Samba 3 is not Activity Directory (work in progress I understand for version 4). What it can do is act as Domain contoller (PDC) as well as authenticate users against AD using kerboros in a Windows AD Environment. A fully implemented Samba PDC can authenticate users, run login scripts, support profiles, and share resources. Would suggest you reference the OReilley OpenSource Books (compendiums) on Samba3.
