It's easy to use Kerberos for authentication and LDAP for role assignments. However, I also need to do this _offline_, without connection to the Kerberos and/or LDAP server.
Windows caches credentials after the first login, so it can log you in even if AD server is not available.
As far as I understand, there's no way to do this with PAM.
"Egh, Active Directory is just LDAP with Kerberos and some proprietary crap thrown on top to make in hard to interoperate with other OS's."
Yep, and Linux is just a couple of C files, written by underpaid engineers in their spare time.
ActiveDirectory is much more than 'just LDAP with Kerberos'. It has nice management tools and integrates with almost all Microsoft applications. And most important: it actually works just fine. And you can easily interoperate with AD because using simple LDAP.
I've tried to make a replacement for AD in Linux network. Even after spending a week I was not completely successful. For example, I still have no idea how to make offline logins using cached credentials. Or how to integrate Kerberos authentication and IPSec.
"Again, there is no massaging of muscles involved with chiropractic. Only direct rapid adjustments design to push misaligned vertebra back into alignment."

"Our methods of evaluating efficacy have been demonstrated to be false repeatedly. The miracle drug prozac doesn't even beat placebo in studies anymore."
WRONG! You're so wrong, that it burns.
You're telling me that double-blind studies do not work by providing an example of double-blind study. Way to go.
Also, your example is trivially wrong - do a PubMed search yourself.
Corruption continued happily under their power, as well as an unpopular war. And most important - there were no significant changes in workers' rights.
Bolsheviks at least tried to solve these problems.
In short, democrats and moderate socialists were given power when the Tsar had been deposed. But they squandered it. And were deposed in turn next year during the October Revolution.
Criminal punishments for skipped workdays were in effect from 1940 to 1946 - essentially during the WWII.
Later, there were punishments for 'social parasitism' if you were unemployed for more than 4 consecutive months (not counting vacations, medical leaves, full-time education, etc.). And the Soviet government guaranteed employment for everyone.
So stop telling fictional horror stories. There were enough real horror stories about the Soviet regime.
Workers in Tsarist Russia were forced to work 16-18 hours six of seven days a week to be able just to feed themselves. For them there were no paid vacations, no pensions, no healthcare, no nothing. Do you think that anybody in their right mind would agree to work additional 8 hours in a coal mine just for fun?
"I work probably 9-10 hours a day, but at least I get something out of it" - that's because workers' movements had won in the USA and other Western countries. You were lucky that it had happened just before the advent of Communism.
Imagine that 1000000 people in the NYC get the flu _at_ _the_ _same_ _time_ (which is possible, estimates put the number of simultaneously ill people between 6% and 30%). Imagine that 5% (somewhat low estimate) of these people require hospitalization - that's 50000 people at any given time. It's more than enough to overwhelm hospitals and cause additional mortality simply because there won't be enough beds.
Or in brief, the main problem is almost non-existent immunity for this strain in the population. So probably YOU will get it once the flu season starts.

Yes, I know.

Actually, you need a much larger gene pool to prevent dangerous inbreeding.
Also, WM's has very small commissions on payments. Far smaller than CC processing fees.
It's actually possible to use it for 1 cent transactions.

Skype uses anti-debugging tricks, but they can be bypassed.
For example, their Linux version has much weaker protection than the Windows version.
Or maybe IPv4 to IPv6?
If you have a fucked up network configuration you can either workaround it or fix it.
"What if one of those independent networks is running IPv4? Fail."
Use 6to4 or any other interoperability technology.
"A double blind study that didn't work..."
That's incorrect by definition.

"Of course there are different degrees of spinal misalignment and the more severe forms are obvious to even a laymen such as yourself."
I _had_ a spinal misalignment (fairly mild form of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoliosis ). It was cured by good old physical therapy.
And I'm obviously not telling my own opinions. The fantasy of 'subluxations' is well known in medicine.
"If something is f*cking around with the body's "command and control" functions then all bets are off."
If there's something wrong with spinal cord, than it's a job for neurosurgeon and not a chiropracticer.
"We probably don't understand the underlying mechanics well enough for anyone to boldly claim these notions suggested by chiropractors as bogus."
We do not NEED to thoroughly understand things to determine their efficacy. That's exactly why we have double-blind studies.
And chiropractice is not effective - it's been shown multiple times. It's just a form of massage.
There is NO vertebral subluxation.
Or more exactly: usually "vertebral subluxation" is just a fiction. In fact, it's so vague that some chiropracticers use 'spiritual' explanations.
Real clinical subluxation is visible on X-ray images usually is extremely severe.
There are many different forms of massage. So no surprises here...
"Misaligned vertebrae can cause almost any symptom since controlling impulses and sensations all travel through nerve bundles coming from the spine."
Uhm. But that's wrong.
Chiropractice is just a massage. It can have beneficial effects if you have muscle pain or joint pain. Has nothing to do with subluxations, of course.
I had a horrible back pain once (strained a muscle). It was cured after two sessions of massage (with a professional massager).
No. You father survived 5 more years because of my magic coin.
I KNOW IT'S TRUE! There are other ways of knowing, that are not accessible to you.
PS: you now owe me $50000.
There's a lot of modern music which borrows heavily from classics and is as rich as most of classical pieces.
For example: Nightwish, Falconer, Rhapsody, Aina, ...
Java has quite nice bindings to C++ now in form of JNA ( https://jna.dev.java.net/ ), it's actually about as powerful as .NET interop.
Of course, managed C++ is even better still.
Corruption continued happily under their power, as well as an unpopular war. And most important - there were no significant changes in workers' rights.

Yup. As I've said, there were no criminal penalties until the WWII started.
Earlier rules of being fired for being late once were also not that unusual. For example, South Korea had similar rules in 1970-s.
"There were lots of pro-democracy and moderate socialists who on the rise before the Bolsheviks seized power."
Read about the February Revolution ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_Revolution ).
In short, democrats and moderate socialists were given power when the Tsar had been deposed. But they squandered it. And were deposed in turn next year during the October Revolution.
Maybe you should learn some Soviet history?
Criminal punishments for skipped workdays were in effect from 1940 to 1946 - essentially during the WWII.

Have you ever wondered WHY Bolsheviks had won?

There are alternatives: inductive engines. They are known since nineteenth century.
It's just cheaper to use permanent magnets.
