Hi Andy,

Yeah, my experience is with Active Directory and Windows clients, and
to be honest, management wise it's pretty good. (It just costs a
fortune and forces you into MS product usage.)

I'd love to be able to do the same kinda thing with Linux.

I've come across some stuff but it all looks a bit disjointed.
Hopefully it'll get better though ;-) Looking at the Hardy specs it
looks like the powers that be see this too.
