I don't understand why there doesn't seem to be any reference to IdentD. I 
know that it's considered by many the most useless service ever; however, 
given a measure of trust for the given shell host (which can without a doubt 
be ascertained with the help of the shell policy), Ident guarantees that a 
given user is that user, and can be banned individually - and that, I 
believe, is the primary goal with multi-user hosts, just like web host 
(Freenode's webchat) for instance.
