There are a variety of directory server products out there. Fedora Directory Server is available from RedHat. LDAP with a nice java-ish user interface. Sun has a directory server available, as do Novell, and many others, including Microsoft. Linux,OSX,XP can/should be able to integrate with all of these. There are others as well. Simply depends upon how hard you want to work, how much you want to spend on fancy tools. > > Any ideas ?
