Are you advocating the elimination of /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow
altogether, or just storing all user accounts in LDAP?  For a regular
desktop machine not integrated into a larger computing environment,
this would seem to be overkill.  For a machine that has to integrate
into a network, this is already done.

So what's left?  A standalone machine with a large number of users?
