Well UNIX has rsync that does the same thing (and
pre-dates the DFS replication protocol as I recall).

It's a shame that Microsoft didn't do DFS replication
via rsync but invented a new protocol for it, but I'm
sure they had their reasons.

In the meantime I'd suggest to replicate your sysvol
shares with rsync until we get around to implementing
the DFS replication protocol in Samba. We are both
corporate funded (hi my employer !) and volunteer
driven so right now it's obviously not important
enough for a corporation to fund it (else they
would have done so) but volunteer work is always
welcome !
