Samba can act as an NT4 PDC, or an Active Directory member server. It
can't act as a stand-alone Active Directory controller/server. I guess
that Win2k can still authenticate against NT4 domains, but I don' think
that XP -> can. The real question is: how many people are still using
Win2k, e.g. would this actually benefit somebody?

What exactly is the problem? Perhaps I can help with that.
