It appears css-solutions.ca (not .com) has been off the air for over a year,
based on the quick search I did at Google.  Some of the references pointed
to places like:
http://www.padl.com/download/MKSADPlugins.msi
ftp://ftp.kalamazoolinux.org/pub/projects/awilliam/ldap/AD4Unix.zip
http://smokeping.planetmirror.com/pub/ad4unix/MKSADPlugins.msi


What's odd about the first link is that Luke Howard, of padl.com, put a note
out in January of 2003 saying that he was putting it at that location.  Why
they never updated their links on their own web site, I have no idea.

Apparently, this is some sort of "schema extension" that needs to get run
against the Windows AD server.  Your Windows administrators might not like
that too much.  All it is _supposed_ to do is add support for things like
uid, gid, etc., that a typical Linux/UNIX user has associated with their
userid.

I tried the first link, and got a file.  Just what's in it, I'm not sure.
It's 2,822,656 bytes in size.  Download and use it at your own risk.

Subject: OT: Using the padl.com utilities to autenticate against A.D.


My goal is to use the combination of nss_ldap and pam_ldap to authenticate
ssh users against an Active Directory domain ?

On www.padl.com the documentation pages mention using a product called
ad4unix by CSS-solutions.  But when I go to download the utility
css-solutions.com is not a valid web site. Does anyone out there know what
became of them or if it's safe to use ad4unix?

TIA

Josh
