Binding to an Active Directory

[Lars Friend <lfriend%mcci.com@localhost>]

Hello All,

	I was wondering if anybody knows of a comprehensive document 
explaining what steps need to be taken under NetBSD (I'm using 3.1 
for the time being) to bind to an Active Directory server.  The goal 
being to have users able to log in both at the console and via ssh 
using their domain credentials.  Since this is a conversion, not a 
new installation, it will be important to preserve existing User 
ID's.  There are several site-specific procedures to be followed on 
that for the moment (although I may eventually script them) preclude 
automatically creating UNIX accounts to match the domain accounts.

	I saw a little bit about this on the archives, but what I am missing 
is the basic pieces (where to start, what to pull out of pkgsrc, and 
what to build from original source), and possibly some background / 
extra-reading information so I can gain a deeper understanding of 
what it is that I am trying to accomplish, and what 
variations/parameters/flexibility exists.

	Any experiences, insight, or pointers to documentation would be much 
appreciated.

        Thanks,
                -lars
