I'd rather they fixed /QNTC to work reliably with all types of SMB
servers, instead of working on a domain controller.

A full domain controller would take a lot of CPU and disk access from the
iSeries (as every logon or logoff synchronizes a gigabyte of data from
the PC to the domain, etc) and can be done easily and cheaply with Samba
on my FreeBSD PC.  I've got a nice $400 Dell server with mirrored hard
drives handling my domain logons...  I don't really want to bog down my
$50000 iSeries which is already much slower than the FreeBSD machine.
