Agree on all points, the UNIX admin proggie is a bit round-about the first
couple of times through, but after the first couple runs all is well.

RSA had a X gui that mirrored the Windows GUI a couple releases back...was
very intuitive (and the ability to display back through SSH was a huge plus)
and as easy to use as the current Windows admin GUI.

We used the setup w/ Apache and Netscape web servers for hundreds of users.
The cross realm and HA setups worked wonderfully for us.
