Also - if you want to do something a little more fancy - stick a LDAP server in front - have all your *NIX servers talk LDAP-SSL to the LDAP (such as the Fedora Directory Server or if you want support Red Hat Directory Server) and then have the directory server talk to the AD servers. It actually is pretty slick - that way you also can have a "copy" of all your credentials on the LDAP server - so if the AD server goes down, you can still get into the *UNIX boxes. Lots of options of course with Linux, and companies out there are doing this several different ways.
