2.2 _can_ according to the samba3 docs, (The Official Samba-3 HOWTO and
Reference Guide)
3.3.4 ADS Security Mode (User Level Security)
Both Samba-2.2, and Samba-3 can join an Active Directory domain. This
is possible if the
domain is run in native mode. Active Directory in native mode perfectly
allows NT4-style
Domain Members. This is contrary to popular belief. Active Directory in
native mode
prohibits only the use of Backup Domain Controllers running MS Windows
NT4.
apparently it just doesn't use kerberos authentication.
Anyway going to Samba3 sounds like a good thing to do.
