| all authentication for all our systems, Microsoft and CentOS based,
| over to
| Samba when, or if, this replacement successfully completes.

I would have to ask why you're doing such a thing in the first place? You have a perfectly good working Active Directory setup, that people are already familiar with, I suspect with existing MS clients which integrate fully (and "properly") and you want to replace it with a Samba based setup. Unless you have a relatively simple setup, I would say don't change. However, if you are looking to move to something else, then do that. Why fix to Samba? Why not go with a full on Kerberos/LDAP environment?
FWIW, we use CentOS 6 with Active Directory Authorization. Things have worked fine for us for about 1 year. It took a VERY long time to get setup and working, but it is now.
