Speaking for myself,...the problem with Linux is just the outright nuisance of dealing with it and the way that it cannot handle dealing with the AD accounts which causes the admin to create "duplicate" accounts/passwords locally on the linux box to control access.
I assume that has never been overcome in a "clean" way?
Ya, it can be done. I've run into a few glitches, but as you say, it can be a hassle. I guess it depends on the number of users. A standard samba setup with local user accounts is the simplest to set up. But if the organization has a 30-day password change policy or lots of users, that would be unmanageable.
