To authenticate linux against Active Directory, look into PAM (pluggable authentication modules).
Just be careful - if you break PAM and don't have a backup, you then can't log in to your linux box! I can't give any advice about PAM, my only attempt to use it failed, but I know that's how you're supposed to do it.

That being said, we run it on Windows Server 2003. We recently tried to deploy it on Server 2008 which IBM says is possible in the docs. However it will not run on Server 2008. My suggestion to my boss was to try running it on CentOS 5, when I was promptly rebuked for the idea. I was told that if we were to do that our UV accounts could not authenticate against Active Directory. And that may be somewhat tue given that our authentication module was custom written. How are you authenticating against AD on Linux? I would be very interested in knowing, because I would love to move us off of UV for Windows and run it on Linux because there is so much that I personaly know that I can do running it on Linux that it takes major hoops to pull of on Windows but is realatively trivial on Linux, like PDF printing, Python scripting, Postgresql integration, Apache tricks, etc;.
