 From what I can see it's defenetly not possible with samba 2.2 however 
its ohhhhhh so close with 3.0 b3 (as my post said) domain users and 
groups have moved happily and almost effortlessly, however I have hit an 
empass with the machine$ accounts and until we can transfer those I 
would say a move from NT to Samba on large domains isn't a real 
possibility becouse going through several hundred machines to get the 
machine trust accounts is just a wee bit to much effort... (luckily our 
domain here is ittle)
