Subject: Re: Ruby Windows user information and Active Directory querying

Stijn, thanks for the info. However, I am not talking about Web
applications here (although I am not excluding them also - if there is
a solution in a Web-application-form which solves what I need, I'd be
glad to look at it). The thing I need is a console-like application
that queries AD and gets the groups for the current user. The
problems: how to get the current user (i.e. not having the user to
type his username), how to authenticate to AD (i.e. without the user
needing to enter his password) and how to access the info from AD.
It's not the login (authentication) that I need, just a query.
Basically, a Ruby version of *nix 'groups' program, just for Windows.
