Some suggestions

[Paul Schulz]

Hi Massimo,

Would you be able to enter these questions in the 'Answers' section of
Launchpad. I am very interested in any answers that you get, and
possible even throwing in some suggestions.

I work as a Sysadmin in a Linux development environment and would like
include LDAP (single sign-on) authentication. CentOS offers an easy
way of adding hosts using their 'auth-config' tool, and I would love
to have something similar, and any related tools like those you
mentioned.

Cheers,
Paul Schulz (aka. PaulSchulz, aka. pschulz01)
