Hey Damien,

If you do test it out let me know what you find out about it. I have
been waiting to try it also but have been waiting for a beta...for
years. I, like you, have been looking for something similar for a long
time. We could roll our own using kerberos, openldap and radius but it
would not be standard like AD is for windows.
