i would prefer to use the sun stuff and i don't care about NIS ... but i
want easy and reliable (heh).  do you actually have this working?  is
there documentation anywhere about how to get this to work?  i found a
high level document from sun describing the things that need to be done
for this to be accomplished but it had zero information on technically
what was required to make the steps happen.

pointers would be much appreciated.  is there a better list around for me
to ask for help as i go through this process?
