p.s. even if I could get it to authenticate SMB from the current 5.3 box I'd be happy.

If I have to go the directory services route I can only say that I hope it has improved a lot since the last time I installed it 18 months ago - though that was 389-ds ...

I've been sniffing at FreeIPA, which is a bundle based on the latest version of 389, with a bunch more stuff around it to allow both windows and 'nix systems to authenticate, also stuff for policy management, etc. It looks really interesting, but I haven't had a go at setting it up yet.
