I haven't worked with the WindowsSync feature much myself, so I'm not sure about the group type details your requesting. But what we're working on is syncing AD groups over to DS, and use the group member information to build our own nis netgroups. These netgroups are then used by PAM to authenticate users. </blockquote>What are the AD groups used for in AD? Are they Security Groups or Distribution Groups or both? Are they Global or Local (or Universal)? We're just trying to get a sense of what people use Groups for on both sides. <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid"> On 1/27/09, *Rich Megginson* <<a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:rmeggins@redhat.com" target="_blank">rmeggins@redhat.com</a> <mailto:<a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:rmeggins@redhat.com" target="_blank">rmeggins@redhat.com</a>>> wrote: We're currently investigating the group sync feature of Windows Sync, and we wanted to know how it is deployed.
