Wasn't thinking.  I was focused on "migration" or
"segmentation" (ADS-NsDS) instead of ADS ownership.
I should have included both Samba ADS-DC membership
as well as SFU, if your network is to be 0w3n3d by ADS.

Yes, it is yet one of the many options.

Nope, not on the NIS end AFAIK.

That was one really nice thing about Microsoft licensing
Integraph AccessNFS (fka Sun PC-NFS) for SFU.  No more client
access licenses (CALs) -- other than the normal number of
CALs you need for X users, when you access via NFS.
