Ray, Alternatives are Centrify and Vintella. They have a cost. Likewise to my knowledge is the only one that offers a free client. I do not believe it was integrated into RHEL. I am trying to use it and have had mixed success. Some domains I can join with no issue others that have been "locked" down are not allowing me to join a domain. Speculation of late is that if the AD is running in "native" mode, an object must be created in AD first before the Linux box can join the domain. Whereas if the AD is in "mixed" mode then an object is created when the server joins the domain. Paul W. On Thu, 2009-05-28 at 09:22 -0700, Ray Van Dolson wrote: > Hi all.
