There was some talk about getting it added into the plan9port collective, but also some concern as it is pretty Linux specific at this point. Comments Russ? I'd like to get a more-pure Linux auth infrastructure in place -- at the very least being able to host auth servers under Linux, either using Plan 9 ports or by porting them (IIRC: there were some unix auth tools, but maybe I'm just thinking of netkey). There's also the option of trying for a Kerberos or SASL auth mechanism for Linux-only environments. This stuff just hasn't been a priority for me because its not a concern in my environment, but its something we clearly need a better story on. -eric
