emissary47 writes "The Samba-TNG (the next generation) team, releases the first beta of Samba-TNG (a Samba fork since 2000) including some very interesting features for everyone willing to replace NT4 domain controllers. With excellent LDAP-backend support, integration of Microsoft tools such as usermanager for domains and servermanager and a powerful command-line tool called rpcclient it is _the_ alternative solution for Windows domain controlling at the moment. They even include scripts for NT4-server migration in order to make a change easier."

From what I read in the summary, you can use the same tools you'd use to admin a native NT4 server, at least for the server list, and users.

Err - both Samba-TNG and Samba support this (byte-range
locks). Out of the box. We have done for years. I wrote the
code :-). That's why you can use Samba for these multi-user
apps :-).
