[ale] user authentication?

[James P. Kinney III]

Kerberos, LDAP and NIS.

Kerberos is a secure authentication process that allocates "tickets"
that are cryptographically signed and allow privileges.

NIS is a central logoin process that replaces/supplements the
/etc/passwd file with a networked version. 

LDAP can also be used to provide access tokens to a system.

I am assuming you want *NIX clients to do this. Windows clients use
domain logins. Samba can do this.
