If you have an existing local user with the same name that the one in AD, it is as easy as install pam-kerberos and set default domain on krb5.conf (AD has proper SRV records). If you want any AD user to log in without local account, you will need also pam_mkhomedir and configure nss-ldap against the AD. You only need to properly map the attributes (I've no url, but it is not hard to find on inet, and there is a hundreds paged document from MS about AD-Unix integration where the mappings are given). You will need anonymous access to AD, or fully integrate the linux machine on the domain. If you want this, you can use either samba `net ads join` or the ADKadmin utility (http://www.css-security.com/cgi-bin/dnld_list.pl), which is a command line kadmin that engages a domain controller instead of a standard kerberos admin server.
