Someone mentioned it had ldap/samba and a user management GUI tool
that worked out of the box.  Is that correct, and can you tell if
it would likely work to run one of these to create the accounts
and home directories which you would NFS mount from k12ltsp servers
configured to authenticate against ldap?  Or - would the ldap server
configuration be easy to port?

Yes Mike, It provides a webmin module to add users one at a time or in a batch via a text file.
There in lies issue # 1 for me. It creates it's own user names based on the firs and last name. It's bad enough around 
here when new passwords are required, I don't even want to start giving out new log-on names.
