The test program mentioned in the README helps enormously in getting
the configuration going.  Currently, I can't see it being too much
use outside of an LTSP installation, but perhaps someone with
sharper eyes than mine will come up with good uses for it.

Last night, I removed the test directory (since the module's more-or-less
functional now, and can be be tested in situ), and I also added the license
header to the .h file (although this seems a bit silly: it contains 3 or
4 constant #defines and function prototypes.).

As well, a manpage was added.

Well, that's the question, isn't it?

I think Gadi's idea was to start using the nss_sshsock library right away,
to simplify some of the localapps code.  We'll need to test this fairly
thoughoghly to make sure there aren't any race conditions in the nss code.

The pam modules's there for when we start hacking on removing ldm from the
mix, and using something like lightdm or equiv to replace it.  My understanding
is that greeters can be coded in HTML with lightdm.  Is there a lightdm
tutorial around we can start playing with?

Cheers,
Scott
