It is not possible to use a Samba server as a BDC for a    NT server.  It is
not possible to use a Samba server as a domain controller in a Windows 2000
domain.

However you can use a Samba server as a BDC for another Samba server if you
use LDAP  as the user information backend.  You can also use a Samba server
as a member server in a NT  or Windows 2000 domain.
