Because Samba can't act as a true domain controller, trust doesn't work,
true NT printing doesn't work, oplocks break, clients lock up accessing
directories, you can't use the NT User Manager, and various other
glitches.  As crappy as NT is sometimes, at least its filesharing works
(unless the box croaks).  Samba is great, but its not finished.
