We also use BeyondTrust's product (PowerBroker Identity Services, formerly known as Likewise). The free version works very well; we recently converted to the Enterprise version (which enables group policy, setting custom uid/gid values, etc.) but I think most people would get along fine with the free one. Feel free to reach out if you need more information; I've worked with it quite a bit.
