[Samba] QUESTION: security=ads vs. security=domain

[Andrew Smith-MAGAZINES]

It gives native membership to Windows 2K (Active Directory) domains which is required to participate in a W2k domain if you are not running in mixed mode. Also gives kerberised authentication to Samba shares which is nice for security and single sign-on.

Subject: [Samba] QUESTION: security=ads vs. security=domain


Can someone explain to me what "ADS" buys me over "Domain" for a member
server?
We just started implementing Samba 3.0 and want to understand what the new
ADS security buys us.
