Can you elaborate on your bad experiences with PBIS (PowerBroker Identity
Services, formerly Likewise)?  (Unless you meant the main "PowerBroker"
product, which is more of a drop-in sudo replacement?)

We've been using PBIS for years and it does the job of allowing us to use
AD accounts to login to our Linux systems.  We manage access primarily via
AD groups.  We switched from the "Open" version to "Enterprise" last year,
but I'm not sure it was worth it (the main thing we were hoping for was
improved reporting, but the reporting piece is kinda useless for us right
now).

But, it's not an AD replacement - just a method of integrating your
Unix-like systems with AD.
