Microsoft&#39;s Technet Magazine has <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-au/magazine/dd228986.aspx" target="_blank">a
lengthy article</a> on authenticating Linux clients with Active Directory.
&quot;<span>Originally, Linux (and the GNU tools and libraries that run on it)
was not built with a single authentication mechanism in mind. As a result
of this, Linux application developers generally took to creating their own
authentication scheme. They managed to accomplish this by either looking up
names and password hashes in /etc/passwd (the traditional text file
containing Linux user credentials) or providing an entirely different (and
separate) mechanism.</span>&quot;</div>
