[sllug-members]: PAM - Authconfig

[Jason Clint]

Does this still allow you to use openLdap?  This looks like a complete
replacement of openLdap, correct me if I'm wrong I will have to read
through this entirely when I come in tomorrow.

Hi Jason,

I have been working on this lately also.  I *think* the correct method
to do this, since samba 3.0.20, is to use the 
winbind method to connect linux to Windows AD.  That article looks a
little dated (2004).  This is what I have been using:

Also this has been really helpful to get all the new idmap stuff
working:

Here are our notes in case you are interested:

If anyone has any comment on which is the better method winbind v ldap I
would be interested in hearing it.
