Thank you.

Final question. Suppose I use just the ipa-client package with sssd-ad 
pointing to Samba4 (or even real Windows AD). Is that likely to be a 
satisfactory solution for managing the *nix boxes, or would I be better 
of with two separate domains?

For example, would I lose the features that FreeIPA gives me like 
host-based access controls, sudo controls, central storage of ssh public 
keys?

Thanks,

Brian.
