Quoting Richard Sharpe <sharpe at ns.aus.com>:

Richard, you appear to have misunderstood the question. 
It would appear that he was after the status of the PAM 
stuff. \"to authenticate users on Unix via an NT 
Domain?\".

Dan Shearer was telling us the other night that it\'s now 
possible to do the following on PAM-based systems:

login: NT_DOMAIN\\Domain_User
password: NT_password

as well as things like chown and ls -l working.

Can anybody point myself and Edward Schernau in the 
right direction?

Thanks,
Matt
