You don't have to wait for Samba4 to get some of the benefits of an
"Active Directory" Domain. I have been using Samba3 with an NT4 style
domain and an OpenLDAP backend. While is was a b**** to setup, it has
provided us with a cross-platform single sign on environment for
everything from Desktop logins to VPN authentication.
Samba4 with true "Active Directory" integration will be the nail in the
coffin for Windows here.
