(sorry about the null message.)

I am looking for a summary of people's experiences with using client
certs to authenticate end users to Unix services.  

How are you mapping a client cert to a local Unix account name?

Are you using a field within the cert?  If so, which one(s)?  Are
different fields used for different services?

Or are you using some form of Certificate MApping Service which takes
a validated cert as input and returns a local account name?  If so,
how are you implementing this service?

Are you issuing a single cert for multiple services?  Or one cert per
service?

Thanks.
