Those Redmond Rascals
Microsoft provides Services for Unix:
- AD aware NIS (not NIS+!) server.
- pam_sso PAM module for password synchronization to Windows.
- ssod daemon for receiving password updates from Windows.
True motive...
- NIS stinks. Keeps Unix systems using an insecure, limited, ancient authentication model (something they can use as leverage in getting rid of Unix at a site).
