I don't know to what extent OpenBSD will integrate with AD, but OpenBSD
doesn't have PAM (so the standard login-via-AD PAM module doesn't help),
and I don't think it uses nsswitch in the same way as Linux does.
OpenBSD does allow the user to supply authentication programs, and I
suppose some sort of WINS resolution must be possible, so I don't think
all is lost. But it will be quite difficult and might require custom
programming.
