However, let me take another angle now ... Active Directory is just Microsoft's version of the 'network database', a way to keep housekeeping in a centralized manner (like NIS). Agreed? Anyone out there, who uses AD, in stead of /etc/{passwd,group}, and observes that the grandchild of the listener is executed by user "sshd"? Anyone out there, who uses AD, in stead of /etc/{passwd,group}, and is brave enough to delete the sshd account? Is ssh still working? Now you might say that I am "a bit aggressive" above (yes, I _do_ feel a bit peevish). However I would like to see arguments that stick and/or proof that shows me wrong. Larry Hall replied with an argument, you did not (neither did Andrey Repin).
