Hi,
Does CentOS 5 / RH 5 ship with a similar windows active directory and able to support windows workstations? I've of heard OpenLDAP and FDS. Does windows support those?
You don't want to go through the Windows LDAP authentication method, modified schemas, adding extended attributes and managing them for all AD users. It's a real mess.
Use winbind + kerberos and that's all you need.
If you need to have the windows uid/gid common across a whole bunch of machines you can either, 1) get the idmap rid stuff working in samba so all uid/gid->rid mappings are the same or 2) setup 1 host to do the mappings and dump it into an NIS map and share it via NIS.
