Yeah, I understand this desire. The unix security model is not very
sophisticated.
However, it's awfully convenient to use user-based security.
Particularly in dealing with networks. If security can be based on unix
users then with pam, you automatically have security solutions that work
in a kerberos, ldap, or even windows network environment.
It doesn't have to be the only way or even the preferred way.

A domain information database would be useful. It would be nice for it
to be accessible via many applications though. Otherwise, you have the
problem you have in Xend right now where the domain 'names' are not
visible to other applications that can still see the domain.

You're right. It's not a make-or-break feature. But it is still useful
for some scenarios.
