the /etc/(passwd|shadow) problem is solvable.  linux pam/shadow login supports ldap already,
the linux kernel supports 9p already and /bin/(login|su) could consult an authentication server
on the loopback device, if one were so inclined.  it's not like this would be a radical departure
from authentication methods pam already supports --- like ldap.
