It is, but we're certainly happy to discuss it.


Also, it's going to be more like dump appl/bsd off into a sourceforge
repository or something similar maintained by a group of interested
people rather than let it rot.  It was very clear on this list that we
cannot get away without pointing people to something to use for
appl/bsd if we drop appl/bsd from our tree.

You want to run a slave login process to destroy tickets when the user
logs out.

Note that a PAM login needs to do the same thing to implement
pam_close_session.
