[CentOS] LDAP for central authentication?

OK, I'm just really new at Centos-DS, but it looks to me like it will
simplify this task for you.  I just finally got it set up, and
authentication working for Linux SSH login, as well as Apache.  This
is all really easy stuff, now that I know how to do it.  Even if it
did take me a week or more to figure out how to get here :-)

But in browsing around inn the Centos-DS admin tool, it seems to have
a whole whack of NT Domain stuff built in.   And I see HOWTOs out
there for Samba.

You should join the 389-ds mailing list.

I have not yet jumped into any of the NT stuff, but I'll be going there soon.
