10:23 AM EDT 		Vince was kind enough to inform me of some technical errors of mine.

Here are his corrections:

"Our debian installs use the debian preseed, RH installs use kickstart, the kernel "oops" is a actually bug that we spotted and reported to the Linux NFS maintainer, who was able to fix it with our help. rpc.gssd was patched to _not_close/re-open all the pipes, which would trigger the oops. pam_krb5 was modified to refresh tickets on screensaver unlock, not to notify when the tickets would expire. The problem of reading the entire passwd database affects new user creating via "adduser", and bash ~home dir expansion. The nscd "hack" for glibc pre-dates Google, and I believe it's modeled after other unixes. The debian group access model pollutes the NFSv3 16 group limit."

Thanks Vince :-)
