Wed Jul 18 17:27:21 EST 2007

Cant you just use open directory.  At South Oakleigh secondary we run apple and windows and 3 linux's off the one machine via parallells software.  It works.  We have a win 2003 server and an xserver as well

..and similar here Keith.  We have Novell, Windows, and Linux servers.  All authentication done via Novell; email on Groupwise, but use Linux for Moodle, Squid, Sarg, CUPS, PaperCut (to manage printing and web credits - works a treat).  And we are starting to deploy Mac workstations (laptops and desktop systems) that authenticate into Novell.  Have also started using VMserver after using VMworkstation for a couple of years.
