Very good idea indeed.  There is an article in the latest Sys Admin magazine
to take some of the sting out of implementing Kerberos, BTW.

If we can drum up some disk, I think the second server (if it makes its way
here) could definitely be some sort of build box and/or CVS type box to keep
that traffic off of fatalpha.

RAQ 1, 2 or 3? Is it x86 or MIPS?  In any case, the usual method is take the
drive out and hook it up (as a secondary drive) to a compatible host that is
already running.  There's really not a lot of doc out there on doing this.
