[Wolves] Samba Authentication against SBS 2000

[Martyn Carey]

I have to disagree,

Winbind is designed for windows NT domains this is different entirely to 
active directory. Samba is compatbile with windows NT 4 domains only.

Also sbs server only entitles you to one server per domain be it nix or 
wins**t.

Sorry
Martyn
