I had a similar requirement but only for the hell of it for several machines at home. All Debian (at the time) with NFS homes. It made installing/upgrading the clients very easy. There are several guides on the net but the one I found most useful for me (the uninitiated) were the pages at spinlock (no affiliation). http://techpubs.spinlocksolutions.com/dklar/kerberos.html These pages give a bit more explaination and debugging help than the Debian and Ubuntu references. The order of installation and testing of the components is particularly helpful. -- Best Regards Martin Hodges _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
