<p>X-No-Archive<br></p><p>Here's a topic I could really use some group opinions on. What's the best way to join a Linux box to a Windows AD domain so that the users (who are stuck with Windows machines) can access it in the most seamless fashion? A factor would be eliminating a second login or the need for duplicate accounts (Unix and AD) on a box serving as an application or mail server or a file server or a file server where AD authentication (Kerberos) would be involved. I've been able to wing it with Samba and duplicate accounts, and that's been OK to work with but it feels like there's got to be a better way to integrate Linux into the Win domain so that changes made in the active directory affect the users, groups, and maybe even permissions on the linux box. Then again that may be asking too much.</p>
