Do either/both of these let you add accounts for the Linux side that
don't propagate back to AD? I'd like something to use in a lab so
existing users/passwords didn't take extra work but we could still add
accounts that don't exist (and we don't want) in AD. Easy hooks for
apache and java web services to see the combined accounts would be a big
plus.
