[ale] Enterprise Authentication

[Nathan J. Underwood]

I'd also like to get the communities input on this.  One of my clients 
is VERY interested in moving away from M$ (they're still NT4, and have 
to upgrade, but they have to keep 1 2k server in house because of a 
proprietary app that they use).  They don't have the $$ to upgrade 
everything to a 2k or 2k3 environment, but have to keep the one box, so 
no chance of going 100% *nix.  Since the clients will all stay Win32, 
I'm looking at SAMBA for the file / print sharing, but I'm still looking 
into options for auth and single sign on.
