Win200 Server and Samba

[TJ Boyle]

Seems Unlikely although I cannot give you a definite yes or no, the reason I
think it's unlikely is because Microsofts Active directory services uses Ldap
and kerberos encryption from what I gather and that they have taken the ldap
protocol and put there own hooks in, making in incompatible with others LDAP
services, also I believe they got the source for kerberos from MIT and didn't
tell them the changes they made so it's slighty incompatible with standard
kerberos services. If this was not the case I suppose PAM+LDAP authentication
may have worked in some way to authenticate of the ADS on the W2k.

Regards,
TJ

P.S. I have never done any testing, this is just what I picked up from looking a
little in to this.
