samba - Sep 2004 - passwd syncing?

Can Samba provide a central service for mapping or syncing username and
password across different applications
for example AD users accounts and Lotus Notes "ClientID's" ...
(something
just shy of a metadirectory service)

I've used Samba in a past life do something simular and sound like Samba has
matured significantly.
any thoughts ... or am I hunting down the wrong hole

What about NTLM authentication, Active Directory, OpenLDAP, and MySQL
all can be used as passwd backends. (please add more if I missed any).
