first thought is to use rhds or 389 to sync with AD. After stewing on
this for a little bit, I wonder is there any benefit that I will be
gaining by doing this. <br><br>Does anyone have experience and can
say why I should do this rather then just authenticate to AD? Again
I'd prefer linux, but I prefer not over-complicating core
infrastructure more.</div>
