active directory

Is there any ruby library that will let me authenticate against an
active directory server from a linux machine? I looked through the AD
gems but the documentation assumed that I knew what I was doing
already, and *seemed* to imply that I needed to be running this from a
windows box sitting in a windows domain.

I don't need to run queries or anything like that - simply
authenticate a user and get a yes/no answer.

The former. Will check out Net::LDAP - is there anything different I
have to do, or do I simply treat AD as just another LDAP server?
