Likewise Open is an application that joins Linux, Unix, and Mac OS machines to Microsoft Active Directory and securely authenticates users with their domain credentials. Features include: joining non-Windows systems to Active Directory domains in a single step from the command line or from a GUI; authenticating users with a single user name and password; enforcing the same password policies for all platforms; supporting multiple forests with one-way and two-way cross forest trusts; caching credentials in case your domain controller goes down; and providing single sign-on for SSH and Putty. It does not require Active Directory schema changes for installation.

Changes:
Now, when a bad username/password are given to domainjoin, it will report "password is incorrect for this account" instead of "call to krb5 failed." This release also fixes an FD leak from bad control rights message, handles user enumeration when a username has no "@", and fixes a buffer overflow in group enumeration. Local provider has been moved to be after AD provider.
