No, I don't wanna "switch" to LDAP. I suggesting only to have an installation option under "Authentification configuration" to install an LDAP Server instead of using /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. Not as an average replacement just as an installation option such as using winbindd, NIS, or Kerberos in case of installing a network server to have these work on the ldap server done by the installation rater than doing it later by hand.

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?
