[plug] Win 2000 and samba

[Paul Day]

Dave,

I've had Windows 2000 Pro hosts talking to Samba server's fine. However, I
haven't tested it with the 2k boxes as part of an active directory network
- but would've thought this'd make little difference.

I assume the Active Directoy stuff is what M$ are talking about when they
talk about the extra features they've added on top of SMB, but obviously
it's all backwards comaptible.

Hope that's some help. :)

PD
