At work, before the introduction of ActiveDirectory (which I
believe lets you also expose the directory via LDAP) I was
seriously looking at tearing out the relevant portions of
the Samba code (once the initial BDC code was written) so
that I could use a Windows NT domain to authenticate users.

I never got around to it, and now with ActiveDirectory on
the radar, probably never will ... but if there's a better
solution, or if someone's already done this ... I'd also
be very interested in hearing some details.
