Reading up on this command will give you all the power of the GUI, but

I strongly urge upgrading to 5.7, for a whole slew of improved
integrations involving Kerbers and especially features like NFSv4, and
I especially urge upgrading to SL 6.1 to get single-sign-on key
handling for OpenSSH, which requires OpenSSH 5.x.
