I know we don't yet possess multi-user capabilities, but having the
ability (and requirement) to sign-in upon boot is a good security
mechanism (if only a modest deterring one ala Windows 95/98). I can
imagine that BeLogin would always just work, but it would be scary if it
one day broke due to a Haiku update/upgrade. So I am proposing an
implementation similar in vein to BeLogin officially supported out of the
box by Haiku.
