Thanks - would it work to use the fedora directory server set
up to sync with AD?  (Seems like a lot of work just for this
effect...).  Or maybe just add windows services for unix on
the AD servers and use NIS on the Linux boxes instead?  I'd
think this would be a common problem these days.  Up till
now I've been creating the accounts manually but using smb
authentication against a PDC to avoid dealing with passwords
but the windows side of the house is just completing a move
to AD.
