I don't see this being in 3.0. Maybe a later release, but there is more work 'todo' in this area that you might expect.

This gets messy - in particular the 'netlogon' problem isn't related to NTLMv2 at all, its another associated mess... > * Winbind idmap storage & central idmap repository (for > clusters, nfs, etc...) > > * Winbind working with Samba DC > > * Group Mapping support (pluggable?) The folks on #samba-technical (kai, metze, ctrlsoft, idra and I) are working on a new SAM interface (fully pluggable etc), and we will bring discussions here shortly on how to move this towards the mythical 'Samba 3.0'. > * Printer attribute publishing using 'net' > > * pluggable passwd support - Done. > > Other possible feature which may be included depending on > time/resources.
