Khim, your condescending tone is unneccesary. I asked a question and gave a couple of alternative answers, some of them I knew in advance were probably not true. That's a good way to get your questions answered, since many people love to point out when you are wrong...

I was unable to find the answer to this pretty basic question on the Samba website and documentation. It's probably obvious to the devels and experienced admins.

I read that reply as somewhat tongue-in-cheek. The "crazy question" is really a sensible goal for those who have to maintain a mixed network, but the sensible desire of customers has been intentionally foiled by Microsoft using "embrace and extend" strategy to discourage such mixed networks (assuming it would usually be the unix side that got dropped).
