No, NDS (now called E-directory) is not just an implementation of LDAP. It
is LDAP compliant, but it is far more advanced than just LDAP.
BTW, Novell sells a product that will allow you to run NDS on a Linux box
and use it to manage the accounts. It's called Account management
(logically enough).

Isn't Novell's NDS basically just LDAP? If it is then pam_ldap will
work fine.
Be aware that if you have to worry about Samba NDS may not be an option.
Or maybe the other way around :)
Is the brokenness on the Win2k box something that's easy to fix?
