7 The last ideas for OSX were to have some propagation tools from prefix
8 to host OS. This is a bit scary, but would mean useradd actions just
9 get forwarded. This requires root privileges of course. The portage
10 people seem to work on something to keep the administration of users
11 added by Portage, and keep that administration synchronised with the
12 real password backend. This initiative is very nice for prefix of
13 course, as it would probably allow us to just plug on that
14 administration... Sorry, I have no pointers...
