Provided you have organised your kerberos clients to get a TGT etc, then
Samba3 can happily be a normal kerberos client, look at the 'use
kerberos keytab' option (from memory).  Users will natually need to
exist in /etc/passwd or equivilant.

If you want an AD-like login to a Samba domain, look at the work we are
doing on Samba4.
