There is another issue, which I am very interested in solving (after 3.1): 
network authentication. Especially if you use different servers you need a 
unified user database and a secure way to authenticate users over the 
network. The obvious solution for this is LDAP+Kerberos, IMHO (see 
www.ofb.net/~jheiss/krbldap). Network authentication is also important for 
other things, for example krfb (Desktop Sharing) does not make much sense in 
larger networks without network authentication.
