I apologize for hijacking this thread, but could you provide links to info
on how to do this without using third-party software? I know 2K Server and
OS X pretty well, but have very little experience with 2K3 Server and I'm
going into a situation where the client wants to integrate around 10 OS 10.3
machines into the existing 2K3 domain (without having to setup dedicated
MacShares).

Thanks!
