[Gloucs] Linux 'Domain Login'

[John Patrick]

It was more a conversation about what is the Linux way of doing it. Not
specific setup to solve. More a learning excerise, of what might you do to
archive a similar setup.

e.g. if I had to setup an office, 5 desktops, 1 file server, 1 network
printer, totally using linux/unix how could you do the centralised
authentication. Allow people to log into any desktop and get their brower
and mail settings.
