said to be a trusted domain. The domain in which those users have assigned rights and privileges
is the trusting domain. With NT3.x/4.0 all trust relationships are always in one direction only,

New to MS Windows 2000 ADS security contexts is the fact that trust relationships are two-way
by default. Also, all inter-ADS domain trusts are transitive. In the case of the RED, WHITE and BLUE
-domains above, with Windows 2000 and ADS the RED and BLUE domains CAN trust each other. This is
-an inherent feature of ADS domains. Samba-3 implements MS Windows NT4
