You're still artificially limiting your understanding.
Kerberos (with the MS extensions in the case of 200x/XP) is how objects
authenticate each other and grant tickets for access in a Kerberos realm.

Samba can use Kerberos how it sees fit.
As a client/member server (with MS Extensions) to native MS ADS DCs,
or to 200x/XP clients in the absence of native MS ADS DCs.

The issue is when you have native MS ADS DCs,
because Samba doea not understand MS ADS DC-to-DC replication.
Otherwise, the authentication process to clients is no different.

But that's only authentication.
Again, stop thining "aggregate," think naming, directory,
authentication and file services individually.

Bryan, and you're still belittling people in discussions and get into long 
arguments as a result. Pretty please stop doing that. Even if you 
think you're right, leave some room for the possibility you're not.

People always need some room in arguments, unless you want to corner them.
And I'm sure that's not your intent anyway.

Kind regards,
