If you're using Windows Services for Unix? You should be able to tap
into searching and inxeding your *.nix systems (and authenticating). Or
you could just use Samba.....

Well Corp is entirely a windows shop. Unfortunately a brain dead one :(
So I'm sure they'll be upgrading our sharepoint server. The only issue I
have is we *are* a multi-platform company, but yet we deploy so much
stuff that works for crap with *nix. Fortunately I'm a *nix guy and
we've deployed a bunch of stuff out of Raleigh that is OpenSource. 
What's funny is that all our products have Linux/Open source, yet your
developers in NJ all use Windows. Developers in Raleigh, and Germany all
use Linux. I'm really a best tool for the job guy, but I just hate
vendor lock in. Damnit we have standards for a reason, Use Them!, Don't
write your own half bastardized version of something that only works
with your other products. That's really what gripes me :( Anyways thanks
for your input. When I get closer to doing product evaluations, I may
ping you again.

Thanks,

Matt
