Kerberos, ADS and NFSv4

[Jerry Haltom]

I've written down a braindump of some of my thoughts on this subject
(over a year ago) at wiki.ubuntu.com/domainauthenticationutility.
You're welcome to write down more, or assist.

I don't believe there is a Canonical push in this area yet. I think
though that if there was some community activity, it wouldn't be hard to
get official support + assistance for it.
