That works just fine :). We just converted to NDS for account management a
few months ago. It's holding info for *NIX ( mostly debian, sun coming up,
though ) and is feeding out [pb]dc.

What we haven't gotten yet is a way to create m$ accounts from LDAP ( or any
other automated method from *NIX ). Novell has a tool for this, but they
won't make it available to us :(. There are also some library hooks and
we're working on building a tool, but if someone has one we can use I won't
complain :).

Other than account creation/deletion NDS is working quite well for us. It's
Odoing much better for us than penLDAP was. It's also added issues for
backups, but the Novell guys seem to have that under control.
