Let's just say I'm not looking forward to driving this winter. Honestly, for as long as people have been around this area, why haven't they figured this shit out yet? I'm quite vulgar this morning, it seems. Chains aren’t that important right? :P

I once had a great setup with redundant Kerberos servers (and only Kerberos on those boxen, they were really locked down), redundant LDAP servers, and I had 3 linux clusters, a handful of IRIX boxen, and a bunch of Linux boxen all authenticating against it all. Very slick. However, in this case, it just somehow seemed simpler to go with the Windows AD, but I gotta admit, I just can't seem to get the same kind of simple insight into what the hell is going on on the AD box as I am used to with Linux. Very annoying. I may yet switch over. I just got roaming profiles working, with the profiles residing on the Linux box and auth coming from the AD. I’d almost prefer to go this way as well.

Samba integration was trivial. This was in an environment without an existing Windows server, of course :) I once set up the opposite (Windows clients authenticating to a Linux box running kerberos and stuff), and it wasn’t bad at all.

Good thing you chose the right path there. THe downside to motorcycles is you don't have the potential safety surrounding you like in a car. I recall when my neighbor clipped the tire of his friend's bike while on an outing in Montana, It sent both of them flying at 65MPH, both had to be airlifted. Both say they don't remember a thing... kinda like they were riding and suddenly in the hospital. Very lucky. But even so they continue riding like nothings ever happened. Be safe out there, I think you'd have a girlfriend who might finish the job for you if you did get in a wreck and limped away, lol. ~Ook Holy Crap! Good thing you chose the right path there.

To clarify: Amanda stood near me in line, and at various points I had to restrain her from saying something very demeaning or just being overtly physically hostile towards the other folks in line. Whole families were there, and everyone was waving at the trains coming in and out as if it was some kind of amusement park ride. Amanda, totally jaded to the fact that transportation via train can be enjoyable or novel, rebelled against this gaiety and was attempting to put the smackdown on these 'yokels'. Which is totally normal for her. Give a cookie to Amanda, she can use a dictionary.
