It really depends on what parts of AD are you using. To centralize user/password management and home directories OpenLDAP should be sufficient. But if you want to replace more sophisticated AD features (software deployment, etc.), ther is nothing good enough (and Open Source/Free) for Linux. If your environment is mostly Windows based, I'd stay with AD. -- Tomasz Napierala System Administrator Allegro Team http://www.allegro.pl/
