I am a system administrator at a software company. I am quite new to the game and have been given the task of implementing a new network. The network is to have all mail servers, the SIP server, external DNS etc separate to the file servers, authenticating tools, internal DNS and more.
To increase security each department will be given their own server, which will give them access to only files that are needed to be accessed by them within their department (A fileserver).
My question is do these departmental servers require Kerberos, NIS, NTP, Webserver, Wiki individually? or can there be a semi-'master' server which will host the servers for each of these services and give authentication and supply this service to each other server.
Will this lower security?
Is this a practical and efficient way to go?
Or does each departmental server need to have its own head server for each of these services?
Please help..
