Where are the 'Modern' Directory Services?
MarcQuadra asks: "I've been a Linux user since 1998, and I admin Mac OS X machines at work, but I have yet to find a distribution that comes out-of-the-box with modern directory services. Sure, there are guides to kerberize and set up OpenLDAP, but before I can start pushing Linux as an alternative at work I'll need a few things. Are there any distributions out there that can auto-mount SMB shares as home directories without heavy modification? How about a distro that's based on OpenLDAP and can easily be configured with LDAP-enabled SAMBA and Kerberos? Am I missing something, or is this not a priority with the community at-large?"
Why not go the way of the market and just go with ADS?

This "early post" is brought to you by the ECFA (Euthanasia for Canis Familiaris Association)/GNAA (Great Negro Association of America). This combined organization, resulting from the 2004 merger of the ECFA and the GNAA, is committed both to celebrating black history and to the improvement of our society through eliminating overpopulation of animals to improve their lives and the lives of humans. The ECFA/GNAA is committed to improving our society, leaving it better than we found it. We use the Slashdot trolling capabilities of the GNAA to spread our message of improvement.
Do you want to Commemorate great negros
Are you sick of overpopulation of household pets.
Are you willing to take radical measures to keep these pests at bay?
If you answered YES to any of the above questions, the ECFA(Euthanasia for Canis Familiaris Association)/GNAA is for you!
You can work toward the noble of goal of INCREASING OUR SUPPLY OF O2! OVERPOPULATION of DOGS is RAPANT in this country. Did you know that DOGS turn BENEFICIAL O2 into CO2 simply to gain their energy to bark, drool, and howl? They ACTUALLY BURN OUR OXYGEN SUPPLY!!! One dog easily waste the Oxygen output of ten mature trees! This country has MANY UNWANTED, ABANDONED DOGS that WE ARE PAYING MONEY TO KEEP ALIVE. We are FEEDING them our food supply while making the homeless STARVE! Are you TIRED of having your TAXES increased? Humane Societies cost our country over $100 million annually. By using a Dog Killing Gadget, a dog can be turned into beneficial food, helping us all. We let children go hungry yet feed our **UNWANTED** dogs like royalty.
We hunt deer when they become overpopulated. Why should dogs be any different? We don't have deer pounds to send 'homeless' deer to. Yet to most people, dogs are personified to the extreme. We advocate treating dogs like the animals they are.
In addition, we would like to commemorate Malcolm X, a great example of the great negro. The ECFA/GNAA is committed to preserving our GNAA heritage by recognizing Great Negros.
WANT TO SUPPORT THE ECFA? Simply participate in our propaganda campaign to exterminate dogs. You can become a member of our slashdot trolling team, our usenet trolling team, or you can be a member of our local campaigning - by simply handing out brocures or posting signs outside humaine socities. If you have MOD POINTS, alternatively you can moderate this post UP to support our cause.
Important Note: The ECFA has recently "connected" with the GNAA to form one ECFA. Stay connected. Please note that since we are moving to a larger demographic (the untold scores of people who deal with dog messes, noises, and annoyances daily), most of the current GNAA content is offline. In fact, we're pulling all of it except the "early post", which is now a ECFA-style "early post". The traditional GNAA "early post" will continue to be posted on all SCO stories, as insisted by upper GNAA management and its core team of fans. The illicit images and language will not be a part of the new combined organiztion. We do not condone any sexual lifestyle or race.

active directory dude
get with the program
im sure you can work with ADAM
M$ have a good directory intigration tool
This was asked (actually a subset) at a LinuxWorld BOF this week. There seemed to be a lot of knowledgeable folk there, and the answer was... a lot of glazed stares. One guy said he'd been around the floor all day asking this query and found no real solution. Unfortunatly Linux is still for Hax0rs.
This is plain wrong. It would be informative if he stated some facts to back up his claim. Instead, its just an empty claom that active directory is something more than kerb+ldap. This is not the case, AD is kerb+ldap, there is nothing special to it, except that they broke the ssl transport for ldap.
