That's just not true. Many people are successfully using Samba3 to authenticate with tokens from MIT or Heimdal kerberos servers. The problem is getting the Windows clients to *get* these tickets, not in Samba interpreting them. Check out the "use kerberos keytab" option in smb.conf for a common use of this.
