    We are currently running NIS/NFS to handle central authentication
    amongst our servers. All the server admins have accounts that are
    automatically shared between the servers.

    For a number of reasons, including security, I'm looking to replace
    this with an LDAP/Kerberos solution, most likely, Mac OS X. Has anyone
    implemented LDAP/Kerberos as a replacement for NIS? What are your
    opinions? Are there any drawbacks? Kerberos is a lot of buzzwords, and
    I want to make sure that it actually works as promised in the real
    world.

    This would run across about 20 RHEL3 machines.
