[Samba] info required

[Sahibzada Junaid Noor]

Hi,
 
 ok i was told by my teacher that the newer version of samba i.e. version 3 will be a perfect clone of  active directory and it will have all the features that active directory domains have.
 
so tell me if this is true. can a samba version 3 server act like a ACTIVE directory based windows domain controller?
 
and also if u can tell me that the domain policies defined by a windows active directory domain controller will remain undisturbed if it is replaced by a samba server.
 
like if i was restricted from accessing the networl folder of one of my teacher which contains the question paper for  tomorrow exam , will i still be unable to access it 
or the permissions will go crazy and i would be able to access it.
 
plz inform me more about how the concept of a active directory domain and permissions have been incorporated or not incorporated into the new version of samba
 
waiting for ur replies
