I hadn't actually tackled this one yet, but was looking into it. <br>
<br>
I like where Samba 4 is going, but I don't have the environment to test
at the moment. Eventually, I want to run Active Directory and a Domain
replicator in Linux. I hadn't heard of anything that will do that yet,
however Samba 4 is looking to do that.<br>
<br>
Thanks for the info.<br>

<font size="6"><b>Open source community for Linux authentication on
Active
Directory</b></font>
<br>
<br>
<font size="5"><b>The Basics</b></font>
<ul>

</ul>
<font size="5"><b>Likewise
Open</b></font>
<p><font size="3">Likewise Open enables Linux authentication on a
Microsoft
network using Active Directory. A user can now interactively log in to
the Linux machine using Active Directory credentials, and can access
any
kerberized services that the Linux machine hosts.</font>
</p>
<p><font size="3">This is an open source community project sponsored
by Likewise
Software. You can </font><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.likewisesoftware.com/download/"><font color="blue"
size="3"><u>download
Likewise Open</u></font></a><font size="3"> without cost and use it to
join
Linux machines to your Active Directory infrastructure. Or, if you are
a developer, you can </font><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.likewisesoftware.com/community/index.php/participate"><font
color="blue" size="3"><u>get
involved</u></font></a><font size="3"> in making Likewise Open an even
better
tool for the community.</font>
</p>
<p><font size="5"><b>What it Does</b></font>
</p>
<ul>
<li><font size="3">Joins Linux systems to Microsoft Windows Active
Directory
domains</font>
</li>
<li><font size="3">Authenticates users with a single user name and
password
on both Windows and Linux systems</font>
</li>
<li><font size="3">Enforces the same password policies for Linux
users as
for Windows users</font></li>
</ul>
<font size="5"><b>Is Likewise Open the solution
for you?</b></font>
<p><font size="3">It is becoming more common all the time for
enterprises
to use mixed IT environments with Linux systems and Windows systems
operating
side by side. This strategy enables cost effective use of best-of-breed
solutions, but it also creates difficulties in managing user identities
and controlling access to resources.</font>
</p>
<p><font size="3">Perhaps you are experiencing some of these
complexities:</font>
</p>
<ul>
<li><font size="3">Your users have separate names and passwords on
Linux
and Windows</font>
</li>
<li><font size="3">You have concerns about password security, and
no good
way to enforce password policies</font>
</li>
<li><font size="3">You are struggling with a do-it-yourself
authentication
solution using LDAP</font></li>
</ul>
<font size="3">If these scenarios sound familiar,
then Likewise Open may be just what you are looking for. Likewise Open
lets you use Active Directory to authenticate all your users, both
Windows
and Linux.</font>
