[X Servers] Mounting Home Directories with SMB via LDAP

[Beck, Forrest]

Thanks.  

Do you think that it would be wise to have the client authenticate to my OSX server and the OSX server contain a Network Netinfo Database (for wgm) and Authenticate the clients against AD?  This would fix alot of problems I am having, if it is at all possible.......  The only thing I am looking to accomplish is to centralize my password database.  I still want to keep my functionality of wgm.  i guess I should also let you know, I am doing this all without Services for Unix.  I am hoping that when my SFU order comes in it will tie up alot of loose ends.

Forrest
