Apologies for the snippage but it really all came down to this.

I genuinely don't believe that Samba can work across multiple domains, 
across multiple sites, across multiple cotinents as well as the native 
offerings. I truely hope Samba-TNG will solve that but it's only just 
reached 0.3, so we probably have a while to wait.

But given a choice I would always put Samba in rather than NT/2000. 
Sometimes however there are other factors and then it can be a case of 
no choice. Being in that situation doesn't make one ignorent, which is 
where all this started :-)
