There is one "gotcha" to look out for: The linux time has to be extremely close to the AD domain controller.  if it isn't, linux can't join or authenticate.


That out of the way, authconfig-tui is VERY handy... It takes the drudgery out the process.


I used to do it by editing a bunch file files, running command line programs and waving dead chickens over sacrificial animals.


The utility is faster, easier and less messy.


Look into a pam plugin called oddjob.  It does the automounting of network shares.  yum search oddjob.
