One of the key features of the windows environment I have found myself envious of recently is single sign-on and rule/group/permission based user and device management. While a reasonable equivalent can be constructed with Samba, Kerberos, SSH, Puppet, etc, a unified system would be absolutely fantastic. What is the chance of support for tools like these in the web interface?

ClearOS is a good choice if you're looking for something like that - all users are stored in a central LDAP database which everything else authenticates against, and it has a nice webui.

Very likely :) The exact shape and architecture of how this will work is still undecided but it is definitely something I'm thinking about.
