While AD compatibility is nice, let's all remember THAT is what's desirable. AD _compatibility_, not AD itself.<br><br>Let's not use Microsoft as the role model (again).<br><br>But interesting to see this team forming. Easy and solid directory services for Linux have been missing for WAY to long. (Let's face it, NIS + NFS just doesn't cut it)

<br><br>Unfortunately yes. If I want to deploy Ubuntu Desktops in my firm, which<br>is a part of bigger company, my desktops need to be able to authenticate<br>against AD servers. If I want to be able to keep my ubuntu servers
<br>working here, I need them to be able to serve as a full AD servers in<br>distributed AD network, with native MS 2003 servers nodes.<br>Maybe in anvironment where network is built from scratch, something<br>other can be proposed, but when connecting to existing network, you need
<br>to have one of widely used solutions working. One of them is AD. Sorry.<br><br>Regards<br><br>Damian Wojslaw<br><br><br>--<br>ubuntu-devel mailing list<br><a href="mailto:ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com
