Hi all,

I hope that this is the right place to ask this question. The rollout of 
our shiny new FreeBSD Boxen has been delayed by Sprint Canada's er, high 
quality service. ;-) In the couple of weeks while I wait for our new 
upstream provider to send around the install dude, I thought I'd take the 
time to further tweak our FreeBSD Setup.

We're currently running Mac Classic and OS X boxes, will be adding 2 
FreeBSD Boxes shortly and, as I transition away from the Classic Mac OS, 
those boxes will be retrofitted with Darwin, NetBSD or possibly Yellow Dog 
Linux, meaning that we'll have about 8 servers running a variety of *nixen.

All of this got me to thinking about some sort of authentication server to 
tie it all together, so I don't have to duplicate stuff across machines 
etc.

My question: is there any resource out there on the internet or any good 
books that will explain how to do this in a fashion that won't cause my 
eyes to gloss over and grow crusty. I know that all the above systems will 
integrate fine (classic mac excluded, but that's not an issue), but I need 
a real basic put tab A into slot B type tutorial to get me going.

Any suggestions???

TIA,


Tom Wiebe
