[Beowulf] Active directory with Linux

[Cunningham, Dave]

There can be a lot of variation in how AD is set up in various
environments.  The way yours is set up and your ability to influence it
will come in to play.  An all open source solution might be preferable
for many reasons, but if you are interested in COTS the vintela product
from Quest is pretty interesting.

I'm not sure, but there is a rather long article on it in this month's
Linux Pro magazine.  However, the article only lists the need for
Kerberos, NSS, PAM and Samba to make everything work.  It actually is a
nice article, and I might give its suggestions and methodology a try in
a Windows-server-based site I help with.
