To elaborate the question: Is it possible to have a Pass-Through authentication system as with OpenLDAP?

Another post by Microsoft: I am hoping this setting can help me read the user passwords to authenticate against.

Hi,
Is it possible to have Fedora DS and have the password lookup redirected to Active Directory? Some kind of proxy lookup. Take the case of Mac OS X server and clients, they have Open Directory and the password manager can authenticate against the Active Directory.
Is it possible to have FDS without the password?
So I would like to know, is it possible to achieve the same for FDS using Samba, Winbind or NSS?? Is it possible that the FDS has all the user permissions and special groups but the authentication is turned to AD. I know the passwords are hashed by Kerberos and hope we can achieve this with some effort.
A useful post by Microsoft
