[Fedora-directory-users] Need Pointers For Migrating To FDS from NIS

[George Holbert]

Vadim,
This is a pretty big topic.
Gary Tay has put together some docs that are a great starting point:
http://web.singnet.com.sg/~garyttt/

Sun's docs regarding Solaris clients will also be useful for you:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4556

One other thing:

If you mean that you will be using AD as your directory server, you 
won't necessarily need to run a separate directory server like FDS.

Good luck!
