The instructions here:

Have been very helpful to me... obviously they are Linux specific but are a
good jumping off point for Samba/Kerberos

Watch how the pam files are setup on your distribution/flavor as there could
be other things (like a system-operators file) or some such.

That would be helpful if you can send them on.  In my site, I'll be
using LDAP to unify multiple domains, while still providing redundancy
and tolerance to network outages.

Thanks for the pointer.  I'm not going to worry as much about the TLS
stuff, since I'm still stuck with NIS and it's known issues too, along
with NFSv3 as well.  Heck, some users are still using telnet and ftp
for stuff.  So no, we're not very secure internally.   We do need to
work better towards that state though.

Thanks for the pointers, reading the docs shows me that I'll need
*both* pam_ldap and nss_ldap in my setup, which isn't too bad at all.

Thanks,
John
