Agreed, kerberos integration can be a pain. With W2K MS made it seem a lot easier than it actually is due to its deep integration and the fact that admins and users don't really have to think anything about it. The story isn't the same on other platforms in the slightest. Things are usually doable, it is just a matter of how much time/money are people willing to invest to make it work. It is usally far easier/better to look at the packages from the folks who have taken the time to work this out. That being Vintela (now Quest) and Centrify.

OS, so if it supports Kerberos it would be good approach as joe said. -- Tomasz Onyszko http://www.w2k.pl/blog/ - (PL) http://blogs.dirteam.com/blogs/tomek/ - (EN) List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
