[brlug-general] Active Directory Mandated at LSU

I wrote Brian Nichols last night, and I'll be happy to share his answers when 
and if I get them.

I'm mostly concerned with user freedom.  While the move might make things 
technically difficult for Windows users, they are not going to surrender 
anything that Microsoft has not already claimed by EULA, and technical 
measures.  Window's poor security record also makes the plan sound reasonabe.  
The same things can not be said of GNU/Linux and plans to administer those 
machines would be far more sinister.  There is no justification for trying to 
administer GNU/Linux machines owned by students.  Plans and intent, those are 
the issues I hope Mr. Nichols will answer.

What I hope to get here is a technical understanding of the issue.  That 
includes how it's really playing out in the field.
