rather than a password file. I'm wondering if they 
did this to samba or if they have some sort of bridge somewhere, or what. 
If they modified samba, as it's GPL, they'd have to publish the changes, 
right? Did they talk to any of the samba folks about how they've done 
this? I can find no info anywhere on apple's site...
