Nope.  I would hate it if we had to re-invent the wheel for it, but i
guess it'll be hard to convince the BSDi folks to release at least the
specs to the public.

The framework for this has already been laid down in 4.4BSD, but the
``class'' field in passwd(5) remained empty and unused.  Everything
looks like it hasn't got ready in time for 4.4BSD, and thus been
omitted.  Now, i assume some of the former CSRG member currently with
BSDi did complete the intended work.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
