[Samba] samba - ad domain trust windows 2003 native mode

[werner maes]

Hello

Is it possible to establish an interdomain trust between samba 
3.0.25c and Windows 2003 Active Directory in Windows 2003 native mode?
According to the howto Chapter 18, last phrase it is not: "It works 
with Samba-3 and NT4 domains, and also with Samba-3 and Windows 200x 
ADS in mixed mode ".

But Volcker Lendecke replied on a mail in the samba mailing list:

That's a wrong assumption. You can certainly use a trust in
native mode. The only thing you can not do anymore is
install an NT4 BDC into the domain that was converted to
native.

So my question: what's the story on this? As for now I cannot make 
the trust work (samba as the trusting domain).
