haven't done it myself, but there's an interesting and useful howto
article[1] on authenticating linux/unix clients (using an AD plugin
called AD4UNIX[2]) against MS AD at securityfocus.com
there's no need to export or synchronise anything because the
authentication is performed directly against the AD server using the
LDAP protocol. you'll need to install the openldap client and the PAM &
NSS ldap modules on the linux machines.

hope that helps.
