I've looked around on the interwebs but I can't find any sort of answer. I just picked up a Mac Mini and I'm going to throw Lion Server on it for my network.
Most of my computers are running either Leopard or Snow Leopard (one iMac is a PowerPC so I can't upgrade to Lion).
I'd like to use Open Directory for all my network authentication but I want to make sure that the Lion Server can authenticate my iMac running Leopard.
"and it is not about: Networking outside the professional workplace"
"I just picked up a Mac Mini and I'm going to throw Lion Server on it for my **home** network."
One of those close votes was from me (and is my mistake). Not sure why the other is. I wouldn't worry though. If it gets closed, just flag it for re-opening. I doubt that it will actually be closed though. Sorry about that!
