because that would be useless.

1) it would require modification in the auth source which we have ruled 
out (remember people could be using an LDAP database as their 
authentication source..)

2) if i have the perm_user_id i would still not be able to match this 
with an auth user unless the perm_user_id is stored in the auth 
container database which is clumsy and also violates the principles of 
liveuser (see 1) again)
