Article: Join Linux to Active Directory with Winbind
This article covers the process of joining a Linux workstation to Active Directory using Winbind.
"Samba and winbind provide authentication and identity resolution for Linux hosts that are part of an Active Directory domain, since Active Directory does not deign to provide a method for authenticating them directly.

Boston Area Windows Server User Group - May 4th, 2005
My talk yesterday on Active Directory Hacks to BAWSUG went well. Good group of people. Thanks to Lucien for giving me a ride. They may invite me back in the fall for one of their day-long Active Directory seminars.
It would be nice if RTP had a similar group...unfortunately I don't have the time to organize such an effort at this point.
