Alberto, I agree with most you said. I think everyone who reads the list
knows the saying "Your distro - your rules".
In fact what you said is exactly what I was thinking at first. No
Kerberos, no LDAP. I won't need them, because I have never heard of them.
But in general this is not a good approach.
I came to the point to ask what do I get with them and what do I loose
without them?
Having an answer you can decide. Decisions like "I don't need them
because I don't know what they are", are wrong in my opinion.
Of course I did googling. But what I found at first were only recipes
how to configure and how to install the packages.
I needed some background knowledge. What to read to get that background
knowledge. I thought that there is nothing bad in asking that question here.
I found the answer in a book: Practical Unix and Internet Security.
But of course you all have already read that book.
Sorry for bothering a list with the question I asked.

P.S.
I repost my answer because the list-server was down a few days and the
answer did not appear.
