at this time, Samba is simply not capable of providing Active Directory
Domain and it is not contemplated for the 3.x version at all. I don't
know if they are working on it in head or not.

You question about Kerberos is tricky since there are two different
versions of kerberos, MIT and Heimdal and the linking between samba,
kerberos, ldap, sasl is a complicated mess and one of the things that
differentiates distibutions. I got the impression that most people who
are experimenting with this are compiling into the /usr/local tree
separately from that which is already installed and linked in order to
keep from breaking that which is already there.

You should be addressing these questions to the samba users or probably
even better to the samba-development lists as you are likely to get
better answers there.
