Re: [Bayonne-devel] Carrier-Grade Bayonne

[David Sugar]

You can maintain user accounts in anything you wish, as it's all driven 
through script.  If you want to use a sql database for accounts, for 
example, you can.  The only thing system user accounts are used for is 
to grant non-root users administrative access to Bayonne.  There was 
also some work on having local users host their own bayonne scripts, but 
this is of limited value at the moment.
