We still use the Likewise ™ Suite of products--   still running an older 
version 5…    anyway, much like Matt, I’d like to echo “it just works”.

There are some important notes:

We started with Likewise Open--  which yes, was FREE.     But if you wanted to 
include the ability to do UID/GID mapping, you also needed the “uid/gid module” 
– which is a commercial ($$) product.     Not super expensive.    And..   it 
WORKS.

With the acquisition by BeyondTrust, and also some licensing tweak/changes 
Likewise was doing anyway---   they got rid of their “uid/gid” module (which 
was a sort of “in the middle” product offering…   somewhere between the free 
Open, and the full commercial product).     If you want/need uid/gid mapping, 
you now need their full product.

That said, their .edu pricing isn’t bad.     If you’re doing *nuix/AD auth--  I 
recommend you at least try their free product.
