Well, MS made extensions to its LDAP implementation by giving it new RPC
calls for its special MS Kerberos data did it not?
So if I don't break it down, how else would I point out that ADS DC on
open source is not possible unless these extensions are also available
in open source implementations of these technoluogies?

Right, but you got me interested in whether an actual open source
solution to native Windows MS-Kerberos account management exists when
you say that Samba 3.0 could be an ADS DC.

and native MS account management on Unix?
