This was a very timely posting for me.  Last week, the IT person where I work quit and I have to manage our network which runs Windows and Active Directory.  My first thought was how to connect a Linux machine into the network.. I never did that before.  I began reading about authentication and kerberos.  Would this be a good tool to help me connect a Linux client to a Windows/Active Directory network? jay <div>On 8/31/07, Kristian Erik Hermansen <<a href="mailto:kristian.hermansen@gmail.com">kristian.hermansen@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> This topic has been hot lately, so I figured I would send out a notice that there is a tool that appears to do a lot of the work for you...
