I would advise that you look at: http://ark.sourceforge.net It's early days, but the underlying concept is related to what you are proposing, and if the code turns out as good as the talk (reading 'Motivations', 'Key Ideas' and 'Fundamentals' should get you fired up), then this will turn into something very interesting indeed. I think the key to projects like this are to be able to produce a set of open 'best practise' policies, with the tools there to support them. The advantage to this approach is that I can still modify the policy to be able to keep my alias table in a MySQL table, have my RADIUS authenticate everybody no matter what user/pass you whack in, and other site-specific madness. I think taking sysadmin to the next level of abstraction is long overdue. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
