The problem is that the authentication information needs to be stored

Care to elaborate, Garrett? I've been following this discussion with some interest, and would like to see people elucidate their positions and concerns. Both DES and Jacques have made some interesting points so far.
What exactly is your "sensible authentication system"?
Why is the directory "usually the worst" for storing authentication information?
What do you think are the correct fracture points and how do they relate to the existing PAM/NSS frameworks?
