[K12OSN] OS X LDAP & Linux Clients

[David Trask]

Essentially yes....you would just tell the K12LTSP server (via authconfig)
to authenticate to the OS X server....there should and would be no users
on the K12LTSP machine.  /home is left empty and you simply use it as a
mount point for home from the OS X server
