Hello,

My University uses Active Directory.  I use Linux.

I would like my SL server to use the active directory to determine
which usernames are valid for things like logins.

I'm already using the University's Kerberos infrastructure to verify
passwords, but I have to make sure the user names are in /etc/passwd.
I'd like to not have to add the users to /etc/password.

It would be even better if I could get group information from Active
Directory, but I can probably live without it.

Anyone know if this is possible?  Know what needs to go into the
setup, or know of a good howto?
