I've long been after such a package. Many thanks for working on it.

However, I'm a little concerned about the changes I would need to make to /etc/passwd
and /etc/group as I'm worried it might affect things like sshd which needs user and
group ownership of files set fairly strictly. Have you tried it in conjunction with ssh?

Regards,
Tony.
