There are no good resources on doing this, period.  I looked into  
setting up LDAP on my FreeBSD 6.2 server for authentication and  
finally gave up.  Granted, my chief resource seems to have gotten a  
life and isn't around to help me out of jams, but still...

What I want is, I think, very simple.  I want all my Macs to be able  
to get their login info, address books, and mail account off my LDAP  
server.  And then I want the laptop to, once it gets authentication,  
load it's $HOME from my MacPro.

Yeah, I don't want to use the MacPro as the LDAP server, but if I had  
too, or it was a lot easier, I probably would.  I've no interest in  
creating another machine just to run linux for LDAP.

Agreed.  I've looked at it a few times and I really really really  
want the mobile home because my wife is 100% incapable of knowing if  
something she's done is on the laptop or the dekstop, and I'm tired  
of trying to figure out which files to synch in which direction.

well, that's a good question.  I thought that machine.local would  
work, but the trouble with that is it will only work on the LAN, and  
I think only if you actually setup DNS for it.
