Configuring everything correctly on the workstation side is quite 
tricky. If you have laptops among your workstations, you'll have to deal 
with caching credentials, groups, users, sid mappings, and so on. 
Otherwise it will be a PITA when network connection to the DC is not 
available.

PAM and NSSwitch are very tricky beasts to tame properly! Currently, I'd 
say that the easiest way of dealing with all those tricky thing is to 
use the pbis from Powerbroker :
