We've seen two partial sucesses with
GINA already, IBM's and the nsgina
for nis (yp), so it's at least possible...
A GINA that does a minimal window,
collects data and ships it to an
authentication server in some
appropriate format, and then displays
a sucess indication or a server-
supplied error message would allow us to
build suitable back-ends, and might
be more maintainable than previous ones.
I, for one, would love to see a GINA
I could update via the default login.bat (;-))
that would be independant of the
authentication mechanism.
