[K12OSN] RE SME Server Authentication

[Kemp, Levi]

Les,

	It's not that I hate linux, I'm simply lazy. To be honest a lot
of Network Admins are. I avoid using CLI if I can, sometimes I cannot so
I learn it, use it, forget it, and move on.
	You have to admit though, if you can create something easy to
use and setup out of an OS that needs the push then why not. I'm with
Huck on this one. It's the end product that matters the most to your
users, how you get there doesn't matter to them. But if there is an
easier way that lets you do more and get more done, and doesn't break
the budget, well that's the way I'll go.
	For example, I used K12LTSP at home because some genius made it
so much simpler to get up and running then a plain Fedora 6 install.
Sure I understand it now, but to a newbie in Linux I was thrilled to
have things working so quickly.
	That's just my opinion of course and I don't want to start
anything by it but I think that I'd have and easier time of getting an
admin to switch to Linux servers if they could configure them without
ever using a Linux OS before.

I've always considered SME server to be 'Linux for people who don't like

Linux', and the big thing missing is NFS for Linux clients.  I think it 
may be possible to add that in now.
