Hi,

I'm looking to deploy two kerberos servers (primary/secondary) for a
small biz (~10, growing to 15-20). I'm obviously thinking of using
OpenBSD because of its security track-record. But I'm wondering if I
could use low-end hardware (233mhz geodes, aka Soekris boxes) that is
less likely to fail than something with actual disk drives/fans/internal
power supplies/etc.

But I really know diddly about how much load kerberos puts on a machine.
I wouldn't think much of anything for small #s of users based on what
I've read on the kerberos mailing lists/howtos I've read, but I thought
I'd ask for some BTDT with kerberos on OpenBSD.

This would be MIT kerberos, as I'm under the impression it's needed to
work with some existing solaris/win2k stuff.

Any thoughts? I thought about VIA EPIAs, but I really like the consoles
of the soekris boxes. Only turn off is the whole CF card/writes kill it
sooner than a disk.

thanks!
