I recommend that you search through the pam-krb5 list archives: http://lists.netexpress.net/pipermail/pam-krb5/
You can use Sun's SEAM, and/or MIT krb5 w/ one of the various open-source pam_krb5 modules. And you can use OpenSSH w/ Simon Wilkinson's SSH/GSS-API patches[*]. [*] http://www.sxw.org.uk/computing/patches/ The idea is to use PAM_KRB5 for password validation to login to your hosts and kerbized telnet/ftp/ssh for Kerberos network authentication. You'll still need a name service and/or /etc/passwd (and friends) to provide the Unix user profile information. You might want to look into MS SFU (Services For Unix), which has, IIRC, an ActiveDirectory->NIS gateway or something like that.
