On the server side, Fedora has come along way forward with the inclusion
of the FreeIPA project a few releases back now. Setting up a functional 
Kerberos server, backed by an LDAP database, is as simple as running
'yum install ipa-server' followed by  'ipa-server-install' and confirming
answers to a couple of noddy questions like 'what is your FQDN', etc. I
got myself a KDC up & running with IPA in a matter of minutes with near
zero knowledge of either Kerberos or LDAP :-) Setting up a client is
similarly simple with 'ipa-client-install' (or the traditional
system-config-auth).

Regards,
Daniel
