Full LDAP integration (not just auth), complete with some kind of
"workgroup manager"-esque app to control permissions/access on groups
of machines and allow things like remote desktop as policy. Seems to
be one of the major things that would stop SME take up of Ubuntu.
(i.e. I see it on practically every mac/windows network when I go on
site visits to SME type companies)
