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???
