 From what I understand, it can - but as you can see by my last posts to 
this list I can't get it to work with Samba 3.0.X, damn it.  I've tried, 
and tried, and tried - and I'm going to say it's almost more hassle than 
it's worth.  I think I sent out my post over a week ago, and I still 
can't get it to work with messing with it for about 2 hours a day for 
the last week.  I'm trying to get Samba to authenticate against Active 
Directory on Windows 2003 server, and it *was* working fine - and then 
over last weekend, it magically quit working and I can't get it to work 
again.  I've run every test people can suggest, and everything checks 
out just fine, so I don't get it.
