Easy, but that doesn't go too far, and then you end up
with everyone rolling there own not-very-elegant
ones. It would be nice to have a more extensive
setup to subclass and take out what you don't need.
There are lots of issues regarding ACL's and resources,
hierarchical user management, password coordination
between different systems, automating/verifying user
addition, bulk adding/deleting users, etc.

If you have something interesting, it might be good
to toss out as a next step, since the initial
documentation is pretty primitive.
