I'm going to recommend running one or the other.  I will sacrifice
some degree of flexibility in Likewise Open to ensure that joins and
subsequent logins just work with a little overhead as possible.

In the future we will be making the admin tools available to
run on Linux to configure uid and gid information in AD according
to the Likewise data model which will provide some overlap with
existing RFC2307 schema support (but also requres adding some
of these attributes to the PAS in global catalog).
