[Fedora-directory-users] Managing openLDAP et Active Directory users via Fedora DS

Hi, I am currently looking for a solution which allows me to manage both Windows Users in Active Directory and unix users in openLDAP, and users in the two worlds. In fact, we have softs plugged to an openldap server, and we need some functionalities offered by AD for Windows extensive users. It seems Fedora Directory Server will match the requirements. But I have a couple of questions on what can be done. - I have seen that AD users and groups synchro was possible, are passwords also synchro ? (will a user changing its password in Windows will be also changed in openldap ?) - does directory server fills the kerberos part of AD ? (we have cifs mounts to be done by Windows Users) - is it possible to replicate FDS base with a simple openldap server (with syncrepl) ? In fact, I realize I do not understand well yet what FDS is in deep, and is able to perform, and I'd be very happy if someone explained me a little further.
