I'm personally unhappy with osuser too. Especially
with current state of project management. 

I patched version for me so it works properly, but 
submitting patches did not worked.... And now it's
unclear where is actual CVS repository, who is in
charge etc...

Anyway, I started to play with picocontainer, and
incorporate it into my application.

It looks that using pico container it's possible to
invalidate major advantage of osuser - configuration
system ( I'm killing my configuration code at amazing
rates now. It's dissapearing without trace, and
everything still works. )

So, If your osuser2 can be refactored to be IoC model
3 
compliant it would be really cool. 

And picoable user/group/property/entitlement
management
would be really cool addition for pico/nano community.


I can not promiss you 100% of my development time ( 
I' project leader, and our deadlines are nearing...
and passing by with a wooshing sound... )  - but 
you can cound on sugnificant help from me. 

If you like we can move this disscussion off the list,
to avoid embarassing OSUser people.

regards,
