Fedora's FreeIPA Offers Identity, Security Services

LinuxSecurity.com: Fedora 9, released last month, included the first release of FreeIPA, a new free/open source project that comes out of Red Hat with the goal of becoming a complete and integrated security information management solution. In this article we take a look at exactly what FreeIPA is, both what it can do now and what its developers hope it will be capable of in the future. It seems destined to become a key feature of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, and with Fedora 9 released and FreeIPA tightly integrated, now seems to be the perfect time to explore this new technology. From reading this article what do you think about this security project that Redhat introduced? I found it interesting that they used MIT Kerberos for authentication.
