samba - Oct 2002 - Winbind and AD

Can someone who knows please explain how compatible with AD Winbind is and 
specifically what advantages the new 3.0 version of Samba provides. I've 
looked at the release notes but I appear to be able to quite happily access 
domain accounts/groups etc, browsing and so on with a RH 7.3 machine on my 
Win2K domain using winbind and am not sure whether it is worth trialling V3.

regards,

Toby,

If it ain't broke, don't fix it...  Otherwise, it works quite well.  So 
far I have no problems pulling up UN/PW of domain accounts.
