[Samba] Joining Samba 3.0 to a "pure" Active Directory

Hello.

I'd like to join a Samba 3.0 alpha 21 server running on RedHat 8.0 to an
Active Directory.  This AD does NOT support Windows NT 4.0 Domains.

In a previous mail, I've been asked if I already have Kerberos setup and
tested.  I don't.  How do I test if Kerberos is working correctly for me?

If everything is working fine, I'd like the Samba server to join the AD
"europe.delphiauto.net".  For this, I should type "net ads join".  How
do I specify, which AD is to be joined?

And if this is also working, I'd like to be able to login to the Samba
server with a username/password which is ONLY in the AD.  Do I need any
special privileges in the AD for the server?

When this is also working, I'd like offer shares.  However, not every
user should be allowed to "mount" every share - IOW: restriction should
be done on a per user basis.  If I maintain a local smbpasswd, I know
that this shouldn't be a problem - but what if I use AD to do the
authentication?

Thanks a lot for all your help,
Alexander Skwar
