All, I'm in the process of improving my Linux administration skills (well actually create them) and am trying to understand the different authentication mechanisms that are available (kerberos, standard UNIX, LDAP, PAM, SASL, shadow passwords, etc...), when to implement these different mechanisms, and what their advantages/disadvantages are. Does anyone have any recommendations for where to start in this learning process (books, links, etc...)?
My goal is the following: Have a server that hosts authentication information for both windows and linux clients. This authentication information would be used for both client computer login (act as a windows domain) and email (IMAP and SMTP).
