     What are the advantages, disadvantages, differences, etc., between 
using Likewise Open to authenticate Ubuntu 8.04 Samba users against 
active directory instead of Kerberos, Samba, and Winbind?

     I briefly tested using Kerberos, Samba, and Winbind on Ubuntu 7.10 
quite some time ago with the instructions at 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91510 and it seemed to work 
just fine.  Ubuntu 8.04 comes with Likewise Open to serve the same 
purpose.  What's the difference?
