Thanks.  I wanted to contribute, and didn't want to hold up the good
work you are doing.

I agree.  Name the time and I will do my best to be there.  I'll
continue to work on my TODO items, but AFAICT, the interface itself
won't change, so feel free to start using it.  Obviously, we'll have to
come up with the actual profiles as well, but those are easy enough to
add.  Some of these profiles should include the use of updatedb and
pam-ccreds, as those make offline authentication possible.  I guess this
can be discussed once the infrastructure is in place and everyone knows
who will do what.

I also didn't explicitly say this, but I think auth-client-config (like
update-inetd), should be in a separate package, so that other client
authentication packages can use it (eg kerberos).
