Yes and no.  Depends on what you're doing.  Especially with logging into a domain from 
a linux machine where your login script requires registry editing and such. Like I 
said before, you can hack around it, but you will never have the seamless integration 
that other NT machiens have obviously.

Things as simple as shares and printers yes, but there is a vast world beyond those 
simple subjects that have, and do, cause problems within a domain.  I speak from 
experience ;)

No need to apologize to me... none at all.  If you have specific questions about how 
to integrate your system with SAMBA please pass them on by all means.  The SAMBA 
mailing list, hosted through samba.org is a wealth of information... which I also 
highly recommend you utilize.

Luck!
