I have a FreeNX Server with authentication against a rather complex
AD-Service in production use.
I use pam_winbind, and I'm pretty happy with it.
I have documented it here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto

I also wrote https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ActiveDirectoryHowto, this solution
is more complex and the quality of this How-To is not yet fine.

Both are written for Ubuntu breezy and Windows 2003 Server, but it
should also work for other distris.

Please give me feedback whether the How-Tos are not good enough or if
they could help you.

cheers,
