May I ask what unix services are for in the Windows World? You can actually purchase it, not sure what it does though. Anyone know? I had thought that this covered these type of situations where you needed to authenticate with WIN2K AD...could be wrong though.

Head on over to the Samba-technical list archives (lists.samba.org) and take a look at recent discussions on using winbindd, kerberos, and AD. The Samba head code is able to talk to AD, and winbindd is a daemon that sits between nsswitch and pam to make Unix boxes into full-fledged NT domain members. My guess is that the winbindd in the head branch will talk to AD as well.
