It would be trivial to put in a stub that first checks via RADIUS, or
LDAP, or NIS, after all we just want to validate a user login, once it's
established, then JNOS could go ahead and 'create' the area like it does
for any local login or whatever.

I've been looking at this off and on, I'd like a single function that
has the ability to stub out to NIS, LDAP, or RADIUS, others ? Anyways,
I know about the request, just a matter of doing it :)
