There's several different types of Single-Signon technology (Many of the
products are designed solely to be used with a Windows NT/2k domain
structure already in place using PAM (Pluggable Authentication
Module)plugins primarily as the authentication on a linux server but
allowing access if you have already authenticated to a windows network.) I
would say, there are some other options (Kerberos etc...). But if your
goal is Win2k/NT workstations being authenticated by a *nix OS, there are
several open sourced projects that allow for this already (only one off the
top of my head = winbind).
Winbind is a PAM plug designed (primarily) for the use in an old VaLinux
project nsswitch (written by the Samba developers, if I remember properly.)
But I haven't been able to compile a working CVS in a while (it's in the
samba tree).
