Not an answer, but a question:

What is the difference (advantages, disadvantages, and purpose) of LDAP when compared to NIS, or are the things for different jobs? Which is better, and why? Or have I misunderstood. Where does Kerberos fit in?

As you can tell, I've run a Linux server for Windows clients, but never actually pieced together a Linux network of scale.
