- Samba already supports policies for Linux, but it's not a "finished product", not actively maintained and it does not have Bor's tamper protection of the managed files. - IaC tools like Ansible/Puppet are good alternatives, but coding the whole configuration is not comfortable for some system administrations. Especially those with Windows Server AD background. Also, setting up strict policies avoids running of arbitrary code on the target systems, which is good for enterprise compliance certification. - It's not a domain controller because there are no user entities, only nodes. Bor works together with Windows AD/ Samba or FreeIPA. It supports LDAP and Kerberos authentication. Domain-joined machines could automatically enroll without setting the temporary token, issued from the UI.
