How to have Ubuntu log into a Windows corporate network?

[pkaplan1]

My understanding is that you will need to use kerberos to authenticate.  This 
lets your *nix box get it's login credentials from AD.  To do this you'll also 
need to get your net admin to give you permissions to authenticate.

I run a rogue ubuntu machine at work and just use samba to mount network 
shares.  Once I mount the first share each day, I don't have to authenticate 
again.  Most other network services are web based and simply require login 
each time I use.  The only issue I have is in selecting the right web browser 
for each service since all were designed for IE and no one browser on my 
system handles every page correctly.

Good luck.
