some time after i stopped working on SMS/Moira, it occurred to me that
it would have been nice to have been able to support platform-specific
shells.. (i.e., different shells on different unix platforms/os
releases, selecting preferred UI type, etc.). Providing a way to
attach arbitrary key/value pairs to accounts might be a bit tricky,
though (probably requring a new table and some potentially nasty
joins..)..
BTW, what service will be loaded with the info for distribution to
clients?
