advice on LDAP install
Hello
I have been assigned to move our NIS accounts to LDAP. I have used LDAP and NIS but I have never set them up.
This is my environment:
- 5 Solaris 9 servers
- 40 Solaris 10 Severs, many are zones
- 8 Red Hat servers ( AS 4 & 5.5)
- 10 to 20 users
Basically I want to set this up with as little money as possible. I'm not to knowledgeable abut this so I don't want to get in over my head.
I'm looking at OpenLDAP, ApacheDS and OpenDS right now. I looked into the Sun Directory sever and Oracle wants to much for it.(2k per processor) That's a bit much for only 20 users.
I'm looking for some advice, on what to do, or things to look out for.
Any help would be great thanks.

It will be possible for me to install the OS from that install tree?
