Besides the file system related issues, how about the user database integration? How well does Project Cascade fit into a NIS+/FNS based environment? What it the relation between the NIS+ based user accounts and those available via Cascade acting as a PDC on the Windows side? Who controls things like password aging?

Any ideas?
