I also share Romans grief about Kerberos. I have 32 K12 schools that
are in need of some dialup solutions. I have Linux, Sun, Novell,
etc...but I need a solution that can be !MANAGED! by school based
folks. Teachers have precious little time to teach as it is. They
don't all want to be techies.
If anyone shares my dilemma and has a solution PLEASE share it!!
