Please explain this from the Samba Official Howto:

"Samba-3 is not, and cannot act as, an Active Directory server. It 
cannot truly function as an Active Directory PDC"


Are you saying that you can integrate Samba 3.0 with a Kerberos server 
implementation, a LDAP server implementation and dns to give a 
half-cooked (forget Exchange, blah) but functional ADS DC to host a ADS 
domain for Windows XP clients to logon to?
