Not really a reason to repeat. Ok? :) The problem is certainly that what you want to realize is a complicated issue (samba with ADS master). Though you are using FOSS software not all is for free. What I mean, you can certainly hope to get some tips and help for specific questions, but to expect that someone will provide you with a fully functional solution may be a bit too much. I think that is a reason why you got no answer to your first mailing. Much luck anyway.
