Yes, SSSD is of interest to me too. The last version I used was sufficiently less adept at matching winbind or nss_ldap in functionality that it wasn't all the good for use against Active Directory. I'm assuming nested group handling has improved somewhat since I last tried it with CentOS 5, which was the killer when I last tried. It certainly sounds like a massively improved model compared to nss_ldap, you'd hope for much better resilience and performance. I'm not sure I see graphics drivers as a big deal. Have your own local repo, add in a suitable package from elrepo, and install it at kickstart time. jh
