Setting up the Linux and Solaris clients to use LDAP is not really a problem. Connecting AD to LDAP looks much more complicated, after one week of testing and experimenting it gets quite annoying ;)
Yeah this is totally OT.
SunONE has a sync tool for AD... there are some other meta directory products out there. Last I looked, though, OpenLDAP's back-meta wasn't up to this.
There's no point in religous wars about what's open and what's not. The point behind LDAP is that the standard is open- Who cares what's behind it... AD speaks LDAP, and AD makes an OK LDAP server for Unix hosts. If you have to support a lot of windows clients, it's the best choice right now, until someone comes up with a replacement.
