Well, see Steve's answer..:-) Despite my quite strong involvment in Windows systems management, I still have mnaged to survive *without* ADS, and just still use a good old flat NT4 domain, which I'm very happy with..:-) Steve, do you think it's worth for us to post a call for "Debian developers/contributors with access to an ADS domain anhd willing to help on Samba" in the Debian ML? Andrew is right that we will have more and more problmems supporting the samba package if we can't really work on the ADS features. Actually, we have one indeed : our bug reporter who opened this thread...:-)
