How are you managing UID's on the NFS server? If user eharvey

assign the
correct UID's etc. When I did this in the past, I maintained a list
of
users in AD, and duplicate list of users in OD, so the mac clients
could
resolve names to UID's via OD. And a third duplicate list in NIS so
the
linux clients could resolve. It was terrible. You must be doing
something
better?
The way I did this type of integration in my environment was to setup
a Linux box with winbind and have NIS make maps just pull out the UID
ranges I wanted shared over NIS with all passwords blanked out. Then
all -nix based systems use NIS+Kerberos.
I suppose one could do the same with LDAP, but winbind has the
advantage of auto-creating UIDs based on the user's RID+mapping range
which saves A LOT of work in creating UIDs in AD.
