[KLUG Members] Managing AD from Linux?

A department at work recently purchased a software package that REQUIRES
Active Directory - they won't support any other LDAP server.  So we now
have an Win2003 AD server (and a couple other W2K+3 servers) running on
their own little isolated subnet.

I've been trying to find a way to manage users on the AD server from
Linux.  The best I've come up with so far is VNCserver on W2K+3-AD, 
and that's a real pain for any extended usage.

I have ldaps: (SSL-636) working on AD, and can connect to it from
Evolution.  Searches work, but I can't save anything.  All boxes in the
EV contact properties seem to be read-only, and the OK button is not
active. (yes, I'm connecting as a user/admin with permissions to change)

Any suggestions on a Linux package to manage users on a AD server?
