That's kind of what I thought so I lost interest. Only syncing accounts and passwords is useful but not quite useful enough.

A quick look at the website for Likewise Open shows it seems to do a lot more than when I looked at it. I'll have to play with it again. Thanks for the update.

Yes, that’s the whole point behind LikeWise, Centrify, etc. If you can’t do that then something was very wrong. It would be like not being able to take a left turn in a new car you just bought.. ;-)

It's been a long time since I looked at it but I seem to remember that I couldn't pull group membership from AD; only username and password.

You are saying at this point I should be able to have a www group within my AD, then when logging into my web server I can have the AD- group members modify files owned by www on the web server?

LikeWise. We are a Centrify vendor, and Centrify works in a similar way
to LikeWise (although Centrify doesn't require AD schema updates).

Do you mean group membership when you say "assign permissions"? Or are
you talking about actual file-level permissions? (Which you would set
and manage via groups anyway.)

I played with the free/simple version awhile back and it worked just
fine.  I still had to assign permissions within Linux but for basic
authentication and password sync it works fine.

"Likewise Open integrates Linux, UNIX, and Mac computers in Microsoft
Active Directory."

Apparently it's not the same as just using a PAM.
