The more I think of it the more I like the idea, even in an AD I would 
setup SSOD so that I always have a duplicate for my account names & 
passwords. This would prevent vendor lock-in and allows me to be more 
flexible in my network design.
And even when disaster of disaster happens (losing the AD) I would still 
have account information. This would definitely feel me more 
comfortably. Having accounts in a unix syste, would also easen the path 
to migrating clients to OSS.
