John,

  Just last month we setup a AD network with Samba 3.0.10 on Solaris 8 & 9 and
it worked the first time!  I didn't have anything to do with setting up AD but
I was responsible for samba.  I installed the MIT Kerberos 1.3.5 libraries,
built Samba 3.0.10 with --with-ads.  Worked excellantly :-))
