I know it's a puzzle with many pieces. I was just wondering what those pieces were.

But like I said, this was mostly about curiousity and discussion. I'm sad to say I've never had the chance to deal with a Linux network of more than a few computers, so I've never been forced to come up with a solution. A few years ago I had looked into LDAP just to understand what it could do, and you're right, it wasn't simple. The tools at the time were just downright painful. I don't mind the command line, but that sucked. And GUIs were worse. Maybe things have gotten better. Time for another google on that subject.
