I'm deploying it now. Yes, it does make things much easier if you're in a shop that is primarily Windows with a significant *NIX minority. Authenticating against Active Directory through NIS/KerbV is easy. When I have some more time I want to try to use LDAP instead of NIS. You even get a nice MMC snap-in so the Windoze sysadmins can manage *NIX user metadata using the same tool that they use to manage Windoze accounts. -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
