	I'm sure PluggableAuthService -- and exUserFolder, etc. -- are great 
and all, but if you don't mind my asking the dumb question ... why 
reinvent a perfectly good wheel?  This seems like exactly the kind of 
thing PAM was designed for.  One product introducing PAM support would 
eliminate the need to support most of these other authentication 
schemes.  And with the kind of extensibility already available, it'd 
still be perfectly possible to create your own authentication method if 
it's not something PAM supports, but most of these are no-brainers for PAM.
