Hi, Check out Likewise open. I think this is what you are looking for. http://www.likewise.com/products/likewise_open/ " Likewise Open is the open source foundation for Likewise Enterprise that joins Linux, UNIX, and Mac OS systems to Microsoft Active Directory to securely authenticate non-Windows users with AD credentials."

The problem is on the management of id and gid. How to move 1000 actual NIS users to AD ? How to keep the same id and gid for this 1000 users ? What's happen with nfs linux server and acess with gid and/id ? Use the same user/password for linux and Windows clients authentification? We test a solution who work very well. It's Centrify comercial software http://www.centrify.com/directcontrol/overview.asp . But we are looking a freeware solution. (kerberos ? openldap ? pam ? ...) Does someone has already successfully replace NIS by Ad authentification with freeware solution ?
